The original project budget proposal was based on available funding at the close of the 2016-2017 fiscal year and anticipated fund balance from the 2017-2018 fiscal year. The budget was also set prior to creating and analyzing several schematic and design plan options and budgets with the contracted design build planners, CG Schmidt and architects, Groth Design Group.
The increase will not impact property taxes.
