EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Board of Directors of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) believes it would be financially beneficial for
the DDA and the community as a whole for a revolving Line of Credit to be established with a local bank for a six (6)
year period. The Line of Credit will be used to finance DDA projects and programs. Adoption of Resolution 2012-081
will approve the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) regarding the establishment of the Line of Credit and governing
the mechanics of its use. Adoption of Ordinance No. 089, 2012 will authorize the establishment of the Line of Credit
and approve execution of the First National Bank documents.
The DDA Board of Directors has approved the sum of three million dollars ($3,000,000) as a grant to the City of Fort
Collins for a portion of the actual costs of construction of the Museum of Discovery Project. Adoption of Resolution
2012-082 will approve the IGA expressing the terms of the grant contribution.
Ordinance No. 090, 2012 will appropriate unanticipated revenue from interest earnings in the amount of $191,032; from
project savings in the amount of $331,113; funds appropriated but not spent of $940,430; funds from the 2010 Bond
Series that were not appropriated in the amount of $500,000; and funds from the 2012 Revolving Line of Credit draw
of up to $1,000,000 for a total appropriation of $2,962,575. The DDA Board has authorized the expenditure on the
various projects and programs. This Ordinance also appropriates the debt service payment on the 2012 Line of Credit
draw.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
A. ESTABLISHMENT OF A LINE OF CREDIT
The Downtown Development Authority 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 the City adopted a Plan
of Development that specifies the projects and programs the DDA would undertake. The primary means of financing
DDA projects and programs is through the use of property tax increment collected within the DDA boundaries. The
Colorado Revised Statues (C.R.S.) requires that the City incur some form of debt in order to finance such projects and
programs using property tax increment revenues collected to pay the debt service. The City, in order to carry out the
purposes of the State statute and the Plan of Development, on behalf of the DDA, has issued various notes and tax
increment bonds. In 1983 the City issued a tax increment bond anticipation note. The first issuance of tax increment
bonds occurred in 1984 with subsequent issuances through 2010.
August 28, 2012 -2- ITEM 3
The establishment of the Line of Credit with First National Bank meets the requirements of the C.R.S. and the costs
associated with such a line of credit are much lower than would be the case with other types of traditional financing
such as a bond. It is in the best interest of the DDA and the City to reduce financing costs of DDA projects in order
to preserve the maximum amount of property tax increment revenues for DDA projects and activities within its
boundaries.
• Resolution 2012-081 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and
the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority Governing the Use of a Line of Credit.
This Resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute the IGA between the City and the DDA governing the use of the line
credit. The two entities desire to enter into the IGA in order to establish a line of credit to finance certain DDA projects.
The IGA defines the recommended required process steps for implementation of the Line of Credit.
• Ordinance No. 089, 2012, Authorizing the Establishment of a Revolving Line of Credit for a Six Year
Period in the Amount of up to One Million Dollars Annually to Finance Downtown Development
Authority Projects and Programs in Accordance with the Downtown Development Authority Plan of
Development and Approving Related Documents.
The Ordinance authorizes the Chief Financial Officer of the City to establish the Line of Credit and to execute the Line
of Credit documents.
B. MUSEUM OF DISCOVERY INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
The DDA Board of Directors has approved the sum of three million dollars ($3,000,000) as a grant to the City for a
portion of the actual costs of construction of the Museum of Discovery project.
• Resolution 2012-082 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and
the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority Regarding Funding of the Museum of Discovery
Project.
This Resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute the IGA between the City and the DDA regarding the grant of funds
for the Museum of Discovery. The two entities desire to enter into the IGA in order to establish the annual contribution
amounts and the terms of the agreement.
C. APPROPRIATIONS
In order to maximize the effectiveness of DDA bond proceeds and delay the cost of issuing bonds or borrowing funds
when capital is available, staff monitors sources of funds currently in reserves and available for appropriation. These
funds accumulate as a result of interest earnings and from project savings when actual cost accounting at the end of
the project is lower than the funds committed at the start of a project. Additionally, reserves available for appropriation
may become available when a project committed to by the DDA has been withdrawn by the project owner. The DDA
Board has also chosen to maximize the effectiveness of available funds by discontinuing programs that were not being
utilized.
DDA Board Approvals
Staff has provided summaries for the projects and programs approved for funding by the DDA Board. All approvals
by the DDA Board are made contingent upon City Council appropriation of funds that fulfill the Authority’s commitment
to projects. With the exception of those projects or programs which are purely public in nature, no DDA expenditures
will be made until projects are completed and have met all DDA requirements for reimbursement including, but not
limited to, evidence of a letter of completion or certificate of occupancy from the City. The DDA Board has reviewed,
approved and is recommending to the City Council the total appropriation of $2,962,575 for expenditure on projects
and programs that are in accordance with the DDA Plan of Development, the Downtown Plan and the Downtown
Strategic Plan.
August 28, 2012 -3- ITEM 3
• Ordinance No. 090, 2012, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Downtown Development Authority
Fund, Funds Drawn from the 2012 City of Fort Collins Revolving Line of Credit Established to Finance
Downtown Development Authority Projects and Programs and Funds for Debt Service on the
Revolving Line of Credit.
Interest Earnings, Programs and Project Savings
Over the past year, proceeds from DDA tax increment financing that have not been spent have accumulated interest
earnings in the amount of $191,032 and are available for appropriation. Project savings in the amount of $331,113
and funds not appropriated in the 2010 Bond Series Issuance in the amount of $500,000 need to be appropriated for
expenditure.
Bonds were issued in 2007, 2008 and 2010 and the resulting bond proceeds were appropriated for projects and
programs that subsequently did not require the full use of committed funds resulting in $940,430 in savings. For
example, some facade projects were withdrawn by the owner or the DDA Board discontinued a program. These funds
are now available for reappropriation.
Line of Credit and Debt Service Payment
Establishment of the revolving Line of Credit requires appropriation of the 2012 draw of up to $1,000,000. The debt
service payment for 2012 on the Line of Credit also needs to be appropriated. The DDA debt service fund is projected
to have sufficient revenue to meet the debt service payment for 2012. The Intergovernmental Agreement between
the City of Fort Collins and the DDA for the Line of Credit specifically states that no draw shall be made by the City
on the Line of Credit in excess of available tax increment monies. The DDA Board will annually adopt a resolution
approving its budget and recommend to City Council the monies to be appropriated on the Line of Credit.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
To achieve success in revitalization and redevelopment of the Downtown district, DDA staff and Board operate with
attention to maintaining the fiscal viability and fiduciary stewardship of the organization. During 2012, the DDA staff
and board has focused on finding the lowest cost of capital to support projects and programs so that the maximum
amount of capital can be invested in projects or programs. With the Line of Credit financing tool, the DDA is able to
decrease the cost of capital for its current slate of projects and programs through a significant reduction in expenses
for interest, closing costs and transaction fees. The reduction in the cost of capital expenses ranges from $828,700
to $1,252,200.
The DDA Board has authorized expenditure on the following projects or programs which will be funded with this
appropriation in the amount of $2,962,575:
Maintenance Obligations - $654,000
