EXPLANATION OF FISCAL/FTE IMPACTS
A budget amendment is needed to amend the 2024 Parks CIP budget for the appropriated federal funds. The acceptance of these funds will not require any additional County match for any of the projects and will subsequently decrease the amount of County funding being used for the Veterans Memorial Greenway and Mississippi River Greenway.
