COUNCIL BILL __________________
title
AN ORDINANCE relating to the City Light Department (“City Light”); amending Ordinance 125493, which amended the 2018 Budget (Ordinance 125475), including the 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP); changing appropriations within City Light’s Light Fund; revising project allocations for certain capital projects in the CIP; and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts.
body
WHEREAS, the 2018 Budget and 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) were adopted via Ordinance 125475 and amended by Ordinance 125493; and
WHEREAS, due to unanticipated changes in costs, the Advanced Metering Infrastructure capital project requires $17.4 million in additional funds above the current capital budget of $84.1 million immediately in order to complete the rollout of new meters by the end of 2018; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the needed funds may be transferred to the Advanced Metering Infrastructure project from other projects and budget items within the Light Fund, thereby avoiding the need to increase the overall size of the 2018-2023 CIP; and
WHEREAS, $15.6 million in budget allocation must be transferred from budget summary levels (BSLs) other than the one containing the Advanced Metering project, thereby requiring legislation; NOW, THEREFORE,
