Based on the salaries of these two positions, the City Manager should be reimbursed approximately $33,000 and the Accounting Clerk $22,000 for their respective time in their administrative support roles of the Water Fund. That leaves about $144,000 this budget year for your toner, paper, share of City Hall electricity, Water Fund cost share for a new printer every 3-4 years etc. Please do some better research to show how your narrative describing overhead allocation aligns with the dollars being transferred out of the Water Fund for the support services being described.
Remember Mr John Kunkle, the retired City Manager the Council hired as an interim prior to Ms Aman? For almost a year Mr Kunkle led the City which of course included providing his administrative support to the Water Fund doing all those tasks that the author has identified. At the end of his service with the City, Mr Kunkle estimated that he spent approximately 10-15% of his time in this activity. So just 3 years ago based on the salary Mr Kunkle was receiving, the Water Fund would have been reimbursing the City Manager $8,400 – $12,600 for these services.
Remember when Mr Kunkle told the City Council that he wouldn’t be making the transfer of $113,675 from the Water Fund to the City Hall Expansion Fund that the Budget Committee recommended and Council wanted to make because there was no justification for it?
With the use of money from the Water Fund coming under greater scrutiny, more creative explanations seem to have been found to keep the money flowing into the General Fund. After all, those debt payments starting next year on the loan for the new City Hall have to be paid and the banks do not care which City Fund the money comes from.

Very little is as it seems and if you can keep up with Ms Webb, you will understand how this is. With the ground beneath us moving so fast and the air so full of “stuff”, look to your family and neighbors for support and don’t think for a minute that the blue or the red billionaire camps have our interests at heart.

Manzanita’s water fund isn’t a separate entity from the City. The city maintains and operates the water system. Some of that work is done by Dan Weitzel and the Public Works crew but city staff like the City Manager and Accounting Manager use their time, their city offices, supplies, computers, and printers to do billing and payroll and other work to maintain and operate the water system. The City does this for the water system and the City Charter allows those indirect or overhead costs to the city to be paid out of the water fund.
In Section 22 (i) the Charter states that one of the many duties of the City Manager is to supervise the operation of the public utility. That’s our water system.
I asked Dan Weitzel, Director of Public Works, at July’s Coffee with Councilors for an example of what the CM does in regard to the water system since she’s not out laying pipe or running a backhoe. Weitzel told the group about the recent 2.7 million dollar grant for city water projects that CM Aman applied for and received. It takes time and research to write a grant that will be funded.
Weitzel told those of us at the coffee talk that he speaks with the CM daily and if there’s a problem, more than that. The CM is his boss and the responsibility for the water system doesn’t end at 5pm Friday. In fact, the responsibility for keeping everything running in town including the water, is the CM’s.
This is how I understand indirect or overhead costs. Let’s say the city buys a box of pens and a stack of legal pads to use in their day to day. Staff use their pens and their legal pads for both city stuff and water fund stuff. The same pads and pens are used by both entities so how do you determine the exact cost used by the water fund? And what about office machines like a copier or printer? How do you determine the cost to the water fund of toner they use in a year and what about wear and tear on that printer? Who pays for paper? And then you’ve got stuff like the electric bill because the city offices are where the administrative work of the water fund happens. And if the CM covers city business and water business in the same meeting—how do you keep an exact record?
There’s been a suggestion to have administrative staff use timesheets to track their minute by minute but that’s never been done by any of the city managers we’ve had since the dawn of time. Not even the guy who continues to suggest it, kept a time sheet. Time sheets have probably never been used because CMs wear a bunch of hats and it’s impractical to constantly keep track of how much time is spent on each area. For example, in a conversation about time spent on IT issues, do you separate out the time spent talking about how it affects the water billing system versus other billing systems?
You can so easily get all up in the weeds trying to figure out the minutiae of this stuff.
Which is why governments, corporations and other entities everywhere do an indirect cost allocation to cover the cost of the shared support and services provided to another entity.
You do your best to estimate the time and cost and charge accordingly.
