Funding for this work has been included in prior CIPs. It has been determined that it is necessary to perform grading on city land which will become the new lots in the Southwest Industrial Park. The grading is a necessary component to make lots ready for immediate development. The grading component is not eligible for tax exempt borrowing as it will be completed on property to be sold for commercial development. Additional funding is needed in order to complete the grading on this project. ANALYSIS The following 2014 Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) Projects: Boat Works Riverwalk and Bridge Construction (TIF#20—$600,000), Marion Road Redevelopment Area Remediation (TIF#21 —$650,000), were anticipated to be funded by TIF bonding or State Trust Fund Loan in the amount of$1,250,000. In order to complete the necessary grading project, the City proposes to utilize the State Trust Fund Loan proceeds and to fund the TIF projects with TIF#7 (Southwest Industrial Park#2) cash. FISCAL IMPACT The impact of this action will be that the above mentioned projects in TIF districts 20 & 21 will now be funded by a donation from TIF#7. This option was anticipated when Council previously approved using TIF#7 as a donor TIF. The State Trust fund loan will now be repaid from proceeds of lands sales in the Southwest Industrial Park. RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend amending the 2014 CIP to apply State Trust Fund Loan proceeds to the Southwest Industrial Park project for the grading and to apply TIF#7 cash for the 2014 Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) Projects.
