Fiscal Note
The Resolution proposes capital budget expenditures of $422,846. The 2014 adopted Capital budget includes three projects which authorize expenditures for planning efforts for the Nakoosa Site Development:
Fleet Service Project No. 4, "Fire Maintenance Building/Design," Acc't No. 810761; Fleet Service Project No. 7, "Fleet Service Relocation," Acc't No. 810746; and, Streets Project No. 6, "Biodigester and Organics Collection," Acc't No. 810767. In addition, Metro Transit is exploring the Nakoosa Trail site as a potential satellite location. However, the 2014 adopted Capital Budget of Metro Transit does not include authority for expenditures in 2014 (rather, 2016 and following), so an amendment to the Metro Transit 2014 capital budget is required. The Resolution will establish an Account number (810803) for Metro Transit Project No. 4, "Building Expansion and Construction," and provide total funding of $82,473 comprised of $16,495 in General Obligation borrowing and $65,978 in Federal Grant funds.
The total expenditure detail is as follows:
Fleet Service Relocation Fund No. IM01-58011-810746, $273,833
