CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: June 21, 2021
Subject: Request Public Hearing to Receive and Appropriate Funding for
the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
Background:
Since .January 2020, the United States and the rest of the world has responded
to the COVID -19 pandemic. Governments have strategized to meet various
community needs including health as well as economic impacts. Costs borne by
government entities have often required reductions in services and labor
reductions.
On March 1 1 , 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law
by President Joe Biden establishing the Fiscal Recovery Funds which are
intended to provide governments support in their response to the impacts of
COVID-19. These Fiscal Recovery Funds build on the support previously
provided through the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) of which the City received
$17,299,688.
The City of Roanoke will be awarded $64,576,671 through the American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA). Half of the allocation, $32,288,335.50, has been received in
May FY 2020 -2021 and the remaining half is expected to be received in May of
FY 2021 -2022.
Recommendations for use of the ARPA funding are currently being formulated
and are expected to be brought before City Council in September 2021. The
ARPA funding eligible use categories include:
- Support public health expenditures
- Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health
emergency
- Replace lost public sector revenue
- Provide premium pay for essential workers
- Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure
A public hearing is requested to allow for comment and, following the receipt of
public comment, City Council action is required for the acceptance and
appropriation of the ARPA funding. City Council will also be asked to
appropriate allowable lost public sector revenue in FY 2021.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the scheduling and advertising a special meeting and public hearing
on dune 30, 2021, at 11:30 am, or at such time thereafter as the matter may be
reached.

3. Presentation of Audit Results for the June 30, 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Reports:
Mr. Cobb recognized Mr. Aldridge for comments. Mr. Aldridge explained that his firm serves as the
City's external auditors and is responsible for opining on the City's annual financial report. He noted
that the draft documents provided to the Committee were finalized with only minor changes. The City
received an unmodified opinion on its Fiscal Year 2020 [FY20] Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
[Annual Report].
Mr. Aldridge explained that external auditors are required to evaluate the number and dollar value of
adjustments identified through their audit work. If material in nature or amount, individually or in
combination, auditors must discuss them with those charged with governance. Mr. Aldridge noted that
the City had a material weakness in its processes for preparing year -end financial statements. The City
also had two significant deficiencies, less severe than a material weakness, which had to be reported:
- Inadequate reviews and incompatible system access rights in the accounting department at the
Berglund Center.
- City cash accounts not reconciled in a timely manner and inadequate supporting documentation.
These two issues were not elevated to material weaknesses as there were compensating controls in
place.
As part of the audit, Brown Edwards was required to look at compliance with specified laws and
regulations. Related to federal programs, approximately $25 million in federal funding was expended
by the City. Brown Edwards was required to review at least 40% of these expenditures, including
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security [CARES] Act funding.
There was one small expenditure charged to CARES that did not qualify. Auditors are required to
report unallowable expenditures regardless of amount. This finding was characterized as an "other
matter," meaning that it was neither a material weakness nor a significant deficiency.
There was also a finding related to Commonwealth of Virginia regulations. The Commonwealth
requires that elected, and certain appointed, officials file annual financial disclosure statements.
Approximately 73 statements were identified for review; nine (9) were not filed timely and four (4) were
not filed at all. Mr. Bestpitch asked if the auditors feel like the issue with disclosure statements has
been corrected. Mr. Aldridge responded that he has not talked to the City Clerk directly, but hopes it
has been addressed. Ms. White -Boyd asked with what departments the late and missing statements
were associated. Mr. Aldridge replied that, in addition to City Council, some members of City
management and representatives appointed to small boards and commissions are also required to
disclose their financial information. These areas are usually where issues are found. He will provide
Mr. Harmon with additional, more specific information on the finding. Mr. Cowell added that the forms
are coordinated by the City Clerk's Office. Her staff distribute reminders and collect the documents.
Ms. White -Boyd replied that this was the information she needed. Mr. Cowell reminded Committee
March 3, 2021
Page 3 of 9
Members that it is incumbent upon management and board representatives to turn in the forms. Mr.
Cobb identified a two -step follow up process, including enlisting the Clerk's Office to identify where the
obstructions are and, secondly, reminding leaders how critical completion of this form is. Mr. Aldridge
agreed and reminded management that the statements are already due for the coming year. Mr. Cobb
added that this issue will be followed up on immediately.
Mr. Aldridge directed committee members' attention to Brown Edwards' Draft Required Communication
document, which includes several standard sections. He noted one change was made from the draft to
final document. Language related to delays in audit completion was moved from the "Disagreements
with Management" section to "Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit." There were numerous
changes in balances during the audit that proved challenging. He reviewed the list of Corrected
Misstatements and explained that these were issues identified by Brown Edwards that should have
been caught by City staff. Due to the large dollar amounts involved, the resulting finding was classified
as a material weakness. Some of the issues were found at the report level and some at the trial
balance level. A significant number of audit adjustments had to be made in order for final statements to
be in accordance with GAAP. Management agreed with the proposed adjustments and all were
booked. Mr. Aldridge then reviewed the Uncorrected Misstatements, noting these were immaterial in
amount and were not required to be booked.
Also related to required communications, Mr. Aldridge reviewed the Comments on Internal Control
document with the Committee. He noted that this document includes management's plans to address
findings. He articulated to the Committee that it would behoove the Department of Finance to research
available training to provide staff with a better understanding of governmental accounting. The
Government Finance Officers Association [GFOA] offers good classes and Brown Edwards would be
willing to provide training as well.
Mr. Aldridge reviewed the remaining internal control comments including additional, more specific
information on the Civic Center's segregation of duties issues. There was also a concern noted with
unrecorded real property whereby purchases and sales of property were not booked. The auditors
often find local governments do a good job adding acquired properties, but not as good a job removing
property when it is sold. He recommended that the accounting team spend some time reviewing the
capital asset listing, particularly the larger assets on the books. It is important to make sure the list is
accurate, even if assets are fully depreciated. Finally, he reviewed the status of prior year internal
control comments, noting that the majority had been satisfactorily addressed. The final pages of the
document provide information on upcoming accounting and financial reporting requirements.
Mr. Cobb asked for questions or comments and stated that it would be good to hear managements'
responses and learn more about the strategies identified to address noted issues. Ms. White -Boyd
commented that she has reviewed Brown Edwards' documents and would also like to hear from
management. Mr. Bestpitch added that it seems pretty clear where the City has made progress and
where there is still work left to do. Mr. Cobb asked Ms. Bostic and Ms. Talley for their input. Ms. Bostic
reported that the past year has been turbulent with turnover in four out of nine positions. The
department has a lot of work to do, but is willing to make the necessary changes. They are already
working on staff GFOA training and are looking forward to any opportunities Brown Edward has to offer.
March 3, 2021 Page 4 of 9
They are also planning to document specified procedures and she will make sure those are followed
going forward. She thanked Municipal Auditing staff for their hard work and guidance throughout the
audit and financial statement preparation process. Mr. Cobb expressed his appreciation to Department
of Finance staff and expressed that 2020 was a challenging year in every way. Ms. Merchant also
thanked the collective Finance staff and reiterated that management will continue to work with the
external auditors to address issues. She added that the education support to staff will be evident going
into the Fiscal Year 2021 [FY21] year -end processes. Mr. Cowell reminded Committee Members that
the separate memo he provided directly to them was a supplement to the audit responses. The intent
was to put into writing how management will proceed in addressing the issues and highlight plans for
areas that need improvement.
Related to the audit adjustment finding, Mr. Cobb asked what is in place to monitor work differently this
year as opposed to last year, knowing what we know now. Ms. Talley responded that staff worked from
home the majority of last year. Now that all positions are filled, they are creating a monthly schedule of
tasks and have caught up areas that were behind. Additionally, they are focusing more on report
review and conducting weekly staff meetings. Deadlines for completing FY21 tasks have been set. Mr.
Cobb asked if management is taking into account the additional training and how staff can best support
each other in applying this new knowledge. Ms. Talley reiterated that GFOA training has started and
Finance is working on scheduling time with Brown Edwards for guidance on documentation. This will
improve work quality.
Mr. Cobb asked if reconciliations have a heightened priority now. Ms. Talley responded that there was
turnover in positions before the pandemic and new accountants were trying to learn while working from
home. Through assistance from the previous cash accountant, cash reconciliations are now in good
shape. Ms. Bostic added that staff will be cross - training, which will help keep these timely going
forward. Mr. Cobb appreciated the initiative.
Mr. Aldridge communicated to the Committee that his firm has assisted other clients who have been in
similar circumstances. His first recommendation for FY21 was that Brown Edwards work with the
Department of Finance to establish a working timeline with firm deadlines. The Committee would then
receive regular updates on how well milestones are met along the way. That would help everybody
and assist in ensuring work is correct when it is passed to the auditors. Additionally, until new staff get
acclimated and additional training is provided to the entire team, it may make more sense to have
Brown Edwards prepare the Annual Report. The firm could produce the document and still remain
independent. It would still be up to Department of Finance staff to make sure the underlying number
are good. As City staff become better able to manage the work, the responsibility for preparing
identified sections of the report could be returned to City staff. For FY20, there were nine version of the
Annual Report before the opinion was issued and this extensive back and forth between staff and
auditors took a lot of time and resources and created a lot of angst on both sides. Hiring Brown
Edwards to prepare the document would eliminate this issue, as the auditors would create one version
which City management would review and approve. Ms. White -Boyd responded that this was an
excellent idea and would provide a reasonable option until staff is able to complete the report timely
and with the least number of errors. Eight revisions is a lot and even if a fee is involved, it would be
easier on staff. Mr. Cowell added that he talked with Mr. Aldridge yesterday and this option is included
March 3, 2021 Page 5 of 9
in his memo in the last bullet point. For right now, management is holding the option open and he will
be talking more with both staff and Brown Edwards and will make a determination on how to move
forward. Mr. Bestpitch agreed that it is a good option, but added that it is ultimately management's
decision whether staff has the capability to do the work. If that is the best way to proceed, he agreed it
would be prudent to have the auditors prepare the report and added that no one wants to get to this
point next year and be having the same conversation. Mr. Cobb liked the idea of progress updates and
felt they would be helpful as far as keeping the Committee informed and would also provide a way to
support staff. Ms. Bostic and Ms. Talley were amenable.
Mr. Harmon stated that it is time to start planning the FY21 external audit and the engagement letter is
expected in early April. This is the third year of a five -year contract with Brown Edwards. Mr. Aldridge
will present the upcoming year's audit plan at the June committee meeting and Mr. Harmon would like
to have some audit milestones set by then. While the Audit Committee only meets quarterly, he will
provide monthly updates. The full FY21 results will be presented in December. Mr. Cowell reminded
everyone that updates will come from the Brown Edwards team, not from Department of Finance staff.
Mr. Harmon explained that the external audit budget was prepared last year and there will have to be
discussions around additional Brown Edwards billings in light of the supplementary work undertaken by
their staff. There will be added audit expense this year.
Mr. Cobb asked how often the capital asset list is evaluated. Ms. Talley responded that an inventory is
done annually. Finance staff also monitor accounts, transactions and construction -in- progress
quarterly. The goal is to do this more frequently.
Mr. Cobb thanked everyone and asked if there were additional questions. Mr. Bestpitch added that he
appreciates the efforts and suggestions for moving forward. Hearing no further questions or discussion,
the reports were received and filed.
4. Fire /Emergency Medical Services [EMS] Audit Follow -Up:
This is follow -up to a Fire EMS audit completed in June 2019. The original audit looked at training
credentials, station staffing and patient care reports related to Fire EMS calls. It resulted in several
findings for which management implemented corrective action plans.
During the original audit, the CrewSense resource management system had not yet been implemented.
Staff scheduling at each station was maintained on spreadsheets at that time. The introduction of
CrewSense in March 2020 was a big step forward. It consolidates information across all stations and
provides an hour -by -hour picture of staffing. The City's 11 fire stations are staffed 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. Mr. Harmon referred to the illustration on page 9 of the report and explained the data as it
relates to peak -time and non -peak time scheduling. There is a margin of 17 positions above the
required minimum for fully staffing all stations. The follow -up looked at how the margin was managed
to limit overtime while ensuring minimum staffing was maintained.
March 3, 2021 Page 6 of 9
Firefighters regularly work nine (9) days in a 27 -day work cycle. If they train on an off day, they may be
given equivalent time off during a regularly scheduled day so that overtime is not accrued. Any hours
worked over 216 for the cycle are paid as overtime. The audit noted issues with documenting and
tracking work during off duty hours, which management has already begun addressing.
Fire EMS records patient care data in the ImageTrend data management system. The original audit
examined system reports and found that, while Fire reports were in pretty good shape, EMS patient
care reports had not all been generated in the system. It was a low percentage of accounts, but it's
always prudent to make sure 100 percent of patient care information is documented in the system.
Follow -up review found that this was greatly improved with only one report missing over a two -year
period. This was considered addressed with no further follow -up needed.
The department's continuous improvement program involves staff reviewing and critiquing patient care
reports. The goal has been to inspect 100% of reports. The original audit found approximately 64%
had been reviewed. This percentage fell to only 36% in the latest period audited. Auditing worked with
management to research the issues in more detail, and to facilitate a meeting to discuss solutions.
Management is now considering focusing reviews on more complex patient care reports instead of
reviewing all case documents. There will be additional audit follow -up in this area next year.
Mr. Cobb asked for questions or discussion. Ms. White -Boyd expressed her appreciation to staff
involved and added that everyone seems to be working hard and the department has good plans in
place. Hearing nothing further, the report was received and filed.
5. PCI Project Overview:
Mr. Harmon explained that the PCI project is only one piece of a larger City vision, which took shape in
the early 2000's. As such, he felt it would be good to revisit the entire timeline with the Committee and
referred members to the project overview, as follows:
• Pages 1 through 3 — This high -level timeline provides an overview of the Financial Applications
Integration Team (FAIT) project which began in 2001. These slides only reflect activity and
information systems involving departments located on the Municipal Building's second floor, which
included the Treasurer's Office, Commissioner of the Revenue's Office, Real Estate Valuation and
Office of Billings and Collections (which was part of the Department of Finance). During the past
two decades, the City's retirement system has also been replaced as part of FAIT, along with the
payroll and budget systems.
The FAIT Team was assembled in 2002 and was comprised of various City stakeholders. At that
time, the majority of the City's information systems were housed on a mainframe computer and new
technology was moving to servers and relational database software. Management wanted to
explore potential options for migrating off the mainframe, including available enterprise -wide
solutions. In 2003, Virtual IT was hired to review tax - related processes and information systems.
Two Municipal Auditing staff were assigned full -time to assist with these assessments.
March 3, 2021
Page 7 of 9
In 2004, after completing the request for proposal process for an accounting system, the decision
was made to stay with the Advantage financial system. This was viewed as the core system into
which other financial systems would feed. After a failed go -live attempt in 2005, the upgraded
version went live in 2006.
In 2007, the City signed a contract with Manatron to provide a tax and treasury system. The City
already had Manatron's mass appraisal system (ProVal). Virginia Beach was already implementing
Manatron and other localities were considering them. The first phase of implementation was
cashiering and real estate tax. The implementation took almost three years and required accepting
functionality that did not meet specifications. In 2011, the contract to install the remaining tax
systems was cancelled.
In 2012, Virtual IT reevaluated tax and treasury processes and information systems. They found
minimal progress had been made toward integrating processes and systems. For example, new
restaurants still had to file separate applications with the Commissioner's Office and the Office of
Billings and Collections when applying for a business license.
The City's Department of Technology (DoT) then proposed moving the legacy tax systems from the
mainframe to servers using a tool that converted COBOL to a modern programming language. This
mainframe modernization project was completed in 2015. DoT had hoped this conversion would
allow their programmers to improve system functionality over time, but found improvements would
require extensive redesign of the original programming.
In 2013, responsibility for collecting delinquent taxes transferred from the Office of Billings and
Collections to the Treasurer's Office. In 2017, the Office of Billings and Collections was dissolved
and its responsibilities for miscellaneous accounts receivable and trust taxes were transferred to the
Offices of the Treasurer and Commissioner.
In 2018, the City signed a contract with PCI using cooperative procurement provisions other Virginia
localities included in their PCI contracts. PCI worked on documenting the City's tax and treasury
processes that summer and installed its base system in 2019.
• Page 4 — This page shows the original project timeline for an all -in implementation including real
estate, personal property, business license, trust taxes, delinquent collections and miscellaneous
accounts receivables. The original target for go -live was October 13, 2020. Legacy data proved
challenging to clean up and convert, and the base system came with substantially less standard
configuration than expected. The team decided to delay implementing the miscellaneous accounts
receivables module in the hopes of making the go -live target. Progress was still not sufficient and
the target date has now been moved to July 6, 2021. Mr. Cobb asked if miscellaneous billings
occur throughout the year, which Mr. Harmon confirmed that they do. Mr. Harmon explained that
departments throughout the city enter charges for services into the miscellaneous receivables
system. The Treasurer's Office mails the bills, processes the payments, and takes actions to
collect past due accounts. Mr. Cobb asked about the Department of Finance's involvement with
miscellaneous accounts receivable. Ms. Talley responded that they perform reconciliations, work
March 3, 2021 Page 8 of 9
with the Treasurer's Office and assist departments, as needed.
• Page 5 — Budgeted project hours provides a sense of effort required to implement the system,
which encompasses thousands of hours of City staff time.
• Page 6 — The original project budget reflects expenditures on direct project cost, not including staff
time and effort.
• Page 7 — This slide highlights duties of second floor offices. Real Estate Valuation performs real
estate appraisals and their information then feeds into the billing system. The Commissioner of the
Revenue's Office handles applying real estate modifiers, including elderly and disabled relief.
• Page 8 — The PCI product includes two systems, the Revenue Billing System [RBS] and the
Revenue Collection System [RCS]. These overlap and also integrate with the Real Estate
Inventory module of Aumentum. In turn, Aumentum receives information from ProVal, the City's
real estate appraisal system, and both the single Aumentum module and ProVal will be retained.
• Page 9 — The new system will employ approximately 30 interfaces. This slide provides a high -level
grouping of to where it will be connecting. An example of a State system is the Department of
Motor Vehicles system and an internal system which will need to connect is the TRAKiT permitting
system. TACS, the City's third -party collection agency, represents an outside party that maintains a
system with which PCI will integrate.
• Page 10 — The new system will integrate seven previously separated systems. It will improve
business license filing and accuracy and the Treasurer's Office will be able to view everything owed
by a customer in one place. Legacy systems are out -of- support and the team is anxious to get
moved to a stable, supported platform. The RBS and RCS systems are utilized by multiple Virginia
localities. This creates a large network of people to contact if help is needed, as well as additional
leverage with the vendor.
• Page 11 — The Sturgis Portal integrates with the RBS and RCS systems, allowing taxpayers to
complete filing forms, review billing and payment history, and pay bills online. It allows taxpayers to
do everything they need online, reducing calls and in- person visits to the Treasurer's and
Commissioner's Offices.
Mr. Cobb expressed his appreciation for the history and thanked Mr. Harmon for the presentation. Mr.
Bestpitch noted that one of the new system benefits is that taxpayers will be able to view all their bills in
one place. He asked if miscellaneous accounts receivable would be an exception. Ms. Burkett
responded that customers will not be able to see miscellaneous bills initially; but, the plan is to
subsequently implement the functionality in PCI so those charges will also be visible. Mr. Bestpitch
asked approximately how long it will take. Ms. Burkett replied that it is dependent on how many issues
arise after go -live. The project is currently projecting a go -live date of July 6, 2021. Ms. White -Boyd
asked if project work is ongoing for all six departments involved with the implementation. Ms. Burkett
replied that the Treasurer's and Commissioner's offices are working on the implementation every day.
March 3, 2021 Page 9 of 9
The other departments are primarily working with integration and conversion and much of the
Department of Finance work has been completed. Their activity will pick back up as go -live
approaches. Ms. White -Boyd also noted that Treasurer and Commissioner elections are this year and
inquired if it would slow the project down if one or both were not reelected. Mr. Harmon responded that
regardless of the outcome of the elections, the hope would be that the system is live before the end of
their terms (December 31). Ms. White -Boyd responded that it seems like it will be a much simpler
system related to billing and receivables and thanked staff for keeping the committee up -to -date.
Mr. Cobb asked if there were any further questions or comments. Hearing none, the update was
received and filed.
6. Other Business:
Mr. Harmon reminded the Committee of its next meeting, which will be held on the first Wednesday of
June at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Cobb thanked all those in attendance and again expressed his gratitude for their
hard work.
7. Adjournment:
Mr. Cobb adjourned the meeting at 5:11 p.m.

Subject: DePaco Family Donation of Police Canines
Background:
The DePaco family and their company, Summit Nutritionals International, Inc., has
offered to donate two dual - purpose police canines to the Roanoke Police Department.
Summit Nutritionals International, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of supplements to
treat osteoarthritis in animals. The DePaco family supports numerous police
departments across the world and has demonstrated a commitment to replacing
canines that fall victim to illness or injury. Since 2015 the DePaco family has donated
145 police canines. Their previous donations include K9 Kratos in 2016, and K9 Loki
in 2015, both to the Roanoke Police Department.
Due to new marijuana legislation that goes into effect July 151 and health conditions of
current canines, the Roanoke Police Department needs to replace two canines. The
canines will be selected by Roanoke Police canine handlers and purchased by the
DePaco family from Shallow Creek Kennels, Inc. in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. Each
canine is valued at $8,500 for a total donation of $17,000.
No local match funding or grant account transactions are required for this donation.
Recommended Action:
Accept the donation as described above and authorize the City Manager to execute the
donation agreement and any related documents; all such documents to be approved as
to form by the City Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: June 21, 2021
Subject: Appropriation of Third Party funds and De- appropriation of
advance appropriated 2021 Bonds related to the Transit Station.
Background:
The Greater Roanoke Transit Company (GRTC) Transit Station construction is to
be facilitated by both the City and GRTC with GRTC taking on the bulk of the
project via grant funding received from the Virginia Department of Rail and
Public Transportation in the amount of $11 million. The City is funding the
required local match of $460,000.
On .June 15, 2020, City Council approved the Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) Update for FY2021 -2025. The CIP included planned debt issuance in FY
2021 in the amount of $28,178,000. Included in this was $7,478,000 for
construction of the Transit Station. These funds were appropriated in advance
of the issuance of bonds on duly 20, 2020 with Budget Ordinance 41820-
072020. GRTC is the project manager and fiscal agent. In .July 2020, a grant
was awarded to GRTC for construction of the transit station that eliminated the
need to issue all the bonds authorized. The City is responsible for initial costs
such as the purchase of the land, preliminary engineering and environmental
assessment. On May 10, 2021, $500,000 of 2021 Bond funds were reallocated
to the Digital Radio Conversion Project through City Manager Transfer CMT20-
00050. On May 12, 2021, bonds were issued with $6,300,000 excluded from
the originally authorized issuance.
The City will receive $ 500,000 from the developer, Rutherfoord Partners, LLC,
for the establishment of a temporary facility on the new transit site while the
new station is being constructed.
Considerations:
City Council authorization is required to de- appropriate the previously advance
appropriated bond fund that were not issued. City Council also will need to
appropriate the additional funds from the third party developer in order to
construct a temporary transit facility.
Recommended Action:
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to appropriate $500,000 from a
Third Party for construction of a temporary facility and de- appropriate
$6,300,000 from expenditure account 08- 530 - 9257 -9600 and offsetting contra
account 08- 530 - 9473 -9650.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: June 21, 2021
Subject: Appropriation of Fleet Insurance Recovery Funds
Background:
When a City vehicle is involved in an accident, Risk Management begins the
process of recovering damages from the liable party. These recoveries help to
offset the needed repair or replacement of those vehicles. Current revenue from
insurance recoveries totals $124,935, or $93,759 in excess of the existing
budget of $31,176.
Considerations:
Council approval is required to appropriate insurance recovery revenue in
excess of the current budget.
Recommended Action:
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to increase the revenue estimate for
Fleet Insurance Recoveries (01 -110 -1 234 -0992) by $93,759 and appropriate
funding of the same amount into the Fleet Replacement Reserve (08- 440 -9974-
