A. The Commission shall have the following
duties:
1.
To hold public hearings required
by Sections 99.800 to 99.865, RSMo. (the "TlF Act") on any proposed
redevelopment plan, redevelopment project, designation of a redevelopment
area or any amendments thereto. The Commission shall fix a time and
place for such public hearing within fifteen (15) days from receipt
of a redevelopment plan meeting the minimum requirements of Section
99.810 of the TlF Act, as determined by counsel to the City. Such
public hearing shall take place no later than seventy-five (75) days
from receipt of the redevelopment plan.
2.
To provide all notices as required
by the TIF Act.
3.
To vote and make recommendations
to the City Council on all proposed redevelopment plans, redevelopment
projects, designations of redevelopment areas, and amendments thereto
within thirty (30) days following the completion of the public hearing.
A recommendation of approval shall only be deemed to occur if a majority
of the commissioners voting on such plan, project, designation, or
amendment thereto vote for approval. A tied vote shall be considered
a recommendation in opposition. If the Commission fails to vote within
thirty (30) days following the completion of the public hearing referred
to in Section 99.825, RSMo., of the TIF Act concerning the proposed
redevelopment plan, redevelopment project, or designation of redevelopment
area, or any amendments thereto, such plan, project, designation,
or amendment thereto shall be deemed rejected by the Commission.
The records of the Tax Increment Financing Commission, including,
but not limited to, Commission votes and actions, meeting minutes,
summaries of witness testimony, data, and reports submitted to the
Commission shall be retained by the governing body of the municipality
that created the Commission and shall be made available to the public
in accordance with Chapter 610, RSMo.
[R.O. 2011 § 125.685; Ord. No. 11-157 §§ 4 — 5, 8-10-2011]
A. The City hereby adopts the following procedures
for bids and proposals for the implementation of redevelopment projects:
1.
The City or the Commission shall
solicit proposals with respect to the implementation of each proposed
redevelopment project.
2.
Each request for proposals shall
state the primary objectives of the proposed redevelopment area or
redevelopment project.
3.
Each request for proposals (or notice
thereof) shall be mailed to those persons or firms that the City's
Director of Community Development or the City's Planning Consultant
determines might be interested in submitting a bid, and shall be published
in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. Each request for
proposals shall provide at least thirty (30) days for the submission
of a proposal.
4.
Each proposal must demonstrate that
"but for" the use of tax increment financing, the project is not feasible
and would not be completed.
5.
Criteria for the selection of proposals
will include the impact of the proposed project on the City and other
taxing jurisdictions, including the projected term for which tax increment
financing will be utilized. The City or the Commission may establish
such additional criteria as it deems appropriate for the selection
of bids and proposals. Each request for proposals shall provide reasonable
opportunity for any person to submit alternative proposals or bids.
