I'm, um, and I wanted to just 123 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,560 reiterate that we haven't changed any of 124 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,240 them. Our discussion about how we got to 125 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,040 some of these numbers. The one that that 126 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,200 we have two adjustments, one large, one 127 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,280 small. 128 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,760 Um, the large adjustment is here on the 129 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,880 contractual line, and that is the line 130 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,919 where we show work that we do on studies 131 00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:11,440 and projects where we need to use 132 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,280 outside consulting vendors, outside 133 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:18,080 vendors, specialized help. Last June, we 134 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,160 applied for a regional infrastructure 135 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,200 accelerator grant from the US Department 136 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,680 of Transportation, 137 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,919 and we just got word, um, two weeks ago. 138 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:27,640 I think we sent an email out to you. We 139 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,160 got word that we'd been awarded one of 140 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440 14 grants in the entire nation. So, we 141 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,640 had applied for 1.5 million, and we were 142 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,160 awarded just over a million, 1.150. 143 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,040 Um, and so now this number that, uh, 144 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,720 back in March was 3.3 is now 4.4 145 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,560 million, And so that's where you see 146 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,800 that showing up. Um 147 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,680 And so what does that actually mean for 148 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,200 us and what we're doing? Just really 149 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,160 briefly, the Reia grant um is helping we 150 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,080 have 98 stationary plans that we've 151 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,440 certified in our area and counting. We 152 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,640 continue to do that as you know every 153 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080 meeting. And this is we see this as the 154 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,000 next step in getting towards 155 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,840 implementing those plans that we're 156 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,600 doing here. So we have specialized 157 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,840 consultants who can help us identify 158 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,400 financing strategies to move towards 159 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,080 implementation. So it's really exciting 160 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640 for us at WFRC that we were awarded this 161 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,800 grant which we feel like really helps us 162 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,320 continue that that centers work that 163 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,960 we're doing to make sure that these get 164 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,520 implemented. Um that's the one big 165 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000 change, million-dollar change. Um and 166 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,280 then we also every year uh we get an 167 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,840 updated number from the Federal Transit 168 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,320 Administration. As you know, our 169 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,720 consolidated planning grant has three 170 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,600 kinds of federal funds in it and this 171 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Federal Transit Administration we uh 172 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,880 received an updated number. Um it was 173 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,480 $25,000 more than what we had initially 174 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,400 had estimated and so that's good news 175 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,880 and so it's here incorporated under the 176 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,600 revenue side. And so we just 177 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,080 incorporated that as soon as we get that 178 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,320 estimate from from UDot uh and so that's 179 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,040 why we included it here. So those are 180 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,880 the two changes to the budget. That 181 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,760 means that the total budget is now 11.8 182 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440 which you can see is very similar to 183 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,560 this time a year ago when it was 12.2. 184 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,400 So typical our our initial budget is 185 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000 about in that range um and I'm happy to 186 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,440 answer any questions about any of the specific lines. I wanted to note 187 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,160 that we've also 188 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,040 included that Reia grant into the UPWP. 189 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,200 So the summary was changed only in that 190 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,160 way. We added one 191 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840 small sentence to reflect this work that 192 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,440 we're now going to be doing under the 193 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,040 REA grant. 194 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,040 Um 195 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,840 That's good news when we get more 196 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,000 revenue. So 197 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,800 >> Yeah, more revenue and not from 198 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,720 taxpayers. Well, 199 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,440 I know this is 200 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,000 >> our local taxpayers, I guess. 201 00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,840 >> That's just why I like doing 202 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,480 governmental finance at WFRC because 203 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,200 it's not relying on tax money.
