Budget be amended as detailed in Section C. of the Budget Amendment Summary.
Supported by Dingeldey.
Mr. Obrecht distributed a letter to the Committee regarding the Capital Improvement
Program (CAP). This letter is a result of the August 29 action of the Finance Committee to
place this item on the Budget Wrap Up for today and to review the CAP with Mr. Ross prior
to that time. The letter contains recommendations resulting from that meeting. The letter
identifies those Capital projects not yet begun and ties them to the FY 2004 Budget Task
by requiring that they come before the Finance Com mittee, as well as the Planning and
Building Committee, prior to any funds being expended.

recommending that the $750,000 be designated from the DTRF, with appropriation to be
determined following review of the FY 2002 year-end report. The Auditing Division will be

remove the $750,000 impact on the General Fund from the Summary of Amendments list.
