  • City of Grand Rapids Fy 2022 Preliminary Fiscal Plan
    CITY OF GRAND RAPIDS FY 2022 PRELIMINARY FISCAL PLAN The heart shaped artwork in the center of the cover image just outside Rosa Parks Circle was designed by Kate Meyer as a part of the Have a Heart GR art display that included 12 heart-shaped artworks by 14 local artists for the World of Winter festival in February of 2021. Have a Heart GR was curated and constructed by Barbara Lash and Carlos Aceves and sponsored by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. Ms. Meyer shared that her piece was created to showcase her personal passion for protecting the natural world, and to inspire others to "fall in love" with nature too! Her non-profit partner for this project was Blandford Nature Center. Blandford's wildlife ambassadors are a highlight of any visit to the center, and the barn owl, Luna, is one of their most iconic residents.

Wallace Downtown Development Authority Treasurer SUBJECT: FY2019 Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2019 Attached are the Authority’s interim financial statements for the first nine months of fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The attached statements include: Statement A: Balance Sheet Statement B: Comparison of FY2019 Budget vs Actual Results Statement C: Statement of Project Expenditures Statement D: Schedule of February and March, 2019 Expenditures Statement E: DDA Series 2017 Bond Proceeds Statements In March, the Authority issued $618,800 of gainsharing rebates to the County of Kent, Grand Rapids Community College, the Interurban Transit Partnership (The Rapid), and the City of Grand Rapids in accordance with the Authority’s 2016 Development Plan Amendment. These rebates are recorded on Statement B as property tax increment revenue reductions rather than as expenditures to reflect the nature of the payments. Also on Statement B, the Local Tax Increment Administration budget line appears to be trending higher than expected. However, expenditures as of March 31, 2019 include three and a half months of DGRI payroll expenditures, some of which will be re-allocated to other Authority projects as well as to the Monroe North TIFA and the Downtown Improvement District.
