Council Member Julie Won inquires about the difference between the MOCS fiscal year 2026 preliminary OTPS budget and the fiscal year 2025 adopted budget. Lisa Flores and Helga Nyanffor explain the reasons for the $500,000 decrease, including:
- Some initiatives were prorated for the current fiscal year and baselined in future years
- A one-time $500,000 allocation for Passport capital enhancement in the current year
- Increases for managerial staff (GWI) in the upcoming year
- The net result is primarily due to the one-time Passport capital enhancement fee dropping off

Okay.
1:22:40
For the MOX fiscal year twenty six preliminary OTPS budget, it's approximately $500,000 so half a million dollars less than fiscal year twenty five adopted OTPS budget.
1:22:50
What is the reason for this difference and what OTPS costs aren't funded in fiscal year twenty six that are included in fiscal year twenty five?
1:22:58
Is there any underspending as well in the current year?
Lisa Flores
1:23:01
You, Chairwon.
1:23:02
I believe, and I'll pass it off to Helga, is that some of those are the sort of quote unquote prorated for the fiscal year and then baselined in the the out years, but I'll refer to Helga.
Helga Nyanffor
1:23:15
Yeah.
1:23:15
So there's a a chunk of initiatives that you mentioned earlier that were prorated this year that are increased in next year, and then there are additional one time funding that drops off in next year.
1:23:28
So we had the Cap Passport capital enhancement, which was 500 k, which was only a one time amount that drops off next year.
1:23:36
And then we also have increases every year for the GWI or the the increases for managerial.
1:23:44
So there's a it's a net.
1:23:45
It's a net.
1:23:46
And the net I would say that one of the biggest factors is that one time fee for the passport capital enhancement.
