Motion by McReynolds, second by Ewert to approve the contract extension with Young Mundy RE. All aye. Motion carried. The Board discussed Resolution 1001-091123 that was adopted by the Village Board on September 11, 2023 and reviewed that it did not clearly list the parcels and their values proposed to be added and subtracted as part of the TID 3 territory amendment. The omissions resulted in incorrect revisions to the TID 3 Amendment No. 1 Project Plan and Map, and inaccurate data was reported to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue for certifying the TID Amendment. The following four (4) parcels (list Parcel IDs) will be subtracted from the District. The value of the subtracted parcels is the original value when the parcels entered the TID—in this case $586,800 in 2019 divided by the 2019 Ratio of 84.56% totaling $672,658. The following three (3) parcels (list Parcel IDs) will be added to the District. The value of the added parcels is January 1 of the amendment year—in this case $411,200 in divided by the Town Ratio of 86.59% totaling $474,856. Houston motioned, Pollnow seconded to adopt Resolution 1009-112023 A Revised Resolution Approving the Project Plan and Territory Amendment No 1 for Tax Increment District No. 3 by roll call vote; Nash-Aye, Pollnow-Aye, Houston-Aye, McReynolds-Aye, Jaskie-Aye, Ewert-Aye. Motion passed. Motion by Ewert, second by McReynolds to adjourn at 6:55 pm. All aye. Motion carried. Respectfully submitted by, Rachel Ladewig, Clerk
