Spending $18.5M in Vision economic development surplus funds
Summary
The committee debated how to allocate roughly $18.5 million left over from the 2017 Vision sales tax, with proposals ranging from utility assistance and after-school programs to a Brookside parking garage. Councilors clashed over whether the process was fair and whether money is spread too district-by-district; decisions may come next week.

Impact analysis
Roughly $18.5 million in one-time funds is on the table, with about $5 million tied to time-sensitive projects.
Depends on final choices — could be residents needing utility help, kids in after-school programs, Brookside shoppers, or golfers.
Districts without projects on the current list, and any project cut to fund another, could lose out.
