OCTOBER 2025
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
SALT LAKE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY
•The CRA’s Budget Amendment #2 contemplates a reallocation of existing funds.
•The request is to reallocate funds from the Infrastructure Improvements fund to the
Infrastructure Property Acquisition fund, which is a more appropriate program for
acquisition of property.
•All funds discussed are staying within the same project (PRJ-000098 Depot District
Infrastructure, Design, Construction, & Site Work) – no funds are being removed or
added to the project.
•The original intent of the project was to support public improvement design, site work to
prepare Station Center properties for construction, and public improvements
construction.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
SALT LAKE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY
•The Board allocated $4,067,583 to PRJ-000098 previously, with an additional $44,857
allocated through the FY26 budget. The project budget totals $4,112,440.
•Of the total funds appropriated, $2,408,411.77 has not been encumbered or spent.
•The acquisition proposed through this amendment allows the CRA to further
infrastructure and rights-of-way design, in line with the original project approval.
•An amendment is requested as the original program funding allocation (Infrastructure
Improvements Program) is less appropriate for property acquisition than the proposed
funding (Infrastructure Property Acquisition Program).

WORKDAY WORKTAGS & THE CRA BUDGET
SALT LAKE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY
Appropriation
Cost Center FundFiscal Year Program Region
Worktags allow for tracking of costs, revenues, and other operational metrics across different dimensions like departments, projects, or geographic
locations. The Redevelopment Agency’s budget utilizes the following Worktags:
Cost Center: Represents a specific department, unit, or division within an organization that is responsible for certain costs. The RDA i s a cost center.
Fiscal Year: The original year the funds were appropriated.
Fund: Used to categorize and segregate financial transactions based on the origin of the funds, which is crucial for accurate financial reporting and compliance. The
RDA has Project Area, Housing, Multi-Use, and Operations funds, with various legal and policy-related requirements that need to be monitored.
Program: Enables the segregation and monitoring of financial data, which represents a specific pool of money that needs to be tracked for various legal, policy, or
Board-directed initiatives related to RDA programs. The Program Worktags are designed to fit within program hierarchies such as Housing, Commercial, Infrastructure,
and Operations programs.
Region: Segments expenses based on location, which for the RDA is usually a Project Area. Not all expenses will be associated with a project area, which means this
Worktag may not always be used.
Appropriation: Combines the elements of Cost Center, Fund, Program, and Region into a single, comprehensive identifier, with the fiscal year as a prefix.
APPROPRIATIONS & PROJECT BUDGETS
SALT LAKE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY
Each appropriation supports either the operations of the Agency or projects associated with its
various programs.
Operations Appropriations
Annual appropriations for operational
expenses. Considered approved to
spend when appropriated. If not spent or
encumbered by the end of the fiscal year,
drops to fund balance. Typically, these
would be for RDA operating expenses.
Occasionally may be associated with a
project budget (for example, an office
remodel).
Capital Reserves Appropriations
Appropriations for programs that carry
forward each year. For instance, in the
Housing Development Loan Program,
a set amount is allocated for loans.
Staff will request additional Board
approval to use these funds for specific
loan projects. Funds not awarded to
projects roll forward to the next year,
unless reappropriated by the Board.
Project Budgets
All project budgets must pull
from appropriations. Once project
budgets have been approved by
the Board, the Agency can move
forward with spending. Project
budgets may have multiple
appropriations.
