Respectfully submitted Chad Nabity Director Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/29/2015 Page 7 / 16 Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) Wednesday, July 29, 2015 Regular Meeting Item K1 Budget Staff Contact: Chad Nabity Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/29/2015 Page 8 / 16 July 21, 2015 From: Chad Nabity, AICP Director To:CRA Board Re: 2015-2016 Budget Enclosed you will find the 2015-2016 CRA Budget. The 2015-2016 CRA Budget is presented with projected revenue from taxes of $732,050 the levy from last year is being retained and includes about $534,000 for CRA purposes including grants, façade improvements, committed projects and staffing as well as $198,050 for Lincoln Park Pool. This budget does project $100,000 of revenue for property sales during the upcoming year but has enough flexibility to accomplish all of budgeted activities without this occurrence. The budget includes $350,000 for façade improvement. I am anticipating some significant requests on a couple of different projects. I am suggesting we budget $200,000 for property acquisitions, the same amount that we budgeted this past year. This budget also includes $200,000 for downtown life safety improvements along with a carryover of $85,000 of funds that have not yet been designated for this year. This program was intended to run for 5 years with $100,000 contributed annually from both the CRA and the City. I am suggesting that we put $450,000 in the other projects line. This money could be shifted to property purchase, grants or façade improvements depending on the need. Budgeting money in other projects makes it possible for the CRA to consider projects like heating the sheep barn at Fonner Park or helping pay for the demolition of the Aurora Coop buildings. This is the first look you have had at the budget and I appreciate your attention to it. We did change the line item for Building Improvement to Committed Projects Carryover to more accurately describe what this line contains. I am anticipating that we will payout $455,000 of committed projects during this fiscal year and $368,000 during the next year. Please let me know if you have any additional feedback on the budget as presented.
