Those revenues will not be used for other functions or purposes, such as a <br />school. <br />Planning Manager Miller explained it is on vacant property that you see the increment. The <br />county and school districts will get revenue from the base value on the vacant property and the <br />improvement on the property goes into the TIF. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated the decision is not whether you like TIF or not, but is this in keeping <br />with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated that Springsted is doing some of the financial analysis and did a <br />presentation at a work session if you would like more background information. <br />Planning Manager Miller stated the TIF district expires in 25 -26 years. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Brauer, Van Scoy, Dunaway, <br />and Rogers. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />Planning Commission/December 2, 2010 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
