Vision Principle: A Robust and Prospering Economy. Background: . New Port is a planned residential community. Various infrastructure improvements are funded by bonds issued by the New Port Community Development Authority (CDA). The bonds will be repaid by special assessments against properties within the CDA, at no cost to the City. . On August 23, 2005, the City Council adopted an ordinance creating the New Port Community Development Authority ("CDA") and establishing the New Port Community Development Authority District ("CDA District") in the "Victory" area of the City. . On February 14, 2006, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a special assessment for the New Port CDA. Discussion: . Although the City is not financially responsible for repayment of these bonds, the City agreed to bill, collect, and remit the special assessment revenue to the CDA. . The appropriation is a legal requirement in order for the City to remit the revenue generated by the CDA assessments to the New Port CDA. In the future, this budgetary matter will become part of the normal budget cycle and, as such, a supplemental appropriation will not be necessary.
