Due to unanticipated maintenance on the maintenance vehicles (gators) totaling more than $12,000, costs for repairs to the bobcat and JCB telehandler totaling over $11,000, and repairs to the Harwood fire suppression system, we have unanticipated repairs totaling $29,045.28. Custodial supplies saw unanticipated increases, and the supply for the new 4H bathroom has been considerably higher than expected, causing us to reconfigure that bathroom to utilize different supplies than were designed. The fairgrounds also dealt with equipment supplies that failed early in their lifespan, requiring replacement before the expected lifecycle for such parts was complete. Central Services is requesting a budget extension for $25,000 to bolster the following budget lines in the fairground's maintenance budget, 001. 112.000.000.573703101 001.112.000.000.573703132 00 1. 112.000.000.5 73 704804 We plan to increase these levels in our 2024 budget request to anticipate better the rising costs within these industries and for anticipated repairs for aging equipment. Please note that some equipment was surplus when we received it and is well past its useful life. (JCB) Respectfully submitted.
