The match was presented as 99% of the total project cost, but should actually have listed as 93%. The conservation futures award does not change. At meeting of the Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight Committee on November 13, 2018, an absolute majority of members voted to approve these changes. FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The explicit purpose of the Conservation Futures Program is to fund acquisition projects to support a system of public open spaces. There is no impact to the General Fund for either of the requested changes. The Conservation Futures allocation to the project remains $140,000. Jefferson Land Trust is the project sponsor and is responsible for providing the matching contribution.
