Title
Resolution to Amend the Fiscal Year 2021 Council Approved Budget to Appropriate $375,560.00 from the Hampton Roads Convention Center Fund's Unappropriated Bond Interest to the Capital Projects Fund for Maintenance at the Hampton Roads Convention Center
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
In the Fiscal Year 2020 ("FY20") Capital Budget, City Council approved a total of $925,000.00 for maintenance items at the Hampton Roads Convention Center ("HRCC"). The maintenance items included three components: repairs to the meeting spaces (i.e. ballrooms), generators and parking lot. The meeting spaces (i.e. ballrooms) component came in at a higher than budgeted amount and requires an additional appropriation.
Discussion:
Staff is proposing that the unappropriated bond interest in the HRCC Fund be utilized to cover the increased maintenance costs for the meeting spaces (i.e. ballrooms). Facilitating this action while the HRCC is closed to the public will, no doubt, hasten the completion of the maintenance project which will minimize disruption to events scheduled upon reopening.
Impact:
Appropriate $375,560.00 from the HRCC Fund's Unappropriated Bond Interest to the Capital Projects Fund to complete maintenance projects at the HRCC.
Recommendation:
Approve.
