Noncurrent liabilities. On May 25, 2011, the Agency issued $7,900,000 of Downtown Urban Renewal District Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2011 A, bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.20% and maturing on June 1, 2020. The proceeds of the bonds were used to refund $4.4 million in principal associated with the City’s Broadway Garages limited tax bonds and provide $3.5 million in financial assistance to Lane Community College for construction of their new Downtown campus. During the year the Agency paid the scheduled principal payment of $878,000 plus $1.2 million of additional “early” principal payment to reduce the remaining debt obligation. Additional information on the Agency’s noncurrent liabilities can be found in note (4)(D) of this report. Next Year’s Budgets and Rates For FY17, the following factors were taken into account when developing the urban renewal budgets: Property taxes in both the Downtown and Riverfront Districts are predicted to increase due to a projected increase in the assessed value of properties in the districts. The property tax collection rate for both districts is estimated to be 94% in FY17. The FY16 collection rate was 95.9% overall with the Riverfront District being 95.7% and the Downtown district being 96.1%. The Downtown District FY17 budget includes principal and interest payments on debt issued, loan program management, and general oversight.
