redevelopment in areas which are or which are threatened to become blighted and to fund the debt service of such
indebtedness from the additional tax revenues which result from such redevelopment. Under the TIF Act, all property taxes
of all taxing jurisdictions imposed and collected within the Redevelopment Project Area in excess of the amount
attributable to the “total initial equalized assessed value” of all taxable real property in the Redevelopment Project Area
shall be paid to the municipality which shall deposit the taxes into a special tax allocation fund for the purpose of paying
redevelopment project costs and discharging the obligations incurred in the payment of such costs. Certain portions of the
taxes deposited to or otherwise subject to deposit to the special tax allocation fund are disbursed to overlapping taxing
entities in accordance with agreements between the City and political subdivisions pursuant to which they agreed to
participate in the TIF on a modified basis. As of 3/31/20, no funds had been disbursed to overlapping taxing entities.
