The Council also was informed that the Proposed Plan had been approved.by the Planning and Zoning Commission as being in conformity with the general plan for development of the City as a whole, as set forth in the minutes or report of the Commission previously placed on file for consideration by the Council.

Voice vote-Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral obj ections. David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, complimented Noel Anderson for the idea of combining the districts. He questioned the two additional areas that are being added. Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, explained that one of the areas is owned by Menards and is intended to be sold. The area to the north is owned by Dr. Sundrum and he has plans to expand his practice. The action is to merge the TIF's not to purchase. The budget is proposed so they could potentially be purchased but the budget could be used to purchase other property. Mr. Schmitt asked for clarification. - 2 - Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, explained that the merging of the two TIF districts gives additional flexibility for projects. This has been done in other cities. It allows the City to use TIF cash instead of bonds for projects. There is no expiration for slum and blight TIF's. The Midpoint TIF qualifies as a blight TIF due to some old industrial buildings in the area and older buildings on Broadway. Mr. Jones mentioned he received a call from a resident who is concerned,about the lack of an expiration date on slum and blight TIF Districts. 145342 - Lind/Schmitt to table this item until after the first of the year until new Council is seated.

Mr. Jones questioned if the Midpoint TIF would come to an end in a foreseeable future. , Noel Anderson explained that lots are being developed but there are still a lot of opportunities along the Broadway corridor. He explained that it would provide more opportunity to both TIF districts. 145343 - Schmitt/Welper that the hearing be closed. Voice vote-Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. - 3 - Council Member Schmitt then introduced the following Resolution entitled "RESOLUTION DETERMINING AN AREA OF THE CITY TO BE A BLIGHTED AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA, AND THAT THE REHABILITATION, CONSERVATION, REDEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT; OR A COMBINATION THEREOF, OF SUCH AREA IS NECESSARY IN THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY; DESIGNATING SUCH AREA AS APPROPRIATE FOR URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS; AND ADOPTING AN AMENDED AND RESTATED EAST WATERLOO UNIFIED URBAN RENEWAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SUCH AREA" and moved that the same be adopted.
