Re: P.O. 6473 - An Ordinance Amending the Budget to fund the installation of two (2)
24 inch EZ2 valves.
Staff Analysis, Consideration:
Presented for City Council consideration and approval is Proposed Ordinance 6473
amending the City's 2014-2015 Water and Sewer fund budget by $220,500 to fund the
cost of installing two (2) 24 inch EZ2 valves in the Water and Sewer fund approved by
you.
Budget Consideration:
This budget amendment is necessary because the water valves that are in place will not
close. The installation of these insert-a-valves will give us the ability to isolate the water
line that runs through the center of the pump room inside the abandoned Water Plant.
This will also aid in the demolition of the old Water Plant as well. $100,000 is for the
purchase of the EZ2 valves. $120,500 is needed for the contractor to dig up the line in
two areas, and tap the 24 inch line for the coupons. The contractor will also disconnect
the two lines feeding the old water plant.
The purchase amount was not funded in the original budget ordinance no. 14-37. It will
increase the budgeted deficit to ($3,996,926). Deficits in the Water and Sewer Fund are
supplemented by the General Fund.
