Agenda Analysis

Analysis

 

This resolution effectively reduces the authority to issue general obligation bonds and the spending authority provided in 12 previous capital spending plan resolutions by approximately $14,316,470. Various previously approved capital projects in initial resolutions (capital spending plans) were completed or are on target for completion at a cost less than the originally authorized amount resulting in the savings. The savings is recognized by this deauthorization resolution.
