HomeMy WebLinkAbout2/16/2005 - STAFF REPORTS (8) DATE: February 16, 2005 TO: Community Redevelopment Agency FROM: Director of Finance&Treasurer/Director of Redevelopment REPAYMENT AND RELENDING OF CRA LOANS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Community Redevelopment Agency approve the following loan repayments and new loans (at 6% interest) from the General Fund, effective February 16, 2005. Loan Repay New Loan Merged Area#1 Debt Service $600,000 Merged Area#1 Capital Project $600,000 Merged Area#2 Debt Service $300,000 Merged Area#2 Capital Projects $300,000 SUMMARY: This is a "housekeeping" item to transfer cash to the Merged Area#1 and#2 Capital Project Funds from the Merged Area#1 and #2 Debt Service Funds, 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 Capital Projects Funds. The net indebtedness of the CRA project areas remain the same. The net effect on the General Fund is zero. The attached resolutions amending the budget accomplish the necessary tracking to comply with the accounting rules. Thomas M.
