These taxes would be released to the other taxing jurisdictions which would collect them if the TIF were not in place. This TIF was originally established to facilitate the demolition and reuse of the former Scottsdale Mall site. All of the improvements planned for this TIF have been completed. The only remaining obligation of the TIF is the pledge of TIF to repayment of an EDC bond. We currently have cash on hand of $5,364,446 and annual bond payments of about $500,000. At the end of the year we expect to receive additional tax receipts of about $1,285,000. If this amount is received, then we will have sufficient funds to defease the bonds. Attached is a schedule showing the cash balance, bond payments and year end tax receipts. The first opportunity to pay off the bonds is not until February 2017, so the amount to defease the bonds will need to include the interest payments through that date, again these are shown on the attached schedule. If the tax receipts at the end of the year are not sufficient to defease the bonds, then the Redevelopment Commission will likely need to collect at least part of the increment for taxes payable in 2013. Once the bonds are defeased, then the Commission can consider whether the Erskine Village TIF should be undeclared and the increment released back to the main South Side Development Area, or released in perpetuity to the other taxing jurisdictions as was the Erskine Commons TIF.

The Commission hereby determines that for tax year payable 2012, all of the assessed value in the Allocation Area is excess assessed value and may be allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in Section 39 of the Act because the Commission hereby finds that the sum of the balances in the Allocation Fund, when combined with future investment earnings on such balances will be sufficient to satisfy the obligations of the Commission over the year 2012, and that therefore the Potential Captured Assessment for the Allocation Area in tax year payable 2012 shall not be treated as Captured Assessment (as defined in the Regulations). In making this determination, the Commission has considered the effect that such determination will have on the property tax rate in the Redevelopment District. 2. This determination for 2012 shall not be construed to affect any future determination of the Commission with respect to the capture of Potential Captured Assessment in the years following 2012. 3. The President or Vice President of the Commission is hereby authorized and directed to immediately notify or cause to be notified the St. Joseph County Auditor, the Common Council and the officers who are authorized to fix budgets, tax rates, and tax levies under Indiana Code 6- 1.1 -17 -5 for each of the other taxing units wholly or partly located within the Allocation Area of the determinations made herein by the Commission, through the use of a letter in such form as may be recommended by legal counsel, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution of said letter.
