TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

RE: Approve Dissolving Tax Incremental District No. 11 Oshkosh Office Center
BACKGROUND
On January 10, 1995, Council approved a creation resolution for a project plan and
boundaries for Tax Incremental Financing District (TID) No. 11 Oshkosh Office Center
located at Washington Avenue and Court Street. TID No. 11 was used to pay for the
acquisition and demolition of a blighted building and construction of a parking lot to serve
TID 11. On February 25, 2020 TID No. 11 was extended for 12 months in order to utilize the
final year’s increment of about $10,000 to add to the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative to
improve housing stock of the community.
ANALYSIS
State Statutes require that a TID be terminated after enough increment has been generated to
pay all remaining project costs or after the TID has been extended to fund a housing program
as was previously done with this TID. TID No. 11 has now reached its statutory termination
of 28 years and must be dissolved. The TID increment is currently valued at approximately
$400,000 which will be added to the general property tax roll upon closure.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cash balance for TID 11 is about $70,000. After the final audit is complete, the City will
retain about 30% of the funds for the Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund as
indicated in the City’s TID closing policy. The other 70% of funds will be forwarded to the
other taxing jurisdictions: the Oshkosh Area School District, Winnebago County and Fox
Valley Technical College, in proportion to their contribution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the above noted resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved,
