WHEREAS, Chapter 15A requires that in determining whether funds should be spent, a
City Council must consider any or all of a series of factors;
NOW, THEREFORE, It Is Resolved by the City Council of the City of Tiffin, Iowa, as
follows:
Section 1. Pursuant to the factors listed in Chapter 15A, the Council hereby reaffirms
that:
(a) The Project will add diversity and generate new opportunities for the
Tiffin and Iowa economies;
(b) The Project will generate public gains and benefits, particularly in the
creation of new jobs and income, which are warranted in comparison to the amount of the
proposed property tax incentives.
Section 2. The City Council further finds and reaffirms that a public purpose will
reasonably be accomplished by entering into the Third Amended Agreement and providing the
incremental property tax payments to the Recipient.
Section 3. The Third Amended Agreement is hereby approved, and the Mayor and
City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Third Amended
Agreement on behalf of the City in substantially the form and content in which the Second
Amended Agreement has been presented to this City Council. The Mayor and the City
Administrator are authorized to make such changes, modifications, additions or deletions as they,
with the advice of bond counsel, may believe to be necessary, and to take such actions as may be
necessary to carry out the provisions of the Third Amended Agreement.
Section 4. All payments by the City under the Third Amended Agreement shall be
subject to annual appropriation by the City Council, in the manner set out in the Third Amended
Agreement. As provided and required by Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, the City’s obligations
under the Third Amended Agreement shall be payable solely from a subfund (the “DERS
Development Subfund”) previously created by prior resolution of the City Council, into which
shall be paid that portion of the income and proceeds of the Urban Renewal Tax Revenue Fund
attributable to property taxes derived from the Property, as more particularly described in Exhibit
A attached hereto, which description has been updated as set forth therein.
Section 5. The City hereby pledges to the payment of the Third Amended Agreement
the DERS Development Subfund and the taxes referred to in Subsection 2 of Section 403.19 of
the Code of Iowa to be paid into such Subfund, provided, however, that no payment will be made
under the Third Amended Agreement unless and until monies from the DERS Development
Subfund are appropriated for such purpose by the City Council.
Section 6. After its adoption, a copy of this resolution shall be filed in the office of
the County Auditor of Johnson County to evidence the continuing pledging of the DERS
Development Subfund and the portion of taxes to be paid into such Subfund and, pursuant to the
direction of Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa, the County Auditor shall allocate the taxes in
