Commissioner Tobin asked John Woodruff, Budget Director, to explain this item.
John Woodruff, Budget Director, explained that this item is necessary because they are
readopting the budget baseline, and because the Capital Budget was amended a little while back
(Clerk’s Note: See Item R7G, City Commission meeting of November 19, 2014), this item needs
to be readopted. By doing this, we have the original budget and the amendment.
Commissioner Tobin asked if the $8.521 Million is being taken from the capital reserves.
John Woodruff, Budget Director, explained that this is a “cash flow” measure. Cash is needed
now to process change orders, and the money will be going back into the reserve as soon as they
receive the bond funds.
