COUNCIL MINUTES DRAFT 3 Randy Rennaker, 379 Carl Street, recommended that the council actually review the Environmental 79 Board meeting recording. He suggests that it was a difficult decision for that group. He is 80 concerned as a resident: that there are chemicals that have been used on the land for years and for the 81 Carl Street connection (please keep the neighborhood the way it is). 82 Carol Featherstone, 631 Andall Street, mentioned that the council wants good communities in the 83 City. The people who moved to the Carl Street area moved there for its rural nature. She feels the 84 council supports the developers more than the residents. She thinks an environmental review is 85 necessary. Listen to the people please. 86 Councilmember Lyden said he knows there is great concern about Carl Street. In his mind, there 87 isn’t a right to destroy one neighborhood to develop another. 88 Councilmember Stoesz moved to approve Resolution No. 22-125 as presented. Councilmember 89 Ruhland seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 90 6B) Public Hearing, Consider Resolution No. 22-126, Approving Tax Increment Financing 91 Plan for District 1-14– Community Development Director Grochala reviewed his written staff report 92 that included information on a proposed tax increment district for a development proposed by Ryan 93 and Companies (area indicated on a map and in staff report). He reviewed elements of the proposal 94 and benefits that it would bring. The City has evaluated the request of the developer for tax 95 increment assistance with the help of financial advisor Baker Tilly. A recommendation comes 96 forward for total assistance of $3.4 million. It was noted that the both the county and the school 97 district will have the opportunity to comment. 98 Scott Featherstone, 631Andall Street, asked about the City’s liability if the project isn’t finished. He 99 also noted that he sees few benefits that the facility would bring, including the number of jobs for the 100 community. Mayor Rafferty asked staff for an estimation of job creation and staff responded that is 101 not known at this point but some data related to the size of the facility is upwards of 250 jobs; more 102 data will become evident as the development moves on. 103 Community Development Director Grochala noted the pay-as-you-go nature of the tax increment, 104 meaning the City will not reimburse the developer unless they meet certain requirements. 105 Councilmember Lyden remarked that he’s all about creating good areas; will there be some outside 106 employee facilities included. 107 Councilmember Lyden moved to approve Resolution No. 22-126 as presented.
