Council continues TIF spending-plan and Aspen Fields land-use items to upcoming meetings
Summary
The council continued a proposed amendment to the Downtown Brockway tax-increment financing spending plan to Aug. 19 and continued an Aspen Fields comprehensive land-use amendment, rezoning and plat request to Aug. 4 because of quorum and Port Authority scheduling issues.
City staff asked the Rosemount City Council to continue two items: an amendment to the Downtown Brockway tax-increment financing (TIF) spending plan and a comprehensive land-use amendment, rezoning and plat request for Aspen Fields.
Community Development Director Kingburger said a recent state-law change approved in a special legislative session gives cities added flexibility for TIF spending plans; staff requested that the Port Authority first discuss updates and that the council continue the public hearing to Aug. 19 so the Port Authority could meet on Aug. 19 and forward a recommendation.
Separately, Kingburger said that state statute requires a supermajority vote (four-fifths) for a comprehensive land-use plan amendment. With only three council members present at the meeting, staff recommended continuing the Aspen Fields item to the council’s regular meeting on Aug. 4 so a supermajority would be possible.
The council voted, by roll call, to open and immediately continue the TIF public hearing to Aug. 19 (motion by Councilmember Tyson; second by Councilmember Freske) and to continue the Aspen Fields land-use item to Aug. 4 (motion by Councilmember Freske; second by Councilmember Tyson). No substantive decisions on either item were made at the meeting; both were continued to allow for required internal review and quorum requirements.
