The understanding of the community needs, the potential value added and project costs can be covered by the City Department Budgets. Since the benefit for this project is expected by current residents and will also incur to future residents, it is appropriate to consider using existing funds and/or to also seek commitment of future funds. The damage to the existing park is impairment to a current community asset. Delay or deferral of repair further damages the current community and will not meet the community's expectation that taxes have been collected and paid to maintain a park asset in a functional and undamaged state. • Future Fund Sources—The project should not be expected to wait for the collection of future sources of funds. However if fund balances are insufficient it is not unacceptable to utilize General Obligation Bonds to allow the project to proceed with payment made from future tax levies. o TIF is not an option(State Exclusion) • Project Valuation Assessment o Criteria: • Numbers of residents impacted (residents on either side and IIIIpossible destinations)
