III. 2. Amendment to TIF Note C - TIF District 1-5 (HRA2021-10)December 21, 2021 HRA Report 2021-10
AMENDMENT TO TIF NOTE C – TIF DISTRICT 1-5
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 542
Authorizing the Execution of a Tax Increment Note As Provided Therein.
With this motion, the Note will be amended to allow for an accelerated repayment
schedule.
Overview
TIF District No. 1-5 is a redevelopment district established for the development of the
Moline. Currently there are three (3) TIF Notes in TIF District 1-5 that total $13 million
(TIF Notes A, B and C). There is a priority order of payment with current TIF generated
in the District being prorated to Notes A and B first. After those Notes are paid,
payment on TIF Note C would occur.
At the December 21, 2021 City Council meeting, amending the TIF Note C to allow
payment on it prior to TIF Notes A and B being paid off as is currently stated was
discussed. The HRA intends to utilize pooling dollars from TIF District 2-11 to
accomplish this, thus allowing it to be paid off at the same time as the A and B Notes.
This will result in approximately $5 million in interest savings, all the district obligations
being paid in approximately nine years and early decertification of the TIF District
Primary Issues to Consider
This action does not commit any additional funds but rather saves interest costs by
paying off debt from another source, TIF District 2-11.
