Item Summary: In November 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-R0522 that established a program to be called the "Low -to -Moderate Income Neighborhood Infrastructure Program" that provided funding for sidewalks, paving, park improvements, and grant matches to obtain additional monies for these improvements in low -to -moderate income neighborhoods in the City of Lubbock. The original funding source for the program was 50 percent of mineral interest revenues received in General Fund that exceeded the budgeted amount for mineral interests primarily located in the north and east portions of the City. This Resolution would amend the original Low -to -Moderate Income Neighborhood Infrastructure Program to provide additional funding to the program from all mineral interests collected by the City of Lubbock, which would otherwise be included in the City's General Fund. In order to better allocate these funds, this Resolution would replace the Low -to - Moderate Income Neighborhood Program with the "North and East Lubbock Neighborhood and Infrastructure Program Fund." As stated in the Resolution, the North and East Lubbock Neighborhood and Infrastructure Program Fund shall be used to benefit Lubbock City Council Districts 1 and 2. All revenues received from City of Lubbock mineral interests that would normally be included in General Fund revenues be deposited in the North and East Lubbock Neighborhood and Infrastructure Program Fund beginning in Fiscal Year 2013-2014. Twenty-five (25) percent of the revenues shall be allocated to downtown redevelopment and neighborhood infrastructure projects, which shall fund various downtown redevelopment and neighborhood infrastructure projects as approved by the City Council, and seventy-five (75) percent of the revenues shall be allocated by grant to the North and East Lubbock Community Development Corporation. Because the income received from the City's Mineral Interests may fluctuate, depending upon market conditions, allocations of the funds will be determined after audited financials for each fiscal year, beginning with Fiscal Year 2013-2014, are received. Once revenues are determined, based on the audited financials, a budget for the funds shall be prepared and submitted to the City Council for approval. If the budget is approved by the City Council, payments of the allocations will begin as soon thereafter as possible. Fiscal Impact: StaffBoard Recommending: Cheryl Brock, Budget Director
