Summary

The council adopted an amended South End redevelopment plan to align with the CIP, explicitly allocate 50% of TIF revenue to the South End (practice since 2019) and add public art language; staff clarified the $900,000 passive park line remains unchanged.

The City Council adopted Resolution 2201-2025 to update the South End community redevelopment area (CRA) plan. Taylor Mobs, CRA coordinator, said staff last updated the plan in 2022 and the new amendment aligns the South End plan with the city’s CIP, emphasizes consistency with the downtown plan and adds public art as a programmatic element.

Mobs said the update calls out a practice dating to 2019 of directing 50% of TIFF (tax increment financing) revenue to the South End; she emphasized that simply listing that practice in the plan does not itself change budgets — any budget or TIFF reductions would be adopted separately by resolution or administratively. Councilmember Horton asked whether adding public art would affect a passive park line item of $900,000; Mobs and staff confirmed the $900,000 allocation for the passive park was previously budgeted and the amendment will not reassign that money.

Council adopted the resolution by roll call.
