A. NORTH COLLEGE FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to provide the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority (the
"Authority") Finance Committee (the "Committee") an update on the financial status,
commitments and revenue of the North College URA.
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. Does the Committee have any questions about the information presented?
2. Does the Committee feel the Board will need additional information about the information
presented?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Staff plans to update the Board regularly on the financial status of the current three URA’s,
starting with the North College URA. We believe this is important for transparency, and to
confirm to the Board that staff is closely tracking the finances of the URAs.
NORTH COLLEGE YRA FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Revenue
• Total TIF revenue collected through 2019 is $13.1M.
• Additional revenue forecasted through 2030 (2029 tax increment) is $24.0M.
⇒ Assumes a 2% property tax increase every other year.
• Other revenue (interest, etc.) totals $0.5M for 2014-2029.
Expenses
Operating
• Operating expenses consist of personnel costs, good and services, bank fees and the fee from
the County for tax collection (2% of TIF revenue).
• The North College URA has been paying for personnel costs, good and services, and bank
fees for the Midtown and Mall URAs due to limited cash flow for those URAs. The North
College URA will be reimbursed by the other URAs and those dollars are included in the
analysis.
Reimbursement Agreements
• Hickory Commons – The Authority shall pay to the Developer fifty percent (50%) of the Tax
Increment that was generated from the Property and paid for the previous calendar year up to
maximum eligible costs of $136,072. There has been no increment generated to-date, so no
payments have been made. In addition, the Authority will pay $1,361 to the developer
if/when the developer delivers the Energy Star Certification to the Authority, which must be
within two years of the date that a Certificate of Occupancy for the Buildings has been issued
by the City to the Developer.
• Lyric – The Authority shall pay to the Developer fifty percent (50%) of the Tax Increment
that was generated from the Property and paid for the previous calendar year up to maximum
eligible costs of $252,650. The first $43,650 in revenue goes back to the City for ROW
repay obligation.
• Feeders Supply – The Authority shall pay to the Developer fifty percent (46%) of the Tax
Increment that was generated from the Property and paid for the previous calendar year up to
maximum eligible costs of $72,472. In addition, the Authority will pay $1,584 to the
developer if/when the developer delivers the Energy Star Certification to the Authority,
which must be within two years of the date that a Certificate of Occupancy for the Buildings
has been issued by the City to the Developer.
• Aspen Heights – The Authority shall pay to the Developer fifty percent (50%) of the Tax
Increment that was generated from the Property and paid for the previous calendar year up to
maximum eligible costs of $894,287. This property was sold on 12/13/2016, and as per
section 2.9 of the Redevelopment Agreement, developer was required to get approval from
the URA for the sale. This condition was not met, therefor no payments will be made on this
agreement.
Capital
• Whitewater Park - In 2018, the URA contributed $300k to this project (ordinance 2018-058).
• North College Drainage Improvement District, Phase 1- In 2019, the URA budgeted a
contribution of $300k to this Stormwater project to complete the preliminary stormwater
project. This project is located at North Mason Street (Alpine Street to Hickory Street),
along with Alpine Street, Pinon Street and Hemlock Street (Mason Street to North College
Avenue). This was part of the 2019-2020 BFO process.
Debt Service
• Loan from General Fund to URA for RMI2 – RMI2 repaid part of the loan to the URA, while
the URA “forgave” the remainder of the loan. The URA is paying the remaining debt service
to the General Fund for that loan with a principal amount of $2,035,211. Debt service is due
through 2024.
• In 2013, the URA consolidated and refinanced its outstanding debt with the General Fund and
the Stormwater Fund. Total debt is $11.085M, with final debt service payment made in
2029. The URA is required to keep a year’s debt service in the restricted fund balance

DISCUSSION
College & Drake Urban Renewal Plan Update – Tax Allocation Agreements
URA Finance Committee Meeting – May 14, 2019
Meeting started: 11:07am
Cunniff moved to adopt March 19, 2019 meeting minutes, Febvre seconded.
Josh; Quick agenda item. Follow up to statements from last October. Today we have a new
format to present to you. We’d like to use this format to start making things clearer towards
what’s going on in with URA financial reporting. Rachel did all the work on this and will be here
to answer specific questions.
Cash flow statement, these are the un-audited numbers for 2019. Top is revenue, primarily
property tax increment for North College. North College carries the debt for all of the districts
within it. We’ve talked about finding a way to separate the districts. Right now, these are units of
their own fund, we are evaluating right now on what makes the most sense moving forward, such
as separating the funds into its own unit or keeping it all together.
Febvre; Why do you want to see this differently? Where are you going and why? To better
understand the operating costs, it’s all the same department doing the operations? Yes. Can you
shift funds between URAs or are they clean boundaries?
Josh; There’s two pieces of operation. North College is the first district that has ever been
created, it has historically carried all of the costs. We cannot and do not comingle funds between
the TIF districts. What I don’t know the answer to, is if one district can lend money to another.
We have had conversations with the City and the City lending funds.
Darin; The question is, are they reasonably covering their own costs.
Mike; North College, has been building up a receivable because they were the first and covered
it all. This will eventually make the North College whole relative to the operational costs of
staffing that it has covered since the beginning.
Cunniff; So, whether we have asked the question or not, we have been lending?
Josh; Yes, but to make it correct we are going through this process for better accounting rigor.
We track our time as staff to figure out how much time we are investing and other operating
static operational costs are disbursed, we then create a ratio and figure out the amount of Urban
Renewal by district.
Wise; If this was a business, we would be reporting operations, expense by project and then
consolidated for North College?
Josh; This is why we are transitioning. Eventually North College will go away, and we will lose
our ability to use TIF. We need to be able to pull out and see the operations separately so that we
won’t be perpetuating TIF in the North College area simply for operations.
Wise; I think there’s a lot of value in seeing the projects separately. There’s no other way to see a
clear cost/benefit analysis otherwise. This format gets us toward an accurate cost for each of our
districts.
Josh; The other reason we want to present this like this, is because the loans between the City
and the URA show the full balance of the loan carried each year. In our October Budget
discussions in October, a lot of our funding balances looked like we have available loan balances
when really, they were negative because of the blended component unit projection. We are now
trying to show this from more of a management perspective that gives us a better sense of the
debts and available fund balance as if the URA were a standalone entity. This gives the URA a
better overall sense of debt vs. available funds.
Mike; One of the nuances we have here is that, we have a URA policy around TIF that specifies
50 or 75% TIF and gives priorities as opposed to giving a lump sum up front. We started the first
couple of projects without this policy. Now looking at reimbursement agreements, if it’s paid
overtime it’s falling into the operation expense line item because we give them a portion of TIF.
We are shifting this to be more of the norm. In some of these there are sharing agreements
between the City and the URA. Most of the nuances are reflective of the ways that we manage
TIF.
Troxell; What about the snapshot of the declining URA time frame and how that plays into
opportunity costs? There are multiple variables that need to be balances to opportunities.
Josh; This cash flow statement runs out through the end of the district. In North College, we are
seeing revenue build up over time more funds to address the blight. This Board will ultimately
have to decide, what is the best way to do this? In the final 10 years of the North College district,
we might want to think about creating legacy. We have more than 10years worth of work to do,
so we may want to look at strategic investments now and revenue streams that go beyond the
TIF.
Wise; But we have a full printout that shows the end of the project?
Rachel; Yes. We did this for all three of the URAs. We really looked at the cash flow and what
the anticipated TIF would be overtime at a 2% increase every other year. This is how we
determined revenue. The debt service, reimbursements agreements and operating expenses we
know. We showed all of these through the end of the life cycle for all three URAs.
Mike; I would want to point out to you that 12.4 is the forecasted fund balance by 2030, this
committee has the opportunity of what to do with this. This number has grown a lot, particularly
in the last 2 years.
Cunniff; I believe one option is to refund this to the affected taxing entities, correct?
Josh; Yes, but it will be up to the Board to decide what it wants to do with the money.
My hope is that during the retreat, we as staff can help the board better question what would
characterize as broader community benefits. Some of the district areas predate HB 15-1348.
Right now, as long as there is blight to be remedied, the URA can continue to deliver on its
objectives.
Febvre; Is there a distinction between the North College URA and current make-up of the board?
Josh; North College predates HB 15-1348 so all of the increment flows directly towards the
URA Authority. The board ultimately decides on what to do with the increment, this would be
the full expanded URA Board.
Cunniff; In addition to the community benefit, I’d like to know projected maintenance costs of
the things that we put in.
Josh; 2.7 million in funding went into funding the local street portion of Vine and Hickory.
Without the URA, this money would’ve had to of come from City transportation funding. In this
case, the URA fronted the money in for the project. As a board we get to decide on what we want
to do with the repayment? Waive it? Collect it all of it? If we collect it then we can reinvest it
towards other improvements, this will be up to the Board to decide. That repay exists beyond the
end of TIF, the money can be used to create revenue and continue to address blight issues of the
site.
Troxell; In 2030, if there is still a 12.4 mill in there. Does it go away or you’re just no longer
collecting? When there is an afterlife with the districts, what does the afterlife look like?
Josh; Any fund balance that is just increment has to be refunded back to the district if it’s not
used by the end of the district.
Wise; This money, such as the 12.4million, could go far in building a library in the area.
Josh; There’s a number of opportunities that could be catalyst on North College with this money.
I am excited to hear ideas from the Board on how we can move forward. Our chair brought up
that we still have 10 years left to create more increment. We could consider what we can do with
what we have to generate more increment to do more things. In North College, we are starting to
develop a high amount of increment that we can strategically use to generate more, improve the
area, increase livability of the area and remedy blight. Our retreat will be geared more towards
the beginning of guiding principals of what community benefits means for the Board.
Troxell; In the retreat, I would like to look at how we can leverage this to enable a lot more, so
it’s more of a 1:10 benefit well beyond the 1:1. I would like to use the URA to enable a lot more,
and to Ross’s point, we need to look at operational costs and these should not be an after-
thought..
Josh; In the retreat, I think that in the time we have the Board can begin to develop a unified
direction and the beginning of some unified language. We can than revisit as a Board.
Troxell; As it relates to the retreat, are we going to drill into each of the different districts? These
are all at different stages, so how do we think about leveraging our portfolio?
Josh; One of the topics currently on the agenda is scanning the future horizons. There are
multiple to look at, there are horizons for Fort Collins, Library, Health, the larger idea is to get
everything out on the table to look at opportunities for leverage, overlap and creating meaningful
properties.
Cunniff; I can imagine the County has Human services high on the list
Josh; Exactly, we’d like to look at all the districts priorities together and evaluate from there.
There could be opportunities there on what we can or cannot do but if anything, it will give us all
a greater understanding of where we are each coming from.
Wise; I think there is some magic to that. If we could see money being applied directly to needs
other than City needs, but more of need of the districts, I think there would be greater sympathy.
Right now, there are some issues of some Board members feeling like funds are going towards
City costs. More enthusiasm will come from applying money directly towards districts needs for
things that the community really wants, such as mental health facilities.
Josh; I fully agreed, but we will not know this until we get everything out on the table and get to
clear guidance on what the Board would like to address in all the districts. Spending the money
within the North College area, some of the districts may see things out on the horizon that would
be true public benefit for the community.
Mike; Remember that North College fund balance is the oddity of the URA districts. Most of
them look very different, such as Prospect South, the Mall, etc… each of the districts look
different.
Josh; North College is managed very different from our other URAs. We didn’t have the
conversations that we did with Drake and College, so in a way, now we need to go back and
have these conversations. In this unique conversation, it is a great case study to look at what we
truly want to achieve in the districts. The cash flow of this statement is geared towards helping
the board think about URA investments strategically. Which in my mind is great because it
brought the Board to a conversation of how they want to strategically invest the money as
opposed to examining what the available fund balance actually is in each of the districts.
Troxell; In more recent URAs, the philosophy has been more of a narrowed scope, such as the
Drake and College project. The legislation and philosophy behind this has really narrowed the
scope of the URA’s work. With North College, the project is more open, and the increment is
over a much wider region, the conversation is totally different. This has been very helpful.
Cunniff; In 2023 the cash balance is larger than the total remaining debt owed?
Rachel; In 2023 there is enough money to cover all of the debt. If we wanted to pay all of the
debt in any given year, this would be it. That’s all I’m showing on the spreadsheet.
Josh; We can add another year and show it to you? One of our options is in 2023 we can pay all
of the outstanding debt and be done.
Cunniff; Yes. Does the projection take the most recent assessment into account? Most of the
residential has been about 23%, not 2%.
Josh; North College may have experienced a different reassessment values, we have not seen
commercial values in 2019 this but will update when we can. Initial certifications are typically
given around August with the final given around November.
Troxell; OK. Anything else?
Wise; Looking at this project and remaining time, this all looks good.
Josh; As a next step we will finalize similar reports for the other districts and share with
committee in July, sort of a Q2 update. We plan to continue with this process and give you an
update for all the other districts with the full cash flow out through the lifecycle of each district.
We’ll be giving you a 5-year snapshot as a focus.
Rachel; The 2019 TIF is based on 2018 that will not change, it’s just the going forward.
Troxell; We have City projects going on right now in the North College Area, like Suniga and
stormwater needs. The URA contributed some funds to stormwater and I know there are some
needs on the West side. I am not sure the boundaries of where the URA funds were spend here,
some of this work was in the County
Josh; Some of these projects were created in 2004. After 2005 the rules became much stricter in
where and how money can be spent within a district. This is why we have to contribute only to
Vine right of way as opposed to White Water Park. The southern portion of the right of way for
Vine is in the district, the rest is out, so we basically had to spend all of our money within the
southern portion.
Troxell; In terms of the blighted areas. I think this is where we as a Board will really be able to
apply our broader community objectives.
Josh; We did some work about 12 months ago where we looked at 6 or 7 focus areas in North
College. This basically went to Hickory, Suniga, Vine, Jarome, College, areas that we felt needs
the most as well as there were good opportunities. We are happy to share this research with you.
Troxell; I think this is an interesting area for our community. There is really a lot of opportunity
up there.
Wise; The Mulberry area will be interesting to look at well in terms of opportunity.
Troxell; Yes. Other business? None
