The schedule describes the Mile High allocation as “Project Expense General,” Derby’s as “Outside Services Derby” and Prairie Gateway’s as “MDA Expense General”; it does not identify specific work or deliverables for those line items.
The Oct. 19 meeting agenda schedules a public hearing on the proposal.

Those are proposed steps; the budget has not yet been adopted.
