SUBJECT:
title
Establishing Fixed Asset Line for Budget Unit 1100-243 Correctional Facility and Approve Appropriation Transfer (4/5 Vote Required)
end
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve an appropriations transfer request establishing a fixed asset line in FY 2020-21 Budget Unit 1100-243 Correctional Facility for purchase and installation of a trash compactor (Attachment 1).
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund
DISCUSSION:
The Correctional Facilities’ trash compactor is about 19 years old. Due to constant exposure to the weather, it has rusted and deteriorated to the point it leaks sludge. Building Maintenance has patched the compactor as needed, but these are only temporary fixes that fail relatively quickly and do not fully restore the integrity of the compactor. Both for safety and environmental reasons, the compactor should be replaced as soon as possible.
Due to timing constraints, this item has not been reviewed or approved by the Office of the Auditor-Controller.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The purchase and installation for the trash compactor has been quoted by the manufacturer in the amount of $49,964. Additionally, county Public Works has projected costs and labor estimated not to exceed $7,494 for a total project cost of $57,458. The Correctional Facility budgeted $175,510.00 for unanticipated and miscellaneous repairs/maintenance of the jail structure and has a remaining $94,309 available as of Oct. 3, 2020. An appropriation transfer from budget unit 1100-243 Correctional Facility object code 2113 - Maintenance Structures is requested to establish a fixed asset for the trash compactor project. There is no additional impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board of Supervisors may choose not to approve the recommendation; however, this is not recommended as the trash compactor needs to be replaced for safety and environmental reasons.
