Downtown Projects - Tools
City Council President:
Motion 1.d. I move to present to the Urban Renewal
Agency Board for its review a proposed amendment to the downtown
urban renewal plan that would 1) restrict the use of tax increment
funds and increase the spending limit to pay for (i) the Broadway
Place Garages’ debt, thereby freeing up funds for additional police
officers downtown, and (ii) three other projects specified in the
motion below, and 2) terminate the downtown urban renewal district
as soon as the projects are paid for or sufficient funds are collected
