Expenditures from this fund include a transfer to the General Fund equal to one- third of the
City' s share of the revenue. This transfer helps offset the amount needed from property
taxes to support general government operations. Additionally, funding is included for the
airport revenue sharing obligations and equipment replacement funding as mentioned
previously. Capital funding for the aquatics park and natatorium improvements and a
transfer to CIP for future projects are also included.
