AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending Capital Improvement Budget for Project 10075
Highway 35 Bike Trail
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Bids for the Highway 35 Bike Trail came in much higher than expected. The grant has a fixed
amount. The County can either proceed with the project and pay the difference or cancel the
project and be out the $95,000 spent in design fees. Community Development is working on
additional grant options to help reduce the County contribution, but there are no guarantees.
The additional amount needed is $335,877. The CIP has a healthy fund balance in excess of
five million, which is planned for use on future projects in 2025 and beyond.
