BACKGROUND The Downtown Development Authority (the 'DDA") was created in 1981 with the purpose, according to State statute, of planning and implementing projects and programs within the boundaries of the DDA. The DDA and City adopted a Plan of Development that specifies the projects and programs the DDA would undertake. In order to carry out the purposes of the State statute and the Plan of Development the City, on behalf of the DDA, has issued various notes and tax increment bonds. The first issuance of tax increment bonds occurred in 1984 and there have been subsequent issues through 2005. To date, no bonds have been issued in 2006, although a new issue may be requested of City Council prior to the end of the year to fund the Beet Street Cultural October 17, 2006 -2- Item No. 22 A-B Program and capital projects the DDA has made contingency commitments to over the past 10 months. In addition to the projects financed using the tax increment,the DDA has the ability under State law to assess a mill levy for administration, operations, and maintenance purposes. The mill levy proposed by the Board of Directors for 2007 is five mills. Estimated revenue from the mill levy for 2007 is $440,000. The total operating budget for 2007 is $6,196,867. The DDA also asks Council to appropriate funds from the Downtown Development Authority Debt Service Fund for current debt. The current debt includes outstanding bonds and the final payment for its one-third share of the Parking Structure.
