BACKGROUND In the 2009 capital budget process, the John Noble Home was approved for two separate projects to cover various repairs to the Home. The Home was given a total of $75,000.00 to repair and replace various roofs as well as $175,000.00 to replace air conditioning units and to conduct environmental upgrades to tunnels. Currently the cost estimate to repair and replace the roofs needing work is estimated at $95,490.00 and the cost to complete the air conditioning unit and do environmental upgrades to tunnels is estimated at $139,400.00. A transfer of $25,000.00 from one capital project to the other is required in order to complete all projects. Funds exist between the capital projects to complete all work required.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS No overall deficit exists. A transfer between the capital projects will allow all projects to proceed.

CONCLUSION A transfer of funds between the two capital projects is required to complete all repairs and replacements within the Home. No deficit in these two capital projects will exist once the transfer is complete.
