I don't see much on the list for Midtown.

Can someone explain to me the flood control bonds? My understanding is that it was needed to retain federal matching funds, correct?

But $150 million, and they're only using $1 million in the first year?

Funding not shown, but related. The LED streetlight rollout starts this year in 1st and 4th district. Has a 6 year breakeven.

EPA approved a modified consent decree. The city will get 5 extra years to complete the sewer projects (2040). It also sounds like the city will spend $1.4 billion going forward. My rough calculations show a cost savings of ~$500 million.

A new consent decree was one of the city's top priorities this year (and I assume in past years).

Understood, but that doesn't answer my question.
