SUMMARY: $500,000.00 in TID funding and $500,000.00 in local match funds, for a total estimated
construction cost of $1,000,000.00. It should also be noted that engineering and inspection
costs will likely not be covered under the grant application and be in addition to the listed
construction costs. With this new TID funding opportunity, the Finance Director is currently
analyzing the existing 5-year financial plan and local cash resources to secure the necessary
estimated local funds for this project. In order to formalize this plan and secure the local funds
for this project, a formal budget amendment would also be required to be adopted by City
Council. A 2nd budget amendment would also be later required, if and when, the City were to
receive a grant award.
