RE: RDA Budget Amendment #1, FY 2020-2021
REQUESTED ACTION: Discuss and consider the adoption of the proposed First Amendment to the
Annual RDA Budget for Fiscal Year 2021.
BUDGET IMPACTS: The First Amendment identifies appropriations for Agency operations and
projects across multiple funds.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of the First Amendment (“Amendment”) is to allocate funds
from the 2020 tax increment received across multiple funds. The bulk of allocations are a function of the
increased tax increment and involve adjustments based on the actual receipt of funds. The remaining
allocations increase funding for existing Agency projects and programs with the exception of a new
initiative proposed as part of the Agency’s FY22 budget.
ANALYSIS & ISSUES: This Budget Amendment provides for adjustments across multiple funds within
the Agency budget for Fiscal Year 2021. The adjustments fall into the following categories and
descriptions:
