Amendment #2 proposed four bookkeeping actions:
Action 1: Transfer $13,885.31 from Subtask 1.3 (Unified Planning Work Program) and $11,000 Subtask 3.4 (Regional Vitality) to Subtask 1.1 (Program Management, Support, and Growth), resulting in a balance of $61,168.04 in 1.1, $500 in 1.3, and $1,603.92 in 3.4 (see also, Action 4).
Action 2: Transfer $5,543.69 from Subtask 2.3 (Supportive GIS and Information Technology) to Subtask 1.4 (Transportation Improvement Program), resulting in a level balance for Subtask 1.4 and a remainder of $145,368.09 in Subtask 1.2.
Action 3: Transfer the balance of $33,777.08 from Subtask 2.4 (Travel Time Reliability and Competitiveness) and the balance of $12,282.22 (Benchmarks and Performance Measures) to Subtask 4.2 (Local Technical Assistance), effectively closing out Subtasks 2.4 (main deliverable shifted to FFY25) and 2.5 (task complete).
Action 4 Rationale: Subtask 4.1 supports as-needed requests from the state and county, typically related to training, review of documents, and assistance with grant review. This year, staff supported the review of MassDOT’s community transit grant applications, which causes slight overdraw of budgeted funds. This action reallocates funding from Subtask 3.4 (Regional Vitality). Due to staffing limitations in the Community and Economic Development Program, budget allocated toward the Commission’s Priority Growth Strategy may be reallocated elsewhere, as is proposed here.
