Committee reviews several capital transfers and a small vehicle replacement appropriation
Summary
Staff presented routine budget adjustments moving residual capital funds between water and stormwater projects, a $527k reimbursement to the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness project from ODOT proceeds, and a $116,374 appropriation to replace three Public Works pickup trucks.
Committee members were briefed on a set of capital fund transfers and appropriations intended to reconcile residual project balances and fund ongoing capital needs.
Budget staff said the city is recognizing $527,476.20 from the sale of land (ODOT acquisition of property between Turkey Mountain and Highway 75) and returning those proceeds to the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness project to reimburse the project account that initially paid for the property. Jared Moore described the backstory: the city purchased land in 2020 to prevent commercial encroachment; ODOT later acquired the parcel for right‑of‑way and the proceeds are being returned to the Turkey Mountain project.
Other intra‑fund transfers include $458,532.40 moved within the TMUA water capital projects fund to the East 4675 Waterline Road/Grand River Pump Station repairs (the city is partnering with Mayes County and the county will cover any cost overages) and transfers of $46,728.78 (stormwater) and $254,741.32 (TMUA water) for the Owen Park Detention Pond rehabilitation and related flood control work.
Finally, staff proposed a supplemental appropriation of $116,374.53 from the short‑term capital fund to replace three Public Works pickup trucks; old vehicles will typically go to surplus and auction or be reassigned where feasible.
Nut graf: These items are primarily housekeeping transfers and small capital appropriations to close completed projects and fund needed repairs and vehicle replacements; staff described the ODOT sale as having yielded a net gain that returns money to Turkey Mountain project reserves.
Ending: Committee members asked clarifying questions about project scopes and parking; no final votes were recorded at the meeting and staff will proceed with the standard ordinance and approval process for budget amendments.
