VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried G Consideration of Resolution No. 5068, Authorizing the Consideration of Establishing a Taz Increment Financing District for the Bel Rae Community/Social Services Center. Mr. Whiting explained that he has had several discussions with Jim OZVleara of Briggs and Morgan in regard to developing the Bel Rae project. It has come to their attention that there is the potential for changes in the Tax Increment Financing rules. Taking this into consideration, it was felt that perhaps the Council should consider taking some steps toward establishing a tax increment financing district for the Bel Rae facility. Mr. Whiting explained that Resolution No. 5068 would initiate the process for consideration of a new tax increment district which would be used for the development of the Bel Rae project if a commercial entity is able to be made part of the project. Ms. Hanlaier stated she does not feel it will be of benefit to make a decision such as this prior to the new year. Furthermore she feels this is a decision that should be made by the incoming council. Ms. Trade stated she feels initiating the process will help to leave the door open. Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, asked if the Council establishes a Tax Increment Financing District and includes that property into it, would the City be extending a vested interest whereby if it does not go through, the City would have liabilities. He also believes that this is something that should be decided by the incoming Council. MOTION/SECOND: LinkeJHankner to table this item for consideration by the incoming Council.
