Sales tax receipts have been modestly reduced as a result of economic <br /> conditions and state projections. Impact fees have been increased substantially to <br /> reflect current activity and fee increases. The budgeted impact fees are a straight <br /> projection based on last year's Tischler&Associates, Inc. report. The county budget <br /> office will adjust impact fee revenue projections as future development is confirmed. <br /> Additionally, a $6.2 Million Impact Fee balance exists. This balance results from impact <br /> fees accumulating at a rate greater than projections over the past few years. These <br /> funds have been included in the 2002-12 CIP. <br /> The County has also identified a financing plan that produces $11.1 Million in alternative <br /> funding for the district. The funding plan, not yet approved, was presented at the <br /> December 11, 2001 County Commissioners meeting. It is part of a major financing plan <br /> that includes the 2001 bond obligations. The proposed county financing plan is spread <br /> over a period of several years to soften the impact of higher tax rates needed to help <br /> pay for the debt. The district's $11.1 million in alternative financing is available in years <br /> 2004/05, 2007/08 and 2008/09 and is included in the 2002-12 CIP. Although we <br /> recognize that this plan has not been adopted, we used it as a starting point in <br /> preparing this CIP. The School Board may elect to request different amounts of funding <br /> under a different timeline. <br />
