Rationale:
|
As required by the Yonkers Public Schools Board of Education, this is a request to amend approved July 20, 2022 resolution approved in the original amount awarded as $49,315,557.60.
The second amendment, which occurred on June 21, 2023, incorporated a 3.5% increase due to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), resulting in an additional $3,661,043.90. This adjustment brought the new total balance to $52,976,601.50.
In the current amendment, we are seeking an increase of 1,470,298.50, which would bring the new adjusted balance to $54,446,900.00.
