OLD BUSINESS:
REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1 PLAN
Director Brian Turk informed the commissioners that the Engineering Department had provided the
lengthy legal description which was now included in the updated draft as required by Statute. After
the comments at the last meeting, clarifications were made on page 13, which relates to changes
in building codes and ordinances and site improvements and additional public utilities. Nothing
had been added or deleted, just clarifications.
Public hearing on the Redevelopment District 1 Plan was discussed. Mr. Turk explained the public
hearing notification requirements and the procedure to be followed for the public hearing. In
reviewing the timetable provided for this issue, the commissioners were concerned about the public
hearings on the TID by the Plan Commission and the Redevelopment District Plan by the
Community Development Authority being scheduled consecutive nights. Ald. Salentine moved
that the Community Development Authority hold the public hearing on the Redevelopment
District 1 Plan on January 15, 2003. Commissioner Miles seconded. Upon a voice vote, the
motion carried.
TID 9 STATUS (Plan Commission)
Commissioners were in receipt of a draft dated November 25, 2002. Plan Commission will have a
public hearing on January 14, 2003 on the Tax Incremental Financing District No. 9. Director Turk
CDA Minutes, December 11, 2002, page 2
informed the commissioners that there were some substantial changes in the document. The total
number of $1.3 million did not change, but how the funds are allocated in the district was revised.
On page 9, the plan now allocates $690,000 to the water main extensions and $385,000 to the
underground utility wires. Previously all the money had been in the water project. The reason for
the change was to essentially focus the TID dollars on the portions of Janesville Road between
Durham Drive and Tess Corners Drive whereas the prior $1.3 million water project went all the way
to College Avenue. He mentioned that the water project may still happen, but it will be treated as a
separate project and assessed whereas the project from Durham Drive to Tess Corners Drive is
proposed now not to be assessed. Ald. Petfalski inquired what made the change come about?
Director Turk explained that there were not enough TID dollars available to do the entire water
project and fund the electric. Realizing that the project would not happen without TID, they focused
on that need. Also, there is no user passed St. Paul’s church that has committed to wanting water.
These are the main changes to the document. Director Turk reviewed briefly the structures that
would be demolished due to the widening of the road.
Commissioners reviewed the timeline for the two projects and the involvement with the Plan
Commission and the Common Council.
NEW BUSINESS: None
CITIZEN COMMENTARY: None
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
Attorney John Macy periodically holds seminars on the open records and the open meeting laws.
A seminar is scheduled for January 23 at 6:30 p.m. Any commissioner interested in attending
should advise Director Turk.
Ald. Salentine mentioned that legal counsel needs to be retained for the CDA so they are
represented when required. CDA needs separate counsel when negotiating with the Common
Council. This will be an agenda item for the next meeting.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN STATUS
Plan Director Turk reported the general consensus was that attendance wasn’t as high as
expected at the vision workshop, but the input received was good and solid. The consultants
continued by doing personal interviews with the business community. A brief presentation was
given at the Mayor’s Task Force on their initial demographic and market findings.
Ald. Petfalski stated that last July, he had asked the members of the Common Council to talk about
their goals and what they wanted to accomplish. He shared copies of the typed responses as
these may prove to be helpful to them.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Items on the next agenda would include, but not limited to, legal counsel, Redevelopment Authority
#1, TID #9, Mayor’s Task Force.
CDA Minutes, December 11, 2002, page 3
NEXT MEETING:
The next meeting is scheduled for January 15, 2003. It will follow the public hearing on the
Redevelopment District No. 1. Commissioner Link recommended another meeting prior to the plan
going to the Common Council. The purpose of the meeting would be to make sure the changes
made on January 15 are in the document.
ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business, Commissioner Link moved for adjournment. Ald. Salentine
seconded. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
