When originally proposed, the project was slated for July 2021, so funding for the City portion of
the project was not included in the FY 2020 -2021 budget. Given the importance of the project,
and that the accelerated project schedule makes the outside funding available for immediate
use, staff intends to propose moving forward using a budget amendment to cover the City's
portion.
FUNDING:
The FY 2020 -2021 Streets Division Budget did not include funding for the proposed improvements.
As a result, a carryover of funds from the FY 2019 -2020 Streets Division Fund is requested to fund
the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a budget amendment in the FY 2020 -2021 General Fund
increasing revenues and the appropriation for expenditures by $32,718.00 utilizing carryover FY
2019 -2020 Streets Division Funds.
Staff further recommends approval of Resolution 2020 -18, authorizing the Funding Agreement
between City of Owasso and Oklahoma Department of Transportation for the railroad crossing
improvements located at East 76th Street North and Atlanta Road.
