4:31 – 4:43Speaker 5

Keith Carswell, Administrator for Alapata CRA. I believe that there is, if we can reconsider the item, I think that there is an amendment that the Chair wants to proffer as it relates to the agreement.

4:43 – 4:55Miguel Angel Gabela

Okay, so, yeah, so we're amending the... the split from 75-20 for the first five years, and thereafter, commencing on the sixth year, it'll be 60-35.

4:56Speaker 1

So, Mr. Clerk, I want to defer to you because they already approved the item as presented, and now we want to make an amendment to the interlocal?

5:04Speaker 6

Correct. So, there needs to be a motion to reconsider. So moved.

5:09Speaker 6

Moved by Commissioner Pardo, seconded by Commissioner Rosado.

5:13Miguel Angel Gabela

And so we have a motion and second. Yeah, all in favor? Aye.

5:17Speaker 6

So the motion reconsider passes 5-0. Now RE1 is back in play.

5:24Speaker 5

So as the chairman indicated that the first five years of TIF will be 70, 20, and 5% for the first five.

5:34Miguel Angel Gabela

75, 20. 75, 20. And the five. And then commencing on the sixth year thereafter, 60, 35, 5. Correct. That makes the 100, right?

5:46 – 5:57Speaker 1

And just for the record, the first five years, we're saying the TIF percentage is going to be 75, 20%, 75% to the CRA, 20% to city?

5:59Speaker 1

Okay. Do we have a motion?
