Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Commissioner of Precinct 3 for approval to move $969,327 of FLEX Fund (1040) from the design and installation of infrastructure improvements in Highlands to the design and installation of infrastructure improvements in Barrett and extend the deadline for expenditure of funds to December 31, 2027 as part of the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design Program.
end
Background and Discussion:
On 9/19/2023 Commissioners Court approved the allocation of $4,000,000 towards the design and installation of streetlights and sidewalks in the Barrett and Highlands communities as part of the CPTED program. The streetlight effort is complete and the sidewalk design is ongoing. Moving $969,327 from Highlands to Barrett allows for the construction of a complete section of sidewalk within Barrett. Extending the expenditure deadline supports the necessary construction duration.
Expected Impact:
This funding transfer will enable the construction of an initial phase of storm sewer and sidewalk and lead to an improvement in the quality of life.
Alternative Options:
Maintain the original budget allocations between projects and construct smaller projects in both locations.
