SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
During our final review of the 2013 preliminary budget and 2012 budget trends and
estimates, we noted a few instances where additional appropriation is warranted. The major
component of this ordinance is Equipment Rental's fuel expense, as the recent spike in fuel
prices was unanticipated and unbudgeted. Also, the new fueling station at the corner of 1st
Street and Lincoln Avenue became operational recently, and Equipment Rental's fuel
expense includes the filling of these two new tanks. As this is an internal service fund, other
operating funds "purchase" their fuel from Equipment Rental, so increased prices also affect
other operating funds, and adds revenue to Equipment Rental. Additional appropriations for
fuel are proposed for the following funds:
• General Fund - Police $22,000
• Parks & Recreation Fund 8,000
• Refuse Fund 30,000
• Transit Operating Fund 75,000
• Equipment Rental Fund $135,000(both Expenditure and
Revenue)
A trend we are seeing is a downward turn in the Tahoma Cemetery revenues. Several
contributing factors include an increasing demand for cremation, and record low interest
rates, which reduce the amount of interest earned in the Cemetery Trust fund. An additional
subsidy from the Parks and Recreation of $40,000 (from $50,000 to $90,000) is required to
keep the cemetery fund balance at a minimum at the end of 2012.
The related fund reserves (or fund balances) are adequate to cover theses additional costs.
