Even at this reduced revenue level, it appears that enough 2003 <br />increment will be generated to service the debt obligations of the G.O. Tax Increment Bond Fund <br />No, 325 ($285,093 in 2003). <br /> <br />Proposed 2003 Budl!:ct Summarv <br />Total 2003 EDA revenues of $427,325 are budgeted to exceed 2003 expenditures and debt <br />service payments of $405,933 by $21,392 (Attachment A), Tbe budget assumptions are that the <br />Chesapeake Companies development project will remain in the parcel assembly stage in 2003 <br />and that any costs the EDA may incur in the support of this effort will be reimbursable by the <br />developer. <br /> <br />The Commissioners may also note the budgeting of $20,590 in Fund No, 701 total salary costs to <br />support the Chesapeake project as it ramps up in 2003 in addition to staff efforts to effect a land <br />sale of the remnant Indykiewicz parcel. <br /> <br />There are no sidewalk/trail improvement costs budgeted in TIF District No, 3 (Cottage Villas) <br />Fund No, 3 although the District will have a forecast $39,350 ending fund balance as of <br />December 31, 2003, The Commissioners may consider linking such a sidewalk/trail <br />improvement with development on the Cleveland Avenue/County Road E2 comer. <br /> <br />Activities in the Business Revolving Loan Fund No. 702 continue to reflect just the collection of <br />note installment payments from Guidant from a prior Minnesota Department of Trade and <br />Economic Development (DTED) loan, The last installment loan payment on this loan is <br />scheduled to be received in May, 2003. The remaining unpaid principal balance at December 31, <br />2002, is $14,215, The ending fund balance in this fund is forecast at $119,097 as of December <br />
