Boesen/Creighton-Smith to receive and file proof of publication of notice of public hearing. Voice vote -Ayes: Six. Motion carried. This being the time and place of the public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral comments. David Deeds, JSA Development, commented on the increase in future spending from these amendments. He further commented on the upcoming move of City Hall to the old Courier building on the east side of the river. He stated that the cost to remodel the interior of the building should not fall on the backs of the downtown property owners through the use of TIF funds, but should be borne by the entire city because it benefits the entire city. He asks that other funding sources be identified to pay for the remodeling and use the 4.5 million dollars of TIF dollars for downtown projects that increase the taxable value. David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned if the TIF areas will continue to be increased with each amendment. Boesen/Creighton-Smith to close hearing and receive and file oral comments.

Roll Call vote - Ayes: Six. Motion carried. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2024- 691. Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, explained that everything that is listed in the Urban Renewal Plans are options that we have in moving forward and every project and expenditure would need to come back through council approval. Concerning the City Hall swap of buildings, the council could, during the budget process, choose to repay those bonds with the debt service levy instead of the downtown TIF. By including it in the Urban Renewal Plan we leave ourselves open with options as to which way we want to move ahead with that as we get closer to the budget. He further explained that everything in the Urban Renewal Plans for projects that we raise the expenditures on is because we anticipate needing to acquire, demolish or do some road construction, so we increase those amounts as potential projects. He shared that there is no action to expand the area of the TIF districts in tonight's actions. Mr. Boesen commented that the reuse of City Hall and the Annex Building will also benefit the downtown area as far as attracting another usage for these buildings. Noel Anderson confirmed.
