TOWN CENTER/SOUTH CENTRAL CASH FLOW ANALYSIS Christine Shingleton, Assistant Executive Director, reported that at the December 21, 1992 meeting, Agency Member Saltarelli REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY t_ _.BUTES Page 2, 2-1-93 requested staff provide a current cash flow analysis for the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Project areas. She stated the South Central Redevelopment Project Area Financing Plan was scheduled to be completed in the near future to identify priorities and possible bond financing opportunities. The cash flow analysis provided for each project area was a ten-year analysis depicting the Debt Service, Capital Projects, and Housing Set -Aside Funds. Agency Member Thomas stated the report was very complex and requested a meeting with staff for a detailed explanation, particularly set-aside funding. William Huston, Executive Director, reported staff was working on the South Central Financing Plan which would detail long range projects, bonding capacity, and financing projects. He suggested the cash flow analysis complexities be addressed when the South Central Financing Plan was reviewed by the Agency. Agency/staff discussion followed regarding verification of assumptions contained in the cash flow analysis; and depositing housing set-aside funds. William Huston, Executive Director, stated that previous Agencies approved deferring certain housing set-aside funds toward capital. improvement projects, i.e. the Columbus Tustin gym and said that the City must now start paying back the diverted capital improvement projects to the housing set-aside fund. Agency Member Saltarelli voiced his concern that a tremendous amount of Town Center Redevelopment money was and continued to be used for infrastructure and water projects, and questioned why water district bonds were not used for water projects. He was concerned there would not be funding for redevelopment projects. William Huston, Executive Director, said the South Central Financing Plan would afford this Agency the flexibility of setting expenditure policy and address leveraging Redevelopment Agency monies to stimulate development. Because of prior Agency policy, the current Agency was bound on how to utilize Town Center funds until the bonds were paid. Christine Shingleton, Assistant Executive Director, suggested presenting to the Agency the list of the prioritized water capital improvement projects depicting Redevelopment funding. It was moved by Potts, seconded by Thomas, to receive and file subject report, instruct staff to create a Town Center Housing Set - Aside Fund and begin making deposits to the fund in fiscal year 1992/93; adopt the Housing Deficit Plan for the Town Center Project area; and schedule a Redevelopment Agency workshop. Agency Member Saltarelli stated that because the water district transcended the City limits and the Redevelopment Agency was within City proper, allocating funding for infrastructure germane to the water district should be borne by water district residents rather than City residents. He said residents should benefit from projects that enhance the beauty of the City and he wanted to explore the water infrastructure expenditures.
