<br />INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
<br />During the 2023 budget process, staff shared concerns with the City Council regarding
<br />the fiscal health of internal service funds. These funds provide a centralized service and
<br />charge departments for use of the services (e.g. Building Maintenance). Over the last
<br />several years, the City has taken steps to solve long-term issues for each fund. Most
<br />recently on December 19, City Council approved a one-time $2.9 million subsidy for the
<br />Engineering Division. There are four potential forthcoming requests for internal service
<br />funds, discussed below.
<br />Central Stores

<br />decreased over the years. With decreased usage, the City has lost economies of scale
<br />and there is no longer a cost benefit of maintaining a Central Stores. At this point, there
<br />is only a need to keep specialized water operations equipment on hand. Therefore, staff
<br />is preparing to close the Central Stores internal service fund by the end of the current
