The Amended Project Plan demonstrates that TID 12 has accumulated aggregate incremental property taxes greater than the amount of total project costs; and 2. In accordance with Wis. Stats. §66.1105(6)(f)3, that TID 12 has satisfied all of its current year debt service and project cost obligations; and 3. Prior to the mandatory termination date of September 6, 2032, TID 13 will not have accumulated aggregate incremental property taxes equal to or greater than the amount of total project costs; and 4. Wis. Stats. §66.1105 permits the City to donate surplus funds from TID 12 to TID 13 as a blighted TID; and 5. That “but for” the adoption of an Allocation Amendment, the development projected to occur in both TID 12 and TID 13, as detailed in the City Comprehensive Plan, would not occur in the manner desired by the City and RDA; and 6. The improvement of the area is likely to significantly enhance the value of substantially all of the other real property in both TID 12 and TID 13; and 7. The economic benefits of both TID 12 and TID 13, as measured by increased property value, employment, and income, 7.1. Are greater than the cost of the improvements identified in the respective Project Plans; and 7.2. Are greater than the anticipated tax increments to be paid by owners of real property within the overlying taxing jurisdictions; and 8. The TID 12 and TID 13 Project Plans are feasible and in conformity with the City Comprehensive Plan. 9. TID 12 and TID 13 have the same overlying taxing jurisdictions.
