TBA2025-01-01 Technical Budget Adjustment - 2025 Operating Budget Move of Rail Parts Supervisors and Clerks from Supply Chain to Rail Departments
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Other Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve TBA2025-01-01 to authorize move of 19 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Rail Parts Supervisors and Clerks from the Supply Chain department to Light Rail and Commuter Rail departments with a total budget moved of $1,900,014.
BACKGROUND:
Board Policy 2.3 Budget allows the Board of Trustees to amend or supplement the Authority’s budget at any time after its adoption. The Board may do this through a Technical Budget Adjustment (TBA) when the request does not increase budget authority, or through a Budget Amendment, after consultation with the Local Advisory Council, when an increase in the annual appropriation authority is requested.
Board Policy 2.3 Budget (section C.2) also requires that administrative adjustments which seek to reallocate funds across Mode, Executive and Chief Offices, or between capital projects be brought to the Board for a Technical Budget Adjustment consideration.
DISCUSSION:
This proposed TBA will transfer 2 FTE Parts Supervisors and 17 FTE Parts Clerks from the Supply Chain department to Light Rail (12 FTE Parts Clerks, 1 FTE Supervisor) and Commuter Rail (5 FTE Parts Clerks, 1 FTE Supervisor) departments.
This move is recommended to enhance the coordination of the parts management process within UTA operations. Bus operations have already embedded the parts supervisor and parts clerks within their maintenance operations.
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue under the current organizational structure with no transfer of budget funds or FTE’s.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed TBA will be funded by transfer of $1,900,014 in budget between the Supply Chain, Light Rail and Commuter Rail departments in the approved 2025 Operating Budget.
The changes requested will be funded by the existing 2025 Operating Budget and will not result in an increase in budget authority or impact UTA’s Fund Balance.
