Resolutions-2015-131

December 3, 2015 VIA EMAIL Doug Boldt City Administrator/City Hall Tiffin, IA Re: Tiffin Urban Renewal Area Amendment/Consultation Session Our File Number: 436989-15 Dear Doug: The Iowa Urban Renewal Law requires that a city provide information concerning a proposed urban renewal plan amendment to certain other governmental bodies which might be affected by the use of tax increment financing within your amended urban renewal area. Specifically, the City must send a copy of the urban renewal plan amendment and an invitation to attend a meeting to discuss the urban renewal plan amendment to any county and school district whose jurisdiction covers any property to be included within the amended urban renewal area. This consultation must be held at least two weeks before the public hearing on January 11, 2016. It is our understanding that the property within your amended urban renewal area would affect Johnson County and Clear Creek-Amana Community School District. Attached is a draft letter which you may use in order to provide notification to these governmental entities of the date, time and place of a meeting at which they may discuss your urban renewal plan amendment. The law does not require that this be a meeting of the City Council, and you may use your discretion about who represents the City at the meeting. Along with the letter, you should send a copy of the urban renewal plan amendment and a copy of the notice of the public hearing on the urban renewal plan amendment.
