Commission moves to disburse $400,000 to eligible schools under Resolution 2022 R10; parochial exclusion would require future change
Summary
The Commission approved disbursement of $400,000 in TIF funds to eligible schools under Resolution 2022 R10, based on average daily attendance counts; discussion flagged that excluding Providence and Saint Anthony would require amending the program at renewal.
Staff presented the Commission with a distribution plan for $400,000 in tax increment funds for school assistance under Resolution 2022 R10, summarizing each eligible school’s reported average daily attendance and the calculated distribution amounts. "The staff recommends that the Commission approved the school assistant disbursement and authorized staff to make the respective payments," the presenter said.
Commissioners asked questions about how student counts were verified and whether parochial schools (Providence and Saint Anthony) could be removed from the current disbursement. A motion was proposed to remove Providence and Saint Anthony and limit disbursement to public schools, but staff explained the resolution and current contract governing the program mean such a change cannot be applied to this disbursement cycle; any change would need to be made before the program renewal and next count date. The transcript records the Commission approving the disbursement under the existing resolution; the program was created by "Resolution 2022 R10."
