NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh that the 2020 Operating Budget, on file in the City Clerk's Office, is hereby amended to add the following: Acct. No. 526-1040-xxx 100 Block Redevelopment increase by$250,000.00 fid tad Oshkosh TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE: April 7, 2020 RE: Approve Budget Amendment to TID 16 100 Block Redevelopment 2020 Operating Budget ($250,000) BACKGROUND Recent events created by the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many small businesses in the Central City. TID #16 was created in 2001 to redevelop the 100 Block of North Main Street. TID #16 is in a good geographic location to extend a new Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) centered on a '/2 mile radius around the 100 Block. TID #16 has a cash balance of about$740,000; however, there are still outstanding debt payments that must be made, so the cash balance available for a new RLF-TID 16 fund is about $250,000. City funded the City's original Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) with cash proceeds from TIF Districts terminated with cash balances. Many small businesses today find themselves in a situation they did not create, making them short on capital, and needing to fund on-going rent and payroll costs, with little or no income. To help alleviate that issue, TID 16 can use its cash balance on a temporary emergency measure. In the case of TID #16, the cash balance is proposed to be used earlier than planned for a RLF-TID 16 fund, prior to termination. ANALYSIS The City's original Revolving Loan Fund was established to be a flexible, gap financing tool for businesses producing high-income jobs, through projects that expand, attract or retain those jobs. The RLF-TID 16 fund is attempting to fill a gap in the revenue to retain businesses located in the central part of the City. The target markets for the RLF-TID 16 include small businesses that are located exclusively inside the central part of the City. State Law allows TID districts to spend within a 1/2 mile of the TID boundary, with Joint Review Board approval. The Joint Review Board approved the 1/2 mile radius expenditures on April 1, 2020. A map of the 1/2 mile radius area is attached. The small businesses located outside the central part of the City can also be served by the proposed City Hall,215 Church Avenue P.O.Box 1130 Oshkosh,WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us RLF-COVID 19 fund. City Council action to appropriate the funds for RLF COVID-19 is also on the April 14, 2020 Council agenda. The proposed RLF-TID 16 program would be temporary and follow a modified version of the RLF manual, administered by GOEDC and follow the same basic outline in the information sheet that the RLF-COVID 19 Emergency Loan Fund will follow. The City is also working to amend TID 14 and TID 19 Project Plans to donate additional funds to TID 16 for the RLF-TID 16 fund. The Joint Review Board, Plan Commission and City Council will be reviewing and acting on the proposed amendments in April, 2020. FISCAL IMPACT The $250,000 for the RLF-TID 16 is funded with current surplus TID 16 funds, and therefore has no impact on the levy. In theory, all the loaned RLF-TID 16 funds are planned to be repaid at 2% interest. That repayment would replenish the TID 16 fund and then upon termination, the cash balance would be distributed to the taxing jurisdictions. However, there may be some loans that are not repaid, and that would result in a smaller return to the TID 16 cash balance, and a smaller cash balance to be distributed to the taxing jurisdictions RECOMMENDATION The City Council approves the proposed Budget Amendment to TID #16 100 Block Redevelopment operating budget of+$250,000 for the RLF-TID 16 Emergency Loan Program.
