Committee recommends TID No. 6 project plan hearing and discusses remote meetings for joint review board
Summary
Committee recommended setting a public hearing for a Tax Increment District (TID No. 6) project plan (project plan amount stated as $18,000; consultant name unclear in transcript) and discussed allowing the TID joint review board to hold remote meetings consistent with the city's virtual-meeting ordinance.
Clerk (Speaker 1) recommended that the Common Council approve an agreement to prepare a project plan for Tax Increment District No. 6 in the amount of $18,000 and that a joint public hearing be set for June 1, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. The transcript does not clearly identify the consultant or firm name; the item was presented as a recommendation to the Common Council.
Speaker 1 explained that joint review board meetings are often conducted electronically to accommodate schedules of the school district, technical college and other participants, and emphasized that virtual meetings must comply with the city's ordinance on virtual meetings, including public notice and agenda posting so the public can log in and view the meetings. A point of order about whether a second was required was raised during the procedural discussion. Clerk noted that ongoing reviews of the district’s finances would be part of the board’s duties if the TID is approved.
The committee recorded motions and procedural agreement to forward the project-plan recommendation and hearing request to the Common Council; the transcript does not include a separate detailed vote on remote-meeting policy beyond the discussion that virtual meetings would need to follow the city's ordinance.
