Why does it appear that Jordan Family Park is still being maintained at a higher level if the benefit zone has no funding?

Residents surrounding Jordan Family Park passed an additional overlay assessment in 2009 when the initial funding shortfall in Benefit Zone 3 was identified.  As such, Benefit Zone 15 – Vista Creek, was created to maintain the park at a normal level.  We call these additional assessments “overlays" and they supplement the original benefit assessment.
