URA denies ADA County EMS withdrawal request, citing statutory eligibility and outstanding obligations
Summary
Legal counsel told the board that the ADA County EMS District does not meet statutory criteria to withdraw from the urban renewal district because outstanding obligations exceed the increment attributable to that district; the board voted to deny the request.
Legal counsel reviewed the statutory test for a district to withdraw from the urban renewal district and told the board their review found ADA County EMS does not meet the eligibility requirements because outstanding contractual obligations exceed the tax increment attributable to that district. "Our review is that they do not meet those eligibility requirements," counsel said, recommending denial.
The board voted to deny the ADA County EMS withdrawal request and directed staff to send the draft denial letter (with a minor date correction flagged by a commissioner). Counsel noted the same legal questions are the subject of ongoing declaratory-action litigation scheduled for the fall, and the agency preserved its position in the record.
