Unofficial register compiled from the ordinances, resolutions, minutes, certifications and urban renewal reports in this archive. Every figure is as printed, with its page. Payments are the ones the archive shows (state reports from FY2021, claims lists and payables lists); a year or payment the archive does not hold is missing, so totals here are a lower bound. The City of Tiffin's records govern.
In exchange for land north of Clear Creek for the trail system, the city agreed to extend the urban renewal area to Lot 5 of Bigelow Subdivision and rebate 100% of the tax increment for two years. The 2010 Addition (Ord 2010-304) created a TIF district for this one building.
