Legislature amends capital program for Forest Home Drive; Pine Tree Road project completes under budget
Summary
The facilities committee moved and the legislature approved capital adjustments including a budget amendment to close out Forest Home Drive (ID 6856) and heard that Pine Tree Road finished roughly $100,000 under budget; the Forest Home Drive amendment transfers funds from the highway fund balance to cover final costs.
David McKenna, chair of the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee, reported several capital items. He said the Pine Tree Road project is complete and "a $100,000 under budget," drawing praise from legislators.
The legislature then considered a budget adjustment to transfer funds from the highway fund balance and amend the capital program to cover final costs for the reconstruction of Forest Home Drive (ID 6856). Committee discussion clarified that the amendment is a final "true up" to reflect actual costs and move money from the highway fund balance into the capital account to close out a 2016 project.
Legislators asked for detail on why final adjustments were happening now; staff said large projects require formal closeout and audit steps. The short-form roll-call for the amendment passed unanimously.
