The town of Terry began 2016 with an unreserved balance of $15 million in its street repair fund, a capital projects fund. At the start of the year, the city council appropriated $9 million to reconstruct portions of the roadbed for two of its major roads-Main Street and Koeller Avenue. Shortly after, the town signed contracts with two construction companies to perform the repairs for a total of $9 million. During the year, the town received bills from the construction companies as follows:
a. $4.8 million for the entire cost of repairs to Main Street. This amount is $0.3 higher than expected due to design changes approved by the town. The town did not encumber the additional $0.3 million.
b. $3.0 million, representing a progress billing for repairs to Koeller Avenue, which were not completed at the end of 2016.
At the beginning of 2017, the town reappropriated the remaining $1.5 million for the Koeller Avenue repairs. During the year, the town received this bill:
c. $0.1 million, representing the final billing for the Koeller Avenue repairs. The final cost was $0.5 million less than anticipated.
