Fiscal Impact and Source:

Because this bond was initially budgeted for earlier budget years, it did not add anything to FY 23-24 expenses.  Current estimates are that when the bond debt service is applied to the full FY 24-25 budget year, it will add roughly $155,000 to that years budget, although the increase will be partially offset by decreases to debt service on other bonds, resulting in an estimated overall increase of roughly $120,000 in FY 24-25.

Effective Date if Applicable: 09-11-2023
