- Analysis -
This resolution transfers $80,000 in funds from the Capital Improvements Planning Account into four Subaccounts: $25,000 to Subaccount No. UR01280117 for an analysis of the West Atkinson Avenue and West Capitol Drive area (1st Aldermanic District); $25,000 to Subaccount No. UR01280116 for an analysis of the North 35th Street and West North Avenue area (7th and 17th Aldermanic Districts); $15,000 into the Planning Studies-Economic Development Subaccount No. UR01280028; and $15,000 into the Special Engineering and Technical Studies Subaccount No. UR01280041. The resolution provides authority for the proper City officials to enter into contracts or agreements to accomplish the two area studies. The allocations to the two "special studies" subaccounts will allow the Department of City Development to obtain consultant assistance on studies of housing, commercial and residential developments, and land use as well as other technical planning studies as the need arises.
BODY:
Whereas, The Department of City Development ("DCD") continues work on neighborhood residential and commercial analysis and development as well as land use policy development; and
Whereas, St. Mark's A.M.E. Anvil Housing Corporation has offered to assist DCD in performing an analysis of the commercial development and land use in the West Atkinson Avenue and West Capitol Drive area; and
Whereas, DCD desires to use consultant services to analyze the feasibility of using a tax increment district to fund commercial revitalization efforts in the North 35th Street and West North Avenue area; and
Whereas, The current unencumbered balances in the Planning Studies-Economic Development Subaccount and the Special Engineering and Technical Studies Subaccount are insufficient to cover these and other anticipated 1999 needs; now, therefore, be it

Anvil Housing for an analysis of commercial development and land use in the West Atkinson Avenue and West Capitol Drive area. The City Attorney, in consultation with the Commissioner of City Development, is authorized to make any non-substantive technical changes in the Agreement which they determine to be consistent with the intent and purpose of this resolution, without further approval of the Common Council; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Department of City Development is authorized and directed to undertake an analysis of the feasibility of using a tax increment district to fund commercial revitalization efforts in the North 35th Street and West North Avenue area, including entering into contracts with qualified planning consultants in accordance with City procedures; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is authorized and directed to transfer the amount of $25,000 from the Capital Improvements Planning Account, Account No. UR01280000, to Subaccount No. UR01280117 for the analysis of the West Atkinson Avenue and West Capitol Drive area; to transfer the amount of $25,000 from the Capital Improvements Planning Account, Account No. UR01280000, to Subaccount No. UR01280116 for the analysis of the North 35th Street and West North Avenue area; and to transfer the amount of $30,000 from the Capital Improvements Planning Account, Account No. UR01280000, to two existing Subaccounts, Planning Studies-Economic Development Account No. UR01280028, $15,000, and Special Engineering and Technical Studies Account No. UR01280041, $15,000, to be used by the Department of City Development, as the need may arise, to support residential and commercial analyses and land use policy development.
