BACKGROUND:
Natural gas is essential to the operation of numerous City-owned facilities. It provides a reliable and cost-effective energy source for heating buildings and water, and for supporting the operation of equipment and building systems necessary for daily municipal services.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
On October 1, 2025, Munis Contract No. FAC/260073 was established with a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 to track expenditures for natural gas services during Fiscal Year 2025-26. Since the contract's inception, expenditures have totaled $49,963.61, leaving a remaining balance of $36.39. Staff estimates that an additional $25,000 is needed to ensure uninterrupted service to City-owned facilities (due to additional generators added to the fleet and higher natural gas usage than expected). This request will increase the not-to-exceed amount to $75,000.
Staff recommends approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are allocated in the respective departments’ utility services accounts.
