Capital Project 2020 Why Now? Cost: $28,700,000 Funding: • Building aid (55% of this project) • Construction costs will increase if we wait • Increase cost of borrowing • Possible leveraging of Smart Bond funds • Spread the cost of construction over 15 years (maintenance versus Capital Project) • Anticipated resulting tax increase would be approximately $120 - $10 per month per $100,000 of assessed value (Based on the 2018-19 assessments and equalization rates.
