Twoplane.....that's enough to blow my mind. It looks to me like the increase has to be mostly in road construction, fire stations, jail, etc. But, without spending many hours studying the numbers it's tough to follow what's happening. The chart on page 8 shows capital projects funds much lower for 2019 than in 2018. But, the "special revenue" category goes up more than enough to offset that. A bit of a shell game there, perhaps. My biggest concern is whether the Villages developer is covering a fair share of the cost of the many new roads and road improvements needed to support the new development.
