Authority Board meeting.
2. Public Hearing and Resolution No. 129 Adopting the 2024 Budget for the Fort Collins Urban
Renewal Authority.

Renewal Authority. Staff submitted two budget offers for the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) as
part of the City’s biennial Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process in 2022. Since the City produces
a two-year budget as part of BFO, staff prepared a two-year budget for the URA for 2023 and
2024. The 2024 budget as presented mirrors the information presented to the Board in 2022 and
contains updated revenue and expense forecasts based on the County Assessor’s most recent
property reassessment and 2023 expenditures to date.
The first budget offer covers the costs of performing core functions of the URA. The second offer
is for the URA’s debt service payments. Combined, the total original appropriation for the 2024
URA budget would be $6,121,898. After these expenses, both the North College and Prospect
South plan areas would generate excess revenues. Staff forecasts nearly $7.6 million in available
cash in the North College plan area and $1.7 million in available cash in the Prospect South plan
area by the end of 2024. Public notice of this public hearing was published in the Coloradoan
Newspaper on Sunday, November 12, 2023.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) participates in the City’s biennial Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO)
process when establishing its budget. The URA follows a process that incorporates the feedback of all
URA Board members while still participating in the BFO process. Staff submitted initial budget offers as
part of BFO in April, 2022. Staff provided a preview of the budget via memo on September 23, 2022 and
presented the budget to the Finance Committee on October 13, 2022. The Finance Committee supported
the budget as presented. The URA Board then adopted the 2023 budget on October 27, 2022. Staff
presented forecasts and budget offers for 2024 as part of the 2023 budget adoption. The 2024 budget as
presented mirrors the information presented to the Board in 2022 and contains updated revenue and
expense forecasts based on the County Assessor’s most recent property reassessment and 2023
expenditures to date.

Section H, Item 2.
Urban Renewal Authority Agenda Item Summary – Page 2 of 3
Overview of Budget Offers
The budget offer consists of two elements: operational costs and debt service. Both elements are ongoing
budget offers, meaning they are essential to running the day-to-day operations of the URA. Operational
costs cover the costs of staffing, insurance, and retaining legal counsel, amongst other costs. The debt
service budget offer covers payments of all outstanding debt for all plan areas. The table below summarize
the amount of money staff seeks for appropriation to fund these budget offers and a comparison to the
2023 budget:
Offer Name 2023 Budget 2024 Budget Request
Offer 66.1 – URA Core Offer $665,216 $682,345
Offer 66.2 – URA Debt Service $5,340,153 $5,439,553
Total $6,005,369 $6,121,898
Changes in the 2024 URA budget compared to the 2023 budget include:
Reduced property tax, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), revenue and developer repayment for Foothills
Mall based on preliminary August 2023 report.
Small increases in operating costs and debt service including hourly personnel support and small
incremental increases for personnel and anticipated inflationary costs over 2023 budget amounts.
TIF increases for North College and Prospect South due to increased property values.
2024 Property Tax was based originally on the 2022 TIF Warrant with an inflation value applied.
Revenue Increment was increased in cash flow forecasts to reflect the preliminary values in the august
2023 Warrant report.
Both the North College and Prospect South plan areas will generate excess revenues with the current
proposed budget. By the end of 2024, North College is anticipated to have nearly $7.6 million in cash
available while Prospect South will have close to $1.7 million in cash available. The Foothills Mall plan
area passes TIF revenues to the Foothills Metro District, leaving the URA with no excess revenues to
invest in other priorities.
Expense Type North College Prospect South
Cash Inflows 2024 $4,389,941 $883,849
Cash Outflows 2024 ($1,735,693) ($458,794)
Net Change in Cash 2024 $2,654,248 $425,055
Projected Ending Cash Balance 2023 $5,885,838 $1,677,150
Projected Ending Cash Balance 2024 $8,540,086 $2,102,205
Restricted Cash Balance 2024 ($946,363) ($370,194)
Net Available Cash Balance Ending 2024 $7,593,723 $1,732,011
Collections of TIF revenue are on track and/or above estimates for 2023. With the County Assessor
reassessing property values in 2021-2023 and the URA collecting property taxes a year in arrears, staff
expect stable revenues through 2023-2024.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
URA staff was scheduled to present the proposed 2024 budget to the URA Finance Committee on October
12, 2023. The Finance Committee was unable to achieve a quorum and as a result, did not provide a
recommendation.

Offer Summary
This offer funds the payment of Urban Renewal Authority (URA) debt and obligation payments
across three tax increment financing (TIF) districts. The College and Drake URA does not have
obligation payments since it was established in 2020. These debts and obligations include bond
payments (North College and Foothills Mall), Redevelopment/Project Agreements, and City loan
agreements.
The URAs issue debt to help finance various development projects in the URA districts, such as the
King Sooper Marketplace and The Lyric in the North College URA. The debt service expense is paid
for by the tax increment revenue collected by the URA districts over the life of the URA (30 years).
The URA uses tax increment funding for all debt and obligation payments; the URA is not dependent
on the General Fund.
This Offer supports the following Strategic Objectives (the primary objective is marked with a ü):
