Though most of this analysis is being done for the City's Department of
Administration and Finance, it also includes analysis of various TIF components so
the Commission is being asked to cover one-third of the $15,000 cost.
A discussion followed between the Commission and staff about the inclusion of the
net assessed valuation of the TIF districts in the report and looking at creating a heat
map comparing the market values to the assessed values and providing it to the
County Assessor's Office.
Upon a motion by Vice President Varner, seconded by Secretary Inks and
unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Professional Services Agreement
for the analysis of potential future credit breaker impacts with H.J. Umbaugh &
Associates for $5,000.
