There was discussion regarding the 2013 Street Improvement Bonds that will be paid partially
from special assessments and partial from a special levy; the amount of the Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) bond issue for 2013 being determined by the cost of land acquisitions being
negotiated; the HRA levy increase in 2014 for the first time in several years; with the acquisition
of Brookdale Square the EDA should be able to consider Opportunity Site redevelopment
concepts in 2014; raising funds from private donations is becoming increasingly more difficult as
