RESOLUTION NO. 2006 -06 APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER 469 09/11/06 -1- DRAFT Interim City Manager Curt Boganey stated the proposed Resolution would authorize the HRA to levy a market value levy at the rate of .0144% of total market value in 2007. He stated the City estimates that this would generate $265,000. He stated the use of these funds is to cover the operating expenses of the HRA. He stated Staff recommends adoption of both Resolutions. Commissioner Niesen inquired about the current balance of the account for the HRA and EDA and asked why the City needs an additional $265,000, this year when things are so tight. She stated the City has a lot of money to spend on properties that has to be expended in a certain time frame because of the bonds that the City has sold. She stated the account has been funded with approximately $250,000 annually and she feels the account does not need that amount deposited this year due to the current balance. Mr. Boganey responded the bond revenue funds are not available for use as operating overhead. He stated the other funds that are available for the EDA have been set aside for the purpose of project costs. He stated the purpose of these funds is administrative overhead and the amount the City budgets each year is expended each year. He stated there is not an excess of administrative funds and this resolution is necessary to continue the operation of the EDA. Commissioner Niesen asked for types of costs covered by this fund. Mr. Boganey stated the funds cover salaries and benefits, consulting costs, and general overhead expenses. He stated this money offsets the General Fund and stops further levy increases. He stated theses expenses are not eligible costs for bond revenue funds. Director of Fiscal and Support Services Dan Jordet stated there are two positions covered by the annually deposited funds that include the Community Development Director and the Community Development Specialist who are budgeted in EDA funding and considered EDA employees. He stated there are also support costs including transportation for conferences, legal expenditures, and costs for consultation on certain properties before projects are established. Commissioner O'Connor stated the HRA and EDA could be eliminated and not charged to the taxpayers. Commissioner Lasman moved and Commissioner Carmody seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2006- 01 Establishing a Final Market Value Levy for the Purpose of Defraying the Cost of Operation, Providing Informational Services and Relocation Assistance Pursuant to the Provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469.033 for the City of Brooklyn Center Housing and Redevelopment Authority for Fiscal Year 2007 and RESOLUTION NO. 2006 -02 Approving the Final Budget for the City of Brooklyn Center Housing and Redevelopment Authority Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469.
