This resolution included the projects approved at last week's worksession. $269,000 of these projects are funded from the one-time savings that were the result of the revenues exceeding the 2004 budget amounts, $136,240 for the stabilization of the Thomasville lime kilns, and various amounts to the other funds as a result of the employee bonus awards. The general fund cost of the bonuses was $41,400, so we used that surplus to fund the Emma Master plan, rather than having the attorney's budget contribute to this project. There is a balance of $4,106 that was not allocated from the 2004 surplus revenues.
