Dolores Webb seconded the motion. Motion to approve carried 7 -0. 3. DISCUSS AND APPROVE TIF NO. 1 AND TIF NO. 1A 2013 ANNUAL REPORTS Larry Koonce, Director of Finance, provided an overview of the TIF No. 1 and TIF No. 1A Annual Report. The original public improvement for the TIF was in the amount of $1.3 million in pubic drainage improvements. Total value of $3 to $4 million in improvements was originally anticipated on the property. Through 2012 there have been $13 million in improvements with minimal debt service on the $850,000 in Certificates of Obligation sold. In 2014 a decline of about $4.7 million was seen because of the closure of ATI. The TIF currently has $8 million in incremental value. Since 2010 $3 million in Certificates of Obligation have been issued toward the expansion projects. It is anticipated at this time unless there are increases in values along the expansion corridor or the business center there will be a shortfall in revenues of approximately $280,000 in the TIF. This will be the City's obligation to pay in 2018 at the time the TIF will legally expire. Councilman Turnage moved to approve TIF No. 1 and TIF No. 1A 2012 Annual Report. Councilman Whitson seconded the motion. Motion to approve carried 7 -0. 4. Update on TIF No. 1 Expansion Projects Director of Planning & Development, John Pitstick updated the Board on the projects. Although the expanded TIF was started as the economy began going down, the original projects are moving forward. Mr. Pitstick informed the Board of the $3 million in available funding approximately $500,000 is available for the Boulevard 26 and Glenview intersection. TXDOT has approximately 95 percent of the construction plans completed and it is anticipated the formal bid process and construction should be started in the next quarter of 2014 and completed in early 2015. The remaining $2.5 million in funding is for the design phase, construction of burying of utilities between Glenview and Rufe Snow on Boulevard 26 and replacement of light poles. The City is still working with land right of way acquisition and with businesses in relocating utilities connected in the front to relocate the utilities to connect in the back. The bid process should be started in third quarter 2014 with the completion in third quarter 2015. Item for informational purposes only. 5s ADJOURNMENT Mayor Trevino adjourned the meeting at 6:12 p.m.
