M TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
`FROM: Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Director
DATE: April 24, 2013
SUBJECT: Resolution 2013 -24 Authorizing a budget transfer within the
Buildings Division
Rick,
Please find attached Resolution 2013 -24 authorizing a budget transfer within the
Buildings Division.
James Merrow was hired as the Building Maintenance Lead this winter. He is a talented
maintenance technician and a licensed plumber. He performed a number of repairs on
boilers and related heating systems this winter that the City has historically
subcontracted.
The Repair & Maintenance account is intended to budget for contracted services, and
the Operating & Repair Supplies account is intended to budget for supplies utilized by
City employees. As a result of our Building Maintenance Division's shift to performing
work with our own forces, one account has excess funds and the other is nearly
depleted.
James has identified building heating system pumps and appurtenances throughout the
City that have long lead times and no spare in our inventory. I confirmed that the items
he wishes to stock will not become obsolete if we replace the associated boilers. This
budget transfer would allow us to purchase this critical backup equipment.
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 takes into account this shift in our approach to
building maintenance.
