Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

The purpose of the resolution is to set a public hearing to approve a service plan amendment for an existing metropolitan district.

The purpose of the metro district is to finance, construct and maintain public improvements supporting commercial land uses located west of Tower Road between 64^th and 72^nd Avenues.

The service plan was amended and restated in October last year bringing the service plan in alignment with current standards. Inadvertently, the new language in Section X.B.4. of the service plan was too restrictive and prohibited the issuance of subordinate debt that is serviced by a limited mill levy when the assessed value is twice the value of debt issued and there is debt outstanding with an unlimited mill levy pledge. Approval of the amendment will permit the District to enter financing arrangements that will allow construction of future phases.

State law requires notice of a public hearing on the Service Plan Amendment be at least 20 days prior to a public hearing which will be at City Council on April 8^th. As this project was just through City Council, staff is requesting to send the request through committee on consent.

The ordinance requesting to approve the Service Plan Amendment will promptly follow this resolution. Below is a schedule illustrating the City Council process.
