Why the difference in dollar amounts?

For over a year, the city budgeted to spend just over $1 million to make the necessary upgrades to West Seattle Stadium. Suddenly the money is gone. Where did it go?

Now the city claims that the stadium needs $4 million in renovations or it will have to close. What is the $3 million differnce? My guess is that the $4 million includes the cost of replacing the grass with field turf and other upgrades that are not "necessary" to keep the stadium open.
