RECOMMENDATION
title

[4/5 vote required]
body
BACKGROUND
The Replacement Jail project is progressing on schedule and on budget, and is now open for staff operations and training (and for inmates shortly). The project is funded both by the County General Fund and State Funding. State Funding is on a reimbursable basis. When the budget for this fiscal year was built, staff conservatively estimated State reimbursements for the current fiscal year, which resulted in the shortfall in appropriations.
The total project budget for Project 19005 is $124,058,069 and remains unchanged. The total amount budgeted to date is $121,357,195. The difference of $2,700,874 requested in this budget amendment is due to timing of State reimbursements and the final construction costs. Any remaining budget will be carried forward for the final closeout in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and then returned to the General Fund.
Requested Action:
Approval of a Budget Amendment to increase Construction Services appropriation by $2,700,874 (Fund 3000, Sub-Division 3000505, Project 19005, Account 52360) offset by increase to State Funding revenue for the same amount.
