Proposed Changes in The Citizens Bond Advisory Committee Spending Plan
Fri., Aug. 7, 1998
All figures in thousands
The Slusher/Spelman/Watson proposal includes some reorganization and redistribution of projects which is not reflected here.
Both council options now involve funding some projects with money from the operating fund, rather than with a bond issue; these figures reflect total funding.
