Issues/Analysis: Staff has reviewed the proposed changes and finds them to be fair and reasonable.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the General CIP Fund / Parks & Recreation / Improvements O/T Building (#301-7210-563000-00000).
Special Consideration: Amendment #3 was originally not presented to Council due to being below the amendment threshold requiring Council approval of $99,999.99, per the Code of Port St. Lucie 35.35.09(b). Amendment #4, combined with Amendment #3, does exceed the threshold needed for Council approval and therefore, both amendments are being presented to Council for approval.
