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.

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.
