Traffenstedt, Senior Planner 5� January 6, 1997 (CC Meeting of 1- 15 -97) SUBJECT: CONSIDER TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM FUND 220, CAPITAL OUTLAY, GIS SYSTEM, TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR NOISE ELEMENT; OPEN SPACE, CONSERVATION, AND RECREATION ELEMENT (OSCAR); AND TRAFFIC MODEL USAGE /TRAFFIC STUDY SERVICES (RESOLUTION NO. 97- ) BACKGROUND In March 1996, the City Council authorized the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Agreement with Mestre Greve for preparation of a Noise Element update for a cost not to exceed $5,000, and a Professional Services Agreement with the Planning Corporation for preparation of an OSCAR Element update for a cost not to exceed $10,000. Both Agreements were executed in April 1996; however, no funds were expended in Fiscal Year 1995 -1996. The 1996 -1997 Fiscal Year Budget, does not include the full allocation under Professional Services (220- 600 - 0000 - 000 -9199) for the Noise Element and OSCAR Element updates. This is an error, which requires correction. Only $1,000 is included for the Noise Element and only $5,000 is included f'or the OSCAR Element in the 1996 -1997 Budget. In addit=ion, the amount budgeted under Professional Services for Traffic Model Usage is $1,000, and the total costs to date are $1,550 for traffic model usage /traffic study services. The $1,550 amounr_ was spent to hire a private consultant to review the County's Moorpark Road Realignment Project Traffic Study. Staff proposes to increase the Noise Element allocation by k$4,000, the OSCAR Element allocation by $5,000, and the Traffic Model Usage DST c:U - m \staffipt \cc l - 1597.bud VoV.i h Fund 220 Transfer To: Honorable City Council January 6, 1997 Page 2 allocation by $1,550, through the transfer of a total of $10,550 from Captial Outlay funds for computer equipment (Line Item 220- 600- 0000 - 000 -9908) allocated for a Geographic Information System (GIS). The Community Development. Department GIS System budget is $25,000, with a matching Public Works allocation of $25,000. Staff's opinion is that the total allocation of $50,000 is insufficient to acquire, set -up, complete data entry, maintain, and operate a GIS System. While a GIS System has a great potential to be useful, it requires considerable set -up and maintenance to be effective. The City's GIS System needs and the potential for future commitment will be discussed, as part of the next fiscal year's budget, to determine the appropriate GIS System budget allocation for set up and continuing commitment, possibly linked with general Management Information System (MIS) needs. A draft resolution is attached, which authorizes the requested budget amendment. There would be no affect on the Fund 220 balance, since the transfer would be from one line item to another. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call Vote) Adopt Resolution No. 97- , approving a transfer of $4,000 for the Noise Element, $5,000 for the OSCAR Element, and $1,550 for Traffic Model Usage /Traffic Study services, for a total transfer of $10,550, from Capital Outlay, GIS System, to Professional Services.
