Background and Discussion: 
At this time Toll Road CP, Series K does not have enough capacity to fund their project’s appropriation needs. It is in the best interest of the County to establish an additional CP program for HCTRA.
 
Expected Impact: 
It provides available resources to HCTRA.
 
Alternative Options: 
Toll Road could opt to pause or slow down some of their ongoing and upcoming projects until cash is available, however this option is not recommended.
 
Alignment with Goal(s): 
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
X Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
