AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Meeting Date: June 9, 2008
From: Kenneth L. Thomas, Director of Housing & Economic Development
Subject: Resolution accepting Carver Heights and Vicinity Community Redevelopment Agency funding of $240,000 for Kristen Court project, contingent on the City of Leesburg seeking $1.5 million to fund CRA projects
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of a resolution accepting the Carver Heights & Vicinity CRA funding of $240,000 to cover Bond Anticipation Note payments for the Kristen Court project contingent upon a commitment by the City Commission to seek $1.5 million in advance funding for CH&VCRA projects.
Analysis:
On May 27, 2008 the Carver Heights and Vicinity CRA Board approved a resolution authorizing CRA funding of $240,000 for the Kristen Court Project contingent on a commitment by the Leesburg City Commission to seek $1.5 million in advance funding for CRA projects that will be paid by future tax increment revenues received by the CRA.
The $1.5 million will be used to acquire property, build senior housing, improve sidewalks, streetlights and develop underground utilities. The CRA anticipates that revenues over the next eight years will provide sufficient funding to meet the debt service for a $1.5 million loan.
Options:
1. Agree to receive funding of $240,000 for the Kristen Court Project in exchange for a commitment by the City Commission to seek $1.5 million in advance funding for CRA projects to be repaid by future tax increment revenues received by the CRA; or
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
The Carver Heights and Vicinity CRA Board will need to appropriate $240,000 for the Kristen Court Project in their 2008-09 Fiscal Year Budget. In addition, the loan payments for the $1.5 million will be paid by CRA Tax Increment Funding.
