through various Capital Improvement Program Funds including the 2014 Bond Program. For the 2014

for the expenditures associated with these projects until debt is issued. Once debt associated with the
projects are 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 21241-05-2014).
