l and Redevelopment Plan Urban Renewal Area, as
Logan Avenue Urban Renewa
December 1, 2015, be received and placed on

file. Voice vote-Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections.
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.
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

Cole) Motion failed.

Mayor Clark explained a party is very interested the Logan Ave. area and this is
needed to move forward with the proposed project.
Mr. Morrissey spoke in opposition to tabling.
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.
