FY23 Budget Amendment Number 3 Page 2 of 3
EXHIBIT A – FY23 BUDGET AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 DETAIL LISTING
1. Rescue Vehicle - $350,000 (Budget Amendment). The tactical armored vehicle for
special operations units and tactical teams to use for responding to active shooter scenarios,
barricaded suspects, response and rescue, and high-risk warrant service. This item is an
interlocal agreement with the City of College Station, City of Bryan, Texas A&M
University, and Brazos County. The City of College Station will procure, maintain, operate,
and store the Rescue Vehicle. The Parties to the initial purchase will each pay an amount
equal to one-quarter of the total cost of purchasing the Rescue Vehicle.
2. Fun For All Enhancements $20,000 expenditure $170,000 revenue (Budget
Amendment). The Fun For All Committee has requested for the Parks Department to build
enhancements that include benches, tables and sunshades to the playground totaling under
$20,000. The Committee also has sent the City most of their fund balance from fundraising
in the amount of $170,000. This has been added to the fund balance and will be used for
future enhancements in FY24 and FY25.
3. Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (LEOSE) Funds - $8,153 (Budget
Amendment). This item provides additional training budget to meet State of Texas
compliance requirements. The City of College Station received LEOSE funds and must
show a corresponding budget for use of those funds.
4. Planning & Development Grant – GIS Training $20,000 (Budget Amendment).
Planning and Development received a grant from the SUGA Board for GIS Pro Training
for their GIS employees in the amount of $20,000. There are no required matching funds
for this grant.
5. Street Maintenance Contract Labor $400,000 (Budget Amendment). This item will
increase the contracted labor budget for streets maintenance. Funding increase will allow
the completion of current repairs and maintenance in FY23. There is available fund
balance to cover the budget increase.
6. Water Work Order and Chemical Supplies - $350,000 (Budget Amendment). This
item will increase the supply budget to continue utility operations. Chemical expenses
increased due to higher volumes of water pumped and product price increases. Work order
expenses increased due to additional maintenance caused by current weather conditions.
This increase in budget will be offset by Water revenues coming in higher than budgeted.
7. Property Casualty Premiums - $165,000 (Budget Amendment). The growth of the
City’s fleet and the insured value of City facilities have caused premiums paid for insurance
coverage to increase more than 100% since FY18. FY23 premiums paid were 30% more
than the FY22 premiums. Funding will come from Property Casualty Fund working capital.
8. Water Transfer to Risk Mitigation - $300,000 (Interfund Transfer). Increased transfer
between the Water Operating and Risk Mitigation Funds. Water received more industrial
FY23 Budget Amendment Number 3 Page 3 of 3
revenue than previously projected. As a result, this item will increase the budgeted transfer
by $300,000. Revenue will be held in the Water Risk Mitigation Fund.
9. Electric Risk Mitigation Transfer - $2,000,000 (Interfund Transfer). This item will
budget a transfer between the Electric Operating and Risk Mitigation Funds. This was not
originally budgeted in FY23 due to projected fund balance. However, FY23 Electric
operating revenues are higher than originally anticipated. As a result, additional revenues
are available to transfer to the Risk Mitigation Fund.
10. IT Replacements $230,000 (Budget Amendment and Interfund Transfer). Transfer
between IT Replacement Fund and General Fund to reconcile previously planned
purchases. Prior year supply chain issues caused a backlog of IT related purchases which
have recently been delivered. This transfer will align prior year budgeted items with current
year shipments. Appropriate funding was allocated to and is available in the IT
Replacement Fund to cover the current year expenses.
11. Fleet Replacements $50,000 (Budget Amendment and Interfund Transfer). Transfer
between Fleet Replacement Fund and General Fund for replacement of generator at Fire
Station #2. Appropriate funding was allocated and is available in the Fleet Replacement
Fund to reconcile this transfer.
