∙ The Fiscal Year 2022 carry-over budget includes $867,419.56 of intergovernmental revenue from municipal project partners from the initial 14 (Round 1) projects to offset costs borne by the SMC. Additional intergovernmental revenues from project partners will be received after the execution of the remaining project intergovernmental agreements.
∙ SMC receives Project Expense Match (PEM) revenue from its partners on the DCEO grant-funded projects to offset the administrative burden that SMC undertakes in being the primary lead with the grantor. The bulk of PEM funding was budgeted in Engineering Consultants, in the professional services budget category, in the FY2023 Adopted Budget. A line item transfer will be required to move the appropriate amount to cover these salaries into the personnel budget category at a subsequent meeting, once the approximate amount for these positions is determined.
