ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch, commented that he read an article in the Courier that the city is going to
loan money to the Crossroads TIF, and he does not understand why funds would be moved and
requested an explanation.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, explained that the Crossroads TIF is a new urban
renewal area in the city and property values are not being maintained at a steady level in the TIF.
Because other parts of the TIF are in decline it is difficult to maintain incentives offered through
development agreements. The general fund is to temporarily advance as the businesses are holding
up their end of the deal.
Mrs. Klein encouraged everyone in the community to fill out the air service survey on the Grow
Cedar Valley website.
