EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution approving the rebudget of funding for High-Speed Rail Development Services so that the appropriations in FY 2025 are sufficient to cover anticipated expenditures. The recommended resolution will appropriate $209,700 in funding to the current fiscal budget year. Funds are available from the High-Speed Rail project under previously executed agreements. BACKGROUND Annually, the Department reviews its operating programs appropriations and recommends adjustments to complete the programs during the year. This review ensures that adequate appropriations are in place to complete the programs given the most recent information. Based on a review of the High-Speed Rail Development Services program budget, an adjustment is required to meet the planned expenditures for the fiscal year. Appropriations for High-Speed Rail Development Services are proposed to be adjusted by $209,700. The increase is principally due to the increase in construction, plan review, construction submittal, and inspection activity at the Belmont Avenue grade separation between Delno and Safford Avenues, the G Street bridge at Fresno Street and the Tulare Street, Cesar Chavez Boulevard, Fresno Street, and Herndon Avenue pump stations. The recommended Resolution would amend the appropriations within the identified program to allow for completion of work this fiscal year. To meet the projected funding requirements, $209,700 in funding must be appropriated. The detailed adjustments are in the Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution attached.
