Notice of public hearing was published as required by law. The budget amendment is shown by line item detail and subtotaled by fund in Appendices A, B, and C to the Resolution. The following discussion includes departmental narratives for each line item or set of line items. Carry Forward of Unused Appropriations from 2010 (Appendix A to the Resolution) 028-799-55330.06 Trail Improvements (+$70,800) This is to improve the trail crossing in the north-east corner of Heritage Park connecting to Daughenbaugh and Warembourg Open Space. The need for a trail crossing improvement was realized during the public process for the Heritage Park Renovation Project. 028-799-55330-68 Hecla Lake Habitat Improvements ($10,000) This carry forward is to retain a consultant to review the North End Developer’s feasibility report for Hecla Lake per subdivision requirements and to evaluate and determine what, if any, issues remain unresolved regarding protection, surface discharge, seepage, dam structure, emergency spillway, toe drain, etc., and to verify that Hecla Reservoir is acceptable to the City. The City will be reimbursed for customary cost associated with this review. In addition, the City will need to fund a study to determine and make recommendations on the viability of Hecla Reservoir as a birding sanctuary including but not limited to water depth variances, aquatic plant material/vegetation, management and sustainability. Hecla has been identified by OSAB as a preferred site for a birding sanctuary but another alternative is a fishing pond. The City is also responsible for any cost associated with evaluating and funding the cost of inlet and outlet structures that exceed the developer’s responsibilities. 028-799-55540-00 GIS Implementation (+$11,950) 042-110-55540-00 GIS Implementation (+$11,950) 051-499-55540-00 GIS Implementation (+$11,950) 052-499-55540-00 GIS Implementation (+$11,950) To pay the remaining invoices for the Fugro Horizons Flyover project.
