5. Consider 1991 HRA Budget
The HRA discussed the proposed 1991 budget along with possible
expenditures in 1990 for development and redevelopment activities. The
HRA reviewed the 8/1/90 memo from the City Administrator regarding the
budget and proposed expenditures.
COMMISSIONER DUITSMAN MOVED TO AUTHORIZE THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM THE
HRA TO THE CITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000 FOR THE CITY MARKETING PROGRAM
AND $10,000 FOR THE JENNE SITE PROJECT. COMMISSIONER SCHULDT SECONDED
THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
• It was noted that these expenditures will provide the HRA with a cash
balance on 1/91 of approximately $32,500. The 1991 HRA tax levy would
generate approximately $26,500. This means that the total amount of
monies available for 1991 expenditures is $59,000. The HRA reviewed
the proposed expenditures as listed in the 8/1/90 City Administrator
memo which calls for $10,000 to be spent on downtown redevelopment;
$25,000 to be spent on riverfront development; and $24,000 to be placed
into reserves for future projects.
COMMISSIONER DUITSMAN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 90-1, A RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE 1991 HRA BUDGET AS OUTLINED IN THE 8/1/90 CITY
ADMINISTRATOR MEMO AND DISCUSSED BY THE HRA. COMMISSIONER SCHULDT
SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
It was noted that it is acceptable if expenditures do not take place
exactly according to the budget guide. This may happen if some
redevelopment plans are not ready for construction or if HRA priorities
change. Additionally, it is acceptable if few 1991 expenditures take
place and the funds build up in reserves for a future larger scale
project.
6. Consider 1991 HRA Tax Levy
