Fiscal Note
This resolution authorizes the acceptance of two United States Fish and Wildlife Service grants not to exceed $19,000. The City will provide a match of approximately $18,000. The majority of the expenditure authorization and corresponding grant revenue is anticipated in the 2011 Adopted Parks Division Capital Budget as part of the Conservation Parks Project (Project #3, Capital Account #810401). This budget amendment will authorize the additional $1,500 in anticipated grant revenues. No additional appropriation is required and there is no impact on the property tax levy.
