Chandler TIF District Update. 31 32 Ms. Kvilvang presented an update on the Chandler TIF District as outlined in the June 22, 2010 33 memorandum. Ms. Kvilvang reviewed background information on the City Council approval to 34 decertify the TIF District one-year early in December of 2010. She advised that due to levy 35 limits imposed by the Legislature for 2009-2011, staff is recommending not to decertify the 36 District early. It is estimated that the City will receive approximately $200,000 in TI in 2011. 37 Based upon preliminary direction given to staff to keep the General Fund Property'Fax Levy at 38 the same level as 2010, the City would need to transfer approximately $69,000 from the 39 Chandler TIF District to the Bond Fund for payment on the road improvement bonds. This 40 transfer would decrease the overall road levy by the same amount. This would not only allow 41 the Council to maintain its goal of no tax increase/impact from the Emerald Park financing, but 42 would also allow Council flexibility to either lessen the tax impact to residents or provide dollars 43 for capital or service needs. In addition, in 2011 the City will have the remaining $130,000 in 44 the District to utilize for future road projects and/or housing and redevelopment projects. 45 5
