During a recent government meeting, budget planning took center stage as officials discussed the remaining funds for the fiscal year. Miss Monteleone reported that, pending approval of a specific item, the remaining budget would total $185,974. She emphasized that this amount would not carry over into the next fiscal year but would instead be returned to the county administrator's budget for allocation to various projects across Hillsborough County.

The meeting highlighted the urgency of utilizing these funds before the year-end deadline. A special call was convened to explore options for spending the remaining budget effectively. One significant proposal discussed was an additional $90,000 funding request for FKQ, aimed at enhancing previously approved projects. Representatives from FKQ were present to address any inquiries regarding the scope of work associated with this funding.

Miss D. Bernado provided further details on how the additional funds would be allocated, focusing on enhancing primary channels and improving outdoor facilities, as well as collaborating with local partners. The initiative aims to ensure comprehensive coverage for upcoming large conferences and events in the Tampa area, reflecting the county's commitment to maximizing the impact of its budget before the fiscal year concludes.
