Summary
The CDC wants to issue roughly $39 million in sales tax revenue bonds over 30 years to fund a prioritized list of park projects — rec center renovation, pickleball expansion, athletic complexes, and aquatic upgrades — instead of funding them piecemeal. Both boards agreed on the 30-year structure with intent to pay off early; final numbers come in June.

Impact analysis
About $2.5 million a year in debt service paid from CDC sales tax revenue — no property tax increase, but roughly $17 million more interest over 30 years vs. 20.
Residents get faster delivery of long-promised rec center, courts, and park upgrades before construction costs climb further.
Future CDC budgets will carry a $2.5 million annual debt payment, limiting flexibility for smaller projects if sales tax dips.
