DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

During the year, changes to the projects in the CIP are inevitable due to inflation, scope changes, and the programming of new funding.
Several projects had changes to their schedules since the adoption of the 2025 CIP. As a result, work planned for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 has been postponed to FY 2025-26. This Board item requests to resolve this by shifting the funding originally allocated in FY 2024-25 to FY 2025-26.
