Subject: Item 32b on Council agenda
Item 32(b) on the Council agenda for this evening is "Third passage and adoption of
ORDINANCE NO.4397 creating Tax-Increment Financing District No. 2."
The ordinance that was passed on first and second readings at the two prior Council
meetings had a legal description of the "Urban Renewal Area" that we knew would have
to change before third/final reading. For various reasons, we were unable to have have
the precise legal description of the area prepared before the first two Council meetings
where this ordinance was considered. But we needed to start the ordinance-passage
process so the TIF can be established before December. (One of the reasons was that
staff needed to complete the Final Plat that is item #22 on tonight's agenda before we
would have a totally accurate legal description).
The ordinance you have in the packet already contains the revised legal
description/definition of "Urban Renewal Area." Therefore, we need to have a
motion adopted to amend the ordinance to the new language before the vote on the
third/final passage. It can be as simple as "I move to amend the ordinance to reflect
the description of 'Urban Renewal Area' contained in the version that was in our
packets" or something like that. After that motion passes, then the Council can vote
on third and final passage.
Here is the new version, which is in your packets:

occurred:
