Hey, we're rolling. 00:00:00
Alright. 00:00:03
Come here. 00:00:06
I am going to now start our Redevelopment Agency board meeting. The time is 8/16. It is October 25th, 2023. I need a motion to 00:00:10
approve the minutes. 00:00:16
Madam Mayor, I move. We approve and send items. Yes. Second. First by tie. Second by Christie. All in favor? Aye. All right. We're 00:00:22
going to go into a public hearing on extending the life of the RDA. I need a motion to go into a public hearing. 00:00:29
Thank you, guys. Second, second by Amber, all in favor, aye. All right, Ezra. OK. Welcome back, everybody. We had this item on the 00:00:36
agenda for last week and so I have my presentation again for this week. This is a similar item where we are extending the life of 00:00:43
the RDA on certain parcels within the RDA. This will actually complete the extension for all of the untriggered parcels within the 00:00:51
RDA. So we split it up to do the downtown Area 1st and now we're doing just the rest of the. 00:00:58
Parcels throughout the RDA South of 800 N, so I'll give a more abbreviated version this time, but I think it's an important 00:01:06
concept that our residents understand because of how important the RDA is for the city. 00:01:12
So once again, I'll go through the background, how tax income works, notable projects, how it works with our property taxes. I'll 00:01:17
give an example there as well and then talk about what area this extends as well. 00:01:24
So a little background on the RDA. The Geneva urban renewal area was created in 2010. So this is back before all the time on the 00:01:31
Council. 00:01:35
The purpose of this area was to redevelop the old steel site. So steel mill was out there on the Geneva steel site and relocated 00:01:42
to China. They actually took the steel plant and they took it over to China and started their operations there. So it left a 00:01:48
significant blighted parcel where cleanup was needed and additional infrastructure was needed to be able to develop that area to 00:01:55
help accommodate with the growth happening in Utah County due to the high amount of children that we have here and also the the 00:02:01
interest in. 00:02:08
Other. 00:02:15
Other places moving here? 00:02:16
This area is being redeveloped to help support that growth that we're experiencing here. 00:02:18
So tax increment financing is the main tool that the RDA uses to fund these projects. So essentially. 00:02:25
Tax increment financing helps you finance projects based on the future growth of an area. 00:02:33
So when you look at an old blighted area, there's no potential for development, there's no potential for property taxes to grow on 00:02:39
there. And So what happens is a bunch of the tax collecting agencies, so in this case, the school district, our water Conservancy 00:02:44
district. 00:02:49
Our city, Our county. 00:02:55
And our special service districts, they all got together and decided, you know what, it's better for this property to be developed 00:02:57
for, for our benefit and to help with this growth and for it to sit as vacant pollutant land and so. 00:03:03
All of this tax increment that's generated off the site helps to grow and develop that blighted area. 00:03:10
And parks, trails are overpass roads. Different different infrastructure projects throughout throughout the throughout the city. 00:03:49
So how this works with property taxes is if you live in Utah County, you've seen this chart on your property tax bill or whoever 00:03:57
pays your property taxes have seen it. That shows the breakdown of all the different taxing agencies and how much property tax 00:04:03
they they collect on your parcel. This is. 00:04:08
A property tax statement for medium sized home for vineyard within Vineyard. And so roughly you're seeing a $2600 of total 00:04:15
assessed taxes for the 2022 year. So we're going to take this example and do a little bit of rounding to show what happens on an 00:04:23
untriggered parcel since we're talking about extending the life of the RDA when property taxes when a parcel is triggered, then 00:04:31
the agency has 25 years to collect the tax increment on that, on that. 00:04:38
Property tax. So here we're assuming that this house was built on a blighted area with zero growth, so their base value for 00:04:47
property taxes is 0. And now the incremental value for the value above that base value would be $3000 in total annual taxes. And 00:04:54
you'll see here roughly the school district would collect 1800 of that, the city 850, the county 250 and the special districts 150 00:05:01
for a total annual tax bill for that home of $3000. 00:05:08
And that would result in $850 going to the benefit of Vineyard. 00:05:16
Alternatively, when we have a triggered parcel. 00:05:22
All the taxes are the same, so you'll see School District tax 1800, City tax 850, County tax 250, and the Special District tax 150 00:05:26
as well for that same total annual tax bill. But. 00:05:32
The triggered amount is 75% of all of those agencies. 00:05:38
For all those agencies have agreed to pay 75% of the taxes that they would collect to the RDA. And they did that because if the 00:05:44
school district gets 25% of developed property, that's way more than 100% of undeveloped property where you have $0.00 of value. 00:05:51
And so this actually benefits Vineyard greatly because the Vineyard RDA now gets jurisdiction over $2250 of that tax bill to help 00:05:58
with some of these big infrastructure projects. 00:06:05
As many of you know, Vineyard was a very small town, 200 residents, not too long ago. And all of the infrastructure, the roads, 00:06:13
the businesses, everything that's been built here would never have been able to be paid for by that small group of residents. And 00:06:19
they're, they're very tiny tax bills. And so the RDA helped. 00:06:24
Pay for a lot of this development and helped us bond against that future property tax growth. 00:06:31
So today's agenda item again extends the life of the RDA so that we can delay the triggering of those certain parcels, so we can 00:06:40
maximize that full 25 year collection period where the city is receiving 75% or the city's RDA is receiving 75% of all the taxes 00:06:46
from those other agencies. 00:06:52
So there's a huge benefit to Vineyard. It helps really County with all the growth that is experiencing, helps provide efficient 00:06:58
use of our land. 00:07:03
Have these wasted, blighted parcels throughout throughout the area. 00:07:08
And so this is a great benefit to the city. 00:07:14
With that, do you have any questions? Any questions from the product? 00:07:18
OK, seeing as there are none. Oh, come on up. 00:07:24
Seeing as there's one. 00:07:27
Sorry, it should be more front. My name is Jordan Christensen. 00:07:30
I'm just wondering if you have any projections. 00:07:35
I guess first. 00:07:41
Understanding how much debt we currently have maybe associated with these parcels and what our financial position would be if we 00:07:44
didn't take this action. 00:07:48
Yeah, That's a good question. The second part of your question, um? 00:07:56
If we didn't take this action, we would just be less equipped to pay back the debt that we have now. We wouldn't be unequipped to 00:08:00
do that. We're still in a very. 00:08:04
Sound position with the RDA, we have about $4 million of annual payments on our bonds that extend out for about 20 years and we 00:08:10
have $10 million of annual increment currently that's being produced in the RDA. And so future years that $10 million is going to 00:08:17
continue to grow and then our bond payments are going to continue to shrink based on our projections right now. 00:08:24
And add that if we didn't do this. 00:08:32
Then we would lose value. We would lose money. 00:08:34
Well, and additionally, we wouldn't be able to clean up the rest of what we're doing. 00:08:38
OK. Any other questions? Any other questions? 00:08:44
Then I need a lesson to go out of the public hearing. Thank you, Ty. Second and second by Amber. All in favor? Aye. All right, 00:08:47
Council. Just getting RDA board. What would you would you like to discuss this, or can I get a motion? 00:08:54
I have a motion if there's no questions. 00:09:04
I move that the RDA board approve and adopt. 00:09:08
2023-08 to extend the life of the RDA. 00:09:14
In the mapped. 00:09:20
All remaining untrig. 00:09:22
Can I get a second second Thank you. First by tie, Second by Amber Tice. Yay, Amber. I yay. Marty's not here, Christy. 00:09:24
I OK, let's go into another public hearing. This is the amending of the Vineyard RDA Fiscal Year 2023-2024, Budget Amendment #1, 00:09:33
Resolution U2023-09. It moves to go into a public hearing. Thank you, Amber. 00:09:41
Second Chrissy. All in favor? Aye? All right, David. 00:09:51
Thank you. I'm a little bit offended that the crowd has gone for this, but I guess it really wasn't for me after all. 00:09:57
I appreciate you guys. 00:10:05
That would be great. I wouldn't. I wouldn't mind. Yeah. Thank you. 00:10:12
And so this will be pretty quick. So the budget amendment for the RDA is all just carry over funds from the RDAS capital expense 00:10:16
account. So the various projects that you see on the screen are projects that were started in the prior fiscal year that were not 00:10:23
completed during the fiscal year, but we still would like to complete. And so with the Board's approval, we would like to amend 00:10:31
the budget for these items in the total of 860,000 and 64 dollars. Any questions from the public? 00:10:38
OK. Seeing as there are no questions from the public, I'm going to go out of the public hearing. 00:10:47
Absolutely. First by Amber. Second by Christy. All in favor? Aye. Hardy aboard. I would love it if we could move this to the 00:10:52
November 8th meeting, if that's OK. 00:10:56
That's my motion. 00:11:02
Second, all in favor. 00:11:04
Hi. Great motion to adjourn. And 2nd, 2nd all in favor. All right. 00:11:07
Glory Halloween. 00:11:15

Hey, we're rolling. 00:00:00
Alright. 00:00:03
Come here. 00:00:06
I am going to now start our Redevelopment Agency board meeting. The time is 8/16. It is October 25th, 2023. I need a motion to 00:00:10
approve the minutes. 00:00:16
Madam Mayor, I move. We approve and send items. Yes. Second. First by tie. Second by Christie. All in favor? Aye. All right. We're 00:00:22
going to go into a public hearing on extending the life of the RDA. I need a motion to go into a public hearing. 00:00:29
Thank you, guys. Second, second by Amber, all in favor, aye. All right, Ezra. OK. Welcome back, everybody. We had this item on the 00:00:36
agenda for last week and so I have my presentation again for this week. This is a similar item where we are extending the life of 00:00:43
the RDA on certain parcels within the RDA. This will actually complete the extension for all of the untriggered parcels within the 00:00:51
RDA. So we split it up to do the downtown Area 1st and now we're doing just the rest of the. 00:00:58
Parcels throughout the RDA South of 800 N, so I'll give a more abbreviated version this time, but I think it's an important 00:01:06
concept that our residents understand because of how important the RDA is for the city. 00:01:12
So once again, I'll go through the background, how tax income works, notable projects, how it works with our property taxes. I'll 00:01:17
give an example there as well and then talk about what area this extends as well. 00:01:24
So a little background on the RDA. The Geneva urban renewal area was created in 2010. So this is back before all the time on the 00:01:31
Council. 00:01:35
The purpose of this area was to redevelop the old steel site. So steel mill was out there on the Geneva steel site and relocated 00:01:42
to China. They actually took the steel plant and they took it over to China and started their operations there. So it left a 00:01:48
significant blighted parcel where cleanup was needed and additional infrastructure was needed to be able to develop that area to 00:01:55
help accommodate with the growth happening in Utah County due to the high amount of children that we have here and also the the 00:02:01
interest in. 00:02:08
Other. 00:02:15
Other places moving here? 00:02:16
This area is being redeveloped to help support that growth that we're experiencing here. 00:02:18
So tax increment financing is the main tool that the RDA uses to fund these projects. So essentially. 00:02:25
Tax increment financing helps you finance projects based on the future growth of an area. 00:02:33
So when you look at an old blighted area, there's no potential for development, there's no potential for property taxes to grow on 00:02:39
there. And So what happens is a bunch of the tax collecting agencies, so in this case, the school district, our water Conservancy 00:02:44
district. 00:02:49
Our city, Our county. 00:02:55
And our special service districts, they all got together and decided, you know what, it's better for this property to be developed 00:02:57
for, for our benefit and to help with this growth and for it to sit as vacant pollutant land and so. 00:03:03
All of this tax increment that's generated off the site helps to grow and develop that blighted area. 00:03:10
And parks, trails are overpass roads. Different different infrastructure projects throughout throughout the throughout the city. 00:03:49
So how this works with property taxes is if you live in Utah County, you've seen this chart on your property tax bill or whoever 00:03:57
pays your property taxes have seen it. That shows the breakdown of all the different taxing agencies and how much property tax 00:04:03
they they collect on your parcel. This is. 00:04:08
A property tax statement for medium sized home for vineyard within Vineyard. And so roughly you're seeing a $2600 of total 00:04:15
assessed taxes for the 2022 year. So we're going to take this example and do a little bit of rounding to show what happens on an 00:04:23
untriggered parcel since we're talking about extending the life of the RDA when property taxes when a parcel is triggered, then 00:04:31
the agency has 25 years to collect the tax increment on that, on that. 00:04:38
Property tax. So here we're assuming that this house was built on a blighted area with zero growth, so their base value for 00:04:47
property taxes is 0. And now the incremental value for the value above that base value would be $3000 in total annual taxes. And 00:04:54
you'll see here roughly the school district would collect 1800 of that, the city 850, the county 250 and the special districts 150 00:05:01
for a total annual tax bill for that home of $3000. 00:05:08
And that would result in $850 going to the benefit of Vineyard. 00:05:16
Alternatively, when we have a triggered parcel. 00:05:22
All the taxes are the same, so you'll see School District tax 1800, City tax 850, County tax 250, and the Special District tax 150 00:05:26
as well for that same total annual tax bill. But. 00:05:32
The triggered amount is 75% of all of those agencies. 00:05:38
For all those agencies have agreed to pay 75% of the taxes that they would collect to the RDA. And they did that because if the 00:05:44
school district gets 25% of developed property, that's way more than 100% of undeveloped property where you have $0.00 of value. 00:05:51
And so this actually benefits Vineyard greatly because the Vineyard RDA now gets jurisdiction over $2250 of that tax bill to help 00:05:58
with some of these big infrastructure projects. 00:06:05
As many of you know, Vineyard was a very small town, 200 residents, not too long ago. And all of the infrastructure, the roads, 00:06:13
the businesses, everything that's been built here would never have been able to be paid for by that small group of residents. And 00:06:19
they're, they're very tiny tax bills. And so the RDA helped. 00:06:24
Pay for a lot of this development and helped us bond against that future property tax growth. 00:06:31
So today's agenda item again extends the life of the RDA so that we can delay the triggering of those certain parcels, so we can 00:06:40
maximize that full 25 year collection period where the city is receiving 75% or the city's RDA is receiving 75% of all the taxes 00:06:46
from those other agencies. 00:06:52
So there's a huge benefit to Vineyard. It helps really County with all the growth that is experiencing, helps provide efficient 00:06:58
use of our land. 00:07:03
Have these wasted, blighted parcels throughout throughout the area. 00:07:08
And so this is a great benefit to the city. 00:07:14
With that, do you have any questions? Any questions from the product? 00:07:18
OK, seeing as there are none. Oh, come on up. 00:07:24
Seeing as there's one. 00:07:27
Sorry, it should be more front. My name is Jordan Christensen. 00:07:30
I'm just wondering if you have any projections. 00:07:35
I guess first. 00:07:41
Understanding how much debt we currently have maybe associated with these parcels and what our financial position would be if we 00:07:44
didn't take this action. 00:07:48
Yeah, That's a good question. The second part of your question, um? 00:07:56
If we didn't take this action, we would just be less equipped to pay back the debt that we have now. We wouldn't be unequipped to 00:08:00
do that. We're still in a very. 00:08:04
Sound position with the RDA, we have about $4 million of annual payments on our bonds that extend out for about 20 years and we 00:08:10
have $10 million of annual increment currently that's being produced in the RDA. And so future years that $10 million is going to 00:08:17
continue to grow and then our bond payments are going to continue to shrink based on our projections right now. 00:08:24
And add that if we didn't do this. 00:08:32
Then we would lose value. We would lose money. 00:08:34
Well, and additionally, we wouldn't be able to clean up the rest of what we're doing. 00:08:38
OK. Any other questions? Any other questions? 00:08:44

Can I get a second second Thank you. First by tie, Second by Amber Tice. Yay, Amber. I yay. Marty's not here, Christy. 00:09:24
I OK, let's go into another public hearing. This is the amending of the Vineyard RDA Fiscal Year 2023-2024, Budget Amendment #1, 00:09:33

And so this will be pretty quick. So the budget amendment for the RDA is all just carry over funds from the RDAS capital expense 00:10:16
account. So the various projects that you see on the screen are projects that were started in the prior fiscal year that were not 00:10:23
