President Sean Walker presented a letter concerning the standing of the TIF district to the commission. In reviewing the activities of the immediate past year, the Hudson Redevelopment Commission undertook only one new activity, the off set of costs associated with a possible new commercial activity.  For this activity, the Commission has committed to the reimbursement of utility easements, driveway permit applications, and the drainage on the site over a five (5) year period beginning the year following the opening.  The annual reimbursement will be $8,000 per year.  Additionally, the Commission remains focused on completion of existing projects.

The western extension of the water and sewer lines, completed in early 2003, remains a financial obligation.

These improvements have had their price.  The Commission currently has a debt of $174,103.24 as of the end of 2006.  The existing debt is being repaid from the Tax Increment Funds (TIF).  The end of the year balance in the TIF funds is $47,710.38.  The Tax Increment Replacement (TIR) funds were approved at a rate of $0.2096, $9,982.01 in income.  These funds should insure the ability to continue payments on the current.  The board approved the report for the Town Council, Gene Hamm motion, Brian Hayes second.

Having no further business, a motion was made by Sean Walker and seconded by Brian Hayes to adjourn.  Motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,

 

Atta “Tatsy” Hayes

Clerk-Treasurer
