BACKGROUND:

The Bill and Jean Lane Education Center at Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve (Education Center) is a project on the Capital Improvement Project listing. The total amount of construction costs for this project is $1,367,350 and the balance of unpaid Department of Public Works fees is $28,537. Funds in the amount of $826,391 have been appropriated by the Department of Public Works and funds in the amount of $65,000 from an Energy Efficiency Community Block Grant (EECBG) are pending for this project. The balance of $504,496 is being transferred from the Parks Dedication Trust Fund to fully fund this project. Funds from the Parks Dedication Trust Fund can only be used for the acquisition of new park lands or the development of existing park lands.

DISCUSSION:
|
This Appropriation Transfer Request will authorize the transfer of funds from the Parks Dedication Trust Fund to the Capital Improvement Project budget to fully fund the construction costs and the balance of the unpaid Department of Public Works fees to complete the Education Center. If the EECBG funds are not approved, the Parks Department will provide the balance of $65,000 from the Parks Dedication Trust Fund as a separate transaction. There are adequate funds available in the Parks Dedication Trust Fund for these transactions.
