SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF 2021 BUDGET <br />DATE: DECEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 2 OF 4 <br />Beginning Fund Balance <br />Staff projects a 2020 ending fund balance of $1,730,128, which is the beginning fund <br />balance for 2021. <br />Revenue <br />Staff has received the preliminary 2020 assessed valuation from Boulder County. This <br />valuation, along with the overlapping mill levies, will determine the amount of property tax <br />revenue received by the URD during 2021. The final assessed valuation is not yet <br />available. <br />The URD's gross assessed valuation increased from $65,711,407 in 2019 to $66,864,504 <br />in 2020. The URD's base assessed valuation decreased from $44,449,036 in 2019 to <br />$43,961,640 in 2020. The difference between the gross valuation and the base valuation <br />equals the incremental valuation, which multiplied by the overlapping levies, is the amount <br />of property tax revenue captured by the URD. The URD's incremental assessed valuation <br />for 2020 is $22,902,864. The overlapping levies are estimated at 92.736 mills. Multiplying <br />these amounts, and accounting for Boulder County's collection fee, results in an <br />estimated property tax revenue of $2,092,050 for 2021. <br />Interest Earnings are currently proposed at $50,000 for 2021. This amount will be <br />adjusted up or down depending on the final amount, and timing, of budgeted <br />expenditures. <br />Expenditures <br />Support Services are payments to the City of Louisville for services such as accounting, <br />budget, revenue collection, disbursements, debt administration, legal services, and <br />general administration. The proposed 2021 budget is $60,000. <br />The LRC has previously committed to a City of Louisville capital project: Undergrounding <br />at Hwy 42/Griffith Street. The Undergrounding work at Hwy 42 was identified as a priority <br />through the City Council Utility Committee and is anticipated to improve service reliability. <br />The project would be funded by a $170,000 contribution from LRC and $500,000 from the <br />1 % fund with Xcel and is therefore carried into 2021. <br />Under the Tri-Party Agreement, the URD is required to remit 7.15% of net property tax <br />revenue back to Boulder County. The proposed budget for 2021 is $149,580. <br />The LRC and City Council executed an agreement for revenue sharing with the Louisville <br />Fire Protection District in 2020. The first payment required under that agreement will be <br />made in Q1 2021 and will be applied to the 2020 budget. Per the agreement terms, the <br />proposed budget for 2021 is: $54,680. <br />In April 2020, the LRC entered into an Agreement for Public Infrastructure with 824 South, <br />Inc. The agreement provides for a $275,000 rebate based on approved project expenses, <br />Agenda Packet P. 6 <br />
