Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Billing changes in the El Macero County Service Area (CSA) funds for fiscal year 2015-16 require the requested amendment to appropriations listed on the budget for this service areas.
Regarding water and sewer usage, El Macero CSA typically receives billings for the prior year usage. In fiscal year 2015-16 the City of Davis updated its billing for water thereby billing earlier than before. In previous years, the City would bill almost a year in arrears and therefore appropriations were based on a previous year's usage. In addition, following the terms of a new settlement agreement for sewer, the City also bills the El Macero CSA for current year sewer use prior to the close of fiscal year. These changes do not represent a change in rates but rather a change in timing for when billing occurs, which in turn requires staff to arrange for appropriations in the same fiscal year as the billing. At this time the CSA must appropriate for the current year's billings in this fiscal year and therefore the budget resolution has been prepared for approval for an additional $130,000 in appropriations. There are sufficient funds in the El Macero CSA to cover this appropriation. |

Explanation (Expenditure and/or Revenue) |
Further explanation as needed: |
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund. Services provided to the County Service Area are paid for through revenues collected on the property tax bills of property owners in the CSA. These actions will increase the appropriations in the County Service Area funds. The appropriations will be offset by combinations of fund balance available, general reserves, restricted funds, and additional assessment revenue in FY 2016-17.
