SUBMITTED BY: Cindy Epperson, Director of Finance & Budget CONTACT Cindy Epperson, 576 -6771 PERSON /TELEPHONE: SUMMARY EXPLANATION: During the development of the 2013 preliminary budget and the review of 2012 budget trends and estimates, several instances of additional unbudgeted expenditures that exceeded the total fund budget authority were noted. Some of these increases come with additional revenues to support them and others would need to be paid from the affected fund balance. The following page provides a summary of the appropriation and is summarized by fund; the bulleted line item identifies the net impact on the fund balance, if any. The sub - bullets identify (a) the increased costs, followed by (b) additional revenues, when applicable. Where revenues are not identified, the fund reserves (or fund balances) are adequate to cover the additional costs. (See attachment for official proposed appropriation.) (Continued on next page.)

PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, signed and approved this day of , 2012 MICAH CAWLEY, MAYOR ATTEST: CITY CLERK First Reading: Publication Date: Effective Date: Cepperson 10/9/2012 • 000 - General Fund No net use of reserves o Transfer to Yakima Redevelopment Area (YRDA) Fund $900,000 At the September 25, 2012 Study Session, part of the discussion was the City's need to match the State's annual $1 million commitment of sales tax as authorized by the Local Infrastructure Financing Tool (LIFT) legislation in order to make necessary improvements in the Yakima Redevelopment_ Area. Match is basically any local revenue except for revenue derived from the State. Originally, County SIED loans and grants were considered to be match, but since the SIED funding is originally derived from the State, it really cannot be counted as match, which left the City short of matching the $1 million for 2012. As the 2012 budget estimates were developed, revenues are coming in stronger than anticipated, and General Fund is in the position to make a one -time contribution of $900,000 for the YRDA improvements out of current revenues. In a separate item on the October 16 meeting agenda, the City is proposing to enter into an interlocal agreement with Yakima County which sets forth the allocation of expense on the major roadwork in LIFT area. Reimbursement to the County from this General Fund transfer is considered to be a valid match. • 141 - Street & Traffic Eng. Fund Total net use of reserves $230,000 o - Snow and Ice Control $230,000 In January of 2012, the City experienced a major snow storm with snow accumulations large enough to require an expanded plowing effort. (This was the first year in over 15 years that needed this higher level of response). Originally, the additional cost was estimated to be about $400,000, but we delayed an appropriation until later in the year when we could determine the net appropriation required at the total fund level. An appropriation of $230,000 is required to adequately budget for the 2012 street operation. Note: The Street Fund carries a higher fund balance as a percentage of the expenditure budget than most other operating funds because major snow storms are likely but unpredictable, both in frequency and cost to respond. • 173 - Tourism Promotion Area Fund - No net use of reserves o Transfer Assessment to YVVCB $50,000 o Revenue - Tourism Promotion Area Assessment $50,000 In the fall of 2011, the hoteliers in the Yakima Tourism Promotion Area agreed to raise the room night assessment, and an estimate of the increased revenue was budgeted. This year the revenue is exceeding the original estimate. The Yakima Valley Visitors and Convention Bureau (YVVCB) is contracted by the City to manage this program under the guidance of the TPA Commission. The contract stipulates that all funds collected are turned over to YVVCB monthly, so that if we collect more than budgeted, we are required to remit the balance. TPA proceeds can only be used for tourism promotion activities as approved by the TPA Commission. • 331 -Parks & Rec. Capital Fund Total net use of reserves $40,000 o Upper Kiwanis Park project -soil quality change order $40,000 The Kiwanis Park Women's Fastpitch and Little League Ball Field project required a change order to accommodate soil quality and profile conditions discovered after the bid was awarded. The extra cost for purchase, delivery and placement of the proper drainage soil type cost the bulk of the final change order. This project requires an additional $40,000 appropriation to complete. The estimated reserve balance at the end of 2012 after Kiwanis Park project completion is about $75,000. • 462 - Transit Operating Fund - No net use of reserves o Repair and Maintenance - Ellensburg Route $80,000 The new Ellensburg transit route operated in partnership with Hope Source has been very well - received. In response, some of the peak times are using large buses, and there have been some supplemental routes established. The additional usage coupled with the age and condition of the buses obtained for this pilot program has caused greater vehicle maintenance costs. Like General Fund noted above, Transit revenue estimates are exceeding the budget, so that this additional expense will not create a use of reserves for the fund.
