This amendment is necessary to adjust the budget for professional services to include work completed to date and allow for completion of a variety of tasks presented on the summary titled Depot Park - Proposed Amendment # 12, dated October 31, 2005. This adjustment also shifts project allocated budget between tasks where under/over runs were experienced as demonstrated on 'Cost Distribution Form - October 2005'.
