The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022) 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).

were unknown at the time of CIP development. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.
