Sec. 9. Money in the food and beverage tax receipts fund must be used by the town only for the following purposes:
(1) To reduce the town's property tax levy for a particular year at the discretion of the town, but this use does not reduce the maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 for the town.
(2) For economic development purposes, including the pledge of money under IC 5-1-14-4 for bonds, leases, or other obligations for economic development purposes.
(3) To create new parks and amenities, and to expand and enhance existing parks and amenities.
(4) To upgrade, expand, and otherwise improve the town's water, sanitary sewer, and storm water utilities.
Revenue derived from the imposition of a tax under this chapter may be treated by the town as additional revenue for the purpose of fixing its budget for the budget year during which the revenues are to be distributed to the town.
