Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund Contingency (1100990)
DISCUSSION:
On March 12, 2024, your Board directed staff to enter into new management agreements with representatives from the Arcata, Ferndale and Fortuna Veterans Memorial Buildings, the terms of which will include the full payment of utilities needed to run these facilities. Per your Board's direction, this may be accomplished by either utilizing option A or option B as listed below:
A. Public Works will manage and pay utility costs directly for each Veterans Hall. Staff will track annual costs to budget accordingly.
B. Veterans continue to manage utility accounts, costs for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 are established based on actual costs, to be adjusted annually in the future based on CPI.
Public Works staff will engage with the Veterans groups to negotiate and finalize said agreements. In the interim, a transfer from Contingencies is necessary to issue payments for utility costs as directed by your Board. This transfer will address the needed adjustments to pay Arcata, Ferndale and Fortuna Veterans Memorial Buildings' full utilities, based on costs incurred in calendar year 2023, in the amount of $34,134 and $6,344 for the Ferndale Veterans stipend payment for FY 2022-23 paid in the current FY.
