Resolution authorizing an emergency appropriation in the amount of $32,000 for services in Special Service Area Number 17 (SSA #17), Ivanhoe Estates.
Staff Summary
• Special Service Area #17 was established to fund the repair, reconstruction and maintenance of private streets within the Ivanhoe Estates residential community.
• The amount budgeted in the fiscal year (FY) 2025 budget was $14,160 for expenses, an amount equal to the levied property tax revenue for FY2025. However, repairs approved by the residential community require additional funding in the amount of $32,000.
• A fund balance exists in an amount of $71,628 at the end of FY2024 and $13,822 in property tax revenue has been received year to date with no expenses. Therefore, there are sufficient funds for the road repairs.
• This resolution appropriates funds in Fund 290 SSA #17 for payment of FY 2025 contractual services for the additional amount of $55,000.
