Finance committee reviews January enterprise results, approves multiple purchase orders
Summary
Committee heard that wastewater and parking produced positive net income for the month but parking receipts lagged expectations; the committee approved a set of purchase orders covering engineering, software, salt and public-safety training, with two clerical corrections to PO numbers noted by staff.
The finance committee reviewed January budget-to-actual results for enterprise funds and approved a set of purchase requests.
Finance report: The director reported positive net income for both enterprise funds in January: wastewater posted net income of $234,533 and parking posted net income of $68,990 for the month. The director noted parking revenue for January was lower than expected after a new parking-management company began in January, explaining a backlog in transient parking receipts and outstanding December funds that the director expected to resolve in subsequent periods.
Purchase approvals: The committee approved multiple purchase requests presented at the meeting. The items read into the record included: - Pennoni — $156,500 for engineering services at Goose Creek (upgrades). - CivicPlus — $12,283.74 for network hosting for westchester.com. - Eastern Salt — $17,982.60 (two invoices) for salt purchases. - E.M. Cuts — $57,201 for a litter dump truck for public works (correction noted to PO number). - Oregon Tree Experts — $13,460 for pruning work (dates listed in record: 01/21–01/29/2025). - Iron Rose Canine — $14,000 for police canine explosives training. - Univar — $13,155.25 for soda ash at Taylor Run. - USALCO — $12,540 for phosphorus removal chemicals. - CDW — $27,003.75 for Barracuda threat-protection software (staff corrected an earlier transcribed amount).
Barb, a staff member, read corrections into the record: the CDW PO should be $27,003.75 (not $23,750), and the E.M. Cuts PO should be $57,201 (not $57,210). The committee approved the listed purchases; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
What’s next: The director said the finance department expects parking revenue to improve in coming months as backlogged payments clear and the new vendor’s remittances are processed. Approved purchase orders will proceed through purchasing and vendor channels.
