At that time, Commissioners requested a more detailed report of the additional LEED program costs for the City Hall Remodel before approving the budget amendment. The proposed FY2009 Budget Amendment makes the following changes: 1. Planning Fund Deficit: The City’s Planning Fund ended the year with a negative working capital balance in FY2008 of ($78,500.) This deficit was a result of significantly lower Planning Fee revenue collected in FY08. We budgeted to receive $447,000 in Planning Fees and only collected $245,300. Although Department spending was less than budgeted for the year, it was not low enough to cover the significant decrease in Planning Fee revenue. 2. City Hall Construction – LEED: On October 1, 2007 the Commission gave city staff direction to pursue LEED-Existing Building certification for the remodel of the Old Library into 84 the New City Hall. At the time, it was estimated that the additional costs would total $300,000. After that decision was made, design, construction, and consulting contracts were approved to bring about the certification. The project was bid as a LEED project. We did not acquire bids for products or services that would not have met the LEED standards. James Goehrung, Director of Facilities Services, has attached information related to the LEED program. His memo discusses items that have yet to be purchased and possible rebates that may be received in the coming months, depending on performance of the building. Comma-Q Architecture, Inc has scheduled out $77,670 in Professional Fees and $247,878 in identifiable Construction Costs, for a total of $325,548.00 in LEED related costs, after subtracting $25,000 for a Northwestern Energy rebate on the buildings solar panels. Approval of the Budget Amendment in the amount of $356,500 will cover the known costs at this point. Any rebates or grants that may be received will be deposited to the General Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Commission Resolution No. 4128 – Amending Appropriation Resolution for Fiscal Year 2008-2009. FISCAL EFFECTS: The fiscal effects of this amendment will decrease the General Fund ending fund balance (cash reserve) by a total of $435,000. It will increase cash balances in the Planning Fund and the City Hall Construction Fund, as of July 1, 2008. General Fund Projected Fund Balance FY09 Beginning Fund Balance $4,370,538 Add: FY09 Estimated Revenues $22,287,851 Less: FY09 Amended Appropriations ($22,879,834) FY09 Ending Fund Balance $3,778,555 This will leave the General Fund with a projected FY2009 ending cash balance of $3,778,555; representing 18.1% of operating revenues for the year. 85 ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
