It was clarified that there has been one amendment to TID #8 which was basically to remove the Parkland Mall property. Mr. Cosson proceeded to explain the Pay-As-You-Go TID Financing. With this “PAYG” Financing, the Municipality does not issue debt to raise capital for Tax Increment eligible expenses. The developer would finance costs through private loan. Revenue stream from Tax Increment would pay back developer through a “Developer Bond”. Risk shifts from Municipality to Developer. Annually the Municipality appropriates tax increment revenues received to Developer under the terms of the bond (Annual appropriation). Municipality can limit the portion of participation for “PAYG”. Municipality can determine order of application of TIF revenue. Mr. Cosson indicated that this new “PAYG” Financing is being used by many large projects in the State of Wisconsin. They are some communities that are using a combination of both traditional TIF and “PAYG” Financing.
