TO:

Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

FROM:

Kenneth C. Pennoyer, Business Management Director

George Small, P.E., Engineering Director

Kumar Neppalli, E.I.T., Engineering Services Manager

SUBJECT:

Budget Amendment for Traffic Signals Revenue and Expenditures

DATE:

March 17, 2008

PURPOSE

This attached budget ordinance would revise the FY2007-08 budget to account for additional traffic signal related revenues and expenditures in the Engineering Department.

 

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

 

The Town recently purchased two additional traffic signal cabinets for signalized intersections on State roads in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) agreed to increase the revenue for traffic signals by $11,686.  The revenue is provided as part of the municipal agreement between the Town and NCDOT for traffic signal maintenance. 

 

The attached budget amendment would increase the Engineering Department M&R-Traffic Equipment account by $11,686 to cover the cost of two signal cabinets and would increase revenue by the same amount.

 

RECOMMENDATION

We recommend that the Council enact the attached budget ordinance.
