1. Approve a supplemental budget (Attachment 1) for requests for carry forward Measure Z funding from FY 2020-21 into FY 2021-22 (4/5 vote required).
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund - Measure Z (1100)
DISCUSSION:
On March 9, 2021 your Board allocated additional funding to Measure Z projects for FY 2020-21 due to revenues exceeding original projections.

Through April 2021, Measure Z is estimated to have generated $11.6 million, or $1.9 million more than the same period in the prior year. Because award dollars were previously budgeted in FY 2020-21, carrying forward the requested funds into FY 2021-22 results in no net impact to Measure Z funding.
The following details the requests for Carry Forward for FY 2021-22.
