Revenues for 2024 have not been finalized.
Notes:
1) Amounts received from 2001-2005 were accounted for in the General Fund. In 2006 a separate fund was established for
the Community Enhancement monies. A transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $235,309 was made to establish
the new Community Enhancement Fund. Because of an oversight, the amount transferred was $2,000 more than the actual
amounts received from 2001 -2005.
2) In 2007, the Town budgeted $60,000 for purchasing wind power. It was subsequently learned that the use of Community
Enhancement funds was not allowed for this purpose. Subsequently, $26,252 was used for an energy audit of the Town's
facilities.
3) The Nottingham Park Pavilion project for which Community Enhancment funds were approved in the amount of
$200,000, was subsequently removed from the Town's long-range CIP program due to the cost of the project and lack of
Town funds available. A total of $40,000 in Community Enhancement funds was used for the design cost, with the remainec
turned back as unused.
4) The US Hwy 6 Trail undergrounding project has been delayed due to high project costs related to the Eagle Valley Trails
projects.
5) The Mall Improvement Project was delayed due to the impending development of Lot 61.
6) The original proposal to extend the Town's Heat Recovery system along the length of the Mall and connect with the
Wyndham and Avon Station was re-evaluated during the process for approving the Wyndham development on Lot 61.
