While the modifications indicated in Attachment II bring the project closer to the budgeted amount, approximately $189,000 of additional funds is required to fully fund the construction of the building. The Manager recommends that the additional funds necessary for the completion of this project be reallocated from prior years allocations in the Solid Waste Convenience Center Capital Project.
