Land Bank Report FY 2021-22 1 LAND BANK OF BLUE SPRINGS The purpose of the Land Bank of Blue Springs is to return non-revenue-generating and non-tax- producing land to usefulness. The land bank agency is composed of a Board of Commissioners consisting of five members, all of whom are residents of Blue Springs. Three commissioners are appointed by the Mayor of Blue Springs, one commissioner is appointed by Jackson County, and the other commissioner is appointed by the School District. Missouri Land Bank Legislation, which became effective August 28, 2012, authorized any municipality located within a county that had a land trust operating on January 1, 2012, to create a land bank agency. That legislation also provided that any property owned by the county’s land trust would be transferred to the newly created land bank agency as soon as possible after its formation. On March 4, 2013, the City of Blue Springs passed Ordinance No. 4429 creating the Land Bank of Blue Springs. Properties in Blue Springs held by the Jackson County Land Trust due to non- payment of back taxes were transferred to the Land Bank of Blue Springs. All properties sold for back taxes where the bid was not sufficient to pay the judgment are transferred to the Land Bank rather than the Jackson County Land Trust. The Board adopted Policies and Procedures for the Acquisition and Disposal of properties. These guidelines are used to determine which properties are offered for sale, the requirements for offers and how offers are evaluated. The Land Bank entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Blue Springs on August 5, 2013, with the initial term of the Agreement ending on September 30, 2016. In 2019, the Land Bank Board of Commissioners approved an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City ending on September 30, 2022. A new Intergovernmental Agreement was approved by the Land Bank and the City in 2022 with a term ending on September 30, 2025. The South Area Sewer Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) was formed after the annexation of approximately 1,500 acres of undeveloped property into the corporate limits of the City of Blue Springs. The purpose of the NID is to provide funding to build sewer infrastructure that would enable the area to be developed. The City issued 20-year NID Bonds in 2009 to be repaid through special assessments on the properties. Growth and development in the NID decreased significantly when the recession started in 2008. In some cases, the taxes and NID special assessments went unpaid and the properties were transferred to the Land Bank. This report includes a summary of the actions taken by the Land Bank of Blue Springs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

Each year, a budget is prepared and presented to the Board for adoption. Throughout the year, quarterly financial statements are reviewed by the Board and included on the meeting agendas for discussion. Properties that are transferred to the Land Bank from Jackson County are recorded at the market value the County has listed at the time of the transfer. The gain or loss on sale of property is calculated as the difference between the property’s sales price and the market value of the property as determined by the County.
