ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager with a Request to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Reserving 2020 PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND VOLUME CAP, in the Amount of $11,695,740.00.
Body
BACKGROUND: Each year the City of Peoria receives an allocation known as the Volume Cap from the State of Illinois for Private Activity Bonding. This Volume Cap can be used for either Industrial Revenue Bonds or one of three financing mechanisms for housing: Single-Family Revenue Bonds, Multi-Family Revenue Bonds, or Mortgage Credit Certificates. As in the past, the City of Peoria will make the Volume Cap first available for Industrial Revenue Bonds. If industrial / manufacturing projects do not seek to use the allocation, the City will then utilize the bonds for eligible housing programs.
The City's Volume Cap must be reserved by May 1, 2020, or it reverts back to the State of Illinois. Approval of the attached ordinance will reserve the Volume Cap for the municipality but does not allocate its specific use.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: For 2020 the Home rule units of government are allocated $105 per capita Private Equity Volume Cap. Peoria's allocation equals $11,695,740.00 based on the State assigned population of 111,388.
