anchorFiscal Note
In FY22, $250,000 slipped from FY24 to FY25 for fiscal capacity. The fiscal note has been updated to reflect a ($1,530,000) reduction in FY25 Program Open Space funding to account for the lower Program Open Space allocation received from State. Program Open Space funds were shifted one year to accommodate the reduction in FY25. $1,530,000 in Program Open Space was shifted from FY26 to FY28 to align with the actual State allocation for FY26.
