Discussion and possible action to approve the following budget amendment (line item transfer) within Water Utility funds:

	Acct. Number	Acct. Name	Adopted	Request	Current	End Bal.
From:	7200-7050-001-460032	Chemicals	$171,000	$38,000	$65,835	$27,835

Issue: Replacement and upgrade of existing motors for River Intake Submersible Pumps is recommended to provide for water delivery from River to Plant for treatment. Existing motors have been failing for two (2) years and with this upgrade we can provide for improved performance and consistency.

Solution: Due to improved operational controls and improved chemical usage we have been able to significantly reduce our chemical cost in the flocculation process. We would like to use this savings for FY2018 for the upgrade of our motors at the River Intake.

Result: Improved pumping consistency with the ability to obtain more competitive pricing for the repair of these new motors.
