Council reviews special-revenue funds, park dedication and RDC project earmarks
Summary
Staff reviewed hotel-motel, park-dedication and RDC funds; staff proposed reducing a $50,000 hotel-motel grant line to zero, reported parkland funds of $1.8M (with $1.3M budgeted), and RDC staff described earmarked reserves for US 90A/site-readiness work.
Staff walked the council through special-revenue and RDC budgets, highlighting restricted uses and project reserves. Louis said the hotel-motel fund’s contribution to other entities was reduced from $50,000 to zero in the proposed budget, and he reported the park-dedication fund balance at about $1.8 million with $1.3 million planned for specific projects.
RDC staff described revenues of roughly $7.4 million and projected RDC expenditures of about $2.7 million, including allocations for business-incentive and site-readiness programs. Council asked whether the RDC was over-budgeting projects relative to revenue; RDC staff said $300,000 in one-time expenditures had been authorized from reserves and that site-readiness program policies are still being developed.
