Dated this 16th day of July, 2018. BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL By Judi Funk Deputy City Clerk Publication Dates: July 22, 2018 August 12, 2018 City of Kalispell Post Office Box 1997; Kalispell, Montana 59903 Telephone: (406) 758-7701 Fax: (406) 758-7758 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Johnson and City Council From: Doug Russell, City Manager Re: MOU with FCEDA- Costs for Rail Park Development/Administration Meeting Date: July 16, 2018 BACKGROUND: In January of 2015, The City of Kalispell and Flathead County Economic Development Authority formalized a Memorandum of Understanding to identify the partnership for engineering costs related to the rail park being constructed as part of the TIGER grant. Similar to that MOU, FCEDA and the city have been finalizing an MOU to outline the use of the Targeted Economic Development District (TEDD) funds to reimburse FCEDA for a portion of the costs they will be incurring in their administrative responsibility related to relocation agreements. A recent project in the Westside Tax Increment Finance District (TIF) had been set up to reimburse the development only after taxes had been paid for a respective year, thus identifying the increment to the project itself. The MOU before Council is similar in that it provides revenues to FCEDA from their development project of relocating CHS Inc. to the rail park in the amount equal to the taxes paid by CHS that are above their existing tax burden. This has been part of the initial funding package discussed amongst the parties and is now being formalized since we are nearing completion of the rail park and the relocation of the tenants. The term of the MOU is for 20 years from the first payment to FCEDA. However, the TEDD will expire after 15 years unless an approved project in the development plan is bonded with revenues pledged from the TEDD. As such, there is a prepayment clause included to aid in the fulfillment of the obligation should the TEDD expire. The Urban Renewal Agency reviewed this Memorandum of Understanding with FCEDA at its most recent meeting and is in concurrence with it moving forward. FISCAL IMPACT: The funds that will be paid to FCEDA will be based on the new taxes generated by their respective portion of the project, the CHS relocation. It does not include the taxes that are being paid into the TEDD from CHS (base amount) that are equal to the amount they currently pay ($104,000). This base amount that is not subject to payment to FCEDA will also increase 2% per year. ALTERNATIVES: Council may reject the MOU with FCEDA or request different parameters than those that have been previously discussed and incorporated into the MOU as desired. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council move to approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Kalispell and the Flathead County Economic Development Authority.
