Boynton Beach staff propose $3 million midyear revenue boost, tie funds to Chapel Hill resurfacing
Summary
City staff told commissioners the midyear budget amendment raises revenue from $137M to $140M, citing $640,000 from the ICE 287(g) program, $500,000 in special police detail receipts, a $103,000 CRA contract, and a $1.3M settlement; most of the increase will be transferred to capital for the Chapel Hill resurfacing project.
Andrew Mack, the city's deputy city manager, told commissioners at an agenda review that staff will ask the commission to approve a midyear budget amendment increasing revenue from $137 million to $140 million. "We're increasing from 137 million to 140 million," Mack said, and listed revenue items including the ICE 287(g) program (about $640,000), increased special police detail (about $500,000), a police services contract with the CRA (about $103,000) and a P5 settlement of about $1.3 million.
Mack said the single largest expenditure shift would be a transfer to the capital improvement program to cover the cost of the Chapel Hill resurfacing project. He told the group the budget amendment also increases overtime and reimbursable wages for the police department and funds public-safety equipment, some of which will be covered by the 287(g) funds.
Staff also asked the commission to approve a purchase order for resurfacing work. "We recommend issuing a purchase order to Eminem Asphalt d/b/a All County Paving in an amount of $631,000 plus a contingency of $63,000 to do a total not to exceed of $694,000 for the Chapel Hill resurfacing phase 2 project," Mack said. He tied that purchase to the budget transfer into capital to cover the project cost and any unforeseen conditions.
Fabio and Allen, staff members present for technical questions, were available to answer commissioners' detailed inquiries about line items.
If the commission approves the amendment and the contract at the June 2 meeting, staff said the transfer to CIP will fund the resurfacing work and the contract will allow the city to proceed with phase 2.
The commission was advised the amendment primarily recognizes one-time revenues and settlements; staff did not present a vote tally at the agenda review and the final action will occur at the formal June 2 meeting.
