Edgerton authorizes up to $1.35 million in TIF/CID bonds to reimburse Homestead Lane improvements
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance No. 2163 authorizing Special Obligation Tax Increment and CID Revenue Bonds (maximum $1,350,000) to reimburse the city for Homestead Lane public improvements; bonds are payable from tax increment and CID sales tax, not from city general fund. Council discussed moving maturity earlier than 2034.
The Edgerton City Council voted 4-0 on July 25 to approve Ordinance No. 2163, authorizing the issuance of Special Obligation Tax Increment and Community Improvement District (CID) Revenue Bonds in a maximum principal amount of $1,350,000 to reimburse the city for public infrastructure work on Homestead Lane, including the new intersection at 200th Street.
Scott Anderson, speaking on the ordinance, said the city financed a significant portion of the work originally with General Obligation Temporary Notes that mature Sept. 1, 2024, and the proposed bonds will provide reimbursement of those costs. Anderson emphasized the bonds are payable solely from tax increment and CID sales tax revenues and are not general-obligation debt of the city: "The bonds are payable solely from the tax increment and CID sales tax. The bonds are not a general obligation of the City and are not payable from general tax revenues," he said.
Councilmembers and staff discussed possible maturity changes; Mayor Roberts and Anderson agreed to seek a shorter final maturity date if market conditions allow so that revenues could become available sooner for additional projects in the corridor. The ordinance authorizes bond documents, approves the official statement and delegates signatory authority to city officials to complete the issuance. The ordinance passed 4-0.
