November 30, 1999.

1.1 RESOLUTION MODIFYING DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1
AND ADOPTING THE MODIFICATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM THEREFORE• AND ESTABLISHING TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1-2 THEREIN AND ADOPTING THE TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR.
Sid Inman of Ehlers & Associates, Inc. presented the most recent updated tax increment plan
to the councilmembers. Mr. Inman stated at the 7:30 p.m. City Council meeting tonight
there would be a public hearing to approve the plan and at that time Mr. Inman will read the
changes that were made into the plan unless the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
would like to hear them now. Mr. Inman stated the purpose for tonight's Housing and
• Redevelopment Authority meeting it to approve the plan before the City Council meeting.
MOUND HRA MINUTES -DECEMBER 14, 1999
Councilmember Brown stated there were changes to the tax increment plan because of the
• Green Tee and Phillip 66 parcels the Planning Commission added into the plan on Monday,
December 13.
Prosser corrected Brown. Evidently parcels at this point cannot be added or expanded at this
point in time; they can only be decreased. If any parcels are added, the whole process of
applying will need to start completely over.
Mr. Chamberlain stated there was a parcel removed that was a marsh or wetland area owned
by the City and Tom Reise's residential property south of Bartlett Boulevard.
The consensus from the councilmembers was to wait and hear the changes in the tax
increment financing plan in more detail at tonight's public hearing.
Councilmember Hanus restated the parcels that were changed are the pieces mentioned by
Mr. Chamberlain, and the parcels mentioned by Councilmember Brown that the Planning
Commission wanted to add in from their December 13, 1999, meeting would not be included
at this point.
Councilmember Brown stated he understands why the pieces at this point cannot be put in
which were approved by the Planning Commission, although, he would like to know how
much trouble it would be in the future to include those back into the tax increment financing
• plan.
Mr. Inman stated the statute requires the same process for any amount of parcels being added
or expanded back into the tax increment financing plan. He stated there would be
notifications and qualification as in the beginning consisting of the property needing to be 70
percent occupied and 51 percent substandard. Mr. Inman stated his first guess is these
properties would qualify.
Councilmember Hanus stated even if the City did not want to add the Green Tee and the
Phillip 66 parcels back in, the City can still spend the 25 percent of increment money outside
the district.
Councilmember Ahrens asked why the properties would not get included in the district. Mr.
Inman stated if there was a financial gain or a change in the law, they would get added into
the district.
The City Attorney stated as time goes by there will be some fine tuning with the Plan and at
that time it would be appropriate to modify the Plan by including additional parcels if there is
a need.
Ahrens moved and Hanusseconded the followin resolution as submitted asked to have it
moved onto the City Council for approval.
