EDC/CDC Agenda
Staff Report
Meeting Date: 3/5/2026
Staff Contact: Natasha Roach
AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on Resolution No. 2026-03-4 approving an amendment to the
FY 2025-2026 Budget to carry forward $4,980,437.00 in unexpended land acquisition
funds. (CDC)
SUMMARY:
The FY 2025–2026 CDC Budget, approved in July 2025, included an allocation of
$525,000 for Land Acquisition.
Subsequently, the CDC was presented with an opportunity to acquire downtown
property for $4,980,437.00. This amount includes the required survey, the escrow funds and the
purchase price of the land. The CDC Fund Balance has sufficient funds to cover the full
purchase amount.
For auditing and financial tracking purposes, the expenditure must be recorded within
the Land Acquisition budget category. Although this will result in the Land Acquisition
line item appearing over budget, the overage reflects a one-time transaction funded
through the CDC’s existing Fund Balance rather than an operating budget shortfall.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The acquisition in the amount of $4,980,437.00 will be funded entirely from the CDC’s
existing Fund Balance. No additional debt will be incurred, and no operating revenues
will be used to finance this purchase.
As a result of this transaction, the CDC’s Fund Balance will decrease by $4,980,437.00
and the Land Acquisition budget line will reflect an overage relative to the originally
adopted $500,000 allocation. However, this is a reporting requirement for accounting
purposes and does not represent an operating deficit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Budget Amendment as presented
ATTACHMENTS:
1. 2026-03-4 CDC Resolution - CDC Fiscal Year Budget Amendment
2. Exhibit A - CDC Budget Amendment
ANNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
effective October 1, 2025, the Anna Community Development Corporation

Recitals Incorporated
The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein for all purposes as if set forth in full.
Adoption of Amendment to the Current Fiscal Year Budget

Development Corporation current fiscal year budget as set forth in Exhibit A, amended
budget, attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes as if set forth in full. The
Board further directs that this amendment to the current fiscal year budget be submitted
to the City of Anna City Council for approval.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the Anna Community Development Corporation on this
5th day of March 2026.

AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on Resolution No. 2026-03-5 approving an amendment to the FY 2025–
2026 Budget to carry forward $2,053,129.00 in unexpended land acquisition funds. (EDC)
SUMMARY:
The FY 2025–2026 EDC Budget, approved in July 2025, did not include funds allocated to the Land
Acquisition line item.
Subsequently, the EDC was presented with an opportunity to acquire downtown property for
$2,053,129.00. This amount includes the required survey, the escrow funds and the purchase price
of the land. The EDC Fund Balance has sufficient funds to cover the full purchase amount.
For auditing and financial tracking purposes, the expenditure must be recorded within the Land
Acquisition budget category. Although this will result in the Land Acquisition line item appearing over
budget, the overage reflects a one-time transaction funded through the EDC’s existing Fund Balance
rather than an operating budget shortfall.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The acquisition in the amount of $2,053,129.00 will be funded entirely from the EDC’s existing Fund
Balance. No additional debt will be incurred, and no operating revenues will be used to finance this
purchase.
As a result of this transaction, the EDC’s Fund Balance will decrease by $2,050,329.00. The Land
Acquisition budget line will reflect an overage to the originally adopted allocation of $0. However, this
is a reporting requirement for accounting purposes and does not represent an operating deficit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval fo the Budget Amendment as presented.
