Agenda Item Summary: The Office of Educational Facilities is recommending the removal of the building generator system projects scheduled for installation in various schools in 2018. Upon further review of the proposed generator projects after the installation of notification technology to detect the degredation of temperature levels by the Office of Food and Nutrition Services, we recommend transferring $863,500 in funds to the CIP Reserve Account from school projects outlined in the attached memo. Following this recommended transfer, the CIP Reserve Account balance would increase to $1,121,492.
Background: On December 7, 2017, the School Board authorized the establishment of a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) reserve account which provides an additional option for CIP Budget Transfers. This reserve account allows the School Board to move budgeted funds between capital accounts through the below two-step process:

1. The School Board approves budget transfers from specific project account lines to the CIP Reserve Account.
2. The School Board later approves budget transfers from the CIP Reserve Account back to other specific project account lines.
As necessary, on at least a quarterly basis, ACPS staff provides recommendations to the School Board to move funding in and out of the CIP Reserve Account.

Prior to this recommended transfer, the CIP Reserve Account has a balance of $257,992 from previously-approved transfers to and from the account.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approves this budget transfer request totaling $863,500 from auxiliary electrical power supply projects at various schools to the CIP Reserve Account.
