Title
Request to Combine Capital Improvement Project Accounts to replace two roofs at Morningside Nature Center Living History Farm (NB)
This item involves a request to combine five CIP account balances from the FY 2009 Capital Improvement Plan and reallocate these to address an immediate Capital need at the Morningside Nature Center Living History Farm.
Explanation
During Fiscal Year 2009, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department received funding for a number of minor Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) which were completed and have small balances remaining in the various CIP accounts. Additionally, in one instance, a project funded with CIP dollars was budgeted in the Wild Spaces Public Places (WSPP) allocation approved by the City Commission in late 2009, along with other WSPP-funded CIP projects. The funds now remaining in the CIP accounts listed below are needed to address serious roof issues at both the cabin and the barn at the Morningside Nature Center.
The Department requests permission to combine the remaining funds in order to cover the costs of new roofs at the two Morningside outbuildings. The accounts are as follows: 1) remaining balance of $123 from the A. Quinn Jones House Project account that has been completed; 2) $7,700 from the Rosa Williams Center Roof project that has been completed and was paid for using WSPP funding rather than FY2009 CIP funding; 3) remaining balance of $18,755 from the Possum Creek Park improvements that have been completed; 4) $389 from a different A Quinn Jones House Project account that has been completed; and 5) $212 from the Patriotic Flag Project that has been completed. The total amount of funding derived from these five CIP accounts equals $27,179 and is close to the roofing estimates received.
