Tax Increment Financing (TIF) #9 Project Plan John Prescott, City Manager, reported on TIF #9 Project Plan. John stated to assist with costs to develop the public infrastructure for the housing lots, law enforcement center, parkland and commercial lots, the creation of a tax increment financing district (TIF) was proposed. The TIF would be utilized to repay a loan from Vermillion Light & Power and a loan from the banks which are being used to fund a portion of the development cost. John noted the City is also utilizing several other sources of funding to build the infrastructure. The other sources of funding are a grant from the SDHDA’s Housing Infrastructure Program, Second Penny funds, STIP funds, Storm Water funds, and a contribution from Clay County for the portion of James Street that abuts the north and west sides of the law enforcement center property. 4 John stated the boundaries of Tax Increment Financing District #9 were approved by the City Council on June 17, 2024 after a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission (Commission). The boundaries of TIF #9 were expanded from the Commission recommendation to have a larger base of property to repay the debt. Essentially all of the Jack Powell Addition minus Block 3 is within the boundaries of TIF #9. John stated the next step for the City in setting up the TIF District for the Jack Powell Addition is approval of the TIF #9 Project Plan. The Commission considered the Project Plan for TIF #9 at their meeting on June 24, 2024. The Commission recommended approval of the Project Plan with a vote of 6-0. The Project Plan proposes to use the following revenue streams: Second Penny Grant $505,000 County Contribution $305,000 (estimated amount) SDHDA Grant $867,778 Light & Power Loan $1,030,000 Bank Loan $1,000,000 Storm Water Fund $650,000 STIP Fund $300,000 John noted lot sale revenue and the property tax increment would be used to repay the approximately $2,030,000 of debt (Light & Power loan and the bank loan) for constructing the public infrastructure. The Second Penny funds, County contribution, SDHDA grant, Storm Water fund contribution, and the STIP fund contribution are not required to be repaid. It is currently estimated that TIF District #9 will be closed in 2041 with the projections in the plan. 235-24 Council Member Murra moved approval of the Tax Increment financing (TIF) #9 Project Plan.

Shane stated that on June 23rd two mains were lost and on June 27th the last main was taken offline due to the flood. Shane stated the anticipated contracts will exceed $50,000. State statute requires a competitive sealed bid process to be used for awarding a contract of $50,000. Due to the wastewater system no longer working properly, Staff would like to expedite the process. 5 Shane stated that given the three force mains are no longer operational and wanting to ensure the wastewater system can efficiently manage the community’s discharge, Staff would request that the City Council declare the replacement of a force main on a temporary basis from Main Lift No. 1 to the treatment plant. Council Member Holland asked if they have investigated piping it above the river. Shane stated that there are multiple different options and that is one of the options. Shane stated that they could pipe around to Dakota Street and through fields or pipe it over the river. Discussion followed on the Wastewater Plant viability and solutions. 236-24 Council Member Price moved approval to declare the replacement of a force main on a temporary basis from Main Lift No. 1 to the treatment plant and authorize Staff to contract for the force main replacement by using quotes as outlined in SDCL 5-18A-9.
