During the calendar year, staff provides detail on budget adjustments for Council approval. Attached for Council's consideration is an ordinance with first quarter budget amendments.

The following eight amendments are proposed:

• Wyatt Way Water Line. This item amends the CIP and increases the Wyatt Way Reconstruction Project budget by $150,000 to a total of $3,850,000 ($150,000 new funding from the Water Fund; $3,700,000 existing funding from grants and City General Fund). The additional funding will provide for a water main replacement project to replace and upsize approximately 500 lineal feet of 6-inch asbestos cement pipe with 8-inch ductile iron in Wyatt Way from Lovell to Nicholson Place.

• State Route 305/Olympic Drive Water Line. This item amends the CIP and increases the SR 305/Olympic Way project by $75,000 to a total of $175,000 for the Water Fund. The additional funding will provide for improved water service and upgraded fire flow in this area.

• Police Vehicle Replacement. This item amends the CIP and provides funding for an additional police vehicle in 2017. A police vehicle was severely damaged in an accident in which the driver of the other vehicle did not have insurance. 

• Re-decking Waterfront Park Bridge. This item provides appropriation authority for the re-decking and rail replacement of the Waterfront Park Pedestrian Bridge. Replacement of this bridge was budgeting in previous years, but was not completed due to the higher than expected costs. The 2017 repair will make major repairs to the bridge’s surface, railings, and lighting.

• Madrona Townhomes Sewer Agreement. This item transfers appropriation authority from the operating to the capital budget of the Sewer Fund and amends the CIP to add a new project budgeted at $135,000. The Madrona Townhomes subdivision will require improvements to the City sewer system from Madrona Lane through Henshaw Place to Madison Ave. The agreement will provide authority to construct the new sewer collection system and provide the basis for the sharing of costs.

• Housing Resources Bainbridge Property Management. This item provides appropriation authority and additional funding of $6,000 for property management services not anticipated during budget development. Housing Resources Bainbridge (HRB) will continue to provide services as they have done in the past.

• Public Art “Something New.” This item provides appropriation authority from the Public Art Subfund, as approved by Council on February 7. This funding supports conceptual development of a new public art program called "Something New," which would provide a rotating display of new public art in the Winslow area. This item increases spending by $500 in 2017.

• Janitorial Services Agreement for City Facilities. This agreement is for janitorial services for City-owned facilities. A 2017 budget amendment is required due to the proposed increase in frequency and scope of services at City facilities. The increase of $40,000 brings the total budgeted spending to $115,000.

• Fueling System Design/Upgrade. This item transfers appropriation authority related to the Fueling System Design/Upgrade from the General Fund to the Capital Construction Fund due to the nature of the project. Total budgeted spending does not change.

• Emergency AM Radio Station. This item transfers appropriation authority related to the Emergency AM Radio Station from the General Fund to the Capital Construction Fund due to the nature of the project. Total budgeted spending does not change.
