ANNOUNCEMENTS • None PUBLIC APPEARANCES • None DISCUSSION RE: ROLE OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Trevor Fuller provided a presentation. • The Community Development Authority (CDA) is an economic and planning tool for municipalities. • State statutes defines the make-up of the appointed body. • Similar entities found in other communities in Wisconsin is a Redevelopment Authority (RDA) and Housing Authority. A Redevelopment Authority is more specific towards economic development and urban land renewal. A Housing Authority is more specific to housing related projects. Community Development Authority is a combination of both. A community cannot have a Community Development Authority if you have a Redevelopment Authority and Housing Authority. • The CDA works in tandem with the Plan Commission. • Roles and responsibilities of the CDA can include: ­ Planning and financing redevelopment projects. Often, the main financing source will come from the Tax Increment Finance District (TID). ­ Oversee revolving loan funds or housing programs sometimes administered through Federal programs, such as Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). ­ Finance and implement infrastructure projects, like the reconstruction of Webster Avenue or portions of Riverside Drive. ­ Manage property for a community with the intent of future profitable income. ­ Own homes with the intent of selling within an affordable demographic. FUTURE OPPORTUNITES The committee discussed future projects and opportunities: • Funds have been allocated for a housing rehabilitation revolving loan fund. Staff would like the Community Development Authority involved in setting the parameters of the loan program.
