Terms and Conditions of Tax Increment Financing Request The developers are requesting consideration of $800,000 in tax increment financing assistance for 10 —15 years at a 7.5% interest rate. Based on projections prepared by the developer, approximately $40,000 in tax increment will be available for the developers in 2011 and $80,000 in tax increment annually thereafter, resulting in excess of $800,000 over 10 - 15 years at a 7.5% interest rate. Oppidan is also willing to enter into a minimum assessment agreement for the development project. If the city council chooses to proceed on a conceptual basis, it is recommended that the city's financial and bond consultants conduct a confidential review of the company proformas to determine the appropriate level of tax increment assistance and interest rate needed. Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District A redevelopment tax increment financing district is being proposed for this site. Two tests will need to be met, including a coverage test and a determination that the buildings are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. These determinations will need to be made prior to a public hearing being held.
