CITY ATTORFT Annual Budget REVISED GAS DIVISION BUDGET 1962 -63 The personnel detail pages for all three activities have previously been approved by the City Council for the amounts indicated under Salaries, code 104. The Gas Division has estimated that a minimum monthly charge per active meter of 70e will be required to reimburse the City's direct expenditures for operation and maintenance of Municipal Gas's facilities. This charge should be reviewed prior to the adoption of the 1963 -64 operating budget to ascer- tain if any modification is indicated. Of the $108,362 increase in the Main- tenance and Operation Budget, $84,770 will be a new appropriation based on unanticipated revenues derived from the monthly payments of Municipal Gas. The balance of $23,592 will be re- appropriated from the contingency reserve of the Gas Fund. Due to certain initial expenditures for equipping new crews, changing meter locations, and other physical modifications to the system it- self so that operation by the City can be simplified, it will be necessary to temporarily use a portion of the existing gas fund reserve to offset capi- tal outlay and some other initial costs. For the same period, 25C per active meter as of the first of each month has been determined to be a proper charge for the Utility Office operation. This charge should also be reviewed prior to the 1963 -64 Budget. The charge, approximately $30,275 for 7 months,will be a revenue of the Water Fund. The $33,710 increase in the Utility Office Budget will be provided by a supple- mental appropriation of $30,275 of unanticipated revenues mentioned above and the re- appropriation of $3,435 from the Water Fund Contingency Reserve which will be used to offset most of the capital outlay expenditures. The Construction Budget should be fully reimbursed by Municipal Gas. The estimated expenditures are based on 700 new connections with the average cost per new connection being somewhat higher than the average cost of the City's system since the developments to be served will be less dense than those served by the City's system. Individual projects in excess of 100 feet per existing customer will be submitted to the Board of Directors of the Corporation for specific approval before construction by the City. Added services (new cus- tomers) and extensions of less than 100 feet per existing customer will be constructed by the City for Municipal Gas without prior approval by the Board of Directors and will be submitted to Municipal Gas at the time of reimburse- ment. Capital outlay for the Gas Division provides 8 vehicles ($5,708), tele- metering equipment ($1,962), 2 tapping machines and related equipment and supplies ($10,800), and 13 radios ($5,200) for the 8 vehicles acquired from Houston Natural and 2 vehicles acquired from Southern Community Gas as part of the purchase price of that system. Capital outlay for the Utility Office includes 3 cars ($2,232), various items of office equipment related to the machine records for the expanded systems ($771), and 3 radios for the addi- tional vehicles ($1,200).
