The motion covered multiple departmental requests: a turbocharger actuator mounting kit for a fire truck ($6,758.88 plus $500 shipping and handling); civic clerk software renewal ($23,746.51); sportsman software renewals for cultural and leisure services ($3,705 and $5,514.45); 16 concourse players for the convention center ($79,152 plus shipping); MIS network and server maintenance and Aruba networking equipment (various amounts); two rotary actuators for sewer inlet valves ($21,446.45 plus $435 shipping) and two raw submersible wastewater pumps for the east side listed at $607,935.

During discussion, Councilman Boesen said he believed the turbocharger for engine 301 might still be under a five-year unlimited-miles warranty and asked staff not to purchase the part until warranty coverage was checked. Sheila Stefan, public works coordinator, responded, \"I will check with the fleet maintenance director. If it is indeed under warranty, We'll we'll run it through as that. If we find out it's not, we can always add it to a future agenda. So I will double check for you and let you know.\"

Wastewater collections director Jesse Gearty described the pump situation: the plant is a five-pump system currently operating on three pumps and is \"pumping about 47,000,000\" with three pumps; a fourth would allow \"up to 67,000,000,\" he said. Gearty added that the pumps have a 22-week lead time and that one pump already ordered is expected late August or early September. Gearty said the currently installed pumps are older units that have undergone rebuilds.

The committee voted to approve the preauthorizations. A separate budget amendment later allocated $900,000 for eastern raw wastewater pump purchases.

The approvals were procedural preauthorizations submitted by various departments; no specific statutes or procurement codes were cited in the discussion.","The finance committee approved a package of preauthorizations for equipment and software, including a roughly $607,935 purchase for two raw submersible wastewater pumps; committee members asked staff to verify a turbocharger warranty claim and requested a breakdown of the pump cost and lead times.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6007065,"Finance committee approves $27.5 million in TIF carryover, $900,000 for sewer pumps and SRO funding",16,554675,570900,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822529-7a49bd8cf9b2153283308997f52243dd&start=554&end=570","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822529-7a49bd8cf9b2153283308997f52243dd/thumbnail_554675.jpg","/articles/6007065/Waterloo/Black-Hawk-County/Iowa/Finance-committee-approves-275-million-in-TIF-carryover-900000-for-sewer-pumps-and-SRO-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6007065-444c0fd8c851e89b52b8994a456141aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1770492372&Signature=Uig2YSGFCq7Xt13bWO0Pbv1zorJbmu64tK070NXB1pABYK7uIWSF8GnMGEq0sutMSRoNTwwhhgXgZUW6hZCEhphsZRUXCtQ9rFfT~D41YXcZYJEYDwkdh~2rey3fPsVerqM39wXr12VBbmvv2AAorrYpPNCet4dBBcc4OucKOC7I6xVzthnmkCYq19YZKrP6oBE7VelyI5NTeCoFdGPZKK9qxlEg77MmssipgcTtjnQ4fmINDWPAn0pbBhaedZr-evAJFM7-te~3VMnSFFPL-FnnTg9NriUKPYipNGZVEPSOi1sinWxLswDYoij17G2aNlklsvJWgdJw-HTMcCgD7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waterloo Finance Committee on Aug. 4 approved multiple budget amendments, including a $27,530,600 carryover for tax-increment financing (TIF) projects not completed by the end of fiscal 2025 and a $900,000 amendment to buy eastern raw wastewater pumps.

The committee also approved a $5,000 increase in cash-on-hand revenue and matching expense lines for Veteran Memorial Hall and accepted a project budget of $460,755 for school resource officers, funded in part by the Waterloo Community School District.

The TIF amendment was described by finance staff as covering projects that were not completed by the end of the fiscal year. The motion to approve the suite of budget amendments passed without recorded opposition.

Discussion focused on timing and need for the wastewater pumps. Committee members had earlier discussed the sewer pump purchase during a separate preauthorization vote and requested details on lead times and system capacity. Public works and wastewater staff told the committee the plant is designed as a five-pump system but currently is operating on three pumps; with three pumps the plant can move “about 47,000,000,” and a fourth pump would allow flows up to “67,000,000,” according to Jesse Gearty, collections director for the wastewater treatment plant. Gearty said the pumps have a roughly 22-week lead time and that one pump is already on order and expected to arrive late August or early September.

Finance staff also told the committee the $900,000 amendment would fund the eastern raw wastewater pump purchases and that the city previously approved a budget amendment related to this equipment.

No statutes, ordinances or other legal authorities were cited during the budget-amendment discussion. The motions were procedural budget approvals submitted by the finance department.

The committee approved all amendments in a single vote; the chair called for the aye votes and declared the motion passed.","The finance committee approved budget amendments to carry over $27,530,600 in unfinished TIF project funds, allocate $900,000 for eastern raw wastewater pumps, increase a $5,000 Veteran Memorial Hall appropriation and adopt a $460,755 school resource officer project budget partly funded by the Waterloo Community School District.","actionData","errors"]
