The 2008 PCED adopted Capital Budget includes $100,000 for consulting services and printing and publishing expenses in conjunction with development of the Downtown Plan (Project 30, "Downtown Plan," Account No. 810575). This Resolution will amend the capital project narrative to allow for $18,000 in expenditures for an office space lease, including utilities (if the lease is extended to include the optional three months) and funding for additional facility/room rental and general office supplies.
