ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)

Consider approval of a request to amend the City of Texas City's fiscal year 2019-20 budget.

BACKGROUND

A budget amendment is needed to appropriate funds for landscaping project along Amburn Road from Emmett Lowry Expwy. to Hwy. 3.  See the email from Dennis J. Harris below. 

From Dennis J. Harris, Director of Recreation & Tourism:

I am requesting that a budget amendment be placed on May 20, 2020 City Commission Agenda in the amount of $448,217, for the commissioners  consideration and approval. The purpose will be to continue the landscaping project on Amburn Road at Emmett Lowry freeway (FM 1764) to Hwy 3. This project will partially be funded by Castle Rock Developers with a commitment of $350,000, currently to date they have paid $175,000 with the balance to be paid in the near future.
 
I am requesting the funding to support the development and installation of landscaping, electrical installation and purchasing of Black antique double lights with poles. This landscaping project will be consistent with the landscaping that was done in front of COM.
 
Below is a breakdown of the different components of the project:
 
  • Plant material/irrigation                                                $227,466
  • Electrical installation cost                                            $169,000
  • Black Antique double lights w/poles                            $197,074
                                                                      Total                $593,540
                                               
                                                  Contingency 5%                  $29,677
 
                                                          Grand Total                  $623,217
                                                                                             -$175,000 (have been received for half of their participation)
 
                                                            Net Requested    $448,217
 
Should you have any questions, please let me know.
