The surcharge rate is exactly the same as it was for FY 2012. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The District submitted its request for FY 2013 to the Bureau of the Budget and Management Research. Overall, FY 2013 revenues have increased by $1,575,382.00 or 65.1% from FY 2012. Revenue from the surcharge is anticipated at $1,710,000.00 and represents 42.8% of the total budget. The surcharge revenue has increased by $24,382.00 or 1.4% from FY 2012. Other revenue increased from FY 2012 by $1,881,100.00 primarily due to restricted grants received for special projects related to the Healthy Harbor Initiative, including funds for JF Water Wheel, the Chase Pier design, monitoring and report card. The BBMR has concerns about the sustainability of the assessment amounts driving the surcharge income.

The Fiscal 2013 budget shows a 49% reduction in grant funding awarded to the CVCBD. The organization is currently seeking additional grant funding to support their initiatives; final decisions regarding the award amount were not available at the time this budget was developed. The FY 2013 budget includes utilizing $65,000.00 from the CVCBD reserves to support operating expenses. The BBMR has concerns about the sustainability of the assessment amounts driving the surcharge income. Given the current economic climate, the Bureau would anticipate reduced property assessments in the future and correspondingly, reduced surcharge revenue.

The period of the agreement is effective upon Board approval through December 31, 2014 unless terminated or renegotiated by either party.

AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $200,000.00 ­ 2042-000000-1474-165700-603013 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: This license agreement authorizes the City to attach its facilities to the BGE poles. The total attachment and occupancy fees will be based upon the number of poles for which the BGE issues licenses to the City. This agreement also includes all prior pole licenses with the BGE, superseding prior individual licensing agreements which had higher prices. This agreement enables the City to manage a fiber-optic communications network within the State of Maryland. This will allow the City to place and maintain equipment on the BGE poles for construction and operation of an advanced telecommunications broadband network for the provision of advanced telecommunications capabilities. This fiber may be utilized to serve some of the City's telecommunication needs as Baltimore City migrates to VOIP. The City's use of the BGE poles and conduits is part of the One Maryland Broadband Network (OMBN), a planned 1,294 mile fiber optic broadband network that will link 1,006 government facilities and community "anchor institutions" in every county in the state, while interconnecting and extending three in- 61 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 06/13/2012 MOIT ­ cont'd dependent networks: networkMaryland, the statewide network operated by DoIT; the Inter-County Broadband Network (ICBN), a consortium of 10 central Maryland counties and cities, including Baltimore, and the Maryland Broadband Cooperative, a rural non- profit carrier.

The contract with Verizon, MD was approved by the Board of Estimates on March 8, 2012. Verizon and BGE will work in collaboration on all poles. The OMBN will be built with $115,240,581.00 in grant funding awarded in September 2010 through the Federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program.

More than 100 façade improvement projects have been funded by the DPOB since 2002. To date, the total amount of matching funds paid to FIP recipients is $1,576,218.59.
