plan to move on down the priority list and choose the next priorities in line. This change will
result in $110,000 plus some additional funds made available by the Legislature and some reserve
funds for a total of $247,979, which allows them to fully fund priorities 8, 9, and 10, indicated on

do preliminary engineering of right-of-way.
