Councilman Moss indicated many of Mr. Ashmann's questions regarding an update on the water
treatment plant were answered at the Strategic Session which the video will be available on the City's
website. Public Works Director Kress indicated he and the Finance Director recently prepared

incentives and City Manager Bair confirmed. It was also discussed that they will be located in the
Northeast Business District. She also clarified that the Walmart in Collinsville Crossings did not
receive incentives either. She indicated it was slated to be in a TIF district but a business district was
established instead which explains the 1% tax. She spoke of Kohl's being in a business district. She
