Appropriate $9,500,620, recognizing unanticipated fund balance, to transfers in the General Fund for PCSO. This is a carryforward for previously budgeted funds that were not expensed in FY25.

CVB has identified a vendor and anticipated expense for consulting and engineering services for a limited subsurface investigation at the Toytown Closed Class I Landfill. This will transfer funds to Capital Projects to provide the necessary funding to move forward with the proposal.
Appropriate $250,000, recognizing unanticipated revenue from transfers from TDT Fund to Capital Projects Fund, to support the Toytown Remediation Phase 1 Project, a potential site for a youth sports facility.
