RE: State Street Community Reinvestment Area (“CRA”) Budget Amendment
REQUESTED ACTION: Consider the Adoption of the Proposed State Street CRA Budget as
Amended
BUDGET IMPACTS: State Street CRA 20-Year Consolidated Budget
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On August 21, 2018, the Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors
(“Board”) adopted the State Street Community Reinvestment Area (“State Street CRA”) plan and budget.
Before the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (“RDA”) can begin to collect tax increment within a
project area, an interlocal agreement must be approved by each contributing taxing entity detailing the terms
of their participation.
Interlocal agreements have now been finalized with all taxing entities contributing to the State Street CRA
including Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County and Salt Lake City School District. These agreements were also
reviewed and adopted by the Board. The purpose of this budget amendment is to align the State Street CRA
budget adopted by the Board in August of 2018 with the terms of the executed interlocal agreements.
ANALYSIS & ISSUES: Values within the State Street CRA budget as amended have been updated from
the previously adopted budget as noted in the tables below. More specifically, these values reflect a
reduced project area term from 25 to 20 years, fewer participating taxing entities (the Salt Lake Library,
Salt Lake Metropolitan Water District, Salt Lake Mosquito Abatement District and the Central Utah
Water Conservancy District are no longer participating), updated tax increment revenue projections to
reflect denser, transit-oriented development patterns and specific terms requested by Salt Lake County.
The complete State Street CRA budget as amended to be incorporated in the State Street CRA plan has
been included under Attachment A.

agreement with the Agency, the County has agreed to provide "the lesser of: a) 18% of the Agency's total
expenditures for income targeted housing projects in the Project Area; and b) $5,700,258." For example, for

projects within the State Street Project Area. If the RDA cannot document expenses of at least $31,668,199 for
income targeted housing projects within the State Street Project Area, then the total amount of County tax
increment that the RDA may use in the Project Area on income targeted housing may be less than $5,700,258
and will be dictated by the terms of the interlocal agreement. If there are any income targeted housing funds
remaining after 2044, the RDA must return those funds to the County as provided in the interlocal agreement.

The RDA shall implement this plan through the following activities:
