VISION ALIGNMENT:

PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION

On May 15, 2007 the Board authorized the acceptance of a $1,200,000 grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to replace various construction equipment and off-road vehicles, and authorized a Purchase Order with the Peterson Tractor Company Government Sales to acquire the equipment.

This ATR is needed to transfer $105,140 from Other Local Government Revenue in the Vehicles and Equipment (4760B) budget unit and $35,860 from Contingencies in the Roads (4520B) budget to Fixed Assets – Equipment in the Vehicles and Equipment (4760B) budget unit in order to complete the purchase of this piece of road equipment. The funding for this item was included in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 final budget adopted by the Board for these budget units.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This ATR transfers previously approved funding within the Vehicles and Equipment (4760B) budget unit. The source of funding for this piece of equipment will be 75% from the BAAQMD grant and 25% from the Road Fund. There will be no impact to the General Fund.
