The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of Ordinance 2875 -2016 that will reappropriate grant funds that were previously appropriated for paving of the Daubenspeck Picnic Area Parking Lot. The parking lot has been paved and $11,858.50 of grant funds remain unexpended. These grant funds and the remaining grant funds from other projects in the Municipal Roadway Improvements Capital Project Fund will be combined to reduce the transfer needed from the General Fund for completion of First Street's reconstruction. The FY2016 Budget included $150,000 transfer from the General Fund for the First Street project and provided the project does not exceed original estimates of $400,000, the General Fund transfer will be reduced by a minimum of $76,776. These grant funds were scheduled to expire on June 30, 2015, however the administration was successful in extending the grant through June 30, 2016. Your support for adoption of Ordinance 2875 -2016 is greatly appreciated.
