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

Page 2 of 2
Below is a line item analysis of the proposed year 2007 expenditures for the HRA:
• Personal Services $ 64,550
• Legal Fees (TIF, relocation, acquisitions, etc.) $ 10,000
• Other Professional Services $ 31,000
o Ehlers & Assoc. (feasibility studies, TIF runs, etc.)
o Redevelopment land use planning/design services
o BDM Consulting Engineers (engineering services)
• Postage (construction notices, Q&A inserts) $ 500
• Publishing (Downtown project communications) $ 12,500
• Insurance $ 250
• Dues & Subscriptions $ 200
• Transfer out to General Fund (support staff, etc) $ 9,500
• Transfer out to EDA (approx. 37% shared expenses) 3 500
Total HRA Year 2007 Proposed Expenditures: $132,000
Total HRA Year 2007 Proposed Revenue: $291,800
The projected balance of $159,800 will be put into the HRA reserves for future housing or
redevelopment project expenses. Building this reserve fund is especially critical for the HRA
to have the financial means to initiate property acquisitions and related expenses in priority
redevelopment areas such as the downtown planning area north of Highway 10, and the core
downtown.
Attached to this memo you will find a Resolution establishing the tax levy for the Elk River
HRA, which requests that the City Council levy such maximum amount for the authority for
the year 2007, as in previous years. The City must certify its proposed maximum levy,
including EDA and HRA levies, to Sherburne County annually in September.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the HRA approve the year 2007 HRA Budget as presented, and
approve the attached Resolution establishing the HRA tax levy for collection in year 2007.
