August 6, 2012 (Work Session) Page 1185 Each year, there are projects that need to be transitioned to the new fiscal year. Projects were not budgeted for FY 2013 because they were underway (or delayed after the budget had been submitted) and anticipated to be completed before year -end. The majority of the projects submitted in August are purchases or contracts that have been initiated, but not completed at year end. In September, an additional list of projects will be provided that are primarily grant related. The amounts of these re- appropriations cannot be determined until the books are closed in early August. Included with this year's re- appropriations is a contract with Ike's Construction for the Harrisburg Park Concession Stand and Announcing Booth.
