This is an administrative amendment that does not require a public hearing. According to State statute, the City Council is also required to consider approval of a modification of the TIF Plan. BACKGROUND TIF District No. 1 -5 was created in 1992 for the purpose of assisting in the development of the Cottages of Willow Ponds senior housing. All obligations have been met for this project. State statute allows pooling of increment from housing districts for the purpose of creating affordable housing outside the district. This administrative amendment allows for the pooling of revenues already budgeted within the TIF Plan for the purpose of assisting future affordable housing within the City.
