However, that tax rate was not sufficient to fund the operating costs and capital expenditures, and therefore the funds accumulating in the general amenities fund were used, not for amenities, but to subsidize the tax rate. Growth at some point would slow due to broader economic conditions, and eventually the tax rate would have to reflect the actual costs of running the city.
It includes adding sidewalk infill to address gaps in sidewalk infrastructure that have a significant safety concern for pedestrians, in many cases for students going to and from schools.
