Re: Redevelopment Update Item 4B
At the September 11 meeting, staff will provide a verbal update regarding the progress
of various redevelopment projects. As you know, the City Council and EDA approved
development agreements for two redevelopment projects in July. TIF District 1-12, a
. redevelopment district, was also approved in July. As reported in the local newspaper,
Rose of Sharon church accepted an offer from Semper Development and set a tentative
closing date for later this month. Home Depot plans were approved at the August 15
meeting.

Re: Proposed 2002 Budget Item 4C
The EDA approved a proposed 2002 budget that included a request to increase
the levy amount by $104,400. The additional revenue, if approved by City
Council, would be budgeted as a capital expenditure.
The Council has scheduled an additional budget workshop for Monday,
• September 10. Because of the effects of the tax law changes, it is anticipated
that this will be a very difficult budget to balance. The Council will hold a special
meeting on Wednesday, September 12 to adopt a preliminary levy.
Since final budget details are expected to be worked out at the September 10
workshop, staff will be able to provide a verbal update at the September 11 EDA
meeting.

Re: 2001 Golf Tournament Item 4D
Attached is information prepared by Scott Johnson regarding the August 21
tournament. As of this writing is appears expenditures exceed revenues by
$5,290.78. In 2000, the net cost of the tournament was reported at $3,469.61,
while in 1999 the net cost was $4,075.24.
• It appears that the largest increase was in fees paid to River Oaks for golf,
beverages, and dinner. We are still investigating the increase over 2000. We
plan to have an updated verbal report at your September 11 meeting.
