Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities recommend Budget Revision 2025-31 in the amount of $387,486 and include the attached budget revision in the minutes for the record, and forward to Council for approval.
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
Ms. Karen Kendall, Deputy Utility Manager - Finance & Administration will be on vacation the date of this meeting. Ms. Joann Gentry, Business Operations Manager will be onsite during the meeting to address questions from the board.
The purpose of this budget revision is to increase both the revenue and expenditure budget for the Department of Homeland Security (DHSEM)/FEMA grant awarded to Los Alamos County Emergency Management and the Department of Public Utilities for the purpose of purchasing two emergency generators for use at well sites around the County. The grant requires a 25% match.
Alternatives
If the budget revision is not approved, the grant will have to be rejected. BPU and County Council previously approved the submission of the grant application and acceptance of the grant award.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
The net fiscal impact to the Joint Utilities Fund is an increase in revenue of $290,607, expenditures of $387,476 and a decrease in fund balance by $96,869.
