- Move to approve.
- Second.
- Perfect, I have a motion and a second there. Any questions on the minutes or changes? If not, all in favor,
please by responding by saying aye.
- Aye [Group].
- Any opposed?
- Perfect. Thank you very much. I'll pop into regular business item E1, consideration to possible action and
adopt an application amendment resolution to amend the project plan for TID 7 Ashland Avenue and
Lombardi Avenue Corridors is to make an allocation to TID 23 Legends District for purposes of blight
elimination and infrastructure costs. Want to go ahead and just kind of, this is essentially, these are the same
resolutions that were presented last time. The project plans have been included in your packet with the
appropriate resolutions attached. I did want to make a note per, I think, Mr. Klingsporn's request. At the first
meeting, we did clarify specified the project description down to specifically the pedestrian and street scape
improvements identified in the approved plan document. So I wanted to make sure, Brad, to see if that was
acceptable to what you were looking for to kind of dial that in.
- Perfect. Excellent. Great, there. Does anybody have any questions on that? We did have a, Brad had some
questions and comments. We did refine the financial tables that were kind of included in your packet. I can
bring those up real quick. We'd like to kind of show those to make sure we've got what we need here. Let me
see if I got the right - Share my screen here if I can. Let's do this one. Let me see if I can actually get the
PowerPoint over for everybody. Can you guys see a PowerPoint on your screen? Might take a couple seconds
maybe to come through.
- Not yet.
- Okay. We'll see if I've got the right one. Looks like it should be coming up here, but if it doesn't, let me try a
different section here. I'm going to move it, I'm going to move screens here.
- Yes, that was. Oops.
- Okay, so you got my screen. Okay. But that's good. I can get it to go here. Okay. There we go.
- Yes.
- Perfect. I will hop on here. So I will just go through these real quick, so we can have any, see if we have any
questions on these. That's not the worst, I want here. Well, hopefully we can get it, everybody can just read
through these. Here we go. So I'm just going to, these are all pretty much all the same slides that were
presented last time. I did want to highlight the changes. This was a specifically the description I just asked Brad
about in terms of if it were response to his question last time. So I wanted to make sure everyone was aware
of that. That is the same language that has been included into the resolution specifically to be tied into those
specific costs. There's also, there's the map of the district. So here we go. We did amend, we went back right
after we kind of reviewed the questions on this specifically wanted to address this question to make sure it
kind of the numbers balanced out a little here. We went back to our $850,000 because that was what was the
number that was in the resolution, essentially, so we just wanted to make sure that it's an up to that number. If
for some reason it comes in at a lower figure, certainly the amendment would come in less than that. So we
just wanted to make sure, but again is, you know, leave it to an accounting guy to make sure that our math is
working, which we appreciate. Thank you, Brad [Laughter] So we did kind of add that to just update that. So
again the allocation amendment is specifically the $850,000. We also do want to note that we updated the
specific affordable housing number, right, Diana, that's the actual number of the affordable housing number, so
we did not have that number at the first meeting, so that has been incorporated into the summary here. So
just if anybody has any questions on that. So otherwise it is the same structure and setup as last time, it's just
that we've refined those two specific numbers on that. We mentioned some of the other, going to hop down,
these are the other resolutions that really don't require action from this group, but the council did approve all
those. We'll talk about those later on in the agenda just as a recap, if there's any questions on those. But TID
23 was the other one, with the chairs okay, just kind of present both of these simultaneously since they are
directly related to each other. Again, same as similar language that was included as previously referenced both
here and in the project plan and in the specific resolution. And then again, identify them, the TID 23 balance
again, essentially, to represent exactly, kind of, what we think the allocation. And again, transferred back to the
$850,000. So a lot of these numbers are estimates. So there's a little bit off, there's some rounding. That's why
it's not an absolute zero balance presented here. But so in some of these are still projected in estimated
numbers, but the object obviously is to get it as close to zero as we can. So those are just, kind of, the
allocations. Again, this is just an update on, this was a new slide from last time too. This is kind of an estimate,
of what we think the closures we'll be bringing back to each of the jurisdictions. So just as a reference, TID 7,
is about $780,000 taxes that were received. TID 8 is $381,000, and TID 9 was $185,000. So that was, you
know, so if anybody's interested in reporting back what the actual impacts of these districts closing on an
annual basis would be, this is just kind of provide that information. So again, the kind of the justification and the
reason why we all do this, right? So eventually to get these numbers back in, and start increasing the tax
revenue back to everyone here. And then just to recap, very quickly, these were the meetings that were
essentially that were all held and notice and where everything was essentially was adopted. So, all right, with
that, I'll try to get back to our agenda. So the project plan documents are included for TID 7, specifically, is in
your packet. Again, pretty much it's actually the exact same document as you had previously, except for the
addition of the proper resolutions in the attorney's opinion. The very last page of that plan document is the
actual joint review board resolution that we would be requesting your approval of at this meeting here today.
And with that, I would ask if there are any questions. If not, I would ask if there could be a motion approving
the joint review board resolution approving the allocation amendment for TID 7 to TID 23.
- Motion to approve.
- Second.
- A motion and a second. Are there any other questions on the TID 7 project plan? If not, all in favor, please
say aye.
- Aye [Group].
- Any opposed? Thank you, and that motion passes. Thank you very much. Similarly, with TID 23 also included
in your packet, essentially the same situation, the plan has been included as well as the resolutions and the
attorney's opinion on process. Are there any questions on the proposed allocation amendment for TID 23?
This is essentially just being the recipient donor from TID 7, just to clarify.
- Motion to approve.
- Second.
- Motion and a second. Are there any other questions on the amendment for TID 23? If not, all in favor, please
respond by saying aye.
- Aye [Group].
- Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you very much, much appreciated. We hop back to our agenda here,
get back to the top of the page here. Thank you. So just informational, these other remaining agendas, those
were all previous actions that were essentially the affordable housing allocations for TID 7 and for TID 8 were
included, closures, essentially, closing termination resolutions then for TID 7 and TID 8 were both included
and then they now so a termination resolution for TID 9. So all of those were reviewed by the redevelopment
authority and approved by the City Council, do not require specific action by this board but wanted to make
sure you were aware of these. Were posted last time for information purposes and wanted to see if there
were any questions on any of these items. All right, if not, next meeting and time, I'm guessing probably is
going to be our annual meeting. I don't know if, Diana, is that usually in June maybe we do those? Is there a set
time we do those?
- Sometimes middle to late June because if I see statute, the goal is to have them done by July 1st is when the
DOR annual report is due.
- Perfect, so we'll obviously be searching. We'll set up a time specifically with, obviously, the joint review board
members for a poll to make sure that there's a time that's convenient and works for everyone if that's
acceptable to the board.
- Perfect, thank you very much. And I think unless there are any other questions, I think that concludes the
business we had on the agenda today. If there was no other questions, we'd ask for a motion for adjournment.
- Move to adjourn.
- Second.
- Motion and a second, all in favor of adjournment, please respond by saying aye.
- Aye [Group].
- Motion carries. Thank you very much, everybody, appreciate your time.
- Thanks guys.
- Thank you.

- Okay, Any other amendments for the minutes? Could I please have a motion to approve the
minutes, please?
- Motion to approve.
- Motion by Brad.
- Second.
- Seconded by Bob. All in favor, please say, aye.
- Aye.
- Aye. All right, all opposed All right, thank you very much. Uh, we will go on to regular business, I
guess now this will be just as good as time as any for me, for, for Brent, for Bob and Brad Brad a little
bit. We read at least have talked to at least introduced a couple of times. My name is Neil
Stechschulte. I'm the new development director here for the city. So nothing like hopping on mic. I'm
speeding right now. Wait a second here. Here we go. Hello, Peter.
- Sorry.
- Okay. We were having some zoom issues on our end, too. Not a problem. So thank you for joining
us. We just got started. I was just introducing myself. I'm Neil Stechschulte the new development
director here. I took Kevin's Kevin Vonck's place. So nothing like jumping into, amending some TIF
districts on, on week six of the jobs here. So, so how can we, hopefully we've got these all in. Then
they said several of these things should look pretty familiar. We have approved the agenda and the
minutes we just just now getting ready to start talking about regular business. So you've got perfect
timing. So
- Yep.
- Perfect. So I guess just what we wanted to do is maybe just kind of quickly go through whether
there's two actionable items that we're going to be discussing under regular business as essentially
the allocation amendment from 27 to two 23, and then essentially making 23 the recipient of that
exact same allocation amendment. We other items essentially don't require joint review board
action, but we've included them under information under the next item. So we'll certainly we'll walk
through those to see if anyone has any questions on those items. Is that acceptable? Does anybody
have any questions before we get started and go through those? Okay. Excellent. When you attempt
to share my screen here, See we'll get that up to here. Let's see. How's this going to work? I need to
move you guys off of my key screen here. This lesson learned from last time. There we go. Okay.
Give that a second here. All right. Hopefully that shows up for, everybody's see, try that. Okay. All
right. Not exactly the view I wanted on the screen And hopefully everybody can read that. Can
anybody read the slides? Okay. On those? Okay. We'll just kind of briefly go through these. These are
the, essentially the four districts we had action proposed for essentially for these amendments that
we are looking at a tid seven is actually three different items in allocation amendment. The housing
extension, and then termination. Did eight is the affordable housing extension. And then just the
termination of that district did nine is simply a termination. And then 10 23 is a allocation amendment
specifically. So those are the four districts. Those are the actions we are asking for your
consideration. On, at this organizational meeting, TID seven is specifically the, the allocation
amendment is essentially adoption of the resolution and actually amending the budget plan document.
Those are both attached in your packet for your information on those. Essentially the purpose of the
the district here is actually folks kind of get the idea of call where that is. This is essentially Ashland
Avenue, a and Lombardi Avenue. The specifics behind this particular allocation amendment. This was
essentially for infrastructure improvements related to a project that was going to be funded in tid
seven. This really related to a hospitality project a hotel project, we call the legacy project was going
to be occurring. Really. I think it was actually going to start late 2021. It, to get started. Pandemic has
obviously slowed down their efforts to to get moving on that project and caused a delay in that
project moving forward. So we were looking at the option of either delaying everything by year and
seven. So we're leaving at seven, but as we looked at and analyzed that we realized that if we could it
is within the same proximity for Ted 23. So we could move essentially the expenditure that we had
for tid 23 for tid seven into Ted 23 that would actually still allow us to close seven then on time here
this particular year. So the expenditure really isn't any different that was previously proposed is
simply being moved from one district to the other to allow this one to seven to close as was
originally anticipated, essentially. So that is primarily pedestrian improvements related to to that
particular project. Is anyone have any general questions on that in particular? Or can I get any more
details on anything on that?
- Yeah, I, I have a couple of questions, I guess. Do you have any more details about what these
projects specifically are?
- Primarily pedestrian? And again, it's a lot of some sidewalks in an area that does not have sidewalks.
Brad is the main area there we are in discussions actually with with the applicant right now on, on
doing a couple of possible other amendments in terms of maybe some more pedestrian safety islands,
some other things depending on exactly how the other project moves forward. So essentially this is
an area where there are no sidewalks right now and a lot a large part of the legends district in this
media there, it was really meant to kind of enhance its the pedestrian aspects of its particularly
obviously with game day is big focus. Lots of people walking in this immediate area the idea was this
project that hotel project was kind of meant to be the really the key funding projects to help pay for
those improvements in this particular area. So it's really a matter of kind of just trying to tie it into,
again the delay of the project really just allowing us to still became a kind of a little bit of an exercise.
We rather than leave seven open-ended additional year we just felt it would be more appropriate to
shift it to seven because it is within a half mile of that district. And we'll still serve that district for 23.
So again, primarily sidewalk improvements on at least two streets. I'm trying to remember exactly
which two they were not being from green Bay. That doesn't help me originally when we get actually.
So I can't actually bring some more in additional details if you can share that out with the specific
improvements, if they if the board would like to see those, we're happy to I'm happy to share those
with them.
- Well, the reason that I was asking was because on the Ted 23 slide, it shows 850,000 I mean
$820,000 reduction in debt or payment towards debt. And so I just wanted to know if this is assigned
to a specific project or if it's just going into points of funds 23.
- This One is
- Yeah, I can just step in. I'm the one who filled out this slide. We just didn't have another line. That
was just saying for more on public expenses I guess maybe I put it on the wrong line. I guess I'm Neil
I'm he's talking about that last slide. That for 23, if you would want to jump to that one
- You can hop ahead here. Whoops. Let's see here. Oops.
- But these are know related.
- Absolutely. No, absolutely. No good questions in the note. I think the key note on this one too,
And 50,000 is a is a not to exceed number the budget estimate. I think we had when we took a look
at this one, Brad was 750 to 850,000. So if you actually look at the resolution, I think we ended up
putting a re a bracket range of seven 50 to eight 50. So let's I think Diane I probably just inserted the
maximum number on the table there.
- He's saying, I guess I put it in the expensive deadline and the debt has that actually been incurred
yet? That is correct. Bradley it's probably should be up in probably public. I mean, expenses are
projected expenses for 2021 that has not been incurred yet. We certainly have worked with our
director of public works and his staff is working on the engineering. And then, the kind of the design
of the infrastructure, again, it was really they already put one plan together that in 2020 and then
things have changed. So they only have to go back and incorporate the, the plan that's for that area
and the changes with this hotel. So the, the department of public works is working on it. It just has
not, did not get finalized in 20. They have to make some tweaks for 21 and then there'll be moving
forward to put those these bids out on the street.
- So the resolution for consideration is, is really to transfer funds, to not to exceed 850,000 to
complete capital projects related to Ted 23. And those funds I would assume, will need to be like
we'll need to have that amount by the end of 2021 so that we can complete the term.
- Correct.
- So at some point during the year, probably in October meeting, we'll have an idea whether that's
seven 5,800 or 850. Okay. And
- Diane, I'm assuming we can just go and make a splint to that table. Great question Brad. Good
catch. Thank you. So back to here, hopping back on to seven, does anyone else have any questions
regarding a seven at this point in terms of the specifics, the allocation amendment?
- The only other question is there any remaining net value Three going out for affordable housing,
which is a one-year revenue projection. We have 850 not to exceed 850 going for these Capital
projects. Where does that put the tid seven fund
- With, with projected and with the remaining debt service? It will put us at about somewhere
between depends. If we put up picking eight 50 out, Nope about 800 again, if, if he's on the high end
that would put it down to zero. If it was closer to 800 million, we might be closer to you don't have
any remaining balance of, 40 to 50,000. So it's going to kind of be depend on how the bids come in
this, this, this summer.
- And if, if the construction is authorized up to eight 50 and they expend it and it ends up negative,
what, how do we, does the city of green Bay eat the negative amount upon termination? And if it
ends up positive, is there a distribution?
- Yes, correct. Well, this project probably would end up being wind over the eight 50. It would get
enough paying out probably either the city would pay before or like you said or would probably be a
tip to I'm 23 then expense. And if there was a yes, then that would get distributed at the end of the
year when this term empty tin is closed.
- Okay.
- Other questions on the two seven allocation amendment
- A hundred thousand dollars?
- Yes. There was a $900,000 allocation that was approved last year to go to tips, tip nine, if you
remember that is our 54 57 industrial park that had very negative. So yes, there was 900 approved in
a prior meeting. And then we expected not only this 900,000 we also expected these amenities for
these pedestrian amenities would have been completed in 20 and then we were going to close it. So
the only thing that didn't happen was the some of those amenities to dock it finished in 20. And so
we're asking instead of leaving again, as Neil said leaving this tid open one more year let's still close it
down get that affordable housing again for our sake. And then in a year from now then all the texting
jurisdictions will have the additional increment for this tid which is 2021 increment for tid seven is
793,000. Now it's 800,000. Now there's one all to go back, closing down to seven.
- And I think to something to make that a little clearer would do to fill in the ending balance. Yeah.
- The eight 50 puts it right around right around zero balance. And so if you vote to put 800, yes, yes.
It would have had a positive fund balance about 50. So that, that is why we allocated anywhere from
seven 50 to eight 50. That is two things we knew. What would, what was allowed or what was we
had available in here and based on some of the preliminary quotes that DPW had put out there and
estimates that it was in that ballpark
- We can make that make that edit. That's not a problem. So from 10, seven to 10 23, okay. We'll
move on to jug. And this is again we mentioned that this essentially just identifying the affordable
housing resolution extension which was in the previous table as, as well as and then the termination
resolution for this particular district. So any questions on either anything else related to tid seven, if
not, we'll hop onto to tid eight. Again, this is the this is the moral street district here specifically. This
is the one, this is the district here. We're looking at again starting balances is primarily simply the
housing extension resolution for this particular district. So again, there's our there's our numbers as
currently projected. So this would be obsession to be a $381,000 extension into today's date. So no
other expenses on this one any questions on tid eight? Okay. Continuously again this resolution items
specifically were again drafted and included in your packet. This case there will there was no specific
action required by this body but then also the termination resolution for eight, again to make sure
that we'll take care of both of those. So getting two of those closed will be a nice to get a couple of
those put away and back on the tax roll for everyone. So that we've learned to a TIF district. Number
nine. Again, this is the highway 54 57 business park district. This is the one we are simply termination
resolution. This one does still have a balance of funds owed here again. This is the actual item. Here is
the actual, the notice. They still have the expenses of $1.4 million on this one. So this is one Diana,
correct me. If I'm wrong, the city essentially will be taking on the debt for this particular district.
- We have, as you have seen, you can see that we've moved in 2.9 million, cover those expenses. It
was a negative fund bales of 1.3 one point somewhere around 1.3. We still had some few small
expenses this year. And then we have in remaining outstanding debt of 1.4 that would roll up with
would end up with and things zero. Yes. If that's a small surplus then it would get allocated to the
texting jurisdictions. If it's a shorter shortfall, then the city would take on the, if there is so it's right
around the ending balance should be close to zero.
- Yes.
- And this will just obviously with the transfer from the previous, from the previous year this is
essentially bringing this one to a close. Any questions on tid night? This is one, the city actually does
have some, we do plan on continuing to allocate to assist the property owners in marketing this
property. Even though we are looking at closing this one there's still some developable potential out
in this area. So we will be continuing to work with the owners on there and try to get this area
improved to add some additional taxable value out here but it will simply will not be the district will
be open to help us do that. We're just gonna need to look at some other opportunities to help make
that happen. So any questions on tid nine? And then 10 23 is simply the allocation amendment. This is
the recipient to the first one we initially discussed. Essentially it's the same for project that we were
discussing earlier. So again, stills of the resolution is resolved. It is required from the joint review
board. At this point, looking at this kind of simple numbers here, I don't have that we can certainly
could be make available as as is obviously long. This is a fairly new district. So there's minimal amount
of projects and things to be done in this one going forward. So we don't have necessarily a projected
and balance at this point because it's subject to a lot of other projects, but certainly happy to, to,
spend some more detailed reviewing to 23 of the actual expenses in that one if that was something
that was desired by this body.
- So the way I'm interpreting kid 23 is, is that if we can get the infrastructure in place, then we have a
a potential opportunity that would add to the increment of this kid. So until that work gets done
they're not willing to sign off. Is that kind of the way to think about it? Is this how the final piece that
if we put the infrastructure in they'll sign, I mean I guess my question is, are we spending with a are
we spending the money knowing that we're going to get are we spending that hoping that we get it?
- No, this is, we know this. We are fairly certain with the one project we were looking at doing here.
We are looking at almost for certain on the hotel project but there's a couple of other lots in this
immediate area that I think we're kind of projecting some increment on, but we do know for sure the
one project we are certainly doing the allocation for we're we're, we don't have a we actually have a
development agreement in place with this particular developer to do the project. They are essentially
because of the delay. They are essentially in violation of that. We are re basically renegotiating that
particular agreement to kind of do that one year extension Bob. So we're, we're pretty, fairly
confident that that project is going to move forward. It's going to generate this essentially to make
this one happen. And we do think that it is going to have a positive impact on dependents, rounding
lots immediately around this hotel site, we think there are going to be additional increment that's
likely going to happen because this hotel project gets put in. So the minimum requirement is this
hotel is one. Yes, we are fairly sure that it's going to come in once this amendment is made, but the
other, the it should hopefully be a catalyst for the other increment that's projected for Ted 23 to
kind of help make some increment happen for surrounding this particular project.
- So Diana, have you run the numbers to take a look at what it looks when it could be based off of
the work? I mean, is this put us into a really strong position on two 23? I'm assuming that it's just,
we're getting snippets of it. And so I'm trying to understand what 23 looks.
- Yep. 23 is brand new, just got open in 2020. So nothing really, not much action has happened in
here so that this is part of the reason why we wanted to take this allocation. I'm also through. So
what we're looking at is pretty pretty much what we think the expense for these amenities for a
pedestrian amenities are going to be paid for the prior 10 moving forward. Do do I have a forecast
we'll be bringing obviously we'll have all that information at our next meetings. our, as we finish out
the year of 2020 and we project 2021 and future years we would have more information on the 10
23, but at this point really what the project that we're planning to take we're really looking expecting
that, up to that eight 50 it's just going to pay for those amenities. And that helps really though the
former tid seven and it will help to tid 23, which will be a big big asset for the new hotel project
coming in. So I don't I don't have those specific numbers right now for you. I'm obviously we will have
that when we have our annual meeting in June and the projections for that for that hotel project,
we're still working on their their timing they've at, looking for, they looked they were ahead asked to
delay because of the cold COVID year. So we were working with them and looking at the new
timelines. So then we'll have better projections later this year.
- Okay, perfect. Thank you.
- Any other questions regarding two 23 and or seventh? They are kind of joined at the hip here. My,
for this one, any other questions on either of these? Okay. If not a meeting schedule coming up here
obviously this is us today, but yes
- We didn't take an official vote the resolutions
- Actually, I guess that's my understanding is that those resolutions don't necessarily get approved
until actually they're the second JRB meetings. Is that correct? I guess that they're, that they were
introduced at this particular meeting and then they were actually voted on at the, at the second
meeting. Is that, I mean, I'm certainly happy to, we can certainly have them take the vote on it, but I
believe with cause I think the Jeremy Rose resolution specifically include the fact that the RDA has
met and that council has taken action. So obviously they can't do that until their second meeting.
- I apologize for that.
- Okay. So just Tara, so RDA as our entity is such that it acts like our plan commission on these
tomorrow tomorrow afternoon at one 30, we're looking at this taking these to the city council on
March 16th and then obviously sending out some sort of a doodle poll or other scheduling
mechanism with, with the joint review board here to get to the second meeting scheduled to where
where we will actually take action on the two resolutions any questions or concerns on either of
those
- I am just wondering whether there's a way that we can make it. It says not to exceed 850,000, but I
don't know that it's limiting to identified capital improvements. If we can say somehow in the
resolution that these are four capital projects identified within 2020 as a way to make sure that it's
my concern is that it'll just be we've identified that there's this much leftover in tid seven and we're
transferring it over for capital projects to be determined. And I'd rather it be for capital projects that
we've identified in 2020.
- I don't see any issues with that whatsoever. Easy to add, happy to do that. And that's why we don't
load on it at the first meeting also to help us dial it in that's that's not a problem, so. Okay. All right.
Any other questions I'm bringing everybody back here. Righty. All right. Looking back on those items,
we've kind of covered regular business and the informational ones throughout all those presentations.
So is there any, any questions on really any of the the proposed actions here? He's our intersections
ERF. We kind of covered them all in one shot here. Okay. And then we will set the next date
meeting date and time we'll do that. We'll do a poll of confirm everyone's availability in the, if anyone
has any questions, I'll make sure hopefully via email. I think everyone has my contact information and,
or Diana's. If any questions do come up please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know.
Otherwise we will send out a poll for the next meeting date and time. Once the RDA and city
council has taken action on these items, I guess, was that we would be ready for a motion to adjourn
all in favor, please say aye.
- Aye All right. Thank you for your time, everyone. Sorry for the glitch at the beginning of the
meeting, hopefully we will dial that one in the next time around, so thank you everybody.
- Thanks.
Report to the
Tax Incremental Districts Joint Review Board
of the City of Green Bay
MEETING DATE PREPARED BY
April 8, 2021 Neil Stechschulte, Director
AGENDA ITEM # E.1
Consideration with possible action to adopt an Allocation Amendment Resolution and amend the Project
Plan for TID Seven (7), Ashland Avenue and Lombardi Avenue Corridors to make an allocation to TID
Twenty-Three (23), Legends District, for purposes of blight elimination and public infrastructure costs.
BACKGROUND
TID 7 has accumulated aggregate incremental property taxes greater than the amount of total project costs.
However, several pedestrian and streetscape public improvements planned for this district have not been
installed because of a delay in a private development due to the economic conditions created by the
pandemic. Leaving these projects to be funded by TID 7 would require the City to leave TID 7 open for an
additional year. The location of the proposed improvements are in proximity to and will also serve TID 23.
Wisconsin State Statutes permit the transfer of funds from TID 7 to TID 23 as a blighted/remediation TID.
The Green Bay Redevelopment Authority has the ability to approve such a transfer subject to further
approvals by the Green Bay City Council and the Joint Review Board. Staff has determined that an allocation
of up to eight-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars ($850,000) of excess TID 7 incremental property taxes to
TID 23 would provide sufficient funds to cover these project costs, and would allow the City to close TID 7
this year.
It is necessary for this resolution to be adopted by the JRB prior to the adoption of a Termination
Resolution for TID 7.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an Allocation Amendment Resolution and amend the Project Plan for TID Seven (7), Ashland Avenue
and Lombardi Avenue Corridors to include an allocation to not to exceed $850,000 to TID Twenty-Three
(23), Legends District, for purposes of blight elimination and public infrastructure costs, and forward to the
Green Bay City Council for their consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT

3.4. On Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at 1:30 p.m., virtually through Zoom, held a public hearing on the
proposed amendments to TID 7, in which interested parties were afforded reasonable opportunity to
express their views on the Amended Project Plan; and

rehabilitation TID for purposes of blight elimination and public infrastructure costs; and
page 4 of 13 City of Green Bay
5.7. That “but for” the adoption of an Allocation Amendment, the development projected to occur in
both TID 7 and TID 23, as detailed in the City Comprehensive Plan, would not occur in the manner
desired by the City and RDA; and
5.8. The improvement of the area is likely to significantly enhance the value of substantially all of the other
real property in both TID 7 and TID 23 and
5.9. The economic benefits of both TID 7 and TID 23, as measured by increased property value,
employment, and income,
5.9.1. Are greater than the cost of the improvements identified in the respective Project Plans; and
5.9.2. Are greater than the anticipated tax increments to be paid by owners of real property within the
overlying taxing jurisdictions; and
5.10.The TID 7 and TID 23 Project Plans are feasible and in conformity with the City Comprehensive Plan.
Proposed Amendment
Amend the Non-Project Costs section of the TID 7 Project Plan to include an allocation, in an amount not to
exceed eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($850,000), from TID 7 to TID 23, for the purposes of blight
elimination and public infrastructure costs related to the implementation of Section 4.9.1 Design Standards:

RE: Certification of Amended Project Plan
Tax Increment District No. 7 - City of Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin
This opinion relates to the compliance of the proposed amended project plan for Tax Increment
District No. 7, City of Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin (hereinafter “District”) with the
requirements of §66.1105(4), Wis. Stats.
The Community and Economic Development Department has drafted an amended project plan for
the District. Pursuant to statutory requirements, a public hearing was held before the
Redevelopment Authority at which interested parties were afforded a reasonable opportunity to
express their views on the proposed project plan amendment [§66.1105(4)(e), Wis. Stats.]. This
hearing was held on March 9, 2021. Resolutions adopting the amended project plan and
authorizing allocation of positive tax increments from the District, along with an affordable
housing extension, and termination will be considered by the Common Council on the evening of
March 16, 2021.
I have examined the amended project plan and find that, together with the original project plan, it
is complete and complies with the requirements of §66.1105(4)(f), Wis. Stats. This opinion is
provided pursuant to §66.1105(4)(f), Wis. Stats.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Report to the
Tax Incremental Districts Joint Review Board
of the City of Green Bay
MEETING DATE PREPARED BY
April 8, 2021 Neil Stechschulte, Director
AGENDA ITEM # E.2
Consideration with possible action to adopt an Allocation Amendment Resolution and amend the Project
Plan for TID Twenty-Three (23), Legends District, to be a recipient of an allocation from TID Seven (7),
Lombardi Avenue and Ashland Avenue Corridors for purposes of blight elimination and public infrastructure
costs.
BACKGROUND
TID 7 has accumulated aggregate incremental property taxes greater than the amount of total project costs.
However, several pedestrian and streetscape public improvements planned for this district have not been
installed because of a delay in a private development due to the economic conditions created by the
pandemic. Leaving these projects to be funded by TID 7 would require the City to leave TID 7 open for an
additional year. The location of the proposed improvements are in proximity to and will also serve TID 23.
Wisconsin State Statutes permit the transfer of funds from TID 7 to TID 23 as a blighted/remediation TID
for purposes of blight elimination and public infrastructure costs. The Redevelopment Authority has the
ability to approve such a transfer subject to further approvals by the Green Bay City Council and the Joint
Review Board. Staff has determined that an allocation of up to eight-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars
($850,000) of excess TID 7 incremental property taxes to TID 23 would provide sufficient funds to cover
these project costs, and would allow the City to close TID 7 this year. The project plan for TID 23 must be
amended to be able to receive an allocation from TID 7.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an Allocation Amendment Resolution and amend the Project Plan for TID Twenty-Three (23),
Legends District, to be able to receive an allocation to not to exceed $850,000 from TID Seven (7),
Lombardi Avenue and Ashland Avenue Corridors, for purposes of blight elimination and public infrastructure
costs, and forward to the Green Bay City Council and Joint Review Board for their consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
To be discussed at meeting.

AGENDA ITEM # F.5
Consideration with possible action to adopt a Termination Resolution for the dissolution of a Project Plan,
for the closure of TID Nine (9), State Highway 54/57 Business Park.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the RDA, the City Council and the Joint Review Board approved allocations from TID 7, TID 8, and
TID 12 to TID 9. TID 9 has not accumulated aggregate incremental property taxes equal to or greater than
the amount of total project costs. Based on the evaluation of current market conditions and development
projections, Staff has determined that closure of TID 9 in 2021 is in the best interest of the City. Any
remaining debt owed in TID 9 will be absorbed by the City of Green Bay. TID 9 has a mandatory
termination date of October 7, 2026. The City intends to continue to work with property owners to
market this area for development.
