Analysis
Sales tax revenue for the Baseball Stadium expired in September 2015. This revenue supported all debt service payments (principal and interest) on the bond proceeds to construct the baseball facility and grounds. Final debt payments were paid in full on August, 2015. Professional accounting standards require that this Special Revenue Fund be closed and the remaining fund balance may be committed for other uses as approved by the City Council. City management's recommendation is to use the remaining funds for future operations and maintenance of the existing facility and grounds.
This item was presented to the Finance and Government Committee on October 11, 2016 for their approval.
