provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to actually make any interim progress payments until debt is
issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement
expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).

approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.
