Prepared By: Pearce Miller, Management Analyst II
Date Prepared: November 9, 2026
PURPOSE
To provide an overview of the 2027 Brighton Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”) Budget for City Council approval.
BACKGROUND
Per State statutes, the DDA adopts a budget for the following fiscal year, and the City Council approves the budget. This is the first year that City Council will approve a budget for the DDA.
In November of 2026, the DDA adopted its 2027 budget. The Brighton Downtown Development Authority is now seeking approval of its 2027 budget by the City Council. Adoption of the budget creates the appropriation that allows the DDA to spend the funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City since the funds have been given to the DDA from the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority.
