Internal Service Funds

An upgrade was made to the methodology for coordination with the various utility organizations working within
the city leveraging scheduling capabilities to achieve alignment of work effort with the city capital project needs.

Participation with the Office of Business Diversity continues as a means to expand the purchasing base serving the
capital projects program.

FY2019 DISCUSSION

The FY2019 Adopted Budget includes an adjustment to the FY2018 AP and FTE counts. The counts decrease by 1
AP and 1.00 FTE due to the transfer of one position to Information Technologies Solutions incorrectly deducted in
FY2018. There is no financial impact to the fund.

The FY2019 Adopted Budget includes an increase of 12 APs and 12.00 FTEs from the 2018 Budget due to the
expansion of construction inspection resources in the Capital Projects Service Fund to support the workload
growth created by the volume and service level requirements of both developer and city projects.

The FY2019 Adopted Budget includes the shifting of transfer in revenue accounts to the charge for service revenue
accounts to correctly reflect where the actual revenues are collected in the Fund.

The FY2019 Adopted Budget includes an increase in the transfer out to capital in order to fund pay-go capital
outlay projects. The outlay expenses include vehicles and technology equipment.

There are no significant changes in service level represented in the FY2019 Adopted Budget.

HORIZON ISSUES

With the pace of economic development occurring in the region at this time we are seeing constraints in our
supply chain for construction related materials and activities driving price increases for both labor and materials.
Implementation of a new Capital Delivery Management system will begin in FY2019 providing greater visibility
into project performance and partner collaboration across our portfolio of capital projects.
