TO: The l lonorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: David A. Wheeler, P,E.ae.9J,,V
Assistant City Engineer/Utilities Director
SUBJECT': Approval and Authorization for Transfer of Funds
from W and WW Small Equipment and Operating
to W and WW Equipment
As a part of this fiscal years budget, Water and Wastewater Operating planned to purchase seven
new Motorola 800 MHz radios. Through the budget preparation and approval process the radios
were estimated to cost$1,450.00 each. According to the purchasing manual these radios were
considered small equipment and fell under budget line item 5230.
Sometime around the budget approval, Motorola had a price increase to $1,781.00 per radio.
According to the purchasing manual these radios now fall under capital purchases under budget
line item 6400. Public Works had the same problem and brought a similar request before the
City Commission on January 16, 2001, under item VII-G.
Therefore, Staff requests that the City Commission approve the authorization to transfer funds to
purchase the radios as planned in accordance to the following transfers:
• Transfer $5,343 (3 radios times $1,781) from Water Operating - small equipment(line item
5230) to Water Operating- equipment(line item 6400)
• Transfer $5,800 (4 radios times $I,450) from Wastewater Operating - small equipment(line
item 5230) to Wastewater Operating - equipment(line item 6400)
• Transfer $1,324 (4 radios times $331) from Wastewater Operating - small equipment(line
item 5230)to Wastewater Operating-equipment (line item 6400)
In addition, Staff requests the City Commission approve the purchase of the Motorola 800 Mllz
radios by sole source purchase so that they will be compatible with the current radios no 'being
used throughout the City.
