Sen. Barnett and a GPD finance representative questioned why lapses and carryover figures differed: Barnett cited a $9.3 million lapse while the GPD finance official said their tracking showed a lower figure (around $8M). The finance official explained lapsed funds returned to surplus and were reappropriated; a $500,000 monument project had used half the allocation, and GPD sought the remainder but DOA said the contract funding had expired, requiring use of general fund cover while alternate funding is sought.
