Increases

SUMMARY EXPLANATION
The Equipment Rental Division is presenting a fuel budget appropriation request to cover fuel
expenditures projected to exceed the 2007 Budget by $120,000 Even though an increase in
these costs was included in the 2007 adopted budget, gasoline and diesel prices continued to
escalate at unprecedented rates, resulting in a current budget shortfall Refinery limitations,
global competition for crude oil and geo- political challenges have raised the price of crude oil to
over $90 a barrel. Just last year, a barrel of oil was around $70, while a few short years ago, it
sold for around $20 In addition, even though user divisions are doing what they can to be fuel
efficient, city -wide fuel consumption continues to increase over previous years because of recent
annexation additions, resulting in increased service demands
The attached Appropriation Ordinance amends the 2007 Equipment Rental and other operating
fund budgets to accommodate unanticipated fuel expenditures due to significant increases in fuel
costs; both actual and projected The three divisions most effected are Transit for $37,000;
Police for $36,000, and Refuse for $15,000 —the adjustments in these three divisions make up
over 73% the total appropriation
