______________________________________________________________________________ CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL January 5, 2024 • Item I-1 – This resolution is identical to the resolution that was approved last year for Phases I and II of the Villages Urban Revitalization Area (Hunt Club). Just as a reminder, this original tax abatement was approved in 2017, for all four phases of the Hunt Club project. With the approval of this resolution, only Phase IV remains which will more than likely be completed this year. • Just FYI, there is a possibility of having a Special City Council Meeting on Tuesday, January 30th for the purpose of the first budget review. This meeting will depend on the progress that can be made leading up to then but as we have done in the past, dedicating a meeting (and possibly more) solely for the budget has helped the formal approval processes associated with the budget which now will lead us into April. • The next scheduled Joint Entities Meeting was supposed to be on Monday, January 15th. Since that is Martin Luther King Day, Coralville (the host City) will be rescheduling the meeting. I hope you have that date prior to the meeting on Tuesday night. • McComas-Lacina has made significant progress on the sidewalk project to the soccer fields. The mainline sidewalk from the tennis courts to the north end of the parking lot has been poured and they are currently working on the area that leads to the crosswalk at the roundabout. • I’ve made contact with the third and final economic development data and strategies company that councilperson Schnedler and I met with at the ICSC conference last May. I am making arrangements for Naviretail to present at the January 23rd council meeting.
