CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2026-2814
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH: Keith Macedo, Chief Information Officer
FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment — Water Construction Materials Account
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a budget amendment in the amount of $800,000.00 to the Construction
Materials account within the Water & Sewer fund due to increased material costs and additional materials
needed to support ongoing water distribution maintenance and repair work in 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The Construction Materials account within the Water & Sewer fund is currently over budget in the amount of
$27,451.82. A budget amendment is needed to correct the over budgeted account, and to have enough funds
to cover the remainder of construction costs expected in 2026.
DISCUSSION:
Due to increased construction material costs from vendor price increases, the construction materials account
within the Water & Sewer fund has experienced higher expenditures in 2026 than what was budgeted. Higher
copper prices have resulted in higher costs for water service line replacements, among other price increases
for construction materials used in maintaining and repairing the City's water distribution system.
Staff requests a budget amendment in the amount of $800,000.00 to move funds into the construction
materials account to cover the overbudget and to have enough funds to cover the remainder of construction
costs expected in 2026.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
A budget amendment is attached to move funds from the Water System Rehabilitation account to the
Construction Materials account within the Water & Sewer fund.
