INCREASED SECURITY/
MAINTENANCE FUNDING
AT THE LAST MEETING, THE BOARD DISCUSSED IDENTIFYING RESOURCES TO FUND THE INCREASED
MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY SERVICES NEEDED DOWNTOWN, AND IN OLD TOWN SQUARE. ONE
SOURCE INVOLVED INCREASING THE DDA ADMINISTRATIVE MILL LEVY FROM 4.05 TO 5 MILLS, AND
THE BOARD FELT IT PRUDENT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE IN OREATER DEPTH, SINCE CHANGES IN THIS
CATEGORY WOULD IMPACT THE BUDGET,
OTHER POSSIBLE FUNDING SOURCES WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED AND SET FORTH IN THE BOARD
PACKETS. FACTORING AN ANNUAL COST OF MAINTENANCE AT $303.000 THE TOTAL MILL LEVY
INCREASE REQUIRED WOULD BE 8.4. THIS DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION FUNDS FOR
INCREASED SECURITY SERVICES. EACH ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICER WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY
$ 100,000 REQUIRING ANOTHER 8.5 BID MILLS FOR A TOTAL OF 17 MILLS.
AS AN AIIERNATVE, MR. STEINER NOTED THAT DDA COULD USE TAX INCREMENT TO FUND CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES, ABOVE WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPENDED, AND PREVAIL UPON THE CITY, FOR
THEIR PART, TO PROVIDE MONIES FOR ENHANCED MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY. WHILE THERE 13
3UFFICIENT IN TAX INCREMENT TO DO THIS, THE BOARD EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT IT MIGHT INHIBIT
ITS ABILITY TO FUND OTHER PROJECTS, THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHETHER THE MAINTENANCE
COST IS AN ACCURATE FlOURE, AND IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONSIDER OUTSIDE BIDS.

JASON MEADORS, SECRETARY

DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY
TO: DDA Board of DirecAt r
FROM: Chip Steiner
DATE: September 30, 2002
RE: 2003 Administrative Budget Notes (Revised)
Line items in the administrative budget have been changed to reflect the categories used
by the City. Since the DDA receives monthly updates, having the same categories will
make tracking the budget easier. Some of the categories are irrelevant to our budget but
are included to maintain across the board consistency.
1. Under Personal Services:
Salaries. Gross salaries for 2002 were revised downward because of the four -month gap
between Jay's departure as a salaried employee and my start as a salaried employee.
Salaries for 2003 are calculated assuming five percent raises with Ann's increase running
the full year and the executive director's beginning in August and running for five
months. Decisions on raises are the Board's prerogative, so these figures are used for
budgeting purposes only.
All other. The rest of the figures in Personal Services were adjusted with the assistance
of the City. Health and dental insurance actually dropped a little bit but life insurance
and long-term disability went up by 50 percent. Since the DDA uses the ICMA
retirement fund the number in the social security line item is for medicare, not retirement.
2. Under Contractual Services:
Telephone —Telephone charges in 2002 have exceeded the budget by a considerable
amount. There are two reasons for this: (1) the DDA changed phone service that
involved some one-time charges and, (2) because the DDA is not networked to the City's
computer system Anne was required to dial up through a regular 56k modem. Because
access was so slow Anne was leaving the connection in place, not realizing the City
assessed a 4-cent charge for every minute connected. She of course has stopped this
practice but it doesn't resolve the difficulty in accessing information at the city. We are
working with the city to obtain a wireless connection.
The 2003 telephone budget is left at 2002 levels since we are anticipating fixing the
problems that caused the 2002 increases.
19 Old Town Square • Suite 230 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 • tel:970.484.2020 • fax: 970.484.2069
• 0
Postage, Employee Liability Insurance, Mileage. These remain at 2002 budget levels.
Mileage was higher than normal because Jay had to make frequent trips to Denver
regarding Senate Bill 32.
Outside Reproduction. Don't know why we have spent so much in 2002. We have in-
house copying capabilities that should minimize the need for outside reproduction and so
the budgeted amount remains unchanged. If, in 2003, we still incur higher than
anticipated costs in this line item, we will (1) figure out what is causing it, and (2) either
increase the budgeted amount or reduce our use of outside reproduction services.
Computer Charges. This item has been reduced. A new computer and printer were
bought in 2002 but we are not anticipating buying any additional hardware. The
budgeted figure anticipates breakdowns requiring technical support.
Maintenance Contracts. This is a fixed cost for the lease of the office copying system
(color and black and white). The DDA pays the lease. The DBA pays for all supplies.
Enterprise Zone. This is a pass through. $24,000 in, $24,000 out. A corresponding
revenue figure shows up in the revenue projection.
Cable Repairs. City category. Not applicable to DDA.
Janitorial Services. Included in office rent.
Contractual Labor. None anticipated.
Consulting Services. $250,000 has been budgeted for the Linden Street Plan.
Project Management. The City had $240,000 funds budgeted in this category for the
Empire/Armstrong Hotel. The funds are now unencumbered and they will show up in
our reserves.
Marketing. Standing arrangement with DBA to retain $2000 in marketing services. The
DDA will consider renewal of this agreement in December, 2002.
Office Rent. Progressive Old Town Square has agreed to renew the DBA lease (the
DDA sublets from the DBA) at no change in rate.
Dues and Subscriptions. Budget has been increased to allow the DDA to join the
International Downtown Association. DDA is currently a member of the Colorado
Community Revitalization Association, Colorado Historic Society, DBA, and the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Other Contractual. In the revised 2002 budget the cost of my consulting services has
been added to this line item (moving funds from Capital Outlay which shows a
corresponding reduction). Nothing is budgeted for 2003.
POTS Plaza Improvements. This is an annual pass -through of $12,500. A
corresponding figure is included in the revenue projections.
Meals. 2002 expenditures in this category are well above budget. $200 has been added
to the 2003 budget.
3. Under Commodities:
Office Supplies. We are well over budget in this category. $300 has been added to the
2003 budget.
Copier Supplies. DBA pays for these materials. Nothing has been budgeted for 2003.
Coffee Supplies. Nobody drinks coffee around here. Budget is for our guests.
Other Commodities (e.g. Board retreat, Christmas party). Don't know if this is
categorized correctly. $2000 seems to cover these costs so the same figure is used for
2003.
5. Under Capital Outlay:
DDA Funded Improvements. The budget projection is at $300,000 and includes the re -
appropriation of $240,000 that was originally pledged to the Empire Hotel but that has
been unencumbered. The balance is anticipated carryover from 2002. It is important to
understand that the Authority has bond proceeds available from the last two issues
available for projects. We are also assembling anew issue in excess of $10 million and
are hoping to go to market before the end of this year to take advantage of very low
interest rates. Below is a chart representing bond funds available or necessary to meet
existing and future project obligations.
Under "Encumbered Bond Proceeds" the first two items are commitments the DDA has
made to assist City projects. The third item, 334 East Mountain, is for Rhythms. This
project appears to be stalled and the Authority may need to have the funds
reappropriated. The $10,000 commitment to 251 Linden Street is the remainder of a
$20,000 obligation. We are trying to determine the status of this project.
The $240,000 under, "Unappropriated Bond Proceeds" was the Authority's
commitment to the Armstrong/Empire Hotel. These funds have been unencumbered. To
use them, they must be reappropriated by City Council which is what we are asking it to
do through the approval process for our 2003 budget.
"Unfunded Projects" is a best estimate of pending and planned projects. Some of these
are projects for which commitments have already been made. Others, including the
Linden Street Plan, the Great Architects endowment, and downtown development
projects are anticipated for funding in the next one to five years. Please note the
$1,000,000 included for Administrative Capital Projects. The intent is to replenish the
"DDA funded improvements" line item in the administrative budget with these monies.
(The Board needs to be aware that a bond issue of $10.5 million puts the DDA at its
borrowing limit of $25 million. We cannot borrow more without asking for voter
approval. How this affects the use of tax increment revenues above what is needed
to service debt has not yet been answered.)

6. Under Other:
City Loan: The loan is to be paid off through bond proceeds. Since the bonds have
not been issued, funds to retire the debt cannot be included in the revenue projections.
The payment, therefore, remains as a budgeted expense to the Administrative budget.
Once the bonds are issued and the loan retired, the DDA can reallocate these monies to
"DDA Funded Improvements."
Larimer County Treasurer's Fee. It is somewhat unclear to me why this expense has
been moved into the DDA's Administrative Budget. Nevertheless, it has. The fee is for
the cost of collecting and distributing tax revenues.
BID Contribution. If the board authorizes an increased mill levy this line item will be
$62,331.
Contingency. $5,000. Same as last year.
The Administrative Mill Levy.
The Board of Directors approved increasing the administrative levy to five mills at its
special meeting, September 18, 2002. This will generate an additional $60,000 +
annually. The funds are intended to support increased maintenance services in the central
business district.
