Re: Tiffin Urban Renewal Area Amendment/Consultation Session
Our File Number: 436989-17
Dear Doug:
The Iowa Urban Renewal Law requires that a city provide information concerning a
proposed urban renewal plan amendment to certain other governmental bodies which might be
affected by the use of tax increment financing within your amended urban renewal area.
Specifically, the City must send a copy of the urban renewal plan amendment and an invitation
to attend a meeting to discuss the urban renewal plan amendment to any county and school
district whose jurisdiction covers any property to be included within the amended urban renewal
area. This consultation must be held at least two weeks before the public hearing on July 18,
2017.
It is our understanding that the property within your amended urban renewal area would
affect Johnson County and the Clear Creek Amana Community School District.
Attached is a draft letter which you may use in order to provide notification to these
governmental entities of the date, time and place of a meeting at which they may discuss your
urban renewal plan amendment. The law does not require that this be a meeting of the City
Council, and you may use your discretion about who represents the City at the meeting.
Along with the letter, you should send a copy of the urban renewal plan amendment and a
copy of the notice of the public hearing on the urban renewal plan amendment.

Re: Tiffin Urban Renewal Area/Urban Renewal Plan Amendment
A public hearing will be held by the City Council on July 18, 2017 on a proposed
amendment to the urban renewal plan for the Tiffin Urban Renewal Area to add the property
legally described in the proposed amendment and to approve a new urban renewal project. I
have prepared this memorandum to assist the Commission in performing its role in this process.

City Council must submit a copy of the
the City. The statute does not require that the Commission hold a hearing on the proposed plan
amendment, nor does it require that the Commission take any action to either approve or reject
the proposed plan amendment. It directs that the Commission review the plan amendment and
comment to the City Council as to whether the plan amendment conforms to, or is consistent

the City Council by Noon on July 18, 2017.
Please call Amy Bjork or me at (515) 283-1000 if you have questions about the statutory
process.

$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
