The annual report of activity for the urban renewal district during the 2020-21 fiscal year has been prepared and is ready for filing.
Summary and Background
ORS 457.460 requires all urban renewal districts to prepare an annual report of financial activities. This statutory requirement states that the report shall be submitted to the governing body of the municipality in which the district is located. The attached report details the revenue brought in and expended by the urban renewal agency from July 2020 to June 2021 and details the impact the district's tax collection had on all other taxing districts. Taxes collected by the district had negligible impact on all districts with the City of Hermiston forgoing the most revenue with 1.30% of total revenues foregone.
Under ORS 457, the annual report must be filed with the governing body of the city containing the urban renewal district each year.
