To: Economic Development Authority Members Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator From: Robin Roland, Finance Director Date: April 9, 2015 Subject: Consider adopting a modification to the development program for development district number 1, establishing tax increment financing district 1-15 and adopting the tax increment financing plan for district 1-15 Introduction & Discussion At the February 10, 2015 Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting, the EDA passed a resolution requesting that the City Council call for a public hearing on modifying the current development plan, establishing TIF District 1-15. At the February 18, 2015 City Council meeting, the City Council passed a resolution calling for the public hearing to be held on April 15, 2015. rd The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF plan at their March 23 meeting. They found the plan to be in conformity with the comprehensive plan of the city and passed a resolution to that effect. The EDA is now asked to consider adopting a resolution creating the new TIF District and adopting the Tax Increment financing plan for that district. A summary of the district and the proposed TIF plan are attached with the resolution. The TIF plan is being created to facilitate the construction of a 100,000 square foot expansion to the existing American Logistics manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution facility in the Business Park. The EDA adopted the development agreement for this project on March 10, 2015. Appendix A of the TIF Plan has a more detailed project description if members need it. The TIF plan also includes a “sources and uses” statement on pages 2-5 and 2-6 that will serve as the maximum project budget. Appendix D addresses the cash flows of the project and shows generation of between $122,000 and $155,000 annually in tax increments for the district. Appendix F addresses the “but for” test with the conclusion that without the use of tax increments, the improvements would not be able to occur. Action Requested Adopt the resolution modifying the development district number 1, establishing TIF District 1-15 and adopting the TIF plan for the district.
