PUBLIC APPEARANCE
1. Allocation of Ending Balance to Compensate For Error During April 25, 2013 Project
Selection Meeting
Mr. Reeves explained that after the April 25, 2013 Project Selection meeting, staff found
an error on the accounting spreadsheet with the result of a $12,000 shortfall. This
shortfall meant that there was not enough to fund the last project approved, which was
NM Ped: Hawthorne/Dickman ADA, Prescott 1650 (NM-16) for $48,000. Staff identified
that Oak Newton Park Play Equipment Replacement project (32n0828) had been
completed and the project was closed out after the April 25 meeting, with a balance of
$14,037.90, which created a new ending balance in that amount.
Sharon Dwight made a motion to use $12,000 of the new ending balance to
complete the funding for NM Ped: Hawthorne/Dickman ADA, Prescott 1650 (NM-16)
in the amount of $48,000, with $2,037.90 left as unallocated in the FY2013/14 NIP
budget. Richard Ruccello seconded the motion. Nine Representatives approved
the motion with Deer Flats, Del Monte Grove Laguna Grande, Fisherman Flats,
Monterey Vista, and Skyline Ridge absent.
