Lindley, Parks, Recreation & Community Services Director BY: Roger O. Blais, Parks and Landscape Manager DATE: September 23, 2008 (CC Meeting of October 1, 2008) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2008/09 Budget to Purchase a Submersible Water Pump for Arroyo Vista Community Park DISCUSSION The Council is being asked to adopt the attached Resolution amending the FY 2008/09 Budget by allocating an additional $24,500 for replacement of one of the two submersible groundwater pumps at Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP). Hydraulic test results for Pump 1 indicate that pump efficiency is at 30%, which is far below the normal operating water flow requirements necessary to provide a sufficient water volume for appropriate irrigation levels. Efficiency levels decline as pumps age. Continued use of this pump will further degrade it to the point of failure, which is expected to happen within a few months. Pump 1 is responsible for the largest section of AVCP, from the entrance of the park eastward to and including the football field. Pump 2 is responsible for the section of the park east of the eastern parking lot. Pump 1 was last replaced in 1995, and has now surpassed its normal life span of approximately 10 years. Pump 2 is four years old and is currently operating at normal flow capacity and pump efficiency levels. In addition to replacing the outdated pump with one that uses current technology and runs significantly more efficiently, the City will see electrical cost savings. The current annual electrical cost for Pump 1 is approximately $10,500. The electrical costs to operate the pump are a result of the tier rate assigned by Southern California Edison (SCE), which is based on usage and the pump's efficiency ratings. With the proposed replacement pump, SCE will assign a new tier rate with a lower unit cost, which is projected to generate a net SACommunity Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2008\1 0-1-08(AVCP Well Pump budget amendment).doc e ,P�I:M Honorable City Council October 1, 2008 Page 2 annual savings to the City of approximately$4,500. Also, SCE will issue the City a one time $1,500 rebate for installation of the new pump. Based on the electrical cost savings and SCE rebate, the City's net cost of the new pump will be approximately $18,000. FISCAL IMPACT It is proposed that the purchase be funded from the Park Maintenance Fund (2400)which receives its revenues from the Park Assessment. Since Park Maintenance Fund expenditures exceed revenues from the Park Assessment, the General Fund must make up the difference. According to the adopted budget for FY 2008/09, it is anticipated that at the end of the fiscal year, approximately $1,258,000 will need to be transferred from the General Fund to the Park Maintenance Fund. If the City Council approves the recommended action, the transfer amount will increase by $24,500.
