This project is included in the 2018 Bond Program Fund.Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until
debt is issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the statement
expressing official intent to reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election(Ordinance No.23209-05-2018)
and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council.
Approval of recommendation 3 would adjust appropriations between a programmable project and convert the 2018 Bond Railroad THE at
Riverside Drive project(City Project No. 104004)into a static capital project.This action is needed as future funding for the 2018 Bond Railroad
THE at Riverside Drive Project is anticipated from other funding sources and the scope of this project differs from that of the current programmable
project.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
