The committee went on to spend considerable time discussing the
chart entitled "Preliminary Project Cost by Funding Source,, "
which spreads responsibility for downtown improvements among
various beneficiaries . The intent, as explained by Hinman, is to
"let the private sector do the job" to the largest possible extent.
The urban renewal agency could be used as an interim source of
funding for many improvements later charged to benefitting properties.
Other objectives of the funding plan were explained as follows:
-- to maximize the use of funds available from other sources (nor-
tax
nontax increment sources) ;
- - to use urban renewal agency funds primarily for those projects
offering a district-wide benefit; and
-- to gear the urban renewal effort to improving the "infrastructure"
of downtown, thereby removing obstacles to private development .
Proposed projects and funding sources were designated for further
discussion at the cortimittee 's NE1`T MEETING:
