With the additional carry forward request, the total capital carry forward funding will be $1.090 billion, and the total Council approved 2021 tax and rate supported Capital Budget including previously approved carry forward amount will be $5.319 billion.

Approval of these requests are needed as City Council's authority is required to continue with the project delivery.
