Show T Redevelopment Agency Studied In Farmington Shots Offered udito CLEARFIELD Senior Citizens can receive flu shots at the Heritage Senior Citizen Center Monday from 1 to 4 D r neut'w, Octolier .40 , ! ; ui Look to BAKER Auditor Stato Trustworthy Experienced LDrarci p.m. The shots will cost A redevelopment agency may FARMINGTON be created in this city to provide' an alternative source of revenue. The citys attorney is currently reviewing an ordinance which will create such an. agency. City Manager Max Forbush said, It has been the feeling of the City Council that they need to do everything in their power to pull in more commercial entities. He said they want to create a redevelopment agency as a tool and a alternative way of increasing the citys tax base through creative financing. He said this could become crucial if the tax initiatives on the ballot in the upcoming election are passed. Fifty-thre- e percent of Farmingtons revenues would be lost if initiative B passes, he said. In addition to this he added that revenue restrictions on cities limit the amount they can collect. He said this is especially rough on third class cities, which is Farmingtons classification. The proposed redevelopment agency would help to encourage commercial and light industry to come into the Farmington area and would allow the city to freeze property taxes at their cuirent level, Forbush said. Any increase in assessment would then go to finance public improvements, he said. He said the current tax base in Farmington is almost totally dependent on property taxes and they cant finance the city under the existing revenues. Were having a hard time meeting our needs, he said. We need more personnel we need to parks, roads, etc. He cited several reasons small cities are considering redevelopment projects. One reason he pointed out is the cities are concerned with improving their downtown areas and with the expanded tax base this is possible. Like individuals and companies, cities are starting to feel the pinch of the recession. He said in addition to this they need to compete with the surrounding communities which have already taken action in these areas. He said, of Farmingtons efforts, Its crucial that we get going in order to recapture those taxes and push for the development. The area that Farmington will place emphasis on for the redevelopment is in West Farmington. Weve given tentative approval to Fox Glove Developers proposed shopping mall plaza which would be located on the north side of Shepherd Lane," he said. He also said the city is trying another method to encourage businesses to come into the area. This is industrial revenue bonding which is a bonding form that does not endanger or encumber a citys bonding toraseasone l.uKt'Mtie $2.50; $2 for the vaccine and 50 cents goes to the health department.
