The assessment can only be used for capital improvements, acquisition of land, Proposition K Program administration and maintenance of completed projects. The cost of operating Proposition K projects as they are completed in future years will be funded by the annual operating budget adopted for City departments and with independent funding for projects operated by external entities.

A total of $5.31 million will be reimbursed to the General Fund in 2016-17 for program administration, maintenance and project delivery expenses. This funding includes both ongoing and one-time revenues that are available from funds remaining for completed Proposition K projects.

The RAP reports an annual fiscal impact of $6.99 million once active Proposition K projects, currently in various stages of development, become operational over future years. This includes $3.65 million for maintenance and $3.34 million for operations (Attachments 5 and 6 of the May 11, 2016 L.A. for Kids Steering Committee report, attached to the Council file). The fiscal impact for completed projects will be partially offset by Proposition K maintenance funding. The proposed 2015-16 maintenance award for RAP projects totals $3.26 million.
