Council asked to recognize $800 in insurance reimbursements; staff updates water interconnect terms
Summary
City staff requested a budget amendment to record about $800 in insurance reimbursements to the general fund for fire-department responses and summarized a five-year water interconnect agreement with Cornelia (rate $4.82/1,000 gallons; daily peak 150,000 gallons); staff said neither item is expected to materially affect this year's budget.
At the Sept. 3 work session, city staff asked the council to approve a technical budget amendment to recognize approximately $800 in insurance-reimbursement revenue paid to a third-party company and routed to the city’s general fund from fire-department responses.
Staff said the reimbursements arrive intermittently and that the line item currently exists in the budget with a zero balance; the request is to increase that line to account for the checks recently received. Staff asked whether the council would be comfortable taking action at the Monday regular meeting.
Separately, staff reviewed a five-year water interconnect agreement with the city of Cornelia for emergency or reserve flow at the city limits. The interconnect includes a rate staff cited as $4.82 per 1,000 gallons and a daily peak allotment not to exceed 150,000 gallons; staff said the city has not used Cornelia’s water in the last year and therefore does not expect a budgetary impact for the current fiscal year.
What’s next: Staff said both items can be included on the upcoming council meeting agenda for formal consideration.
