Hold Public Hearing on the Redevelopment Agency’s and Housing Authority’s 1997-98 Budgets. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 286 adopting the final Operating Budgets for 1997-98. ITEM EXPLANATION: The table below compares the budgets of the three elements that are part of the Redevelopment Agency’s Operating Budget. 96-97 97-98 Current Proposed Budget Budnet % Increase /Decrease) Operations Low & Moderate Housing Debt Service $607,146 $476,561 <21.5%> 132,141 125,961 <4.7%> 1,074,700 1,081,000 0.6% $1,813.987 $1,683,522 <7.2%> The total budget has decreased for 1997-98 by approximately $130,500 or 7.2%, mainly the result of a decrease in interdepartmental costs charged to the Operations budget. Estimated revenues for the Agency are shown below: Operations Low & Moderate m Debt Service Total Tax Increment 0 $300,000 $1,200,000 $1,500,000 Interest 0 50,000 100,000 150,000 Rental Income & Other 113,300 0 0 113.300 TOTAL $113,300 $350,000 $1,300,000 $1,763,300 Total revenues to the Agency are budgeted at approximately $1.8 million, with the primary source of funds being the property tax increment revenues which are budgeted at $1.5 million. There is essentially no change over the projected 1996-97 revenues. As required, 20% of the total tax increment revenues have been set aside for Low and Moderate Income Housing. The Section 8 Housing programs are funded through the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Housing Section 8 Operating Budget totals $3.1 million which is $182,000 less than the current budget, based upon a decrease in revenues from HUD. PAGE TWO OF AGENDA BILL NO. as 0 FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impacts of the proposed Operating Budgets are detailed in the attached pages. Redevelopment Agency operations and Low and Moderate Income Housing are funded from the property tax increment for the redevelopment area. Low and Moderate Income Housing receives 20% of the property tax increment, with the remaining 80% used for debt service and operations. The Housing Section 8 fund receives sufficient Federal funds to cover housing program expenses. Additionally, the full cost of administrative services provided by the City General fund is included in the 1997-98 Housing Section 8 budget. However, in past years this fund has not had sufficient resources to pay for these services. Therefore, the amount included in the 1997-98 budget may need to be reduced based upon the availability of funds. The unreimbursed General fund costs represent a subsidy from the City to support Housing Section 8 programs. In the past, this subsidy has been approximately $160,000 per year. EXHIBITS: 1.
