Maxwell Farm, an agricultural property located in the Wellington Community Separator, was purchased in February 2009 by the Natural Areas Program (NAP). The intent of the purchase was to conserve the agricultural value and limit development within the Separator, and not to develop as a traditional Natural Area property. As such, the intent of the NAP is to sell the property with a conservation easement in place. However, to date, the NAP has not been successful in locating a buyer. At the time of purchase, the previous owner reserved a right of entry on the property to produce and sell crops and agricultural products for a period of two years. That right will expire in February 2011. The proposed lease would extend the previous owner's use of the property for agricultural production until the NAP is able to sell the property. Lease rates are based on the fair market value and would be adjusted on an annual basis. 13.

At the December 21,2010 City Council meeting,Council considered on Second Reading,Ordinance No. 125, 2010 amending the City Code to increase the amounts of Capital Improvement Expansion Fees to reflect changes in inflation. At that time, City Council had questions about how this action related to Resolution 2006-113,which provides a process for implementing City fee increases. City Council deferred taking action on Second Reading and requested that information be brought back regarding the scope of Resolution 2006-113. After that information was provided, Council adopted Ordinance No. 125, 2010, on January 4, 2011. Because there is some remaining uncertainty concerning the intended scope of Resolution 2006-113,this Resolution stays application of Resolution 2006-113 until Council and City staff can revisit the fee review process.

(staff: John Voss, Matt Robenalt; 3 minute staff presentation; 5 minute discussion) In 2008, Council approved a twenty-year extension of the period during which a portion of property taxes may be allocated to and, when collected, paid into the Downtown Development Authority's (DDA) Tax Increment Fund. According to state statute, Council, as ex officio the Board of Directors of General Improvement District No. 1 (GID No. 1), ,may authorize more than fifty percent (50%) of property taxes levied by General Improvement District No. 1, to be allocated in accordance with the DDA statute and to be paid into the DDA Tax Increment Fund. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 1, 2011, allocates 100% of the tax increment revenue from the GID No. 1 to the DDA, for the purpose of making certain capital improvements, capital projects and development projects within the downtown area. For tax year 2011 through tax year 2030, this would amount to approximately $1.3 million dollars in property tax increment revenue to the DDA from the GID. The GID fund is projected to have sufficient revenue to meet project payments and goals for this time period. There is no negative impact to the existing GID property tax revenue stream. There is the.gain to the GID with the advancement of the base. The GID has been allocating 100% of the increment to the DDA since 1981. This Ordinance continues this practice. 4. Other Business. 5.
