Budget Commentary Historically, the revenue to this fund had been primarily excess increment and interest with transfers from the General Fund. A transfer was made in 2012 and 2013 for the Conduit Debt revenue received in 2011 and 2012 from the Presbyterian Homes project. The tax increment excess funding source ended in 2015 with the dercertification of TIF District #2 (Round Lake Road). Transfers from the General Fund are now the prime funding source. An administrative charge was established in 2008 and all funds are charged back for overhead costs associated with Administration, Finance and Administrative Services, and Government Building departments in the General Fund. Other costs such as auditing, financial software, IT, and insurance have been allocated to this fund also.
