Item No.
By: Kirk McDonald, Director of CD By:
Amy Baldwin, CD Assistant
RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE DECERTIFICATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS
NOS. 80-2 AND 81-1
REOUESTED ACTION
Staff requests EDA approval of the attached resolution prepared by Krass Monroe, the city's redevelopment
financial consultant, decertifying tax increment financing districts nos. 80-2 and 81-1. A resolution must be
considered by both the EDA and the City Council to finalize the decertification. According to Krass Monroe,
the resolution should be approved by the EDA first, and then by the City Council.
POLICY/PAST PRACTICE
City goal #2 is to pursue the maintenance and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties within
the city. In the past, the Council has approved similar resolutions relating to tax increment financing districts.
BACKGROUND
Two tax increment financing districts, 80-2 (Hillsboro and 36th Avenue) and 81-1 (Senior Housing), were
established in the early 1980s to aid with housing projects within the city. The authorized activities related to
the projects are complete and there are no outstanding obligations for which revenues from these districts are
pledged. Therefore, the city seeks to decertify the districts and return the associated parcels to the regular tax
rolls. Background information is provided on this matter under the City Council request and it is not the
intention to duplicate all of that information in this request for action.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
