Finance staff flags state change to excess-assessment rules, schedules May review; TIFF management report submitted

Adam (finance staff) presented the monthly financial report and highlighted a recent change enacted during the 2026 state legislative session that adjusts the annual determination of excess assessed value. Adam said the June 15 deadline remains in place but the change adds a pass‑through mechanism if the deadline is missed, increasing the city's risk exposure.

Adam recommended that staff and commissioners treat the revised rule as a timing risk and scheduled a follow‑up for the commission’s May meeting so staff can prepare the appropriate packets and proposals. He also said several other changes from the session could be covered in a future education session.

Adam reported the TIFF management report is finalized and ready to submit; he said the report will be sent to Gateway tomorrow.

Next steps: staff will prepare materials for the May meeting addressing the statutory timing change and will submit the TIFF management report to Gateway as scheduled.
