Budget Issues
Priorities from the Board of County
Commissioners:
- Reduce Murdock Village debt and
develop a re-payment plan for the
remaining debt
- Consider delay of Capital Projects to help
fund operations during reduced revenues
from Amendment 1 and potential
de-valuations
5
The Approach
Re-think each Ad Valorem funded project
in the Adopted FY07/08 CIP
Putting projects into the following
categories:
1. Projects Eliminated
2. Projects Delayed
3. Projects Continued
6
Projects Eliminated
Projects that are suspended and budgeted
dollars can be re-directed for Murdock
debt pay-down or revenue shortfall
7
Projects Delayed
Projects that will be delayed (moved out
of the CIP for FY07/08) and re-directed
for Murdock pay-down or revenue
shortfall.
Delay includes re-thinking and reengineering
Delay period: 1-4 years
How will projects get re-funded?
- capital millage rate .3887 - $7M
8
Projects Continued
Currently in construction
Safety or ADA Issues
Concurrency
9
How much to re-direct?
Goal - $22 Million
- $11 M for Murdock pay-down
- $11 M for Revenue shortfall
Redirection comes from eliminated
and delayed projects
