Chapter 11 Implementation Plan 127
D O W N T O W N T AV A R E S R E D E V E L O P ME N T MA S T E R P L A N IMPLEMENTATION PLAN This section shows how the Master Plan translates to a phased series of implementation projects and breaks down anticipated costs for design and construction of capital projects as well as further plans and regulatory activities. The City has done an outstanding job in securing funds and grants to pay for projects in the CRA. For example, the City s CRA Ruby Street & Stormwater Improvement Park is such a project that the City sought funding from various sources to support the construction, and minimize cost to city taxpayers. This implementation program provides the planning and design necessary to complete construction of all major improvements planned for on the CRA. The community should understand that the City, working with other government entities, will be pursuing multiple elements of the Plan at all times. It is important to note that the following capital improvement plan is flexible in nature. It is the best estimate of project costs based on a measure of the order of magnitude for projects in relation to anticipated revenues. As a matter of practice the City will continue to prepare annual budgets as well as establishing one, three and five-year work programs for budgetary and administrative purposes. Ultimately project costs will be refined during the design and construction phase of any given project. The Capital Improvement Strategies are used for short-term, and long-range planning purposes. The Capital Improvement Strategies are not a guarantee of expenditure of funds on a given project in a given year. Actual funding allocations will be determined annually through the City s budget process. As priorities change, the capital improvement strategies are amended. Managed correctly, funds from the City and CRA can be leveraged through grants and commercial financing to accomplish a substantial number of capital improvements and planning activities. When successful, the City should see a substantial increase in the tax base and realize a healthy return on its investment through increased ad valorem revenues, sales tax receipts and other formulated revenue sharing programs.

DOWNTOWN TAVARES REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PL AN The Downtown Tavares Master Plan contains several projects consisting of public, private and joint public/private efforts, as described in previous sections of this Master Plan that will take years for completion. Therefore, it is critical that the City incorporates a sound project implementation strategy when identifying priorities. The following 5-year capital implementation plan sets forth recommendations concerning major project priorities and possible funding sources. This should be updated every five years while the master plan itself should be revisited every decade. Fiscal year (FY ) begins on at the beginning of October and ends at the end of September of the subject year. For example, FY 2019 begins on October 1, 2018 and ends on September 30, 2019.
