FY 2021 UPWP/Operational Budget Amendment One Packet
An amendment to the 2021 Unified Planning Work Program, with accompanying changes to the Operational Budget, is proposed to:
- Add the purchase of Aerial Photos. (+$25,000)
The 2020 Aerial photo delivery was delayed due to some quality control issues with the final deliverable product.
- Decrease the salary/fringe line. (-$15,000)
Estimates have been revised to reflect staffing changes.
- Decrease the Transportation Consultant Line. (-$10,000)
OTO will likely not hire consultants for studies during the irregular conditions resulting from COVID-19.
- Remove the 2021-2024 TIP.
OTO elected not to adopt a new TIP, but to amend the existing TIP.
The total budget amount remains the same.
