VARIANCE DISCUSSION
Total Installment Billings to Participants (Table 2):
Total billings to participating agencies increased from the prior year by $547,216 or 3.6%. The increase is explained below within the budget categories.
Billable Routine Operations and Maintenance and Variable Energy (Table 1):
Routine Operations and Maintenance billings will be $35,220 higher than the prior year budget primarily due to an overall increase in O&M efforts for the Naci units (General through T‐11) in the amount of
$75,200, there is also a budgeted increase in Engineering labor costs by $51,386 compared to FY 21‐22. These increases are offset by notable decreases in the Master Water Contract billable costs of $45,014, a decrease in the budget estimate for environmental mitigation labor costs $33,777 and decrease in contributions for ISF equipment $17,750.
While the Variable Energy budget is not included in the installment billings to Participants, the budget/estimate is included in the table for reference. Budgetary/estimated amounts are higher than the prior year budget based upon requested deliveries to the participating agencies and related energy pumping costs.
Billable Non‐Routine Operations and Maintenance (Tables 1 and 3):
Non‐Routine billings are $513,600 higher than the prior year budget due to changes in the following projects, based on 5‐year Capital Improvement Plan reviewed with the Technical Support Group at the November and December scheduled meetings.
