BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Annually the Council approves operating transfers to fund the bond payments with various funding sources. Northland Securities and staff review the funding sources each spring at the end of the financial audit to determine the level of funding needed to pay the annual debt payments. The transfers requested include funding sources between bond funds and utility revenues. The bond payments will be made in mid-November. In addition to debt funding, the annual budget includes a couple reimbursements between a couple enterprise funds and the general fund. The transfers cover administrative and maintenance time that benefits the enterprise funds. The time is originally expensed out of the general fund. A transfer is requested to fund the employee retirement reserve account for the 2014 contribution. The fund was established in 2014 to prepare for upcoming retirements. The transfer is funded by the unused expense budget for employee benefits. The transfer is planned to be annually going forward and has been discussed during budget workshops. The residual transfers are transfers to close out the bonds paid in full in November. The residual funds are placed in the debt service reserve fund to be used in any means the Council sees fit. The amounts are rounded. The actual residual amounts will be known in mid-November. The final transfer is to repay the general fund for the borrowed cash to begin operating the street light utility fund. The cash was needed to cover the last two months of revenue not received until 2014. The street light utility has built up enough cash balance to end 2014 with a positive cash balance after repaying the general fund. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: $1,050,319.03 between funds ATTACHMENTS: Request for Council Action - Transfers REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the 2014 transfers as requested.
