AGENDA #4e

 

Title of Agenda Item:  Budget Ordinance Amendments

Background:  The attached staff memorandum includes background information on various Transit Funds to reflect changes, corrections and budget adjustments.

Fiscal Note: The greatest adjustment reflects a $225,782 decrease in the budget for State Maintenance Assistance, which can be accommodated in the Transit Fund by a reduction in the fuel budget in the current year.  One amendment will reserve a $115,168 donation from the University to increase the Transit Capital Reserve.  Other amendments make adjustments to State and local matches for three transit grants that currently total about $6.5 million, requiring a net increase in local match of $36,582 and additional $67,153 in other revenue sources.  The miscellaneous adjustments are summarized in the table below.
