Staff flags fuel-oil overrun; budget review to include revised gallons estimates
Summary
Staff told the board diesel did not exceed estimates but fuel oil costs were substantially higher; the board scheduled a budget review to reconcile gallons and set conservative high-use estimates for planning.
Staff told the board they will bring updated budget numbers for fuel usage and said diesel costs were within estimates but fuel oil usage exceeded projections by a large margin.
During a preview of the budget review, the staff member (S2) said they had the gallons figures ready and that "we didn't exceed the estimate on diesel" but that "we exceeded it by a long shot on the fuel oil." The board scheduled a budget review for the next meeting to finalize numbers and agree on a conservative high estimate for fuel line items.
Next steps: staff will present the fuel-gallon accounting at the next budget review, and the board will confirm whether line items need adjusting before final budget approval.
