TITLE:
Title
Budget Amendment for Automated Traffic Enforcement System Program
LABEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Increase the revenue and expenditure budgets of the Red Light Camera Fund by $583,550 each and increase the Fleet Fund revenue and expenditure budgets by $50,0000 each, as documented in Council Budget Amendment No. 20P03
Body
DISCUSSION:
On August 15, 2023, Council adopted R2023-091 (1) authorizing the Police Chief, on behalf of the City of Napa, to execute a contract with Conduent State & Local Solutions, Inc. for an Automated Traffic Enforcement System (Vehicle Code Section 21455.5) in an amount not to exceed $4,172,260 for a term of five years; (2) amending the Budget Staffing Plan by adding one Full Time Limited Term Community Service Officer (CSO) II position for the Police Department; (3) authorizing the purchase of one fleet vehicle for use by the additional CSO and (4) determining that the actions authorized by this resolution are exempt from CEQA.
The required Budget Amendment action for the Automated Traffic Enforcement System program was not included at that time. The attached Council Budget Amendment adds both revenue and expenditure budget so that the department has appropriated budget to complete the actions approved by Council on R2023-091
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There are no immediate charges to the general fund. The Council Budget Amendment adds operating budget to the Red Light Camera Fund to hire a limited-term CSO, pay for the current fiscal year portion of the Conduent State & Local Solutions, Inc. contract, and cover operating costs for a new Fleet vehicle. It also transfers $50,000 from the Red Light Camera Fund to the Fleet Fund for the purchase of the new vehicle. The budgeted revenue amount of $583,550 assumes that the City will fully recover all operating costs associated with the program in the current year. If less than this amount is recovered, the department will either need to use available unassigned fund balance (currently approximately $500,000) or will have to request General Fund dollars to balance the fund.
CEQA:
The Police Chief has determined that the Recommended Action described in this Agenda Report is not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c).
