MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Ct Council
FROM: James Rabe, Director of Public Works
DATE: January 18, 2018
RE: Approve Amendment to 2018 Operating Budget — Lead Service Line Replacement Program ($437,948.56)
BACKGROUND
On November 28, 2017, the Common Council adopted the 2018 Operating Budget. This annual operating budget provides
the necessary funding for departments' daily operational costs and provides the legal authority for the City to enter into
contracts and obligate funds.
The City received a $500,000 principal forgiveness loan from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources through the
Safe Drinking Water Loan (SDWL) program in order to facilitate the start of removing private -side lead water service lines.
The City anticipates receiving another $500,000 from the SDWL program in 2018. Per the Financial Assistance Agreement
with the State of Wisconsin, the City has three (3) years to spend the SWDL program funds.
ANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works is managing the private -side Lead Service Line Replacement program. The Department
maintains a list of prequalified plumbers and utility contractors for residents to contract directly with to get their lead
services replaced. The residents then submit a reimbursement request to Public Works, in accordance with the Lead Service
Line Replacement Policy. To date, $62,051.44 of the $500,000 of the 2017 Principal Forgiveness Loan has been spent. This
Operating Budget amendment would authorize Public Works to spend money equivalent to the remaining 2017 SDWL
Principal Forgiveness Loan.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the resolution would result in no net fiscal impact to the City of Oshkosh, as the costs are reimbursed through
the SDWL program. This program funding is managed through a separate fund within the City budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
