Hall

?????
(Discussion says this: Funding sources and amounts for the project will remain consistent, as only the timing of the project is being adjusted per this amendment. The Monroe Street reconstruction project first appeared in the 2008 adopted CIP, where it was originally planned for construction in 2010. The project remained in the CIP while the project timing has changed over the years. The 2016 Adopted CIP funded the Monroe Street project for construction in 2018. The net impact to the CIP of the proposed amendment is a reduction in GO Borrowing of $650,000 for the Pleasant View Road cost re-estimate in 2019. The overall funding movement across the CIP out-years results in a total increase in GO Borrowing by 1.5% in 2018 and 3.8% in 2019, and a reduction in total GO Borrowing of -7.3% in 2020
