This discussion was held to reponse to the request of Arkell Development Corporation for tax increment financing and housing revenue honds for proposed senior citizen housing. Assistant Manager Boyles suggested the Council review three issues% 1) Does the Council wish to authorize tax increment financing for housing projects (other than the downtown site)? 2) Does the Council wish tv authorize additional housing revenue bonds (for projects other than the downtown site)? 3) If either tax increment financing or housing revenue bonds are to be issu'd, should they be location specific, i.e. downtcwr Plymouth only, or community -wide? Councilmember Sisk stated the idea of u3; ng f inai cing toots to assist in development of senior citizen housing ;serves a useful purpose as long as It is consistent with the City's overall guide plan and the rents are affotdable for those seniors that really need housing assistance. Councilmember Sisk was supportive of being site specific and stated it would be difficult to support financing for a project outside of the Plymouth Downtown area. MOTION was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember Ricker, to establish that it is the sense of the Coun; it that the use of tax increment financing or revenue bonds for housing is not supported, with the exception of the city -owned site in Downtown Plymouth.
