Additional General Fund personnel expenditures were necessary in order to train employees and prepare facilities for the consolidation of DCFR with the City of Durham. These expenses were for unanticipated personnel overtime and part-time costs associated with training the employees, and increased costs needed to renovate two stations for their continued use after the consolidation.
