SPECIAL MEETING Thursday, April 24, 2008 @ 7:00 PM Buxton Fire Hall Participating: Gene Rosholt, Mayor; Travis Hegg, Rhea Benning, Derric Knudsvig, Rick Aamold Recording: Debbie Sundeen Mayor Rosholt called the meeting to order on 04-24-08 at 7:00 p.m. Donna Smith from Camrud, Maddock, Olson, & Larson Law firm attended meeting to explain what TIF is about and how it works, if used for the new development in Buxton. TIF means Tax increment financing. It involves assessing the taxable value of the land prior to development, dete4rminig the incremental increase in value each successive year, and using the revenue from the increases to pay off the principal and interest of the financed funds. The City must first determine that the property qualifies as a development area, meaning an area the City designates as appropriate for a development or renewal project. In this case the land may qualify if the City finds that it is a “blighted area:” that its current status is retarding the sound growth of the municipality and constitutes an economic liability. The County Auditor would determine the taxable value of the property prior to development. Each year going forward, the incremental increases in land value are excluded from the mill rates from every political subdivision having authority to tax the development property. The landowner would pay taxes based upon the taxable value of the developed land, but the difference between the tax rate of the undeveloped land and the tax rate of the developed land would go into a special fund. The difference in those tow amounts would not go to the school, county, etc., as it normally would. Instead it would go into a special fund which would be used to pay the bond. Basically, this is a way to finance infrastructure without paying special assessments. Smith will send a step by step plan for the City to know the proper steps to begin the process of the plan, if City approves. Smith explained to council they will need to hold a Public Hearing for the New Development Plan and it will need to be published two weeks in a row in the City newspaper. Hegg moved to adjourn; Knudsvig seconded; passed; unanimous.
