Dick King spoke to the Mayor and Board regarding the TIF plan. He said that as he figures it, the public hearing would be on November 6, 1995. The first step is to appoint the TIF Commission. Mr. Dick King made the following recommendations: C1) The infra structures would be built. Presently it would take eight years to pay off the eleven million dollar bond. C2) Ouindaro Levee project of 39 million dollars. The City's share of this would be 23.4 million dollars and would take twenty years to pay off bonds. C3) Thies would be Riverside's part of the levee, east of Line Creek. The coat would be 12.9 million dollars, including federal and local participation. The local coat would be seven million. Thies would take fifteen years to pay. The question was asked why not build the levee first and then the infrastructure. The answer was without the infrastructure, there would be no way of getting on and off of Interstate Highway 635 and that there would be some possibility of filling and building sites without the levee. City Attorney Don Witt said that the key is the redevelopment plan. Mayor Burch said that she does not want to rush this matter and wants everyone to understand everything about this program. She said she recommends the following to be on the TIF Committee: Ron Super, 4 years; Cheri Connley, 3 years; Jim Wedua, 4 years; Jimmy Karr, 3 years; Ed Young, 2 years and Betty Burch, 2 years.

He will try to get an estimate of what it will coat. Mr. Witt also said this will be similar to working on the agreement with Argosy and the developer will pay the fees.
