OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED FUNDS IN THE
WASTEWATER FUND FROM THE COLLECTION SYSTEM REPLACEMENT PROJECT
TO THE WATER RECLAMATION REPLACEMENT PROJECT
WHEREAS, the original funding request for the Water Reclamation Replacement Project
for equipment replacements at the Drake Water Reclamation Facility has been found to be
inadequate to cover all immediate needs, including unanticipated equipment replacement; and
WHEREAS, as Utilities has instituted the use of trenchless technologies on more and
more collection system replacement projects, "per project" costs have been reduced resulting in a
surplus in the Collection System Replacement Project over what had expected to need for such
replacements; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance transfers $350,000 in the Wastewater Fund from the
Collection System Replacement Project to the Water Reclamation Replacement Project; and
WHEREAS, the specifics of this transfer were discussed with the Water Board at its
June 4, 2015, work session and the Water Board voted to recommend Council approval at the
June 18, 2015 regular meeting; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance does not appropriate any new funding; and
WHEREAS, these funds will continue to be used for capital improvements to the City's
wastewater system, consistent with the purpose of the original appropriation; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 10, of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to
transfer by ordinance any unexpended and unencumbered appropriated amount or portion thereof
from one fund (project) to another fund (project), provided that the purpose for which the
transferred funds are to be expended remains unchanged.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that the unexpended and unencumbered appropriated amount of THREE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($350,000) is hereby authorized for transfer
in the Wastewater Fund from the Collection System Replacement Project to the Water
Reclamation Replacement Project.
