38. REQUEST FOR REVIEW OVER BASELINE Approve an exception to the FY 2019 Budgeting Guidelines and Priorities allowing the review of the following request over baseline totaling $2,617,045 for the General Fund and $517,250 for the Detention Fund. 1. $1,017,045 in General Fund(100) Operating (OPER) 2. $1,600,000 in General Fund(100) Non Recurring (NRNP) 3. $347,250 in Detention Fund (255) Operating (OPER) 4. $170,000 in Detention Fund (255) Non Recurring (NRNP) 1. The $1,017,045 increase to the General Fund operating vehicle replacement budget request is in response to the growing fleet of the County. The County has experienced significant growth in its fleet size over the last several years and many of the new additions are now ready to be replaced. Additionally, vehicle manufactures are increasing the safety features due to federal regulations, subsequently increasing the cost to the consumer. Standard items now include blue tooth, back up cameras and additional air bags. Lastly, many of the missions and goals of County departments have changed over the years, resulting in requiring different vehicle types in order to meet their mission and goals. 2. The $1,600,000 non-recurring General Fund request is for new large pieces of equipment needed by Waste Resources and Recycling to maintain the County’s closed landfills in accordance with Post-Closure Care requirements. One of the most important post closure care activity is to maintain the integrity of the final cover landfill cap system, including making repairs to the landfill cap and cover as necessary to correct the effects of settlement, erosion or other events and ensuring proper storm water drainage controls are engineered to prevent erosion or otherwise damaging the final cover. The equipment consists of one Dozer, two wheel loaders and on tractor/scraper. The current fleet is well past its useful life and life-to-date maintenance costs have exceeded the original purchase price. 3. The $347,250 increase to the Detention Fund operating vehicle replacement budget request is in response to the growing fleet of the County. The County has experienced significant growth in its fleet size over the last several years and many of the new additions are now ready to be replaced.
