Goodland manager to explore RHID options with county and school board; suggests 10‑year cap for first project
Summary
City Manager Kent told commissioners he will talk to the county commission and school board about creating an RHID district, suggested limiting RHID tax relief to about 10 years for the first project, and recommended beginning with lots on the north side with existing street frontage to reduce infrastructure costs.
City Manager Kent briefed the commission on follow‑up work related to a proposed RHID district and asked permission to discuss the concept with the county commission and school board. Kent said he had gathered pointers from other communities and suggested the city should consider a 10‑year cap on tax relief for the first RHID project to limit the burden of unpaid property taxes required to pay infrastructure costs.
Kent also suggested prioritizing two lots on the north side of town where street frontage already exists to reduce initial infrastructure costs and make the first project more feasible. He said staff would gather additional information and return to the commission at a future meeting with partners and options for the RHID structure.
No formal direction beyond permission to meet with county and school board was recorded.
