Kunz, Economic evelopment Director SUBJECT: Referral Response to the request for a report on how Redevelopment Funds will be impacted as a result of the state budget cuts. Council Referral No. 109 Councilmember Carson requested that staff provide a report on how Redevelopment Funds will be impacted as a result of the state budget cuts. The State ERAF shift will have a significant imact on the financial condition of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency. The calculated shift of funds for the 2009/2010 fiscal year is estimated at $2,777,511 and an additional shift for 2010/2011 fiscal year of$571 ,840. Payment from this years shift is planned to come from funds reserved for last year's failed ERAF Shift in the amount of$600,000, with the balance coming from available fund balances, cancellation of two restaurant programs, and the land and clearance activities accounts. This State action will in effect halt any new redevelopment activities for the next two fiscal years and will leave the three Redevelopment Project Areas without any reserves for emergency project cost changes for this year. The State action also has had a detrimental impact on the Redevelopment Agency's recent attempt to sell Affordable Housing Bonds that would provide funding for existing and planned affordable housing projects located in all three Redevelopment Project Areas. Staff is exploring other borrowing alternatives to meet a contractual obligation of $2.5 million dollars required for the South Mil Creek Courtyard family project and will seek an extension on the current City loan the Agency has in place for the 19th Street Senior Housing project that has commenced development activity. Both of these projects were included in the stalled affordable housing bond issue.
