FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost of the recommended action for the remainder of FY 2016-17 is approximately $705; $21 in NCC. The total estimated year-over-year costs for FYs 2017-18 and 2018-19 are approximately $47,559 ($1,370 in NCC) and $34,922 ($1,006 in NCC), respectively, which includes the related retirement cost. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues will be included in the affected departments’ adopted budgets and will be included in future budget requests.
