Council requested staff prepare a resolution to move funds from the General Fund to the Public Improvement Fund (PIF) to fund these projects. On March 2, 2015 Council approved Resolution 43, Series of 2015 transferring and appropriating $326,000 for the Recreation Center HVAC Replacement Project RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends City Council approve the attached transfer from the General Fund to the Public Improvement Fund for the Recreation Center HVAC as follows: SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS: GENERAL FUND: SOURCE OF FUNDS: Unassigned Fund Balance $35,516 USE Of FUNDS: Transfer Out to the Public Improvement Fund $35,516 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FUND: SOURCE OF FUNDS: Transfer In from the General Fund $35,516 USE Of FUNDS: Recreation Center HVAC Repair/Replacement $35,516 BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Council discussed and determined the Recreation Center HVAC project is critical and needed to be funded. The Recreation Center HVAC project will be started and completed prior to the summer of 2015. Due to the demands by the original selected bidder, City staff determined the project could not move • forward without violating provisions of the State Constitution. Staff attempted to rectify the situation with the original winning bidder but was not successful so staff contacted the second lowest bidder, American Mechanical Systems, but the cost of their bid was $35,516 (after Public Works reviewed the project requirements again) higher. Staff considered rebidding the project but it was determined the current HVAC system might fail during the summer season, effectively shutting down the Recreation Center. Also, staff believes the cost of a new bid could be even higher as construction costs are increasing an estimated one percent each month. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Unassigned Fund Balance in the General Fund will be reduced $35,516 but due to better than expected financial results in 2013 and 2014 the General Fund has enough reserves to fund these critical investments.
