Mr. Trocquet explained the budget modifications regarding potential revenue from the food truck park and grant revenue from the Fayette County Development Authority (FCDA).

He pointed out that the FCDA had approved a recent request for an increase of $15,000 in grant funds. He also noted that the budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 would be $348,350.
