BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT): Strengths Provides funding for infrastructure projects at a low rate. Projects included are the 39th Street Project costs (additional funding needs due to approved project scope changes after 2014 bonding cycle), the Inwood Booster Station Project, the Eagle Point Street Reconstruction Project (100% assessment project) and some equipment purchases. Weaknesses None identified. Opportunities Ability to complete the Inwood Line of the water “loop” in 2015 and provide water and sewer to new development areas of the City. Threats If developments are delayed or do not materialize, the enterprise fund may not be able to independently fund the debt service payments on the infrastructure bonding.
