Loan Reoav New Loan Merged Area#1 Debt Service $300,000 Merged Area#1 Capital Project $300,000 SUMMARY: This is a "housekeeping" item to transfer cash to the Merged Area#1 Capital Project Fund from the Merged Area #1 Dept Service Fund, via a repayment of loans to and reloaning of funds from the General Fund. BACKGROUND: State rules governing Redevelopment accounting do not allow transfers between project areas or even between a single project area's debt service fund and capital projects fund. If a project area's capital projects fund has a negative cash balance and its debt service fund has positive cash balance, the simplest way to "transfer"cash between the two funds is to repay an existing loan and make a new loan. That is the situation in the proposed budget amendment resolutions. The purpose of all these loans is to cover projected negative cash balances in the various funds. The net indebtedness and the total cash balances of the CRA project areas remain the same. Since all of the new loans cant' a 6% interest rate, there will be some slight interest savings to the CRA. No new funds are being provided for nor committed to capital projects. The attached resolutions amending the budget accomplish the necessary tracking to comply with the accounting rules. Thomas M.
