Ballpark Village Municipal Improvement District City of North Augusta, South Carolina
Annual Assessment Report and
Amendment of the Assessment Roll for 2022-2023 Assessment Year
INTRODUCTION
The Ballpark Village Municipal Improvement District (the “Improvement District”), located in the City of North Augusta, South Carolina (the “City”), was created by Ordinance No. 2016-23
(the “Improvement District Ordinance”) enacted by the City Council of the City of North Augusta
(the “City Council”) on February 6, 2017. The Improvement District Ordinance also authorized the imposition of the Assessment(s) on the Assessed Property within the Improvement District and
approved an Assessment Roll listing the parcels in the Improvement District and the amount of the
Assessment imposed upon each such parcel. As more fully explained in the Report on the Reasonable Basis of the Special Assessment, approved by the Improvement District Ordinance, the
Assessments were set to equal estimated tax increment finance revenues from the parcels of real property within the Improvement District.
To defray the costs of public improvements to be provided for the Improvement District, the North Augusta Public Facilities Corporation (the “Corporation”) issued its $69,450,000
installment purchase revenue bonds on May 16, 2017 (the “Series 2017B Bonds”), pursuant to a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted on February 20, 2017. Simultaneously with the issuance of the Series 2017B Bonds, the City issued its $43,412,000 tax
increment financing obligation to the Corporation (the “2017 TIF Obligation”). The 2017 TIF Obligation constitutes a Borrowing as that term is defined in the Rate and Method of
Apportionment of Assessment, Appendix A of the Assessment Roll (the “Rate and Method”). By
Ordinance enacted on February 6, 2017, the City Council approved the issuance of the Series 2017B Bonds and the 2017 TIF Obligation and authorized the City to enter into the various documents and
instruments necessary to effectuate the issuance by the Corporation of the Series 2017B Bonds and by the City of the 2017 TIF Obligation.
The City previously established a tax increment finance district (the “TIF District”) in accordance with Title 31, Chapter 6 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina 1976, as amended, which
is also known as the Tax Increment Financing Law. The TIF District encompasses approximately
457 acres, including the Improvement District. Pursuant to the Tax Increment Financing Law, the private projects in the Improvement District and other private projects within the TIF District are
expected to produce annual tax increment financing district revenues (“TIF Revenues”) for the City that will secure the 2017 TIF Obligation. In consideration for the Corporation issuing the Series
2017B Bonds and entering into the documents related thereto, the City issued the 2017 TIF
Obligation to the Corporation, and the Corporation in turn assigned all right, title and interest in the 2017 TIF Obligation to the trustee for the Series 2017B Bonds, which assignment caused the 2017
TIF Obligation to become part of the security for the Series 2017B Bonds. In accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the documents relating to the Series 2017B Bonds, each payment by the City of TIF Revenues pursuant to the 2017 TIF Obligation shall constitute dollar for dollar credit
against the City’s obligation to make payments under the documents relating the Series 2017B Bonds. The Assessments shall be billed on an annual basis in accordance with the Rate and Method.
Pursuant to the Rate and Method, the Assessments on each Parcel within the Improvement District
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT #11 Page 6 of 15
are due and payable each year as the Annual Parcel Assessment. The sum of the Annual Parcel
Assessment for all Parcels equals the Annual Assessment. The Annual Assessment for each year is
shown in the updated Appendix B-2 of the Assessment Roll, attached to this report. Pursuant to the Rate and Method, the portion of the Annual Parcel Assessment to be billed and collected shall be
calculated in each Assessment Year. In general, as further described below, in each Assessment Year
the Annual Parcel Credit shall be subtracted from the Annual Parcel Assessment for each Parcel; the resulting amount shall equal the Annual Payment, which is to be billed and collected from the
Assessed Property in the Improvement District. The Annual Parcel Assessment, the Annual Parcel Credit and the Annual Payment for each Parcel are shown in the updated Appendix B-1 of the
Assessment Roll, attached to this report.
In order to facilitate the collection of the Assessment, the City shall update Appendix B-1
and B-2 of the Assessment Roll each Assessment Year to reflect (i) the current Parcels in the Improvement District, (ii) the Assessment for each Parcel, including any adjustments to the Assessment as provided for in Section C; (iii) the Annual Assessment; (iv) the Annual Parcel
Assessment for each Parcel, (v) the Annual Payment to be collected from each Parcel for the current Assessment Year, (vi) prepayments of the Assessment as provided for herein, and (vii) termination of
the Assessment as provided for herein. This report has been prepared to meet these requirements for
the 2022–2023 Assessment Year. Through its approval of this report, City Council is confirming the Annual Payment and the updated Assessment Roll.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Rate and Method.
I - CURRENT PARCELS IN THE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
Based on information known to the City, no additional Parcels were created in calendar year
2021.
The updated Appendix B-1, attached to this report, lists the Parcels in the Improvement District for which the Annual Payment for the 2022-2023 Assessment Year may be billed.
The City is also unaware of any real property parcels created from subdivisions in calendar year 2022. To the extent that any Parcel were created in 2022, such Parcels will be added to the
Assessment Roll for the 2023-2024 Assessment Year.
II - ASSESSMENT ON EACH PARCEL
The Assessment for each Parcel is shown on Appendix B-1, attached to this report. The Assessment on each Parcel shown on Appendix B-1 has been updated in accordance with the Rate
and Method. In particular, the Assessment on each Parcel is reduced by the amount of the Annual Parcel Assessment for the Parcel for the prior Assessment Year.
All Annual Payments from prior years have been collected.
III - ANNUAL ASSESSMENT The Annual Assessment for each Assessment Year is shown on Appendix B-2, attached to
this report.
As indicated above, the Annual Assessment is the sum of the Annual Parcel Assessment for
all Parcels in the Improvement District. For the 2022-2023 Assessment Year, the Annual Assessment equals $1,686,753.35, as shown on Appendix B-2.
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT #11 Page 7 of 15
IV - ANNUAL PARCEL ASSESSMENT FOR EACH PARCEL
The Annual Parcel Assessment for each Parcel for the 2022-2023 Assessment Year is shown on Appendix B-1, attached to this report. The Annual Parcel Assessment for the Parcels for 2022-
2023 Assessment Year which are shown on Appendix B-1 are generally consistent with the amounts
specified in the original Assessment Roll, with updates for prior allocations of the Assessments resulting from prior subdivisions of the Parcels.
V - ANNUAL PAYMENT
The Annual Payment for each Parcel for the 2022-2023 Assessment Year is shown on Appendix B-1, attached to this report.
The Annual Payment is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“The Annual Payment means for each Parcel, the portion of the Annual Parcel Assessment to be collected each Assessment Year calculated as
provided for in Section D.”
As specified in Section D of the Rate and Method, the Annual Payment is calculated as
follows: “First Step: The Administrator shall calculate the Annual Revenue Requirement. If the
Annual Revenue Requirement is less than the Annual Assessment, the Annual Parcel Assessment on every Parcel shall be decreased on a pro-rated basis such that the Annual
Assessment equals the Annual Revenue Requirement.
Second Step: The Administrator shall calculate the Tax Revenues for each Parcel in the
Improvement District. If the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels is greater than or equal to the Annual Assessment, then the Annual Payment for all Parcels shall equal zero ($0.00).
Third step: If the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels is less than the Annual
Assessment, then the Annual Payment for each Parcel shall equal Parcel’s Annual Parcel
Assessment less the Parcel’s Annual Parcel Credit.”
The remainder of this Section V describes the calculation of the Annual Payment pursuant to steps described above.
First Step
As indicated above, the first step in the calculation of the Annual Payment is to compare the
Annual Revenue Requirement to the Annual Assessment. The Annual Assessment equals $1,686,753.35. The Annual Revenue Requirement is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“The Annual Revenue Requirement means for any Assessment Year, the sum of the following: (1) Debt Service Expenses and (2) Administrative
Expenses; less the sum of Other Available Funds and Other Ballpark Village Revenues.”
Table A below provides a calculation of the Annual Revenue Requirement for the 2022–2023 Assessment Year. Each of these numbers is explained in the following sections.
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT #11 Page 8 of 15
Table A Annual Revenue Requirement
Debt Service Expenses
Series 2017 TIF Obligation
Interest payment on April 15, 2023 $1,045,978.50
Interest payment on October 15, 2023 $1,045,978.50
Principal payment on October 15, 2023 $398,000.00
Subtotal Debt Service Expenses $2,489,957.00
Administrative Expenses $50,000.00
Subtotal expenses $2,539,957.00
Other Available Funds $0.00
Other Ballpark Village Revenues $0.00
Subtotal of available funds $0.00
Annual Revenue Requirement $2,539,957.00
Debt Service Expenses
Debt service includes the semi-annual interest payments due on the 2017 TIF Obligation on
April 15, 2023 and on October 15, 2023. The interest payment on the 2017 TIF Obligation due on April 15, 2023 is $1,045,978.50 and the interest payment on the 2017 TIF Obligation due on October
15, 2023 is $1,045,978.50. There is a principal payment in the amount of $398,000.00 due for the
2017 Obligation on October 15, 2023. As a result, total debt service on the 2017 TIF Obligation is $2,489,957.00.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative Expenses is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“Administrative Expenses means the actual or budgeted costs, as
applicable, directly related to the administration of the Improvement District, which may include but are not limited to the following: the costs of
computing the Annual Payments; the costs of collecting the Annual Payments (whether by the City or otherwise); the costs of the Administrator in the discharge of their duties; the costs of the City of complying with
arbitrage rebate requirements; the costs of the City of complying with securities disclosure requirements; and any other costs of the City in any
way related to the administration and operation of the Improvement
District, including, without limitation, the costs of legal counsel and other consultants and advisors, and costs related to commencing foreclosure and
pursuing collection of delinquent Annual Payments, including contingencies and reserves for Administrative Expense as deemed appropriate by the City Council.”
Estimated Administrative Expenses include payments to the trustee of the Series 2017B
Bonds, payments to the administrator of the Improvement District, legal fees for the Improvement
District and miscellaneous expenses for the administration of the Improvement District, including
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT #11 Page 9 of 15
but not limited to expenses related to the collection of the Annual Payment and other expenses of
the City. The annual charges of the trustee are estimated to be $5,000.00. The estimated annual total
of the Administrative Expenses from the administrator of the Improvement District and from attorneys which assist the City with the Improvement District is $40,000.00. Miscellaneous
Administrative Expenses are estimated to be $5,000.00. Accordingly, total Administrative Expenses
for the 2022-2023 Assessment Year are estimated to be $50,000.00.
Other Available Funds
Other Available Funds is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“Other Available Funds means capitalized interest, interest earnings on any
trust account in connection with the Borrowings and any other funds deposited to a trust account in connection with the Borrowings that are available to meet the Annual Revenue Requirement in any given
Assessment Year.”
The City has indicated that as of January 23, 2023 there are no other funds available to meet
the Annual Revenue Requirement and therefore Other Available Funds equals zero ($0.00).
Other Ballpark Village Revenues Other Ballpark Village Revenues is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“Other Ballpark Village Revenues means legally available funds determined
on an annual basis potentially beginning in the 6th Assessment Year that
result from parcels of real property or activity within the Improvement District and are designated as “Other Ballpark Village Revenues” by City
Council, in its sole discretion, by resolution to meet the Annual Revenue Requirement in any given Assessment Year.”
The City has indicated that as of January 23, 2023, City Council has not designated any funds as Other Ballpark Village Revenues for the 2022-2023 Assessment Year and therefore Other Ballpark
Village Revenues equals zero ($0.00).
As shown in Table B above, the Annual Revenue Requirement equals $2,539,957.00. This
amount is greater than the Annual Assessment of $1,686,753.35. As such, the potential resulting
action of the first step (to reduce the Annual Parcel Assessment on a pro rata basis, as explained above) is not implemented.
Second Step
As indicated above, the second step in the calculation of the Annual Payment is to compare the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels to the Annual Assessment. The Annual Assessment
equals $1,686,753.35.
Tax Revenues is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“Tax Revenues means for each Parcel the actual or estimated annual real
property tax revenues expected to be collected for the specific Assessment
Year and available to be applied to the repayment of the Borrowings, pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and as described in the Development
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT #11 Page 10 of 15
Agreement. The calculation of the Tax Revenues for each Parcel will
exclude (1) any deductions for the base assessed value of the tax increment
finance district or the base assessed value of the Parcel or the Parcel’s parent parcel at the creation of the tax increment finance district and (2)
other tax revenues that are not available for the Redevelopment Plan.”
The calculation of the Tax Revenues for each parcel is shown in Appendix C, attached to
this report. As further explained on Appendix C, the calculation of the Tax Revenues utilizes the following information:
• The assessed value of the Parcels as provided by the Aiken County Tax Assessor
• A total millage rate of $0.2744 per $1 of assessed value.
As shown in Appendix C, the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels equals $1,499,527.42, which is less than the Annual Assessment of $1,686,753.35. As such, the potential result of the
second step (that the Annual Payment for all Parcels equals zero) is not implemented.
Third Step
Following the determination made above for the second step, the third step in the calculation of the Annual Payment is required. The third step is to subtract the Annual Parcel Credit
from the Annual Parcel Assessment for each Parcel. The Annual Parcel Credit is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
“Annual Parcel Credit means for each Parcel in each Assessment Year the Parcel’s Tax Revenues; provided, however, that the Annual Parcel Credit
for a Parcel in any Assessment Year shall not exceed the Parcel’s Annual Parcel Assessment.”
Appendix C provides the Annual Parcel Credit for each Parcel, as well as a calculation of the Annual Payment for the 2022–2023 Assessment Year for each Parcel. As shown on Appendix C, the
Annual Parcel Credit equals the Annual Parcel Assessment for six Parcels (the Parcels identified by
Aiken County as 007-14-19-001, 007-17-002-03, 007-18-05-004, 007-18-05-006, 007-18-05-007 and 007-18-05-008) (and excluding all Parcels for which the Annual Parcel Assessment equals zero),
which results in an Annual Payment of zero ($0.00) for these six Parcels. As shown on Appendix C, the sum of the Annual Payment for all Parcels in the Improvement District equals $744,281.70, which is distributed amongst thirteen Parcels.
The Annual Payment to be billed and collected from the thirteen Parcels of Assessed
Property in the Improvement District (as described above and shown on Appendix C), shall be billed
on the City’s annual real property tax bill and collected by the City as the property owner makes payment of the entire amount due (inclusive of the Annual Payment), as indicated on the real
property tax bill. VI - PREPAYMENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT
As of the date of this report, there has been no prepayment of the Assessment.
VII - TERMINATION OF THE ASSESSMENT
The Rate and Method specifies the following regarding the termination of the Assessment.
EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT #11 Page 11 of 15
“Except for any delinquent Annual Payments and related penalties and interest, the
Assessment on each Parcel may not be collected for a term exceeding the earlier of (a) the
final maturity of the Borrowings and (b) the date on which such Assessment is prepaid in full as provided for herein.”
The final maturity of the 2017 TIF Obligation is October 15, 2046. As indicated above, there have been no prepayments of the Assessment. As such, there has been no termination of the
Assessment on any Parcel. CONCLUSION
