New Business Agenda Item:A Park Road 22 Bridge Presenter: E.Jay Ellington Libby Edwards J.J.Hart The Interim Assistant City Manager E.Jay Ellington presented the background of funding for the Park Road 22 Bridge. This project is moving forward as either a public bid or as an approved development agreement pursuant to action by City Council. The current schedule for this project is to be finalized and approved by the City Council within the next 6 to 8 weeks. The development agreement is almost finished and the City hopes to have it signed by the developer within the next 2 weeks. J. J. Hart gave a brief overview of what the TIF/TIRZ42 represents historically to the island and how this project could yield higher returns via development. The ISAC TIRZ 42 Subcommittee will revisit the uncompleted"6 Pack"projects and discuss the extensions of the TIRZ 42 pending its expiration in 2022. The subcommittee believes that the Park Road 22 Bridge project is in the spirit of the TIRZ 42. The Subcommittee reviewed the current TIRZ 42 fund balance and used a conservative 5%growth forecast to establish the viability of the TIRZ 42 fund when considering the required reserves in addition to funding the Park Road 22 Bridge. The committee feels that if development projects are not completed on the island the TIRZ 42 fund will not see growth. The committee passed a motion to Support the use of no more than 4 million dollars from TIRZ 42 funding to supplement the development of the park road after all other committed monies have been used. *AARON HUFFMAN RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THIS VOTE Action: Support the use of no more than 4 Million dollars from TIRZ 42 to supplement funding for the Park Road 22 bridge after all committed funds are spent.
