On June 8, 2020, a resolution was passed to change the name of the organization to the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono (Authority). The purpose of the Authority is to acquire and develop certain blighted areas in the City to maintain the public welfare. The Authority is considered a component unit of the City since the Authority’s tax increment financing indicates financial accountability with the City, due to the benefits redevelopment will provide the City. The Mayor appoints the Authority board members and the City Council reviews the Urban Renewal Plans and any changes thereto. Legal counsel is of the opinion that under state statues, the City is not liable with respect to the bonds issued by the Authority. The Authority has no employees and all administrative functions are contracted. The Authority prepares its budget on the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes C.R.S. 29-1-105 using its best estimates as of the date of the budget hearing. These estimates are based on expected conditions and its expected course of actions. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that the District believes are significant to the budget. There will usually be differences between the budget and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. Revenues Incremental Property Taxes The Authority receives incremental property tax revenue for each of the active Urban Renewal areas. Incremental property tax revenues are the property tax revenues in excess of an amount equal to the ad valorem property taxes produced by the levy at the rates fixed for such year by or for the governing bodies of the various taxing jurisdictions within or overlapping the Urban Renewal area upon a valuation for assessment equal to the property tax base amount. The property tax base amount is certified by the County Assessor as the valuation for assessment of all taxable property within the Urban Renewal area last certified by the County Assessor prior to the adoption of the Urban Renewal plan. The base amount may be proportionately adjusted for general reassessments in accordance with Colorado law. The calculation of the incremental property taxes budgeted is displayed on the Property Summary Information pages the budget at the estimated mill levies for each project area. Interest Income Interest earned on the Authority’s available funds has been estimated based on the current average interest rate. 8 DRAFT - SUBJECT TO REVISION URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO 2023 BUDGET SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS Expenditures Administrative Expenditures Administrative expenditures include the services necessary to maintain the administrative viability such as legal, accounting, audit, contractual, and professional services, and other administrative expenses for the Authority. County Treasurer’s Fees County Treasurer’s collection fees have been computed at 1.5% of the incremental property taxes. Property Tax Increment Payment City Cooperation Agreement. On December 16, 2019, the Authority entered into a Cooperation Agreement (Dacono II Urban Renewal Plan) with the City (the “City Cooperation Agreement”). Pursuant to the City Cooperation Agreement, the parties agreed that, in furtherance of carrying out the purposes of the Plan, the Authority may retain and expend, 100% of the following revenue: (a) incremental property tax revenues derived from the City’s mill levy and transferred by the County Treasurer to the Authority for deposit into the Special Fund (the “City Property Tax Increment”) and (b) the incremental sales and use tax revenues from the portion of the City’s 3.0% general fund sales and use tax which are in excess of the sales tax base amount which revenues are deposited into the Special Fund by the City (the “City Sales Tax Increment” and together with the City Property Tax Increment, the “City Increment”). Under the City Cooperation Agreement, the Authority agreed to use the City Increment to pay eligible costs of the redevelopment of the TIF Area. The City Sales Tax Increment is not pledged to the Bonds and will be used by the Authority for other uses. The City presently imposes a debt service mill levy for the payment of general obligation indebtedness (2.62 of its 25.082 mills imposed in 2019, all of which will contribute to the Pledged Revenues) with a final maturity date of December 1, 2025. County Tax Increment Revenue Sharing Agreement. On December 16, 2019, the Authority entered into a Tax Increment Revenue Sharing Agreement with the County (the “County Sharing Agreement”). The parties agreed that the Authority may retain 50% of the net property tax increment revenues generated from the County’s mill levy during the TIF Period (the “County Increment”) and the Authority will remit to the County the remaining 50% of the net property tax increment revenues. St. Vrain Valley School District IGA. On December 16, 2019, the Authority and St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1J (the “St. Vrain School District”) entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement for Tax Increment Revenue Sharing By And Between the Economic Development Authority of Dacono and St. Vrain Valley School District (the “St. Vrain School District IGA”). The parties agreed that the Authority may retain the property tax increment revenues generated from the St. Vrain School District’s mill levy (currently in the amount of 24.995 mills) established by the Colorado Public School Finance Act, Section 22-54-106, C.R.S. (the “St. Vrain Total Program Mill Levy Increment”) and the Authority will remit to the St. Vrain School District all of the property tax increment revenues derived from the St. Vrain School District’s other mill levies and any future mill levies. The parties agreed that the Authority may retain an annual administrative fee equal to 1% of property tax increment revenues received by the Authority to pay the administrative costs of the Authority. 9 DRAFT - SUBJECT TO REVISION URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO 2023 BUDGET SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS Expenditures (Continued) Property Tax Increment Payment (Continued) Weld RE-8 School District IGA.
