Financial Impact and Cost/Benefit Considerations: $12.2M in additional operating expenses and $7.0M in additional capital expenditures
Discussion
The Budget Policy requires amendments for certain levels of variances. The additional $12.2 Million in operating expense resulted from Winter Storm Mara and compensation study adjustments, offset by savings in property taxes and staff expenses.
Additionally, capital spend in category 600 (Distribution - Miscellaneous Equipment) requires a budget amendment of $7.0 Million due to additional costs related to Winter Storm Mara.
