PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Whitewater Debt Service Fund accounts for receipt of property tax revenue known as tax increment
revenue generated by the Whitewater Project Area of the Redevelopment Agency. Pursuant to
redevelopment law, 20% of the tax increment revenue generated is to be expended for low-and moderate-
income housing purposes. The remaining 80% is available for debt service on Redevelopment Agency
indebtedness, required sharing of tax increment revenue with other taxing agencies pursuant to formal
agreements (commonly known as pass-through agreements), Redevelopment Agency operating costs
such as 50% of the salary and benefits of the Economic Development Director and Management Analyst
(the other 50% is paid by Northside), the Riverside County's fee to collect tax increment revenue, the
reimbursement to the General Fund for staff support and capital projects.
Budgeted tax increment revenue for the Whitewater Debt Service Fund is reported at gross. Twenty
percent (20%) of this gross is transferred to the Redevelopment Agency's Low Cost Housing Fund and
subsequently to the Housing Authority. After addressing requirements for debt service, pass-through
payments and identified operating costs, available tax increment is transferred to the Whitewater Capital
Projects Fund.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
FY 2003-04
Total estimated property tax increment for FY 2003-04 is $13,056,000 of which 20% or $2,611,200
is set aside for housing purposes. This assumes a 7% estimated growth in assessed values.
Total principal and interest debt service expenditure for the fiscal year is $3,155,256. This is based
on the debt service schedules for 1994, 1997, 2001 and 2002 tax allocation bonds.
311
Only $21,971 of tax increment is projected to be available for transfer to Whitewater Capital Projects
Fund. This amount will fluctuate based on the size of the ERAF shift. Were there no ERAF shift, the
transfer would be $305,543.
• In FY 2002-03, the Whitewater Debt Service Fund paid $283,5?2 for the ERAF (Education Revenue
Augmentation Fund) shift of tax. increment revenue to K-12 schools and community colleges. For
budgeting purposes, it is projected that $283,572 will be paid in FY 2003-04 as well since it is
unknown what amount the State will establish. A higher amount will eliminate the $21,971
budgeted transfer to the Whitewater Capital Project Fund.
• Staff is currently reviewing the financial feasibility of issuing tax allocation bonds in early FY 2003-
04. Additional debt service costs and revenue from bond proceeds have not been budgeted.
FY 2004-05
• Total estimated property tax increment for FY 2004-OS is $13,654,000 of which 20% or $2,730,800
is set aside for housing purposes. This assumes a 4.6% estimated growth in assessed values.
• Total principal and interest debt service expenditures of $3,260,428. This is based on debt service
schedules for the 1994,1997, 2001 and 2002 tax allocation bonds.
• No .tax increment is projected. to be available for transfer to Whitewater Capital Projects Fund. Were
there no ERAF shift, the transfer would be $283,572.
• At June 30, 2002, the Whitewater Project Area was owed $5,964,000 by the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (ROTC) for the prior widening of Highway 111. This amount is
currently $6.1 million. Based on information provided by the Coachella Valley Association. of
Governments (CVAG), repayment is projected to occur as follows: $1.6 million in FY 2003-04, $1.8
million in FY 2004-05, $1.9 million in FY 2005-06, and $800,000 in FY 2006-07. The first two
payments have been budgeted as revenue in the Capital Projects Fund.
• At June 30, 2002, the Whitewater Project Area owed the General Fund $5,636,919. By June 30,
2003, this amount is projected to increase to approximately $7.1 million. Above repayments from
RCTC through CVAG will be used to repay this debt. Principal repayment ®f $572,681 and
$1,075,540 is budgeted in the Capital Project Fund for FYs 2003-04 and 2004-05, respectively.
Budgeted interest payments on the debt total $238,000 and $239,000 in FY 2003-04 and FY 2004-05,
respectively.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Whitewater Capital Projects Fund is one of two capital projects funds of the Redevelopment Agency's
five funds; the other is the Northside Capital Projects Fund. This Fund is used to account for resources used
to finance a variety of capital projects, an economic incentive program and various operating costs such as
the annual reimbursement to the General Fund for staff support. Fifty percent of staff costs related to the
Economic Development Director and Management Analyst positions are charged directly to this Fund. The
remaining 50% is charged to the Northside Capital Projects Fund.
This Fund relies on two sources of funding. The first source is the annual transfer of tax increment from the
Whitewater Debt Service Fund. The second source of funding is bond proceeds. In the case of this Fund, all
proceeds from the 1997, 2001 and 2002 tax allocation bonds have previously been spent.
