The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to establish the Fiscal Year 2019 appropriations in the various Tax Increment Funds (TIFs) in the amount of $94,446,946.00.

Such money within each TIF fund shall be used in accordance with legal restrictions to meet the requirements of the Zone. The TIF funds are used for economic development and redevelopment projects within the boundaries of the Zones in accordance with the adopted project and financing plans for each TIF and the Tax Increment Financing Act, which authorizes the City to maintain the funds.
