Appropriate an additional $40,000 to the El Paseo Business Improvement District Fund 271-4491-464-32.15; and 2. Increase estimated revenue funds for the El Paseo Improvement District by $40,000. Executive Summary: Additional funding has been collected and was approved by the El Paseo Board of Directors for advertising, including Fashion Week on El Paseo, and new street banners. A correction for the Fund's mid -year adjustment did not occur. Therefore, staff is requesting the above action as a "housekeeping" item for the budget. Discussion: Each year, the El Paseo Business Improvement District conservatively underestimates funding in order not to over spend in its accounts. At the mid -year adjustment, revenue accounts are reviewed and adjustments are made correcting the fund to allow for either an increase or decrease in collections. Funds are then redistributed and additional funding, if available, is allocated while still leaving at least a 10% contingency for a year-end balance. While staff performed the mid -year review with the El Paseo Business Improvement District's Board of Directors, placing the request during mid -year adjustments was missed due to an extended medical absence by staff. Therefore, staff requests Council to approve the above recommendations. uth-}din Moor16, Economic Dev. Manager Paul S.
