Like the General Fund, the Water and Wastewater Fund’s proposed budget includes a 2.0% merit
compensation to be implemented on October 1 and a potential 2.0% market increase on April 1
depending on economic factors. In FY 2019-20, the city council approved a budget amendment to
transfer $200,000 in vacancy savings to a self-insurance fund as part of a long term goal to be self-
insured. When the budget amendment is removed, the FY 2020-21 adopted personnel budget increase
of 3.7% reflects the true impact of the compensation increase.

Operations and maintenance: FY 2020-21 Budget $1,306,899
% of Fund Expenditures 4.7%

Compared to $ Growth % Growth
FY 2019-20 Budget $(76,397) (5.5)%
FY 2019-20 Projection $(66,690) (4.9)%

Operations and maintenance budgets include expendable materials and operating supplies necessary to
conduct departmental activities. The budget is being decreased in various supplies and materials line-
items based upon historical spending and will have no impact to service levels.

Services and other: FY 2020-21 Budget $4,811,543
% of Fund Expenditures 17.4%

Compared to $ Growth % Growth
FY 2019-20 Budget $(180,936) (3.6)%
FY 2019-20 Projection $(222,671) (4.4)%

Services and other expenditures include expenditures for professional services, utilities, liability
insurance premiums and other general expenditures. FY 2019-20 included the third of three years of
funding of $215,084 to replace heavy equipment in future years. This drop off in funding accounts for a
significant portion of the decreases in expenditures in this category.

Wholesale Water Purchases: FY 2020-21 Budget $8,641,707
% of Fund Expenditures 31.3%

Compared to $ Growth % Growth
FY 2019-20 Budget $27,107 0.3%
FY 2019-20 Projection $80,868 0.9%

The City of Keller purchases water from the City of Fort Worth and the projected cost is based upon a
five-year rolling consumption average multiplied by any rate change by Fort Worth. The FY 2019-20 year-
end projections reflect a rainier year, which reduces consumption. The FY 2020-21 is based upon the
five-year average consumption multiplied by the adopted rate increase of 1.3% by Fort Worth.
