Title: Consideration and Possible Approval of a Recommendation to Solicit Bids for Temporary Employees to Assist with Maintaining City Infrastructure such as Streets and Parks and Approve a Plan to Make the Necessary Financial Adjustments to Correct Inter-Fund Maintenance Services Provided During Fiscal Years 2008 Through 2013.

Petitioner/Presenter: Neil C. Krutz, P.E., Deputy City Manager for Community Services and Jeff Cronk, CPA, Director of Financial Services/Same

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council allow staff to proceed with bidding for up to $200,000 of temporary employee services to supplement existing City staff. Staff also recommends that the City Council approve the necessary financial adjustments to correct inter-fund maintenance services provided during fiscal years 2008 through 2013.

Financial Impact: The fiscal impact is essentially two-fold. First, in fiscal year 2013 the impact to the General Fund will be up to $200,000 for the use of temporary staff to maintain City infrastructure. Second, is to correct fiscal inequities that occurred previous to today’s date within various Funds maintained by the City resulting from inter-fund services provided that were not properly recorded beginning in fiscal year 2008 through the first four months of fiscal year 2013. The cumulative result of these corrections would include a reduction of resources in the General Fund by $1,441,435; and in the Road Fund by $150,314. These reductions would be offset by increasing the resources in the Sewer Utility Enterprise Funds by $1,475,562; the Development Services Enterprise Fund by $69,053; and in the Equipment Internal Service Fund by $47,134.

Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
     A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.

Agenda Item Brief: This agenda item seeks approval in two parts. First, approval to bid for temporary labor services to supplement existing City staff in the maintenance of streets, parks and facilities. Approval of the request will allow for employees funded through the Sewer Utility Enterprise Funds to focus their efforts solely on appropriate work such as sanitary sewer, storm drain and effluent maintenance while maintaining existing resource levels for the maintenance of City streets, parks and facilities. The second part of the requested approval relates to correcting the fiscal inequities which arose from inter-fund services provided that were not properly recorded beginning in fiscal year 2008 through the first four months of fiscal year 2013.
