On 08/14/2023, the City Council approved the purchase of the real property addressed as 256 and 264 Krueger Avenue for $1,000,000 and authorization for the City Manager to execute all necessary agreements and approval of the associated budget amendment for FY 2023 totaling $250,000. The property owner agreed to allow the City to spread the cost of the property acquisition over four years (FY 2023-FY 2026). 

 

This was a unique opportunity to reduce the upfront cash outlay for the property. In discussions with the City’s auditor as well as internal review of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), it is recommended for the budget to recognize the entire purchase of $1,000,000 and the owner financed debt associated with this purchase (3 subsequent payments of $250,000 per year made in FY 2024, FY 2025, and FY 2026.

 

 

Budget Amendment - General Fund - The following budget amendment is necessary to recognize the full acquisition cost and offsetting proceeds from issuance (owner financing) associated land purchase in FY 2023 as referenced above. Therefore, there is no actual impact to fund balance from this entry.
