§ 3.23.170. Expenditure plan.


Latest version.
  • The proceeds of the tax created by this chapter shall be used to fund police and fire services in the city. The proceeds of the tax will be divided equally among police and fire services. The proceeds will be dedicated to the development and improvement of a well-equipped and well-staffed fire department and police department. The proceeds can be used for the purchase of fire and police equipment and for personnel costs for both departments. If the city decides to issue bonds, the proceeds would be used to repay the principal and interest on bonds issued for the purchase of public safety equipment and/or capital improvements for public safety. The bond proceeds could be used for the development, design, acquisition of real property, construction, operation, and maintenance of any future capital projects for police and fire. Also, the bond proceeds may be used to repay the costs of debt issuance. The term "development" is to include all land acquisition, permitting, architectural design, engineering, construction management fees, construction costs, fixtures, furnishing and equipment, and all other related costs and expenses. The plan also contemplates payment of the costs associated with issuance of the bonds, from the bond proceeds, and the reimbursement of all costs advanced by the city, prior to the issuance of the bonds.
