Title
Presentation Regarding Request to Extend the Reunion Sales and Use Tax Reimbursement Agreement

Body
Summary and Background Information:
In 2001, the City entered into an agreement with Shea Homes, Fulenwider, Buffalo Hills Ranch, LLC, and Potomac, LLC to consolidate eight previous agreements that were primarily annexation agreements. Then in 2003 the City entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the Reunion Metropolitan District (“Reunion”) based on and supplementing the 2001 agreement.

The 2003 agreement focused on sharing sales and use tax revenue and building permit revenue generated by development within the Reunion boundaries. The purpose was to reimburse Reunion for building public improvements that the City was responsible to build. The revenue share was set at 33% of 3% sales and use tax and 33% of building permit fees. Road impact fees were to be credited to Reunion instead of the land owners. The IGA has a 20 year life that expires on January 1, 2022.

Oakwood Homes has taken over as the master developer from Shea. Representatives of Oakwood/Reunion have requested that the revenue sharing agreement be extended. The City staff need your direction on whether or not to negotiate the terms for an extension of the agreement.

The projects proposed to be funded by the extension of the agreement include:
