no impact on the Transportation & Public Works' or the Water Department's operating budgets when completed.
The general capital funding was included in the 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program 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 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance
24446-09-2020.
