The Hamilton County Redevelopment Commission convened on June 13, 2025, at 9:00 AM, with all members present except for Mark Hall. The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the attendance of Dan Stevens, David Bertner, Brad Bieber, and Steve Dillinger.
The first item on the agenda was the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting held on April 3. The minutes were unanimously approved following a motion and a voice vote.
Next, the commission discussed Resolution 6 13 25 0 1, which is a requirement under Indiana code for the county's redevelopment commission to adopt a resolution and file a report regarding tax increment financing (TIF) for the upcoming calendar year. Commissioner Connor explained that the resolution pertains to a pass-through of 20% of tax increment collected for the Westfield Village Park allocation area. This arrangement is part of an interlocal agreement established years ago between the Hamilton County Redevelopment Commission and the City of Westfield.
Oscar Gutierrez, a municipal advisor to the commission, emphasized the importance of passing the resolution today, as it is the last day for submission to the auditor for filing with the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF). He noted that this pass-through has been a standard practice since the inception of the agreement.
The discussion also touched on the historical context of the TIF, with references to its origins around 29 years ago and the necessity of agreements with the City of Westfield for any extensions or modifications to the TIF.
The commission moved to approve the resolution, ensuring compliance with the established timeline and maintaining the financial obligations associated with the Westfield Village Park allocation area.
In conclusion, the meeting proceeded smoothly with the approval of the minutes and the resolution, reaffirming the commission's commitment to its financial responsibilities and interlocal agreements. The next steps involve filing the necessary documentation with the DLGF to ensure continued compliance with state regulations.
