ITEM # 9. <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Housing & Redevelopment Authority <br />FROM: Catherine Mehelich, Director of Economic Developmen~~/~~~ <br />DATE: August 7, 2006 <br />SUBJECT: Consider Year 2007 HRA Budget and Resolution Regarding HRA Levy <br />Attachments <br />• Budget Worksheet -Proposed 2007 HRA Revenue & Expenditures <br />• Resolution establishing the HRA tax levy for collection in year 2007 <br />Summary <br />The Economic Development Department consists of two separate budgets including: <br />• Economic Development Authority <br />• Housing & Redevelopment Authority <br />Since 2003, the EDA and HRA levies have been enough to balance the Economic <br />Development Division without General Fund revenues. HRA revenues are estimated at <br />10% growth in market value for the year 2007. In addition, 2007 revenues include a transfer <br />in from TIF District 16 in the estimated amount of $45,000 to repay the HRA for eligible <br />expenditures related to the King & Main TIF Project. <br />In 2004 the Personal Services costs (salaries and benefits) were adjusted from 70/30 percent <br />EDA and HRA respectively, to 60/40 percent due to staff time allotted to the Downtown <br />Revitalization Project. It is proposed that this continue in 2007. <br />Other common administrative expenses are proposed to be shared by the EDA and the <br />HRA. As in previous years, the HRA would make a one time transfer to the EDA in the <br />amount of $3,500 to cover approximately 37% of the shared expenses. The shared expenses <br />include the following items: <br />• Office supplies <br />• Fuels <br />• Telephone <br />• Travel, conference & schools <br />
