Discussion Regarding Requ_ est Fr~ Airport Co~mission Reg_arding F~asibility_ Of Utilizing Tax Incre~_nt Financing For _t~_radiitg_ G0~missioner Hardin stated that Ms. Waelti has said that it is feasible to use tax increment to develop the airport but the City would have to bond for the dollars up front, which would be true for any tax increment project; development must take place in that area in a relatively short amount of time in order for the City to recoup it's dollars. Mr. Ippel stated that the intent of the Airport Oc~mission, in their reccm~tion that a tax increment project area be established consisting of the industrial park and land that would be acquired for airport develo~ent, was to insure that tax increment dollars frc~ that area would be available for airport develoim~.nt should the airport become a municipal facility. ~ose tax increment dollars would not be restricted to airport develoi~ent and could be used for sewer and water, for instance, if the airport did not becx~e a reality.
