(b) This is a 4% increase similar to other Contract Agencies #39 and #40). This item was overlooked on the original recommended service`enhancement list." 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)Notch 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 completion of the voter approved BCC package. To accomplish the advanced schedule for the North College project, the budget for 2002 (BCC Streets and'T. 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.
