PD Hostage Negotiation Vehicle - $200,000 (Budget Amendment & Interfund Transfer) The Police Department currently has a Hostage Negotiation Trailer which must be joined to a vehicle for hostage negotiation situations. The trailer was scheduled for replacement in FY20 and encumbered into FY21. Rather than purchasing a new trailer the Police Department plans to purchase one self-contained Hostage Negotiation Vehicle (HNV). The cost of the combined HNV is $278,000. There is already $78,000 budgeted in the Fleet Replacement Fund for the trailer. This amendment is to authorize the additional $200,000 expense from the Fleet Replacement Fund. The funding will be made available by permanently removing a Command Vehicle and a Jail Transportation Van from the Fleet Replacement Fund. Sixty thousand dollars have been contributed to the Fleet Replacement Fund for the Command vehicle and $140,000 have been contributed for the Jail Transportation Van. 2. Boyett Street Closure -- $110,000 (Budget Amendment) Due to public safety concerns, Boyett Street will need to be closed every Friday and Saturday. This amendment will cover the cost of street closure with a steel barrier until the end of August with a contractor provided Area Wide Protective (AWP) equipment rental and labor costs. This cost will be recorded in the General Fund in the Community Services department will be covered by additional sales taxes received in the General Fund. The long- term solution will be the Boyett Street bollards and construction is scheduled to start Summer 2021 and will be operational in August 2021. Construction will be funded via existing budget savings in the Streets Capital Improvement Projects Fund. 3. Wastewater Truck Replacement Cost - $42,000 (Budget Amendment) This budget amendment item will allow the department to replace a vehicle lost in a fire. The department was previously scheduled to replace a similar vehicle. This replacement included a trade in credit of $42,000. However, due to the unexpected fire and vehicle loss, the department can no longer trade in the remaining vehicle. Therefore, this budget amendment will allow the department to purchase the replacement vehicle without the trade in credit. This item will be offset by additional Wastewater operating revenue. Any insurance proceeds received will go towards the vehicle replacement in FY21. 4. Community Development Block Grant-CV Funds -- $822,034 (Budget Amendment) College Station was allocated an additional $822,034 in CDBG-CV funds from HUD for economic assistance due to COVID-19. This was passed in Resolution No. 12-10-20-3.11. This amendment allows for the expenditure of those funds. 5. Parkland Dedication CIP - $71,040 (Budget Amendment) Parkland Dedication funds are appropriated as received and projects are identified. Since the creation of the FY21 Budget, an additional $71,040 has been received and projects are identified. This item will appropriate budget in Community Zone A. Exhibit A – FY21 Budget Amendment #2 Detail Listing 6. Prior Year Copier Replacements - $19,175 (Budget Amendment) Three (3) copiers funded through the IT Replacement Fund were eligible for replacement in FY19 and FY20 and departments had sufficiently contributed into the fund to cover the cost of these copiers. However, the operating departments chose to postpone these purchases. This amendment is to authorize the release of funding to purchase these copiers in FY21. 7. Water/Wastewater Contingency CIP Transfer - $225,000 (Interfund Transfer) This item is a Contingency CIP Transfer request. As part of the Council-directed and approved James Parkway and Puryear Drive Rehabilitation project, Water Services recognized the need to rehabilitate a small portion of existing Water/Wastewater lines. However, these utility projects are currently unfunded. If approved, staff will coordinate the utility rehabilitation with the existing Streets project. The net effect of this Transfer request is zero. FY21 budget was previously approved on Water/Wastewater Contingency projects. This transfer will reduce the Co ntingency budget and increase it by the same amount on the new utility rehabilitation projects.
