Ordinance No.10, 2000, has been revised. The project managers met on February 4, 2000, and
decided that money for the Four Comers and Walnut Street projects would have more flexibility
if the amounts of money for the projects were transferred to the City capital projects fund. This
helps the project managers because the appropriation does not lapse at year-end. Due to the need
to coordinate these projects with several other downtown area improvements, there is some
possibility that these two projects may not be completed by December 31, 2000. This ordinance
has also been revised to lower tbe-egimate&2000 debt service-nests from $80,000 to $50,000.
Annual debt service payments for ensuing years will e iaeluded in the annual appropriations
ordinance.
