Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: As part of the DOU ongoing management of its CIP and MYOPs, a periodic review is conducted, and financial resources are reallocated to provide improvements in a timely and efficient manner. The review also enables financial resources to be allocated based on priority as ranked in the DOU Capital Improvement Programming Guide. This process results in recommended budget adjustments to ensure progress continues on priority projects, including the establishment of projects.
Policy Considerations: The recommendation to adjust the Operating, CIP and MYOP budgets that the DOU manages is consistent with the DOU 2020-2025 Strategic Plan goals and objectives to effectively manage infrastructure assets and deliver reliable services. Adjustments to operating or projects more than $100,000 and establishment of CIPs or MYOPs must be approved by City Council.
Economic Impacts: Not applicable.
Environmental Considerations: The Community Development Department, Environmental Services Manager has determined that the proposed activity is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(b). The fiscal management of the DOU’s CIP is an ongoing administrative fiscal activity and is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Reallocation of resources ensures that projects move forward in a timely manner and that financial resources are allocated based on the priority and necessity of the projects or operating needs for the applicable fiscal year. The recommended budgetary adjustments include Drainage Operations (14001431) operating budget, 15 CIP projects, and five MYOP budgets in the Water Fund (Fund 6005), Wastewater Fund (Fund 6006), Solid Waste Fund (Fund 6007), and Storm Drain Fund (Fund 6011).
Financial Considerations: The reallocation of existing resources in the aforementioned funds will have a net zero effect within the funds as illustrated in Attachment 1.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
