She 584 further explained that no agreement was necessary up to that point but after the meetings were 585 held and the TIF district approved, the application was necessary. 586 587 Mr. Amundson asked if the EDA is currently reviewing the application for TIF, its public 588 purpose, job creation numbers, and sources and uses. Commissioner Thomas stated the action is 589 the creation of the TIF District by the EDA. The EDA talked about job creation numbers at the 590 last meeting. 591 592 Mr. Amundson asked if there is a deposit agreement submitted. City Administrator Ulrich 593 answered in the affirmative 594 595 Mr. Amundson asked if the application is available to the public for review. City Administrator 596 Ulrich answered in the affirmative. 597 598 Mr. Amundson asked if the application has it been available prior to this meeting. City 599 Administrator Ulrich answered in the affirmative. 600 601 Mr. Amundson asked if the public was advised it was available for review. Commission Thomas 602 stated it was part of the report. 603 604 Director Ericson explained that the City does not announce every time a document is available 605 for public viewing because all documents are available for public viewing. 606 607 Mr. Amundson asked if the application proposal worksheet is also available that provides the 608 evaluation points in determining whether a District is appropriate. City Administrator Ulrich 609 answered in the affirmative. 610 611 Mr. Amundson asked if EDA members have all received that document. Commissioner Thomas 612 stated all members have the information in the report. 613 614 City Administrator Ulrich explained the information was passed out the end of June and it went 615 through the worksheet in terms of job creation as required. 616 617 Mr. Amundson stated since there is a pending request for such development to go to the public 618 on a ballot, he is surprised the EDA is taking any action prior to the public saying whether there 619 will be a sale. He stated to him it seems premature to issue authorization for the creation of a TIF 620 District that may never see an owner. Also, he thought the TIF application had to be after the 621 applicant acquired the property. He pointed out that these questions relate to procedural issues 622 related to the EDA’s own policies. 623 624
