Fiscal Note
This resolution authorizes the City to execute an addendum to a professional services contract for planning services for Central Park, and also amends the 2011 Parks Division Capital Budget to recognize related funding of $50,000 from a National Endowment of the Arts Grant. Total costs associated with the design services are estimated at $170,450, and funding is available within CL60-58011-810625-00-53W0853.
A one-to-one match of the Federal grant funding is required. The 2011 Parks Capital Budget contains funding of $3,704,805 of General Obligation Debt (of which $3,056,211 is TIF reimbursable) and $450,000 of funding from Parks Development Fees. The matching requirement should therefore easily be met. The budget amendment for the additional $50,000 of grant funding would be as follows:
CL60-58011-810625-00-53W0853 $50,000
CL60-73115-810625-00-53W0853 ($50,000)
