CCDA Budget - FY2015-2016CCDA - PAGE 1 FY 2015-2016 INFORMATION PAGE PAGE 2 - CITY OF TIGARD FY 2015-2015 BUDGET MESSAGE Message to the City Center Development Agency Budget Committee and the Residents of Tigard I am pleased to present the 2015-16 budget for Tigard’s City Center Development Agency (CCDA). The City Center Development Agency is charged with the revitalization of downtown Tigard and implementation of the Urban Renewal Plan, approved by voters in May of 2006. The district’s source of funding is (property) tax increment financing, which represents a financing tool to assist with redevelopment. When the CCDA was established, the assessed valuation of the district was frozen. Property taxes collected on any growth in assessed value above the frozen base (called the tax increment) go to the CCDA. Tigard’s Urban Renewal District is modestly sized geographically, and in terms of its debt capacity. The district’s redevelopment depends on public and private investment that will contribute to revi- talizing downtown and create a foundation for continued growth in the tax increment. To help cre- ate that foundation, the city completed key improvements on Main Street to improve the function- ality and appearance of Downtown; also, the CCDA made a key purchase of a commercial proper- ty on Burnham Street for future redevelopment to aid in meeting the Urban Renewal Plan for rede- velopment and increasing the tax increment. There is a potential second property purchase that the city will make with Park Bond funds targeted for Downtown is also included in the city’s budg- et. 2014-15 saw key accomplishments by Tigard’s Urban Renewal District. The aforementioned prop- erty purchase will aid future redevelopment along Burnham Street and will provide property lease income to the CCDA until redevelopment occurs. The preparation of a property currently used by the city Public Works department for redevelopment is progressing and we hope to have redevel- opment on that site during this fiscal year. In addition to these activities, the CCDA concluded its façade improvement program, started a Strolling Street program, and awarded matching grants funds to attract a new destination business. Lastly, the CCDA updated the financial forecast to re- flect these activities. The result is that resources available for programs will be constrained in the next several years and the agency’s window to borrow additional funds is closed for about five more years. Looking ahead to 2015-16, the agency plans to finalize the development partnership for a residen- tial mixed-use development at privately-owned sites and also the agency-owned site on Ash Ave- nue. The Strolling Street Landscaping program will continue in 2015-16 to encourage the beautifi- cation of spaces between buildings and public space. In addition to the Ash Avenue development, the CCDA will continue to explore other redevelopment opportunities and promote public space in Downtown through a study of suitability and concept design. CCDA - PAGE 3 FY 2014-2015 BUDGET MESSAGE Respectfully submitted, Marty Wine City Center Development Agency Executive Director Tigard’s redevelopment efforts are possible due to the contributions and commitment of volun- teers on the City Center Advisory Commission, who serve to advance the vision for downtown re- development. That partnership is strengthened with the support of the non-profit Tigard Down- town Alliance, in which business and property owners advocate for their interests. These efforts combine for a positive partnership and change happening on the ground in Downtown Tigard.
