Council Minutes of 09-04-12 ,,,,~, The Finance Committee met Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. Present were committee members Barker, Schumann & Kearney; Council President Limpert; Council members Brossard, Mahoney, Orlowski and Williamson; Law Director Gareau and Planning/Development Director Wenger. • Discussed was Ordinance 2012-72 which is an Ordinance declaring improvements to certain parcels of real property to be a public purpose, describing the public improvements to be made to directly benefit such parcels, requiring the owners of the improvements on such parcels to make service payments in lieu of taxes, and establishing a municipal public improvement tax increment equivalent fund for the deposit of such service payments, all pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Sections 5709.40, 5709.42 and 5709.43, and declaring an emergency. This legislation is an economic development tool using real property tax dollars. This will take tax evaluation improvements, and additional tax will stay with the city as service payments for future improvements. The North Olmsted School System and Polaris will get their deserved funding from the increased tax, but the city receives the rest. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance 2012-72.
