(Section) No. 6 A, and the amendment in Section No. 6 E, “The economic development staff of the City, as designated by the City Manager, shall serve,,,”, and the City staff will receive compensation from the County as the funds picked up. Member Burson believed that Member Pritchett meant to use the words “may serve” in Section No. 6 E. of her motion. City Attorney Broome advised that he believed Member Pritchett intended to use the word, “may”. Mayor Tulley advised that he believed Member Pritchett did use the word “may”. Vice-Mayor Johnson seconded the motion. Member Long asked whether City Attorney Broome could offer a language change suggestion to Section No. 4 that would permit the City to have the option whether it would transfer TIF funds to the trust fund. Under Section No. 4, in the first sentence, City Attorney Broome offered, “The City agrees to annually review and approve the District’s budget concerning the expenditure of City funds and transfer for deposit into the City Account that portion of the dedicated increment value of ad valorem taxes determined under the City tax increment ordinance as approved by the City.” Member Long asked whether Member Pritchett would accept a friendly amendment to the motion on the floor that provided that annually, the City would have a decision in the TIF funds that would be transferred. Member Pritchett declined the friendly amendment requested by Member Long. Member Burson clarified how the trust fund would be organized and used according to the terms in the proposed interlocal agreement. Vice-Mayor Johnson read aloud Section No. 3; paragraph No. 2 in the proposed agreement, which he believed would provide comfort to the Council. The language provided the City would have control of its funds. Mayor Tulley advised that the County would provide more funds than the City and he was comfortable with the controls of the agreement, based on the motion made by Member Pritchett. Member Long advised that she would vote no on the pending motion due to she felt the City did not have enough experience in making these types of agreements, there was no plan, the Board was not yet established, there could be bonding and liability issues, staff’s time would be required, etc.
