Explanation:
In order to increase the City's chances of receiving the TAP grant the Council approved
budgeting $94,000 for Engineering and Surveying costs in FY 14 -15 in the Street Special
Revenue Fund. The City expended $44,600 for Design Engineering and $22,120 for
Surveying in FY 14-15 from the Street Special Revenue Fund. The TAP Grant has been
awarded to the City and City Council approved acceptance of the Grant at its October 20,
2015 meeting. It is now appropriate to create a Project and budget for expenditures for
the City's match. The City is responsible for the remaining Engineer Design and some
Engineering Construction Support costs (included in the amended agreement with
Gessener Engineering) and "cash match" to be paid to TXDOT. This Budget Amendment
puts $833,691 in a TAP Grant Sidewalk CIP project to cover remaining City cost
responsibilities. Budget amounts are coming from General Fund Unallocated Reserve in
the amount of $551,911, Sidewalks CIP Unallocated Budget in the amount of $116,935,
and from Street CIP Unallocated Budget in the amount $164,845. These amounts were
discussed with the Finance Committee at their November 2, 2015 meeting with the
amounts being part of the City Manager's "Assigned" balances for Unallocated Reserves
and CIP Unallocated Budget.
