According to TGOV at an 11:30 meeting, the Council has approved a $464 million, 6 1/2 year, third penny sales tax extension for capital improvements.  It includes the Mayor's proposal plus significant additional funding for downtown, a youth soccer complex near Mohawk Park, pools, and economic development.  It eliminates the boardwalk on the river and the Towerview Apt. acquisition.

The final documents are being drafted for review and final action tomorrow.
