Assistant City Manager Ken Nordhoff stated all the objectives laid out in
the Redevelopment Agency Budget were on track. He pointed out one major
item that had been added, the Millennium Party, noting Agency staff was
taking the lead in doing most of the work, but the actual numbers, for both
Revenues and Expenses, would be running through the City's General Fund.
Mr. Nordhoff stated the Mid -Year Review looked at where the Agency was at
the end of the first six months, and recommended changes staff felt were
appropriate. He noted there have been some Capital Projects, particularly
related to the undergrounding and Downtown infrastructure projects that
were not completed during the last fiscal year, and those dollars have been
rolled forward into this fiscal year. He reported the expenses were
approximately $3.7 million, with off -setting Revenues of approximately $1.9
million, related to the Lindaro Street Undergrounding.
Mr. Nordhoff stated the Macy's property, which the Agency acquired a couple
of years ago, was sold during the middle of this fiscal year, and those
adjustments had also been made. He noted other adjustments to the Budget
were minor, in terms of Operating Costs, and he saw the Budget as being
able to satisfy all requirements through the end of this fiscal year. Mr.
Nordhoff reported the most significant endeavor during the next couple of
months would be extending the Redevelopment Agreement with the County, the
Schools, and the College, so we can continue to receive a tax increment to
take on the next round of projects.
Chairman Boro asked for clarification regarding the Millennium Party. Mr.
Nordhoff explained there was no cost item in the Redevelopment Agency's
budget, noting this was in the City's budget. However, the staffing level
was currently listed in the Redevelopment Agency budget, as part of Special
Events.
Member Miller moved and Member Cohen seconded, to adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 99-3 - RESOLUTION ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO THE 1998/99 BUDGET.
