BACKGROUND: On April 16, 2024, the City Council approved Budget Resolutions 2024-130 and 2024-132 amending the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget to carry forward Fiscal Year 2022-23 grant funds. While preparing for the interim audit, staff found that $383,895 in SunTran operating revenue was missing from the aforementioned carry forward budget resolutions.
The City receives program income from the sale of bus tickets, bus, and advertising on SunTran buses throughout the fiscal year. This income is used to offset operating expenses.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The Fiscal Year 2023-24 program income has not been appropriated and is needed for operating expenses. Likewise, the Fiscal Year 2022-23 grant revenue is needed for operating expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funding will be budgeted in account 494-050-451-544-54-34010 and used to pay for SunTran's fixed-route operating costs.
