News Update on CCDC Projects in the (former) Central URD
Central, the city’s oldest district is home to 8th Street cafes, The Grove Plaza, and Idaho’s tallest buildings and the greatest pedestrian activity.
The Central District terminated at midnight, September 30, 2018. The City of Boise assumed most ongoing management responsibilities on October 1, 2018. This letter from Mayor Bieter contains additional information including names and numbers to contact at the City.
CCDC to Deliver Additional Revenue to Taxing Districts: The Agency completed its aggressive, sunset year reconstruction of the Central District in this manner: On time and under budget. The not-quite-final Central District balance is $661,378.41, which CCDC will return to the country for distribution to the taxing entities. This amount represents 6.6% of the $10.1 million Central District Termination Budget previously approved by the Board. Great care was taken not to overspend Central’s final budget. All Central District work ceased on or before the end of September.
Several projects came in substantially under-budget and account for most of the FY 2018 balance. These include Central District-wide Close-out Improvements ($163,872); Capitol & Main Parking Garage Painting ($88,970); Traffic Box Art Wraps / Art Conservation Grant ($87,860); Program Operations ($63,860); and Central District-wide Repairs & Maintenance ($61,700).
Once the annual, independent audit of the Agency’s financial statements is final and Central District’s FY 2018 tax increment revenue fund balance is locked down, CCDC will deliver a check for that amount to Ada County for pro rata distribution to the seven taxing districts based on FY 2017 levy rates. This is the final step in closing Central District’s books. As usual, Eide Bailly auditors were on-site the first two weeks of November and produced a draft before month’s end. Release of the final version is targeted for late December.
