SECTION 2 — Illustrative Expenditure Framework Expenditures mapped to DDA implementation activities. Mill levy → operations & programming (pay-as-you-go). TIF → capital investment & incentives (bondable). Parking → parking system operations, capital, and related DDA investments (segregated). Actual allocations subject to annual board-approved budget and IGA requirements.

Mill Levy → Operations & Programming (pay-as-you-go; mill levy cannot be pledged for bonds in a Colorado DDA) in 1,000 Staffing, board support, financial management, consultant transition, IGA compliance, audit, financial reporting, predevelopment planning Storefront grants, technical assistance, Business Support & District Programming, Activation multilingual outreach, vacancy activation, seasonal programming, public art, & Events placemaking, district identity Enhanced cleaning & upkeep above city Supplemental Maintenance & Stewardship baseline service level

TIF → Capital Investment & Incentives (property and sales tax TIF are bondable sources) Low range = 1% sales tax growth | High range = city projection growth. Expenditure ranges reflect what is deployable after maintaining adequate reserves for future bonding. TIF participation agreements allow DDA to commit future increment from a specific project back to that project to improve feasibility — available from formation without requiring accumulated revenues.
