Capital Project Fund after the completion of the purchase .With the enactment of the attached
Ordinance , funds will be returned to their original funding source related to the Airport Snow
Removal Equipment project, where they will reside in fund balance until the passage of future
ordinances appropriating the funds for operations or other capital projects.
Your support for the enactment of this Ordinance is respectfully requested.
