Title
Department of Transportation recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign a budget transfer adjusting the budgets for Texas Hill, Greensprings, Crescent Ridge, and Black Oak Zones of Benefit due to an increase in road maintenance, drainage maintenance, election charges, and administrative costs. (4/5 vote required)
(District 1, 2, and 3)
FUNDING: Zone of Benefit Special Fees/Service Charges.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Zones of Benefit (ZOB) often require non-road-related work to be completed by Department of Transportation (DOT) employees. When the budget is created, DOT staff estimate what the following fiscal year's cost will be, and, for Fiscal Year 2024-25, the actual costs for several of the ZOBs were higher than budgeted. This budget transfer increases the budget for Texas Hill, Greensprings, Crescent Ridge, and Black Oak Zones of Benefit for their portion of the additional cost related to road maintenance, drainage maintenance, election charges, and administrative costs.
ALTERNATIVES
If the Board does not approve the budget transfer, the Road Fund will not be fully reimbursed for costs.
