DEPT:FIN
SUBJECT:TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) RESOLUTIONS FOR ANNUAL URBAN
RENEWAL REPORT AND CERTIFICATION AND ANNUAL
APPROPRIATION OF NORTH DAYTON AND BARILLA TIF REBATE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The 2012 Iowa Urban Renewal and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Reform Bill included
provisions for reporting, including an Annual Urban Renewal Report. The Urban
Renewal Report must be approved by the governing board and provided to the Iowa
Department of Management to be made available to the public on an internet site.
This report includes uploading documents related to the urban renewal districts, such as the
plan document and City Council action establishing the district, as well as financial information
regarding TIF funds related to urban renewal district.
The due date for the report filing is December 1 of each year. The penalty for non-compliance
is withholding certification of tax levies.
This report includes financial information for the South Bell, ISU Research Park District 1, ISU
Research Park District 2, Barilla, Campustown (Kingland), and North Dayton Industrial Park
TIF districts. The attached Annual Urban Renewal Report is for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2025. No information is included for the Downtown Reinvestment TIF District, as no
incremental improvements were made in that district prior to January 1, 2024.
In addition to the state reporting, the City is required to certify TIF debt with the County
Auditor for the upcoming fiscal year. The ISU Research Park Districts 1 and 2 are both
General Obligation bonds approved by Council when issued, so no additional action is
required. The Barilla TIF and North Dayton districts involves a rebate of incremental property
taxes subject to annual appropriation by the City Council.
SUMMARY AND CURRENT STATUS OF TIF DEBT:
South Bell Avenue TIF
The South Bell TIF debt was issued for infrastructure improvements to expand development
along South Bell. The debt, with a principal amount of $1,152,000, was issued in 2009. The
final bond payment was made in FY 2020/21. Given the debt obligations have been repaid,
the TIF area was fully released to general taxation beginning in FY 2023/24.
Campustown TIF (Kingland)
The Campustown TIF debt was an annually appropriated rebate of property taxes to Kingland
as an economic development incentive for improvements in the Campustown area. The
maximum amount of the rebate is $2,064,530 or a term of 10 years, whichever comes first.
The City made its first incentive payment in FY 2016/17 and fulfilled the maximum
1
rebate obligation during FY 2023/24, meaning the TIF area was fully released to general
taxation beginning in FY 2024/25.
Ames ISU Research Park District 1 & 2
The Ames ISU Research Park (ISURP) TIF debt was issued for infrastructure improvements
to expand development in the ISU Research Park. The debt, with a principal amount of
$2,725,000, was issued in 2015. A second TIF district was established within the same Urban
Renewal Area (URA), and bonds with a principal amount of $290,000 were issued in 2019.
The TIF district was generating positive cash flow by FY 2017/18, and the TIF balance
accumulation was able to fully pay off the debt for Districts 1 and 2 at the end of FY
2022/23. The full value of property within the URA was released to general taxation in
FY 2023/24. While the TIF bonds will not be fully retired until FY 2030/31, the City will
spend down the accumulated TIF balance as it makes future bond payments.
Barilla TIF
The Barilla TIF debt is an annually appropriated rebate of property taxes to Barilla as an
economic development incentive for the expansion of its facility. The maximum amount of the
rebate is $2,487,805 or a term of 10 years, whichever comes first. The rebates began in FY
2020/21. The FY 2026/27 payment is a partial payment and fulfills the City's total incentive
obligations for the project. The full value will be released in FY 2027/28. Since this TIF debt
is subject to annual appropriation, the Council is required to approve the debt (rebate)
each year until the terms of the agreement are met.
North Dayton TIF
The North Dayton TIF is an annual appropriated rebate of property taxes to Dayton Avenue
Development LLC as an economic development incentive for a new 10-lot industrial
subdivision off of North Dayton Avenue. The purpose of the agreement was to rebate the
developer for the costs of installing public infrastructure for industrial lots of less than 3 acres
in size. The maximum amount of the rebate is $2,968,264 for the period ending
December 1, 2035, whichever occurs first. Since this TIF debt is subject to annual
appropriation, the Council is required to approve the debt (rebate) each year until the
terms of the agreement are met.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the City’s annual 2025 Urban Renewal Report and resolutions appropriating the
payment of a rebate of incremental taxes for the Barilla TIF and North Dayton TIF
districts.
2. Do not approve the report and resolution and refer back to staff.
2
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
In order for the City to comply with mandated reporting requirements and fulfill
requirements under the development agreement with Barilla and North Dayton Avenue
LLC, it is necessary to submit this report to the Iowa Department of Management by
December 1 of this year and approve the appropriation of the tax increment rebates.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
No. 1, as described above.
