This item was pulled prior to the meeting. AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Consideration of the Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan Revisions. City Planner Kee explained that the reasons for bringing this item back to the Commission were because there were some questions brought up by Mr. Paul Clarke regarding the outstanding balances in the TIF fund, to answer questions regarding the revisions and the TIF, and to bring the Commission up to date on the other meetings held on this issue. There was a TIF Board meeting held Friday April 17 (day after the Commission Meeting), and a public meeting held May 6 in which property owners in the area were invited. Staff would also like the Commission to make a motion relative to the overall master plan to carry forward to the Council on May 28, 1998 (tentative). Ms. Kee introduced Budget Director Charles Cryan. Mr. Cryan explained the differences between the numbers presented to the Commission at the April 16 meeting and the actual occurrences. He stated that there are timing differences between when the increment funds are actually available. The City requests and actually receives the increment a full year after the value is assessed. This means the value assessed as of January 1, 1997 will not actually be billable or receivable by the City until March 1998. Mr. Cryan explained that participation was not requested from the school or county for the first two years. Mr. Cryan stated that the percent tax rate that Mr. Clarke presented to the Commission was substantially higher than the actual rate. The school district chose to utilize only its "local assignment rate" which is 86 cents per $100 valuation as opposed to its total rate of $1.74. The local assignment rate becomes available an additional year later than the other increment revenues.
