Budget (Lisa Spriggs)

10.

BCR #04-12 – $3,343,228 – Public Works – Engineering – Fund: 11541 – 2001 Renewed Sales Tax Fund.   The Department of Public Works has conducted an interim evaluation of the status of previously authorized Minor Road Program projects in the current year funded by the 2001 Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund.  These accounting adjustments align funding into appropriate accounts for completion of programmed projects.

11.

BCR #04-24 – $100,000 – Public Works – Traffic Engineering – Fund: 11541 – 2001 Renewed Sales Tax Fund.  As presented during Budget Worksessions for FY 03/04, certain Traffic Engineering Projects relating to the Advanced Traffic Management System Equipment were input into the Annual Budget using general descriptions and identifying that specific locations would be determined and proposed at a later date.  Two locations have now been identified: traffic signals along the Tuskawilla Road Corridor need to be changed to a light emitting diode (LED) format and the existing field equipment at Redbug/SR 426 intersection needs to be upgraded in order to interface with the new Advanced Management Traffic System and the 911 systems located at the Public Safety Complex.  This transfer allocates funding to allow these two projects to proceed.

12.

BCR #04-26 - $503,250 – Public Works – Engineering-Find: 11541-2001 Renewed Sales Tax Fund. The Department of Public Works has conducted an interim evaluation of the status of previously authorized Sidewalk Program Projects in the current year funded by the 2001 Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund. These accounting adjustments will align funding into appropriate accounts so these programmed projects may be completed.

13.

BCR #04-27 – $338,162 – Public Works – Road Operations/Stormwater – Fund: 13000 – Stormwater Fund.   An interim budget adjustment is needed to transfer available monies to Stormwater projects which require additional funding.  An evaluation of the status for certain projects has revealed that $255,162 is needed in the current year for three projects: I-4 Borrow Pit (to cover permitting fees), Oakhurst/Red Bug Outfall (to cover construction costs), and Center Drive (to allow a construction award to proceed in the late summer/early fall).  Funding is proposed to come from available balances in the completed Walden Drive Outfall Study and the completed Lake View Construction projects. The Paradise Point and Pearl/Prairie Lake Stormwater projects can be deferred to a future year (tentatively FY05/06) and the Osceola Road Stormwater Project needs to be deferred indefinitely due to right-of-way issues.   Savings of $83,000 has also been realized on the Northwestern Ave and Horse Lovers Lane projects in the Little Wekiva River Basin due to the use of in-house staff for Construction Engineering & Inspection. It is requested that these savings be returned to the overall Little Wekiva Basin Project so that other cooperative undertakings with the Water Management District and Orange County can proceed. 

14.

Budget Amendment Request, $182,500 – Public Works: 11541 – 2001 Renewed Sales Tax Fund.  The Department of Public Works has conducted an interim evaluation of the status of previously authorized Minor Road Program Projects in the current year under the 2001 Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund. Additional funding is necessary in order to complete the roadway reconstruction and traffic operation improvements for the Lake Emma Road Project between Sand Pond Road and Lake Mary Boulevard.  (This amendment compliments BCR 04-12 on this agenda which will move $1,397,500 in construction funds to this project from various other projects within the Minor Road Program.)

15.

Budget Amendment Request, $500,000 – Public Works: 11541 – 2001 Renewed Sales Tax Fund.  The Department of Public Works has conducted an interim evaluation of the status of previously authorized Sidewalk Program projects in the current year under the 2001 Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund and it was determined that construction of the Howell Creek Pedestrian Bridge has emerged as a high priority project due to safety concerns. This project will complete a missing link within the trails system and provide a safe pedestrian access to nearby schools. Design of the bridge is substantially complete and construction is ready to begin.

16.

Budget Amendment Request, $15,000 – Library & Leisure Services: 00100 – General Fund.  Shade from trees overhanging tennis courts creates condensation on the courts at Sanlando Park.  The condensation does not dry due to the excessive shading which prevents use.  In addition, it makes the courts slippery.  There have been numerous citizen complaints regarding the delay in tennis match play and lessons.  $20,000 is needed to address the problem, with $5,000 in the current budget.  The balance of $15,000 is requested from contingency; this leaves $6,648,489 in General Fund contingency.  The FY 2004/05 budget contains an additional $5,000 for tree trimming/removal at Sanlando Park which can be relinquished pending approval of this item.
