Comment: Adopting a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) ordinance is the final step to
enabling the use of TIF in an urban renewal area. Upon adopting Amendment #14
to the City -University Project 1 Urban Renewal Area, and increasing the size of the
City -University Urban Renewal Area, the City must also adopt a TIF ordinance for
the amended area. The TIF ordinance allows for the opportunity of new taxes
derived from the development of taxable property in the Urban Renewal Project
Area to be divided and used for loans, rebates, grants, advances, indebtedness, or
bonds payable for projects approved by City Council.
