Mr. Zimmerman read the following report from the Finance Committee. 

Finance Committee

On December 8, 2004, the Finance Committee met to discuss the subject of the TIF and the Fallen Timbers/Lifestyle Center development.  Present from the finance committee were Todd Zimmerman, Jenny Barlos (who did not vote or participate due to a conflict) and Brent Buehrer.  Also present were Mayor Wagener, John Jezak, Dave Hazard, Linda Wilker and other members of the administration and council.  Steve Grassbaugh was in attendance as the City’s bond counsel.  Also present were representatives from General Growth and the Isaac Group.  Finally, there were additional members of the public and press.  The meeting had been scheduled well in advance and announced at the prior two council meetings.

      Steve Grassbaugh re-explained for all present how a TIF works and the benefits and/or risks associated with such a project.  It was explained that while there is a minimal risk of the project being affected by something such as a natural disaster, most risks inherent in the project would be protected against by a bond or insurance.  In turn, if the TIF proceeds as scheduled both the city and the developer will benefit by recapturing some of the increased tax proceeds that would otherwise be distributed in other areas of Lucas County.  Further, the Anthony Wayne school system would benefit in that they would receive a payment in lieu of taxes (“PILOT”) that they might not receive should the TIF not proceed forward and in turn no project be built.  Additionally, the PILOT would benefit the schools because the amount received is not figured into the school funding formula and thus the additional payments would not be reduced from the amount of funding provided by the state to Anthony Wayne.

      Mr. Grassbuagh answered a significant number of questions from the committee explaining in further detail the risks, benefits and implications of a TIF on both Maumee and surrounding governmental entities.  The meeting was then opened to comments from anyone (public included) and no one chose to speak.  Mr. Jezak did speak in favor of the TIF on behalf of the administration and asked that the committee both endorse the TIF as proposed and recommend that the appropriate notices be sent to the parties involved.

      It was thus the unanimous recommendation of those members of the committee permitted to vote on the issue (which includes Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Buehrer) that:  1.  The TIF be endorsed by City Council to proceed forward as proposed.  2.  The administration be permitted to send out the appropriate notices necessary to proceed with the TIF.

Respectfully submitted,

Todd M. Zimmerman, Chair

Mr. Zimmerman read the following report from the Finance Committee. 

Finance Committee

      On November 23, 2004, the Finance and Safety Committees had a joint meeting to discuss the subject of the proposed fire and police training facility.  Present from the finance committee were Todd Zimmerman, Jenny Barlos and Brent Buehrer.  Also present were Mayor Wagener, John Jezak, Dave Hazard, Linda Wilker and other members of the administration and council.  This report is intended to address only the finance committee’s position on the fire portion of the proposed training facility.

      Very little discussion was had regarding the fire portion of the proposed training facility as it appeared that from prior investigation and meetings, the members of the finance committee were satisfied that the fire portion was needed and would help properly train our fire personnel and in turn, allow the city to strive toward maintaining a volunteer fire department.  It was agreed that it would be a risk to take our engines, personnel and equipment out of the city to train, thereby potentially leaving the city exposed.

      It was the committee’s unanimous recommendation to proceed with the fire portion of the proposed training facility.  Specifically, that is the portion of the proposed training facility west of the train tracks that traverse the property.  The police portion of the training facility shall remain in committee and will be reported out on at a future time.

Respectfully submitted,

Todd M. Zimmerman, Chair
