Fiscal Note
The estimated cost for the improvements at the Olin Park Building is $3.95M. Currently, the City anticipates $400K in direct contributions to the City’s project from a tenant in the building (in addition to longer term annual rental payments). Current budget allocations for the Olin Park Building Project and associated Park Facility Improvements projects have available expenditure authorization of $1.87M in City funding.
This budget amendment transfers $1.76M in existing expenditure authorization from various projects in the Parks Division’s Capital Budget to the Olin Park Building Project program (MUNIS Project 17443). The below transfers utilize balances from existing capital accounts, the vast majority of which is the sum of residual balances from completed projects. Transferring the funds out of these major programs and closing the projects will provide a more efficient financial administration of the Capital Budget moving forward. The amendment does not require new expenditure authorization.
