The City’s FY 2010 top financial priority was to proactively address changes in the revenue forecast and implement a structurally balanced budget. The budget was amended during FY 2010 in order to make it so.
The FY 2011 budget is structurally balanced.
The City’s budgetary surplus preliminary estimate totals $6.7 million - $3.5 million in revenue surplus and $3.2 million in expenditure savings
Revenue
Unlike FY 2009 when revenues were far below the forecast, the FY 2010 forecast was closely monitored and refined to ensure that forecast and collections were in alignment – ending within 99.4% of the forecast.
General property tax collections greater than expected.Increased collections in Machinery & Tools and Bank Franchise taxes Increased collections related to delinquent accounts due to improved practices.Partially offsetting improvements in revenue were declines in sales tax, intergovernmental payments and declines in revenue related to charges for goods and services.

Broad Street CDA Overview
The CDA was created by City Council Ordinance on July 2, 2002.
The CDA owns three parking garages and two surface parking lots located in the 31.5 acres that constitute the CDA District.
In 2003, the CDA issued $66.7 million of 30-Year Revenue Bond debt with $65.7 million outstanding today.
This CDA bond debt carries interest rates of 7.10% - 7.500%.The City can issue GO bond debt today at rates of 3.50% - 4.00%
48
City Obligations Under the Current CDA Structure
City’s $3.0 Million Moral Obligation
$250,000 – annual payments for Special Parking Rights
$400,000 – annual payments for Richmond Coliseum
From 2004-2008, $3.25 Million in payments, not including principal payments
Debt was sold as unrated (junk) bonds at high interest rates
Adverse impact on the City’s bond ratings in the event of a CDA default
49
Restructuring of CDA Debt
Replacing high interest rate CDA debt with lower interest rate City issued GO Bonds is projected to reduce the annual debt service outlay on the $65.7 million of debt by approximately $1.3 million per year. (From $6.1 million to $4.8 million annually).
New restructured debt would begin repayment in FY 2012 (No FY2011 payment) with final maturity in FY2032 (Same final maturity as existing CDA bonds).
City would better control the management of public parking in downtown Richmond. Other parking assets could be folded in at later dates. Recent parking study strongly recommends that City consolidate CDA, RRHA, RMA, and City owned parking assets under one parking entity.
