DISCUSSION:

Public Works Heavy Equipment placed an order to purchase two (2) Peterbilt 567 service trucks in fiscal year (FY) 2025-26. The equipment ordered was expected to arrive in FY 2025-26; however, the equipment arrived in FY 2026-27 due to manufacturer delays. The funding for the equipment ordered and funded in FY 2025-26 was not included in the FY 2026-27 adopted budget for Heavy Equipment, 3540330, causing a shortfall in planned expenditures of $846,204.

 

SOURCE OF FUNDING: 

Heavy Equipment (3540330)

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

*Projected amounts are estimates and are subject to change.

Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:

The total amount required for the supplemental budget is $846,204. Funds budgeted in FY 2025-26 were not expended as anticipated due to the vehicles arriving late, leaving an unanticipated surplus in the Heavy Equipment budget, 3540330 in FY 2025-26. Funds for the purchase of two Peterbilt 567 service trucks were not included in the adopted FY 2026-27 budget for Heavy Equipment, 3540330. Sufficient funds exist in the Heavy Equipment fund, 3540. Adoption of the supplemental budget will utilize fund balance to purchase equipment in FY 2026-27.
