MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Dave Ross, Police Chief
DATE: March 23, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-22 - Budget Transfer For Police Fuel
There has been an extreme rise in the price of fuel since the FY22 budget was prepared that was
not anticipated at that time.
A large percentage of the police budget line -item for Operating Supplies is devoted to the
purchase of fuel for police vehicles and additional funds will be required in the budget line -item
for the remainder of FY22. It is currently anticipated that $15,000 in additional funding for fuel will
provide adequate funding until the end of FY22.
An additional appropriation of funds is not necessary, as there are adequate funds available in
the Police budget that were intended for Salaries. Officer vacancies that occurred in FY22 left
additional funds available in that budget item.
This resolution would authorize the transfer of funds within the General Fund, Police Department.
Thank you for your consideration.
