when completed. Construction is expected to start in March 2020 and be completed by February 2021.
The General Capital funding was included in the 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan for project P00020. In order to administratively track the
spending of all funding sources in one project, appropriation ordinances are needed to move appropriations from the programmable project to the
jointly funded static project. This action will amend the 2020-20024 Capital Improvement Plan.
