"The FY 19-20 net adopted budget (all funds) of $566,586,409 is $26.6 million, or 4.9%, higher than the revised FY 18-19 budget.
The City plans to spend $143,818,005 more in 2019/2020 than 2009/2010
The Infrastructure service area is the largest service area at $296.9 million. The service area budget is $12.5 million, or 4.4% greater than the revised current year budget. This service area includes the Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, which will open in late FY 19-20 with a partial year operating budget of about $5.5 million.
...The FY 19-20 adopted budget shows a net increase of thirty-three (33) full-time equivalent (FTE) positions across all operating funds. Eleven (11) FTE positions are added in anticipation of the March 2020 opening for the Tanger Center for the Performing Arts. "
If there are no performances, the operating budget should be lower
Was taxpayer money supposed to cover the $5.5 million operating budget for Tanger
and the additional employees after borrowing $43,450,000?

Parking revenue is probably tanking, especially at the Coliseum
...The Public Safety service area increases from $145.1 million to $150.6 million.
...Within Parks and Recreation, salary funds for seasonal and roster employees increase from
$2.20 million to $2.65 million as the City continues to move these position hourly minimum salaries toward an eventual $15.00 per hour.
The Debt Service service area increases from $30.0 million to $36.4 million. The Debt Service Fund expenditures include principal and interest payments for all outstanding general obligation bonds, including bonds approved by voters in 2016.
The City is required to increase its contribution to the North Carolina Local Government Retirement System on behalf of its employees, resulting in a $2.4 million increase in retirement contribution costs.
How much are expected Retirement System contributions going to spike,
now that financial markets have crashed?
Maintenance and Operations (M/O) costs, which include transfers from operating funds to capital projects or capital reserve funds and debt service expenditures, increase from $281.7 million to $297.7 million, or about 5.7%. Principal and interest payments for various outstanding debt are a primary driver of this budget increase.
