Watch all the fun HERE, and my rough PDF document of the slides:Â 85thex-1-29
It seems a lot of fun stuff came from this, including an ever changing timeline by the city (jumped from 2016, to 2018 to 2020 city participation timeline in 2 short years).
I also seem to think this is kind of strange we would be passing up sales tax revenue by not deciding to annex this until 2020. Can you imagine having several big box stores in an area where no municipal sales taxes apply? So when you go buy a $3000 television you only pay the state’s 4 pennies instead of the city’s 6 pennies? Why would the city pass on this opportunity?
I will tell you why. Pissing matches between developers and those who butter our mayor’s bread. There was a laundry list of big wigs in government and development in the crowd today, guess who was missing? Michael Bender and Michael Huether . . . . Hmmm.
