Title
Approval of Budget Revision 2025-64
Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities approve Budget Revision 2025-64 as presented and forward to Council for consideration and approval.
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
The purpose of this budget revision is to make budget modifications necessary for year-end related to Gas labor and benefits for additional work performed due to the PRC inspection and response by GWS; to properly distribute the cost of power transfer from Electric Distribution to Electric Production due to increased power production costs; and to properly distribute the cost of water transfer from Water Distribution to Water Production due to water production costs and reduced sales projections. See attachments for details of the revision.
Alternatives
If the budget revision is not approved, the Gas Fund will be over-budget for labor and benefits. The Electric Distribution and Water Distribution Funds will be over-budget for the cost of power and water.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
The net impact on the Joint Utilities Fund is an increase of expenditures and a decrease in fund balance of $120,000 for the increase in Gas labor and benefits. There is no net impact on the Joint Utilities Fund for the interfund transfer portions of the budget revision for Electric and Water.
