Commission unanimously amends budget to cover $257,862 sewer payment for Bell Park splash pad
Summary
The commission approved a $257,862 budget amendment to pay a final sewer utility pay request for the Bell Park splash pad project, noting the work dated to 2024 and was not carried forward into that year’s budget, so staff moved to amend the current budget to cover the payment.
The Water/Wastewater Commission voted unanimously to amend the budget by $257,862 to pay the final sewer-utility pay request for the Bell Park splash pad.
Staff told commissioners that the work dated to 2024 and had not been carried forward in the appropriate year’s budget during a transition, creating a shortfall if the commission did not amend the current budget. A staff member said the final pay request received through staff amounted to $257,862 and recommended a budget amendment to authorize payment.
A motion to amend the budget for the sewer portion of the splash pad by $257,862 was made, seconded and approved. Commissioners recorded aye votes and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Approving the budget amendment allows the utility to pay the outstanding contractor request tied to an already executed 2024 project; staff noted this was an administrative oversight during the budget carryover process and treated the payment as a contractual obligation.
Next steps: Staff will implement the budget amendment and process the final payment, and the commission requested clearer budget carryover tracking for completed projects.
