Short Title:
Transfer of Funding Source for NW 141st Street Remilling Project to Safe Neighborhood Fund
Staff Summary:
Issue / Recommendation — The City Commission approved expenditure of $93,680 of General Fund funds to
remill the roadway surface of NW 141' Street. Staff recommends the City Commission approve the source of
these funds be changed from the General Fund to the Safe Neighborhood Fund.
Background — The City receives gasoline tax proceeds from the State each year, 1 to 5 Cents Local Option Fuel Tax
and 1 to 6 Cents Local Option Fuel Tax, which is recorded in the Safe Neighborhood Fund. Under State Statute the
proceeds from the 1 to 5 Cents Local Option Fuel Tax can only be used for roadway improvement while the
proceeds from the 1to 6 Cents Local Option Fuel Tax can be used for either roadway improvement or roadway
maintenance.
On February 26.2020 the City Commission adopted Resolution 20-9735 which authorized expenditure of $93,680
of General Fund funds to remill a portion of NW 1415L Street.
Current Activity — Staff has made the determination that dedicated funds from gasoline tax proceeds are available
in the Safe Neighborhood Fund for roadway improvements. Using this as the funding source for the NW 141st
Street remilling project will save the General Fund $93,680, allowing these funds to be conserved to further
restore General Fund Available Fund Balance to approved levels as directed by the State Operational Audit
(Finding #3). Strengthening General Fund Available Fund Balance will also serve to strengthen the City's financial
buffer as it faces the prospect of future revenue uncertainty due to COVID-19. Sufficient fiscal capacity in the
General Fund is required to fund ongoing City governmental services while projects undertaken in Safe
Neighborhood can be deferred if necessary in the future without impacting the City's ability to provide basic
services.
Financial Impact — Approval of this recommendation will result in an encumbrance of $93,680 to be removed
from Account 41-541340 — Roads & Streets — Other Contracted Services and added to Account 44-541800 — Safe
Neighborhood — Resurfacing Improvements with the following result.
