Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
In 2018, the citizens of Denver approved a 0.25 percent increase of Sales and Use tax to support Parks, Trails and Open Space, now called the Parks Legacy Fund. The sales tax is dedicated to the improvement and expansion of Denver’s parks and recreation system
The Parks Legacy Special Revenue Fund receives the sales tax revenue, and funds are transferred from the Parks Legacy Fund to the Parks Legacy Capital Improvements Fund as allowable projects are identified. These transactions primarily happen as part of the annual budget process.
As the 2022 budget development process was nearing completion, additional capital projects were identified from Legacy funds and appropriated in the Parks Legacy Capital Improvements Fund as part of the 2022 CIP Budget. However, the operating and transfer appropriations in the Parks Legacy SRF were not adjusted to reflect the addition of these projects to the capital project appropriation, which is correct in both the 2022 budget document and the 2022 Annual Appropriation Ordinance (CB21-1284; AKA The Long Bill.) The difference between the two appropriations is $1,346,000, and so this bill request authorizes rescinding that amount from the SRF operating budget and appropriating it to the cash transfer in the SRF, and then making cash transfers to the Parks Legacy Capital Funds 36045 and 36050. This reconciles the cash to support the capital appropriation in accordance with the 2022 Legacy plan presented to City Council.
