SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department CONTACT Cindy Epperson, Director of Finance & Budget 576 -6771 PERSON /TELEPHONE: 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. (See attachment for official proposed appropriation.)
