i
2002 and 2003 Budget Adjustment
There has been interest from both the public and Council to advance the schedule of the Building
Community Choices (BCC)North College Corridor project. As originally scheduled, the project
would be scheduled for construction in 2005. Cash flow over the 0.25 cent BCC tax projections
allows the City the opportunity to accelerate the North College project schedule for construction
to begin in 2003. This adjustment does not affect the schedule for other projects within the BCC
Streets and Transportation package nor does the adjustment affect the projected balance at the
i
completion of the voter approved BCC package.
To accomplish the advanced schedule for the North College project, the budget for 2002 (BCC
Streets and Transportation package in the Capital Projects Fund) and the appropriation to fund
fiscal year 2002 has been increased by $238,447 for design and right-of-way costs. In addition,
$2,016,854 has been added to the 2003 budget. These adjustments have been made to the
Ordinance presented to Council in this agenda item for adoption.
