A Water and Sewer CIP project was established in FY 2020 for modifications needed 
in preparation of the Windy Hill Boulevard project. This project was completed in a 
prior fiscal year, but the project was left open with available funds that need to be 
reallocated. 
 
During the FY 2023 budget process two CIP projects were established in the Water 
and Sewer CIP fund for Infrastructure Improvements and Lead and Copper Inventory. 
As FY 2023 has progressed, we have utilized the majority of the budgeted funds and 
need additional funding to complete these projects. We are recommending the 
remaining funds in the Windy Hill Modifications Project (52013) be split equally to 
increase the Infrastructure Improvements and Lead and Copper Inventory.  
 
Councilmember Travis Lindley made a motion to approve item ATH2023-11, an 
amendment to the Water and Sewer CIP project #52301 Infrastructure Improvements 
to increase the budget in the amount of $254,852.24, an amendment to Water and 
Sewer CIP project #52313 Lead and Copper Inventory to increase the budget in the 
amount of $254,852.23, and an amendment to the Water and Sewer CIP project 
#52013 Windy Hill Modifications to decrease the budget in the amount of $509,704.47 
and close the project; seconded by Councilmember Glenn Pickens.
