Correct. It is operations. Prior phase houses the Sr. Engineering Tech and built meeting space for PW to use for project and administrative meetings. It was also coupled with water, sewer, storm, and general fund money. Project was listed in CIP and each budget year that work has been done.

If this is coming from Jimmy, its interesting that no objections were made by him when he was Mayor and the projects were listed in the CIP and budget he reviewed.
