State Highway Account May Revise Impact Forecast • Budget changes that affect the SHA cash forecast: • $184M TCRF loan repayment – Reduced to $20M. • $300M capital appropriation contingent upon ethanol fix. • Increase in State Operations • $52.5M for Maintenance • $174.9M for Capital Outlay Support • $17.5M for miscellaneous support items • Does not assume revenues resulting from the renegotiation of tribal gaming compacts (Budget Bill Section 16). Section 16 was deleted from the final Budget Act. • The SHA forecast assumes that the ethanol impact is fully mitigated.
Uncertainties in the Forecast • A budget agreement has been reached, but items such as trailer bills and other budget related legislation are not final, and could change the forecast. • The amount of future federal funds for 2004-05 and beyond is still being deliberated by Congress. • The great deal of uncertainty surrounding some of our major revenue sources indicates a need for a prudent allocation plan. • The plan on the following page begins with an even, moderate, rate of gross allocations, so that we can re-assess our situation in December, when more information will be available.
PTA and TCRF Forecasts • No known changes to the proposed May Revise have affected the forecasts for the PTA and TCRF. • The following forecasts assume the implementation of all items contained in the budget agreement. • Do not assume revenues resulting from the renegotiation of tribal gaming compacts (Budget Bill Section 16). Section 16 was deleted from the final Budget Act.
