Mr.Long <br /> stated,as he understands it,the city only has a contract with the Engineering/Design firm and that the city pays <br /> them for the work. He could not comment on the nature of the federal grant. He noted,however that there are <br /> two pieces of legislation now that are pending,which would dramatically affect the use of excess tax increment <br /> therefore,if the city is considering the use of tax increment financing on this project,they should do so as it may <br /> possibly not be available within the next several months. <br /> VOTE on Motion to stop all further action on the Pedestrian Bridge over Highway 10,settle all accounts owed <br /> to date and abandon the bridge project and notify the appropriate government agencies. <br /> Mayor McCarty: aye <br /> Council member Stigney aye <br /> Council member Koopmeiners aye <br /> Council member Trude nay <br /> Council member Quick nay <br /> Motion Carried(3-2) <br /> 110 B. Status of TIF Plan for Bel Rae. <br /> Mr.Kessel explained that the city proposed having its public hearing on the proposed tax increment financing <br /> plan for the Bel Rae project on March 24, 1997. However,final TIF plans could not be prepared due to lack of <br /> information,and therefore,they were not presented to the County and School District 30 days in advance of the <br /> proposed Public Hearing.
