Book Description

Excerpt from Public Improvements Program, 1962: Elizabeth City, North Carolina The purpose of the Public Improvements Program is to present a staging in logical sequence of the Public Improvements needed during the planning period extending to 1980. These improvements, which include such facilities as schools, fire stations, parks and utilities, were proposed and detailed in the Community Facilities Plan. In this report each improvement is listed according to the anticipated year it will be needed based upon trends in City growth and development. Priorities are not suggested within the year group. Improvements which involve both purchase of land and development of facilities are listed as separate items because of the necessity of pur chasing the site in advance of providing improvements. Some improvements are divided into several stages, because the entire improvement is not needed at once, or because of the necessity of financing it over a period longer than a year. Financing the proposed improvements is largely a public responsibility to be ad ministered through various agencies of the City and County Governments. The finane ing method most often used in this report is Current Revenue. Current Revenue in this instance reflects not only the current operating budget, but also any reserves on hand whether accumulated from taxes levied for special projects or from reserves accumulated over a period through savings in the operating budget. Whenever possible, the Current Revenue method of financing is recommended because it is generally more acceptable to the Public than Bonds and it is usually more economical. However, when the cost of a project, or series of projects, is too great for Current Revenue, Bonds are recommend ed as a means of financing.
