I have attached two different document types hoping one is more accessible if the other is not. It is a proposal for a reconvening of legislature to re allocate budget cuts more decisively because of the impact it is having on our community and the state of Montana. I have a three min presentation on a note card set up. Thank you! Thank you for your time. ~Crystal Miller

Good morning, Crystal,
There is always an opportunity for a member of the public to make public comment (limited to three minutes) during the “public comment on non-agenda items” toward the beginning of Council meetings.
I could also certainly forward your comments to all the Council members via email, as well, if you’d like me to do that.
Let me know more about the details, and I’ll see how I can help,
Best, Bryan

From: John DiBari
Here are my initial thoughts on the request to include the fairgrounds in URD III…
Given the situation this is an understandable and predictable request. After all, there is no downside in asking.
However, the request misses the point of tax increment financing and the fiduciary responsibility council has to city taxpayers.
Tax increment financing only works when tax increment associated with increased taxable value, generated by largely private investment in the district, can be reinvested into the district during the life of the URD, and then contributed to the overall city tax base after the URD expires.
Because the county pays no taxes, the flow of TIF money to the county for the fairgrounds will only be one way. No money will ever flow back to the URD from the county to be used for additional investment or to ultimately contribute to the city tax base.
One can make the argument that there are spin-off benefits of using TIF money to improve infrastructure and other things around the fairgrounds, and that this investment could serve to reinvigorate the neighborhood, as it were, spurring additional investment. This is a fair argument. It is similar to the one made to fund the bike-pedestrian bridge across Reserve Street, for example.
However, unlike projects like the bike-ped bridge, the city council has no supervisory authority over anything that happens with fairgrounds development or operation. In this regard, council should take pause when being asked to give TIF money generated primarily by private investment in URD III to an entity and project over which it has no control.
Also, the request presents issues of fairness. If taxpayers are going to be asked to contribute to development and operation of the fairgrounds, then ALL county taxpayers should be making a contribution. TIF money only comes from investment in the URD, and therefore constrains the opportunity for further investment in the URD and, therefore, ultimately the city tax base. This is a burden that is shouldered by the URD and city.
So, the points in the request letter regarding trepidation and parameters are certainly true.
I am not blind to the potential benefits of including the fairgrounds in URD III, and potentially providing some limited and constrained TIF money for infrastructure around the fairgrounds. How much and for what will certainly have bearing. However, at this point, I would be more likely to support this request if the county would agree to:
· Payment in lieu of taxes or some meaningful revenue sharing arrangement now and continuing for some meaningful period of time after the URD expires,
· Adherence to city ordinances for development at and operation of the fairgrounds, and · Development and operation of the fairgrounds that is sensitive to its context in the community and city sustainability efforts.
I'm sure others will have ideas about how this might work too. In that regard, in the appropriate venue (I can hear Marilyn admonishing a lengthy email conversation), I look forward to hearing what others are thinking.
