Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:

There are sufficient funds budgeted in Roads Operating object line 1400 Extra Help to cover the additional cost of these hours. The ongoing challenge with the Road Fund is the negative fund balance and very long delays in reimbursements from federal and state sources.

The additional costs for PERS have been included in the above-mentioned estimated salary cost for the requested extension of extra-help hours
