Heiar, Economic Development Director THE CTTY OF ~,,, Dubuque AA-Am~aCiy DUB E Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: David J. Heiar, Economic Development Director i SUBJECT: Tax Increment Ordinance for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District DATE: September 5, 2008 Introduction This memorandum transmits for City Council review and adoption an ordinance amending the tax increment financing district for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District. The proposed ordinance was reviewed by the City's bond counsel and is attached to this memo. Background On September 2, 2008 the City Council approved an amended and restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District which added the South Port subarea to the Urban Renewal District. The tax increment ordinance also needs to be updated to allow for TIF collection on these properties. Discussion Adoption of the proposed tax increment ordinance is needed to establish the use of tax increment financing to existing and expanded areas of the district. The ordinance authorizes the City to establish a special fund for the collection of a portion of the property tax revenues generated by new development occurring within the nine subareas of the district. All taxable property located with the tax increment district will continue to pay property taxes based upon the current tax levies and assessment valuations. Tax revenues collected in excess of the base amounts will be used to assist in financing future development projects within the district, including both public and private development. Adoption of the ordinance will continue the base valuations for the Original Project Areas (all eight subareas). The new areas in the South Port will be assigned a base valuation date. Recommendation I recommend that the City Council approve the tax increment ordinance for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District. Tax increment financing is an important tool for economic development and will be used to assist future public and private development efforts in the downtown, warehouse, and riverfront areas, including the South Port. Action Step The action step is for the City Council to approve the amended tax increment ordinance attached hereto. attachment F:\USERS\Adejong\Urban Renewal\Greater Downtown UR District\2008.1 Amendment\TIF ordinance\20080915 GD TIF ord memo.doc ORDINANCE NO. 60-08 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NOS. 63-07, 20-07, 35-04, 30-82 AND 66-89, AS PREVIOUSLY AMENDED, PROVIDING THAT GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES LEVIED AND COLLECTED EACH YEAR ON ALL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE GREATER DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, COUNTY OF DUBUQUE, STATE OF IOWA, BY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE STATE OF IOWA, CITY OF DUBUQUE, COUNTY OF DUBUQUE, DUBUQUE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND OTHER TAXING DISTRICTS, BE PAID TO A SPECIAL FUND FOR PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON LOANS, MONIES ADVANCED TO AND INDEBTEDNESS, INCLUDING BONDS ISSUED OR TO BE ISSUED, INCURRED BY SAID CITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN FOR THE GREATER DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa (the "City") has heretofore, in Ordinance No. 30-82, provided for the division of taxes within the original Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal Project, Iowa R-15, described in Resolution No. 123-67 adopted on May 18, 1967, pursuant to Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa; and WHEREAS, the original Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal Project, Iowa R-15, subsequently was amended by Resolution No. 79-71 approved on March 15, 1971, by Resolution No. 73-74 approved on March 11, 1974, by Resolution No. 107-82 approved on May 3, 1982, by Resolution No. 191-84 approved on June 25, 1984, by Resolution No. 371-93 approved on December 6, 1993, by Resolution No. 145-94 approved on May 2, 1994, by Resolution No. 479-97 approved on November 17, 1997, by Resolution No. 476-98 approved on October 19, 1998 and by Resolution No. 187-02 approved on April 1, 2002, which amendments, among other things, added areas referred to as the Old Main Subarea, Town Clock Expansion Subarea and Upper Main Subarea to the area of the Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District; and WHEREAS, consistent with the foregoing amendments, Ordinance No. 30-82 subsequently was amended by Ordinance Nos. 23-94, 36-94, 67-97, and 26-02 to provide for the division of taxes within the several subareas of the amended Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District; and -1- WHEREAS, the City Council of the City has heretofore, in Ordinance No. 66-89, provided for the division of taxes within the original Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District, described in Resolution No. 403-89 adopted on December 18, 1989, pursuant to Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa; and WHEREAS, the original Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District subsequently was amended by Resolution No. 241-00 approved on June 5, 2000 and by Resolution 114- 02 approved on March 4, 2002, which amendments, among other things, added an additional area referred to as Subarea B to the area of the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District; and WHEREAS, consistent with the foregoing amendment, Ordinance No. 66-89 subsequently was amended by Ordinance No. 97-00 to provide for the division of taxes within the two subareas of the amended Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District; and WHEREAS, the original Downtown Dubuque Urban Renewal District and the original Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District and their respective Subareas have been combined into a single urban renewal area, under the terms of an Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater.
