1 Discussion:
3 Commissioner Sparks stated she did not think it had been made clear that this was a public
4 hearing scheduled for September 23, 2003, regarding the TIF Plan for the Northwest Quadrant
5 and Apache Plaza. She added this was a big step, as it was the first step in the redevelopment of
6 Apache Plaza.

8 Commissioner Thuesen noted it might seem Council was being nonchalant regarding this issue.
9 He indicated there had been countless work sessions and meetings over the last two years before
10 this step was reached.
11
12 Commissioner Horst asked if this was the second public hearing. City Attorney Gilligan
13 responded this resolution was requesting the City Council hold a hearing for the proposed plan,
14 as the TIF plan was an H.R.A. plan. He noted State law required Council approve a TIF plan.
15
16 Commissioner Horst noted that the public hearing was an opportunity for those interested in
17 addressing the TIF plan. He also asked if this issue would come before the Planning
18 Commission. Mr. Gilligan replied the Planning Commission was required to give a
19 recommendation to the Council by State law.
46 Executive Director Morrison explained there would be two public hearings: The Planning
22 Commission hearing regarding development would be held September 16, 2003. The public
23 hearing before the City Council was scheduled for September 23, 2003. He suggested those who
24 wished to comment on TIF come before the Council and those who wished to comment on the
25 PUD come before the Planning Commission. He added press releases would be issued.
26
27 Commissioner Thuesen explained that "TIF" referred to Tax Increment Financing, which were
28 dollars contributed by the City toward redevelopment. Mr. Gilligan added "TIF" was
29 incremental tax revenue generated by development that would be used to reimburse or pay for
30 public redevelopment costs associated with that redevelopment.
