Council approves $166,359 in budget transfers for vehicle maintenance, fuel and street equipment
Summary
The council approved budget transfers totaling $166,359 to cover unforeseen vehicle maintenance and fuel expenses and to purchase equipment for the public works department, after staff explained fuel price and usage increases and equipment needs.
The City of Doral City Council approved May 14 budget transfers totaling $166,359 to cover higher‑than‑expected vehicle maintenance and fuel costs and to purchase equipment for the public works department.
Assistant City Manager/CFO Fernando Casamayor and Public Works Director Carlos Arroyo explained the transfers respond to an increase in fuel usage and price, plus purchases that include a tire changer, a four‑post lift and a street‑repair hot box. Casamayor said fuel budgeting is difficult to predict and that multiple factors outside the city's control can affect totals.
Councilwoman Cabral pulled the item for clarification; staff confirmed the transfers are intended to close forecast gaps in current fiscal accounts and cover the specified equipment purchases. The clerk recorded a unanimous vote in favor of the transfers.
