(A) The development and tax increment financing plan for the Downtown Development Authority district as recommended by the Authority and presented at the public hearing on November 7, 1983 is hereby approved and adopted, subject to modifications hereafter set forth in division (B) of this section. (‘83 Code, § 33.119)

(C) Section 3 of the Tax Increment Financing Plan contained in the Second Amended and Restated Development Plan and Tax Increment Financing Plan of the Garden City Downtown Development Authority dated November 2006 is hereby amended to read as follows:
3. Maximum Amount of Bonded Indebtedness to be Incurred.
The DDA is currently repaying bonds issued to finance the Ford Road streetscape. Those bonds are due to be retired in 2019, as reflected in Table 4. Other than the streetscape bonds, at this time the DDA has no plans to incur any bonded indebtedness to finance the improvement program. Most improvements will be implemented on a "pay-as-you-go" basis as tax increment revenues are transmitted to the DDA, or as may be accumulated over more than one year, and held in reserve to allocate for projects.
The DDA may obtain a load to fund purchase of the library site, depending upon the favorability of terms, availability of other funds, and its decision on whether to purchase the site.
