PRESENTATIONS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT (TIF)
Tom Barnett, Planning Director, explained what TIF is and how the County could
participate. The City is looking to implement this action in January 2006. Taxes would
not be raised in this district. Boundaries are set in an area and as development increases
tax revenues increase. These additional taxes can be set-aside in an account and be re-
invested in projects in the district as they happen. The City is recommending a time frame
of 20 years.
Fiscal Court requested more information and would like to have another workshop with the
City to discuss before taking action to proceed.
REBANDING 800 MHz RADIO SYSTEM
Greg Mueller, Information Systems Director, reported that the FCC has auctioned a
portion of the electronic -magnetic spectrum for cell phone use which will require that
some public safety 800 MHz radio systems that use the auctioned part of the spectrum be -
rebanded. The City Manager and the County Administrator set up a task force of Kent
King, Jamey Spears and Mr. Mueller to oversee the rebanding project of City and County
radios.
This change can be very expensive if all of an agency's 800 MHz radio have to be
replaced. The FCC has mandated that Nextel, the firm that won the bid for the section of
spectrum, pay these costs. This process will be very complicated and the City and County
may need legal representation. Mr. Mueller requested the City retain the services of a law
firm that specializes in 800 MHz rebanding. Steve Doolittle, County Administrator, stated
that in a discussion between him and the City Manager should legal costs arise which are
not covered by Nextel then the City and County will split the cost.
