for the "Downtown Eagle Subarea Plan." The plan includes text changes and changes to the
Future Land Use Map for +/- 340 acres from Central Business District, Residential Four (four (4)
units per acre), Mixed Use, and Commercial to "Downtown." The +/-340-acre subarea is
generally located north of the State Highway 44 Bypass, south of the Dry Creek Canal, west of
Edgewood Lane, and east of Taylor Street. The changes are more specifically described in the
application on file at the City of Eagle or on the City's website at www.citvofeagle.org.This
item was continuedjrom the October 26,2010 meeting. The public testimony will additionally
be taken at the November 16th and 23rd, 2010 meetings.
Mayor Reynolds introduces the issue.
General discussion on the procedure for the Public Hearing; the timer will be used.
Planner Baird-Spencer: the Council will continue to take written testimony as long as the Public
Hearing is open. Provides an overview and states that all of the information is located on the
City's website. Presents a Power Point Presentation and discusses the same.
Mayor opens the Public Hearing
Sheila Martin, 267 N. I sl Street, Ijust want to know how it impacts my land and my property. I
want to say that none of my neighbors received the mailers from City Hall. I will take a
clipboard around and have my neighbors sign, write their address and date. I went to an Urban
Renewal Agency and they have a great impact on the Downtown Plan. Requests another
meeting.
Ken Martin, 267 N. 1st Street, I reiterate the same. People need to have the information. I don't
believe this mailer got to anyone.
Terry Sayer, 2151 W. Forest Hill Ct., I wanted to compliment the staff and the Council. We have
never been abused by staff or the council. Every time I have come to City Hall the staff has been
very cordial and I have been treated well by everyone.
Steve Guerber, I am a property owner in Eagle and I have paid a lot of attention over the last two
years even though I have lived somewhere else. Discusses the comprehensive planning that the
City of Fargo, North Dakota has done for their town. One reason they did this was that the City
actually accepted the vision that was put together through a tremendous amount of work by the
people and endorsed it and were supportive of seeing their downtown prosper and grow. I know
from past experience that I have had in City government that you cannot guarantee that every
single person gets personally contacted and drug kicking and screaming into the public process.
As I look at the information presented you must not be paying very much attention through
television, radio, newspapers, billboards, flyers, sandwich signs and numerous public hearing
have taken place during this process that you can actually say that you don't know what is going
on or that you weren't involved in the process or had the opportunity. There are those who are
going to tell you that. But in a City of this size you have to ask yourselves do one or two people
making these claims really speak to what the masses are feeling or have they just missed all of
their chances. I think the City should and endorse this and move forward without additional.
delays.

Scott Nordstrom: The concept started back in 2004 and the Chamber was the driver of the
process in the beginning. There was a tremendous growth process and it became apparent that
we need a downtown plan. This has been going on for a long time and I am so pleased that we
have this in the public area so we can come to a final directions. I want to salute the staff. This
is an excellent plan that we can use as a guide to take us forward. I serve on the Urban Renewal
Agency and it has been hard for us because of the lack of a comprehensive plan. I am for this; it
is well thought out and provides a direction to move us forward.
Patricia Minkiewicz, I live in the area of impact and I agree with Mr. Nordstrom. It looks good
to me. I do discourage on street parking. Thanks to the City for doing such a great job.
Ron Marshall, I would reinforce what Scott Nordstrom said. I worked on this when I was on the
very first Design Review. I resisted the height restrictions. This is a plan that I think you can
deal with and encourage you to adopt this plan. We worked hard on this plan for many years. I
read this in the Valley Times and the Idaho Statesman, there has been very good coverage. I
have a post office box so I got two notices. Downtown urban renewal is always a struggle.
The Public Hearing will remain open for November 16th and November 23rd.
B. City Hall Location: The Eagle City Council will hold a public hearing on November 9,
2010 at which public testimony is encouraged regarding the future location of city hall services.

report and recommendations during the meeting and remain available throughout the hearing to
answer questions.

Jeff Kunz and Eric Jacky, Co-Chairman of the City Hall Task Force.
Eric Jacky provides an overview and purpose ofthe City Hall Task Force.
Jeff Kunz provides a high level summary of the data and simplifies the data so we can all make
sense of it. Discusses the data and recommendations of the City Hall Task Force. General
discussion.
Melissa Broadt, Eagle Arts Commission, discusses the Eagle Country Christmas which will be
held Saturday, December 11 tho There will also be a craft fair at Camille Beckman and we are
going to have a trolley. There will be pictures with Santa and groups that will perform in the
Gazebo.
Ron Marshall, I have lived in this town almost all of life and I have had lots to do with this town
since 1976. I originally supported the bond issue for a combination of the Library and City Hall.
The second time around we had disgruntled people. I think it would be a crime to let this
building go. We earned this building. Discussion on the parks that we worked hard for. It is
really hard to get a City Hall bond passed. We have the perfect time right now to do this. I'm
against moving the Museum. We have a nice Museum and it should be in a larger facility but not
up here. I don't know much about the relocation of the Sheriff. Discusses the parking
downtown. We need a bigger museum to remember the past. We have a real nice museum.
Don't let this building get away.
Council discussion on the Task Force recommendations.
General discussion on the purchase of the City Hall building.
Cindy Compton, I am a new resident. I would just like to say that I love this City Hall. It is close
to the Library and Post Office and it is downtown. I understand that Eagle has the second lowest
property taxes in the State of Idaho. Personally I would be happy to pay for a bond to fund the
City Hall.

K\COUNCILIMINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-II-09-IOmin.doc
Scott Nordstrom, I think it is really important that some takes hold of this as their main mission
on behalf of the City. This is at a critical juncture. I think a negotiator is a key to your success.
I know Hawkins Smith that I was around when be built the building. I was around for three bond
elections for City Hall that didn't pass. I would like to see the bond election pass. This is where
the City belongs.
General discussion on the City being able to advocate for a City Hall bond election.

Subject: Downtown Plan Postcard
Mayor and City Council,
At your direction, the post card below was sent to all property owners of record in the Downtown Eagle Sub -area (602
addresses in total). The postcard notified them that their property was within the planning area, where to find a copy of
the draft plan, and when the Council would be taking testimony on the draft plan. The postcard went out on Saturday,
October 30, 2010. The total cost of the project was $ 737.97 with the hard costs (printing and copying) totaling $310.37
(complete cost breakdown below).
Since the approved FY10-11 Planning and Zoning Budget does not include funds for "printing, duplicating, or postage",
the project was funded out of the general fund line item of "printing, duplicating, and publishing". This line item
included a total of $200.00 that has now been spent and item will be carried forward with an over run of $110.37.

Subject: RE: Public hearing notice
Cl/6C
Thanks, I hated what the family from First street did to Eagle last Tuesday, although I agree that they have a right to
express their opinions. I wonder if they care what costs they are adding to our very tiny budget. My comments apply to
the Downtown plan as well as the City Hall Task force, of which I was a member.
For the record, I have been involved in various volunteer functions with the City since we moved here. The City Council,
both as a group and as individuals have always been welcoming. The other committees also have welcomed me and I
have never felt rebuffed by any group. I would have rebutted the couple on some of those points, but I could not wait
that long Tuesday night. I will stand and be heard at the meeting on the 9th, and I will make it short so that others can
make a statement.
Anyone who is interested in Eagle happenings can get information if they want it. They just have to read a newspaper,
watch the news or go on line. I make it a point to forward important information to my neighbors, friends and relatives.
The Downtown Plan could not have been more publicized, and it has been going on for years. In addition, I did not
interpret the downtown plan to be a slash and burn document. First Street appears to be a mixed-use neighborhood in
the plan. The folks from First Street seem to want it both ways, no commercial use except for their neighbor and maybe
them if they wish to teach piano. The document is a plan, for the future, and addresses the city's future. The plan is not
cast in concrete nor is it going to happen tomorrow.
I too, came from California, and I love what is happening here. it is too bad the economy changed pace, but I think the
City Council is proceeding properly with current conditions. It also seems to me that since building is slow, this is the
correct time to plan. Then, when the economy turns, we will be ready for it.
Please share this with the Council and the new Mayor, and pass on my congratulation to him and my appreciation for a
job well done by Acting Mayor Huffaker. I know it will not be withheld from them.
Thank you,
Terry Sayer

Came into City Hall asking questions about the transitional area. General support of the plan and the need
to be ready for when the economy turns around, had been par tof the previous out reaches, likes the
pedestrain friendly policies
Parcel is currently com planned MU and has concerns about the change to downtown and beinginthe
transitional/general area. Wants to keep flexibility to have office and retail on site with higher density
residential since they are on the Hill Road realingment. Concern that the conceptual plan shows the
property as high density 13+ units per acre but the transition area show up to 8 units per acre with limited
office and retail. Willr ead the plan in detail and provide written/verbal testimony at the hearing.
Follow up to discussionon 11/2/2010. questions about diffrence between the conseptual plan and the
actual land uses. Expressed desire to see a better clarification of 1st street- either include 4-8 units per acre
of residential onto the land us matrix ( see page 11) or consider including the lots that face 1st street int he
Transitonal area and not the Old Towne.
Questions about the plan, clarificationof the land use changes. Happy with the changes overall And feels it
is a good expansion to include the area intot he Downtown area. Reconginzes that the existing
manufactured home park is a non -conforming use today and will continue on that way under the plan

Eagle Urban Renewal Agency: A Community -Centered Effort
By Cameron Arial
EURA Chairman
Many of you have heard about the Eagle Urban Renewal Agency (EURA) and
have wondered what it's all about? The purpose of this monthly article is to provide the
citizens of Eagle fundamentals of how urban renewal works and a play-by-play of efforts
of the EURA. To begin, how does urban renewal and revenue allocation finance work?
Below is a simple illustration of how the revenue allocation works.

Within the Urban Renewal Area (URA) the tax value of the properties is capped
when the urban renewal plan is adopted. As the taxable value of the properties within the
URA increases above the cap that increment goes to the urban renewal agency in order to
fund public redevelopment projects within the URA. Though funds accumulate slowly at
first, urban renewal agencies rapidly pool money over time that enables them to fund
capital projects. Often agencies will issue low interest tax-exempt bonds against their
future revenues to fund projects sooner. This enables the agency to leverage its future
cash flows and effectively speed up the process of redevelopment and increase the
taxable value of the URA.
The genius of Urban Renewal policy comes from the fact that funding originates
in the district where improvements are to be made. This creates a powerful cycle of
increasing taxable value, which in turn draws more quality economic activity; all being
executed through sound growth design. This localization of resources has also led to
expanded commitments from the broad urban renewal policy community, which in turn
has lead to a variety of dynamic partnerships and cooperative politics.
k
I know of no other tax policy that directs tax revenues directly back to the tax
payers who paid the tax to begin with. Urban Renewal is literally an investment in the
community for the community. It is important to note here that urban renewal policy
does not result in a tax increase to the taxpayer. Revenue allocation financing allows tax
revenues generated by new development within an area to be used for urban renewal
projects. It does not increase property tax levy rates. In the long run, the effort is likely
to reduce property taxes by increasing the tax base. This means that the cost of quality
public services can be spread across a wealthier and broader citizenry.
Urban renewal and revenue allocation finance are valuable tools available to
Idaho communities for attracting and retaining quality business. These tools if used
correctly can produce new jobs, new capital investment and expanded local tax base. All
of these benefits result in a strong diversified local economy.
The major benefits of urban renewal include:
• Job creation from the initial project as well as potential "spill over" benefits.
• Deteriorated or deteriorating properties returned to productive use.
• Infrastructure upgrades enhance capacity for existing and future development.
• By increasing the local tax base property owners will enjoy lower tax levy rates
when the urban renewal area is dissolved.
With many Urban Renewal agencies in operation statewide and examples of
beneficial projects increasing, Urban renewal and revenue allocation finance policy has
proven to be very effective in stimulating redevelopment in areas that need a hand.
It is important to mention here a brief history of how the Eagle Urban Renewal
Agency (EURA) came about and the process of forming the Urban Renewal Plan. The
EURA was first inspired in 2006 when the City Council requested an evaluation of areas
potentially eligible for Urban Renewal designation. Through extensive analysis and
months of onsite visits, the Council found the East End area and the Downtown area met
the requirements in Idaho code to be designated as deteriorated or deteriorating areas.
In early 2007 and in full compliance with Idaho law, the City of Eagle formed the
Eagle Urban Renewal Agency (EURA) and appointed the board of directors. The nine
member EURA Board are all unpaid citizen volunteers and bring extensive expertise in
the legal, development, engineering, architecture, financial and design fields. It is
wonderful working with such knowledgeable individuals and to witness their dedication
to the future of Eagle.
Later in February of 2007, the Eagle URA Board, with the assistance of expert
consultants, began pulling together necessary elements for the urban renewal plan for the
East End and Downtown areas. The intent of the plan was to define specific areas in
which the Urban Renewal Agency could employ specific actions to stimulate growth.
These actions include the following:
(a) the elimination of environmental deficiencies in the Project Area,
including, among others, obsolete and aged building types, and inadequate public
improvements and facilities, and environmental remediation;
(b) the assembly of land into parcels suitable for modern, integrated
development with appropriate setbacks, parking, pedestrian, and vehicular circulation in
the Project Area;
(c) the replanning, redesign, and development of undeveloped and
underdeveloped areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized;
(d) the strengthening of the economic base of the Project Area and the
community by the installation of needed public improvements, infrastructure and
facilities to stimulate new commercial expansion, employment, and economic growth;
(e) the establishment and implementation of performance criteria to assure
design standards and environmental quality and other design elements which provide
unity and integrity to the entire Project Area;
(fj the strengthening of the tax base by encouraging private development,
thus increasing the assessed valuation of properties within the Revenue Allocation Area
and the Project Area as a whole, and benefiting the various taxing districts in which the
Project Area is located;
(g) the creating of public spaces, gateway entries, public art, and the like;
(h) the provision of civic buildings or community facilities owned or occupied
by other public entities including the City of Eagle;
(i) the provision of adequate land for open space and street rights-of-way;
(j) the construction and improvement of major street corridors to allow traffic
flows to move through the development along with the accompanying utility connections
through the Project Area; and
(k) fund the necessary public infrastructure to accommodate both public and
private development.
After a comprehensive review, the EURA Board and its consultants identified the
East End and portions of Downtown Eagle as areas appropriate for Urban Renewal
District designation and drafted an Urban Renewal Plan to address these distinct areas.
In concert with the Eagle City Council the EURA has considered the City of
Eagle Downtown Vitalization Plan ("DTV Plan"). This DTV Plan details the project
background, including community planning efforts for revitalization with the
development of a Strategic Plan by the Community of Eagle Action Team, which
identified the highest priority, long-term infrastructure projects as "turning the downtown
corridor into a business district that reflects a village atmosphere, free of blight, and that
promotes small business retention and development." Formation of an Urban Renewal
District, was specifically identified as an implementation activity within the DTV Plan.
Appropriate and timely redevelopment in these areas of the community was
determined not to be possible without URA action. It is important to highlight that
without the EURA's assistance the community will not realize anticipated benefits to all
facets of the community related directly to increased property values and associated tax
revenues from these distinct areas included in the Urban Renewal Plan.
In recognition of benefits to the community, and after full compliance with all
notification procedures, the City of Eagle completed the URA formation process in
December 2007. The City Council passed the URA ordinance and approved the Eagle
Urban Renewal Plan.
Now in 2008 the EURA has been in positive negotiations with Joint School
District #2 to resolve a legal dispute surrounding the allocation of tax revenues away
from the School District. The EURA is optimistic a reasonable and mutually beneficial
negotiation can be reached in the near future.
The EURA in conjunction with the City of Eagle, the DTR Plan, Chamber of
Commerce, and others is currently working to identify projects of the highest and best
use to focus our efforts on in moving forward with revitalizing Downtown Eagle. As the
reader is well aware there are a number of areas were resources could be devoted, but
finding the one or two that are highly visible and most beneficial to the community is
difficult to decide on.
The public is always welcome at the EURA monthly meetings held the first
Wednesday of every month at 4:00 p.m. Also please visit the EURA website at
www.citvofeagle.com for all of the EURA meeting agendas, access to the urban renewal
plan, maps of the URA and other essential documents. Please feel free to contact me
directly at (208)344-9522 or Cameron.Arialezionsbank.com with any questions or
comments. Thank you for your interest in the future of our wonderful community.

Urban Renewal Bills in the 2010 Legislative Session
If opposition from all quarters is a sign of good legislation, then this year's urban renewal reform
bill might be the finest of the session, joked House Revenue & Taxation Committee Chairman
Rep. Dennis Lake (R -Blackfoot). Following hours of public testimony and committee
discussion, Lake's committee voted to hold House Bill 672 in committee, effectively ending the
push to enact urban renewal reform last session.
House Bill 672 was drafted by a working group including several legislators who also served as a
subcommittee to examine several bills dealing with urban renewal (listed at the end of this
section). The legislators included Rep. Lenore Hardy Barrett (R -Challis), Rep. Ken Roberts (R -
Donnelly), Rep. Gary Collins (R -Nampa), Rep. Phil Hart (R -Athol), Rep. George Sayler (D -
Coeur d'Alene) and Rep. James Ruchti (D -Pocatello).
ti
House Bill 672 drew fire from urban renewal proponents concerned that provisions allowing for
removal of urban renewal commissioners could breathe new life into the "alter ego" argument
that was forcefully rejected by the Idaho Supreme Court's recent ruling in Urban Renewal
Azencv of the City of Rexburs v. Hart. The argument is that an urban renewal agency is merely
an alter ego of the city to circumvent the requirement of Article VIII, Section 3 of the Idaho
Constitution that local government indebtedness must be approved by the voters. Other
provisions of the bill restricting amendment of plans and "shoestring" annexations were
criticized as potentially threatening to economic development efforts.
Urban renewal opponents criticized the bill as not going far enough in terms of improving
transparency and accountability, and minimizing financial impacts to counties, school districts
and other local jurisdictions.
A brief sununary of the major provisions of House Bill 672 are outlined below.
• Requiring appointment of a minimum number of qualified electors residing within the
area of operation to the urban renewal board, and limiting the number of local elected
officials who can serve on urban renewal agency (URA) boards. Terms of URA
commissioners would be shortened from five to three years.
• Requiring a financial disclosure statement to be filed with the Secretary of State's office
annually, disclosing any interests in real property within the urban renewal area by the
URA commissioner or their spouse.
• Providing for a financial report setting forth the URA's revenues and expenses to be
published once a year as a legal notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the
community.
77
• Requiring URAs to prepare and adopt an annual budget to be filed with the city.
• Requiring passage of resolutions or actions to enter into contracts or agreements, the
annual budget, and payment of bills to be by roll call vote of the URA board.
• Providing that revenue allocation funds in excess of the amount necessary for the URA to
fulfill the urban renewal plan will be distributed to the various taxing districts on a pro
rata basis.
• Extending the public comment period on proposed urban renewal plans from 30 to 45
days and requiring a hearing before the planning and zoning commission concerning the
proposed plan. The period for legal challenges would be extended from 30 to 45 days
after the effective date of an ordinance or resolution.
• Prohibiting expansion of revenue allocation areas, as well as expansion of the geographic
area and lifespan of an urban renewal area. Shoestring annexations would be prohibited.
Bare land could only be included with the owner's consent.
• The lifespan of urban renewal plans would be limited to 20 years, with grandfather
provisions for bonds already issued.
Other urban renewal bills considered by the 2010 Idaho Legislature are listed below.
House Bill 567: Sponsored by Rep. Dennis Lake (R -Blackfoot). The bill would have provided a
comprehensive statutory overhaul of the Idaho Urban Renewal Law and the Local Economic
Development Act. The bill would have separated deteriorating area projects from economic
development projects for newly formed urban renewal areas and amended plans, providing
guidance as to types of eligible projects under each. DIED in the House Revenue & Taxation
Committee.
House Bill 568: Sponsored by Rep. Raul Labrador (R -Eagle). The bill would have provided that
revenues in excess of funds necessary to service urban renewal agency (URA) bonds would be
distributed back to taxing districts within the URA's boundaries. HELD at the call of the chair in
the House Revenue & Taxation Subcommittee. AIC Opposed.
House Bill 569: Sponsored by Rep. Phil Hart (R -Athol). The bill would have provided for a 60 -
day public comment period prior to approval of an urban renewal plan or revenue allocation
area. The bill also would have extended the deadline for appeals from 30 to 90 days. HELD at
the call of the chair in the House Revenue & Taxation Subcommittee. AIC Opposed.

question. HELD at the call of the chair in the House Revenue & Taxation Subcommittee. AIC
Opposed.
House Bill 571: Sponsored by Rep. Phil Hart (R -Athol). The bill would have required
information concerning the base assessment roll and the total assessed value of the

Subcommittee. AIC Opposed.
House Bill 578: Sponsored by Rep. Phil Hart (R -Athol). The bill would have required
information concerning the base assessment roll and the total assessed value of the municipality
to be included in the revenue allocation plan. The bill also would have allowed any taxing
district within a revenue allocation area to opt out prior to the formation of the revenue allocation
area. HELD at the call of the chair in the House Revenue & Taxation Subcommittee. AIC
Opposed.
House Bill 583a: Sponsored by Rep. Max Black (R -Boise). The bill would have eliminated
responsibility on the part of Ada County Highway District for funding urban renewal projects
involving streets. The bill also would have mandated that city revenues from parking meters be
spent on maintaining landscaping within rights-of-way. House passed 53-16-1; DIED in the
Senate Local Government Committee. AIC Opposed.

Basics of Urban
Renewal Law
Presented by
Susan E. Buxton, City Attorney
November 9, 2010
The Idaho Urban Renewal Law of
1965 (Idaho Code §50-2001 et seq.)
• Grants cities and counties the authority to
create urban renewal agencies to improve
"deteriorated and deteriorating areas...which
constitute a serious and growing menace, -and
are] injurious to the public health, safety,
morals and welfare of the residents of the
state." Idaho Code §50-2002.
Deteriorated Area Defined
"Deteriorated Area" is "an area in which there is a
predominance of buildings or improvements, whether
residential or nonresidential, which by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence,
inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population
and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions
which endanger life or property by fire and other
causes, or any combination of such factors is
conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant
mortality, juvenile delinquency, or crime, and is
deterimental to the public health, safety, morals and
welfare." Idaho Code §50-2018(8).
Deteriorating Area Defined
• "An area which by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures,
predominance of defective or inadequate street layout, faulty
lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility or
usefulness, insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of
site or other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or
special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value of the
land, defective or unusual conditions of title, or the existence
of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other
causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of a municipality, retards
the provision of housing accommodations or constitutes an
economic or social liability and is a menace to the public
health, safety, morals or welfare in its present condition and
use...." Idaho Code §50-2018(9).
Working Program
• The urban renewal law allows a municipality
to create a program for utilizing private and
public resources to eliminate and prevent
slums and urban blight, "to encourage needed
urban rehabilitation, or to undertake such
aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal
activities as may be suitably employed to
achieve the objectives of such ... program."
Idaho Code §50-2004.
Urban Renewal Agencies (IJRA)
■ Finding of necessity by governing body
■ Adopted by resolution
■ Three necessary findings: (1) one or more
deteriorated or deteriorating areas; (2)
rehabilitation, conservation, redevelopment or
combination thereof is necessary in the interest of
the public health, safety, welfare or morals; and (3)
need for an urban renewal agency
■ Board of Commissioners operates URA
IJRA (Continued)
• Board of Commissioners appointed by mayor
with advice and consent of the Council
• Minimum of three and maximum of nine
members serving alternating terms of not more
than five years
• City Council may designate itself as board of
commissioners of URA by ordinance
• Subject to public records and open meeting
laws
Urban Renewal Plan
■ URA or any person or agency may create an urban
renewal plan
■ Plan is submitted by Council to Planning & Zoning
Commission for review as to conformity with general
plan for the development of the city as a whole
■ P&Z Commission has 30 days to review and submit
comments to Council
■ Council holds public hearing on proposed plan
■ Renewal plan may be prepared for up to ten years
Findings Necessary to Support
Urban Renewal Plan
■ A feasible method is available for the location of
families who will be displaced from the area.
■ The plan conforms to the general plan of the city.
■ The plan gives adequate consideration to the
provision of adequate park and recreational areas and
facilities that are desirable for neighborhood
improvement.
■ The plan will provide maximum opportunity for the
rehabilitation or redevelopment of the urban renewal
area by private enterprise.
Interests in Real Property
• URA may acquire interests in real property by
negotiation or condemnation.
• URA may "sell, lease or otherwise transfer real
property or any interest therein acquired by it
for an urban renewal project, and may enter
into contracts with respect thereto."
• Property held by URA exempt from taxes, levy
and sale by virtue of an execution
Financing the Project
■ Bonds
■ Deemed not to violate
any constitutional or
statutory debt limitation
provision
■ Authorized by resolution
or ordinance of the URA
Revenue allocation (i.e.
tax increment) financing
■ Authorized by Local
Economic Development
Act of 1988 (Idaho Code
§50-2901 et seq.)
■ Notice and hearing, and
adoption of ordinance
required when plan
proposed to include
revenue allocation
financing
Recent Cases
• Urban Renewal Agency of
the City of Rexburg v. Hart,
148 Idaho 299, 222 P.3d
467 (2009)
• URAs are not the "alter egos"
of cities
• The Act's grant of authority to
URAs to issue revenue
allocation bonds does not
violate Article III, §§ 3 and 4
of the Idaho Constitution
• Nampa Development
Corporation, the Urban
Renewal Agency of the City
of Nampa v. Alldredge,
Idaho Supreme Court
Docket No. 36333
• Includes "alter ego" argument
decided by Rexburg pending
oral argument
• Issue of whether 30 -day time
limit for challenging
ordinances containing a
revenue allocation provision
precludes a constitutional
challenge outside of the 30 -
day period
Revenue Allocation Financing
■ Plan must define revenue allocation area
■ Revenue allocation area is "that portion of an urban
renewal area...the equalized assessed valuation (as shown
by the taxable property assessment rolls) of which the [city]
has determined, [as part of the plan], is likely to increase as
a result of the initiation of an urban renewal project...."
Idaho Code §50-2903(13).
■ Base assessment roll of the revenue allocation area shall
not exceed 10% of the current assessed valuation of all
taxable property within the city
Revenue Allocation Financing
Explained
■ Allows taxing entity to divert a portion of funds
collected from property taxes without raising the rate
of the tax itself
■ Freezes the tax base, not the tax revenue
■ Taxes levied on increase in value allocated to URA without
affecting local taxing units
■ Avoids reliance on federal funds
■ Projects financed based on increase in value of the
property resulting from the redevelopment itself
Tax increment financing earmarks a portion of the property
taxes of a designated area for particular purpose.... The ad
valorem taxes levied on property within a designated
redevelopment area are divided into two parts. The taxes
levied on the base value the assessed valuation at the time
the project began—are allocated to the city, county, schools,
and other taxing units in the usual manner. The taxes levied
on the increment the increase in the assessed valuation over
the base value—are allocated to the redevelopment authority.
The redevelopment authority may use the allocated taxes to
finance the public costs of the redevelopment project, either
by paying for current projects on a pay-as-you-go basis or by
repaying tax allocation bonds issued by the redevelopment
authority. Tax Increment Financing for Development and
Redevelopment, 61 Or.L.Rev. 124 (1982).
