New paragraph
Councilmember Carroll noted that the Downtown Redevelopment District Plan will expire in the
year 2000. Carroll asked if the Plan can be amended. Community Development Director
Rogness was unsure if it will have $400,000 or not, but a budget would be established. The Tax
Increment Financing report to the State will tell us exactly how much money to expect. All debt
obligations will be met in 1999 and the Plan can be amended prior to 1999. Rogness noted that
the effects of the recent legislation need to be established in the ne�month or two.
