Mr. Clark replicd Mr. Inman had done this analysis, but they assumed an expenditure cost of I million and new revenue of2.5 million, Councilmember Holden asked if this was based on the additional staff and recreational needs that would be required, Mr. Clark responded that had not been taken into consideration and they were looking at the base operational needs only, He indicated the idea was not to say this was a definitive25 percent reduction, but rather there was a large enough of a gap between revenues and expenditures that the TCAAP project would not affect existing tax payers when, and if, a TlF district is removed.
