RE: Resolution to Approve the FY 2023 Fourth Quarter Budget
Amendments
MOTION
Upon recommendation of Nicolette Bateson, Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), approves the FY 2023 Fourth Quarter Budget Amendments as presented; and authorizes the Chief Executive Officer to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
The founding legal documents for the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) provide a structure for budget preparation, adoption, and amendment. The Board of Directors adopts a biennial budget by resolution which specifies appropriation amounts which may be modified through budget amendments. To the extent that there is a proposed amendment of the budget among the appropriation categories, the matter is brought to the Audit Committee for review and consideration of a recommendation to the Board of Directors for their consideration for approval.
JUSTIFICATION
Attached is the communication to the Audit Committee, dated June 26, 2023, which presents the proposed budget amendments for the fourth quarter of FY 2023. The reports included in this communication include the following.
1. Quarterly Budget Amendment Report for FY 2023 ending June 30, 2023.
2. Resolution Adopting the Budget Amendments through the Fourth Quarter of FY 2023.
BUDGET IMPACT
The overall budget, despite amendment, continues to be balanced.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
This matter was reviewed by the Audit Committee at its meeting on June 26, 2023. The Audit Committee unanimously recommended that the Board of Directors for the Great Lakes Water Authority adopt the proposed FY 2023 fourth quarter budget amendments.
SHARED SERVICES IMPACT
The impact of the fourth quarter FY 2023 budget amendments is an increase of $79,900 to OPS-008 - Systems Control Center, Detroit Only Pump Stations/CSO. This is due to increased maintenance activities at the Belle Isle, Fischer, and Woodmere pumping stations, and the Belle Isle Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO). In addition, there was a $10,000 decrease to the Treasury Bank Fees agreement to align the budget with the actual bank fees being charged for FY 2023.
