The Board of Public Utilities reviewed this request at their regular meeting on September 16, 2026 and recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
The Department of Public Utilities is requesting approval of Budget Revision 2027-01A for carryover of budget authority for projects that were budgeted in FY2026 but were not completed. It is intended that these projects will be completed in FY2027.
Requirements for carryover budget authority are as follows:
- The projects were budgeted in FY2026 but were not completed.
- We did not have a valid encumbrance as of June 30, 2026 already.
- We have FY2026 Budget left to cover the amount we are proposing to carry over.
- We did NOT re-budget the project or funds in FY2027.
All of these requirements have been met for each of the joint utility funds listed. This item seeks Council approval to carry these funds over in anticipation of completing these projects in FY2027.
Alternatives
If these funds are not carried over the associated projects would have to be postponed, other projects delayed, or the budgeted projects in FY2027 could be cancelled.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
The net fiscal impact to the Joint Utilities Fund in FY2027 is an increase in expenditures of $14,507,148, an increase in revenues of $3,619,826, and a decrease in Fund Balance of $10,887,322.
