November 16, 2023 · City Council
Public hearing and work meeting discussion: 2023-24 budget amendments
Discussed
Amendments include $905,000 from capital projects fund balance for multiple expenses, $100,000 for Spring Lane park concept design and public engagement, a $200,000 transfer as a match for a 2700 East sidewalk grant, and a $250,000 match for the $600,000 historic experience grant. A $6.7 million federal grant for the Cottonwood Creek bridge on Highland Drive requires a Holladay match of $480,000 (6.77% of project cost, which rose from $3.5 million to $7 million). Historic signs would cost about $5,000 each rather than about $300. The capital projects fund fell from $14.7 million to about $11 million after an RDA loan.
