Redevelopment Commission approves amended resolution for Sheffield Calumet TIF after new TIF statutes take effect

The Redevelopment Commission approved Resolution 2026-05 on July 2, 2026, amending the declaratory resolution for the Sheffield Calumet economic development area to incorporate revisions in recently amended tax increment financing (TIF) statutes that took effect the day before the meeting.

Shannon, speaking during the special meeting, said: "The reason for the special meeting today is that the new amended TIF statutes went into effect yesterday, that extend the, term which we can capture those, TIF allocations." The commission’s action updated its declaratory resolution to reflect those statutory changes so the commission can continue to capture TIF allocations under the revised timeline.

Before the resolution vote the commission also held a public hearing on the establishment of a residential TIF district. Chair called for public comment three times and—hearing none—closed the hearing without public testimony.

A motion to adopt Resolution 2026-05 was made and seconded; the resolution passed on a roll-call vote with the following responses recorded by the clerk: Mary Kate—Aye; Annette—Aye; Bob—Aye; Mary—Aye; Jenna—Aye. The meeting also approved the consent agenda, including minutes from the June 18, 2026 meeting, by unanimous roll call.

With no old or new business raised, the commission moved to adjourn and ended the special meeting.

The resolution was described in the meeting as an amendment to the commission’s declaratory resolution for the Sheffield Calumet economic development area; the transcript did not specify the ordinance text beyond the resolution number, and no public comments or objections were recorded during the hearing.
