Pel str~i ng r•epor•ted <br />that these consider•ations and statements were r•eviewed yester~day at a <br />at joint meeting with his fir•m and the City Cler•k and City Planner•. <br />Dan tdilson, City Planner, reported that the City already has in place <br />a compr•ehensive statement about how and when tax increment financing <br />will be used. It was Wilson's r~ecommendation that the policy consider~ations <br />and statements developed with Mr~. Pelstring wer~e not adopted as policy, <br />but r~ather• as guidelines. Wilson felt that these consider•ations and <br />statements wer•e somewhat r•estr•ictive, and felt the Council should not <br />eliminate some of the City's options and should deal with tax increment <br />pr•oposals on an individual basis as they ar•e submitted. <br />Pelstr•ing agr~eed that his pr•oposal was ver•y specific and could be used <br />as a mar•keting tool. Pelstr•ing stated that he would submit these <br />statements to a developer•, and if the developer~'s pr•oject met the for•mula <br />outlined in the statements, the developer• could be confident that his <br />pr•oject would get City appr•oval. <br />Pel str~i ng agr•eed that the statements wer•e gear~ed towar•d the SBA 504 <br />pr~ogr•am, but did not feel the for~mat was inconsistent or• incompatible <br />with the City's tax incr•ement financing guidelines. Pelstr~ing felt the <br />statements he has submitted wer•e a good way to r~each out and tr~y to <br />develop some interest from developers. <br />Pelstr•ing stated that his policy consider•ations gave the City a good <br />method for• evaluating pr~ojects. <br />Pelstr•ing did r•ecommend, however•, that Policy Statement 11 be eliminated <br />as this ~nfor~mation was not necessar•.y in this document. <br />Page -1- <br />
