BILL NO. 23-080Ord.No:          19482

Agenda Title:

23-080 2R An ordinance approving a budget amendment for an additional $300,000 to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget for Power & Light.
Recommendations:

Council approval is requested to amend the fiscal year 2023-2024 budget and appropriate $300,000 from the Power & Light fund balance.

Background:

Previous City Council action approved to initiate a process to evaluate all options relevant to the future ownership model of Independence Power & Light.  The process has begun by sending out Request for Qualifications (RFQ’s) for two studies to be performed – An IPL Cost-Benefit Analysis Study and an IPL Strategic Plan Study.  The requisitions for these two studies were entered and funds were encumbered in the 2022-2023 fiscal year budget.  During the close of the fiscal year these requisitions were deleted as they were not fully through the approval process.  These will need to be re-entered and processed for the new 2023-2024 fiscal year instead.



Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact to the City will reduce the fund balance in the Power & Light Fund by $300,000. Funds were originally budgeted for fiscal year 2022-2023, page 226 in account number 6110.5226, Administration - Professional Services.
