Summary
The purpose of this report is to request authority from City Council to amend the approved 2017 Council Approved Capital Budget and 2018-2026 Capital Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PF&R) by adjusting project costs and cash flows contained within the Budget and Plan. The adjustments will align cash flows for capital project delivery schedules and program requirements and will have a zero debt impact. Additional reallocations to project cash flows and project costs are requested where recent project bids exceed the current approved cash flow or alternatively to advance projects into 2017 that are ready to proceed.
These reallocations will allow Parks, Forestry and Recreation to continue to deliver projects within its capital plan. These adjustments will have a zero dollar impact on debt funding and will align the budget and plan with the Parks, Forestry and Recreation capital delivery schedule, the readiness to proceed and the program requirements.
In addition, this report seeks Council approval for the closure of three projects that will reduce 2017 cash flow and release the remaining funds for other capital purposes.
