Memorandum
To: Steve Fitzgibbons, City Manager ~ ~
From: Rebecca Underhill, CPA, Director ~ance~,
Date: December 9, 2005
Re: P O 5578
Presented for City Council consideration and approval is PO 5578. This proposed ordinance appropriates
$260,235 from the General Fund Balance to the Capital Improvements Fund to fund the portion of the
developer agreement with D.H.S. Camellia Estates, LLP that is not related to water utility improvements.
The agreement, approved December 6, 2005 provides for participation by the City of 30% of the estimated
costs ($1,376,900), at $413,070. The agreement also will pay $100,000 to relocate and oversize a force
main and lift station, increasing the City's cost of this project to $513,070. The City can fund the utility
portion of the project, $152,835 of the primary agreement, plus $100,000 for the relocation and oversizing,
through funds available in the Utility Improvements Bond Fund.
There is no funding available for the remaining portion (drainage, streets). This budget amendment will
allocate funds from the General Fund balance to fund this portion, $260,235.
