Fiscal Note
This resolution authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an agreement with the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) to guarantee its share of TID 25 at closure, up to a maximum of $9,274,000. This amount represents MMSD's share of the residual revenues in TID 25 if it had been closed as of December 31, 2014. If this guarantee is exercised, it will require an appropriation at a future date from the Capital Projects Fund. It is anticipated that if the guarantee is necessary, the source of funds would be a portion of the City's share of the residual revenues in TID 25 at closure.
As of December 31, 2014, TID 25 had residual revenues of $19.5 million. If it remains open through its maximum statutory life (2022/2023), those residual revenues will grow to $56 million. It is anticipated that any project costs, including construction of an underground ramp to replace the Government East parking structure, can be accomodated within this growth in incremental revenues and maintain the $19.5 million balance upon which this guarantee has been established.
