Redevelopment Commission Responsibilities Regarding Excess Assessed Valuation

MAY 22, 2023

This memorandum provides guidance to county auditors regarding the statutory responsibility of redevelopment commissions to determine and report the amount of any excess assessed value within Tax Increment Finance (“TIF”) districts before June 15 of each year. (Ind. Code § 36-7-14-39(b)(4)).

Prior to the beginning of the certified net assessed value (“CNAV”) reporting process, the Department of Local Government Finance (“Department”) recommends that each county auditor contact their county’s redevelopment commissions to notify them of this responsibility. Reporting the excess assessed value is especially important when a referendum has been approved for a unit or school within the TIF allocation area.

Each redevelopment commission must submit a written notice to the county auditor, the fiscal body of the county or municipality that established the department of redevelopment, and the officers who are authorized to fix budgets, tax rates, and tax levies under Ind. Code § 6-1.1-17-5 for each of the other taxing units that is wholly or partly located within the allocation area. Each county auditor must forward an electronic copy of the notice to the Department, as required by Ind. Code § 36-7-14-39(b)(4)(B).

Instructions on the electronic submission procedures can be found below. The notice must include either of the following:

  • The amount, if any, of excess assessed value, that the commission has determined may be allocated to the respective taxing units.
  • A statement that the commission has determined that there is no excess assessed value that may be allocated to the respective taxing units.

The county auditor must allocate to the respective taxing units the amount if any, of excess assessed value as determined by the commission. The commission may not authorize an allocation of assessed value to the respective taxing units if to do so would jeopardize the interests of lessors or the bondholders.

If the amount of excess assessed value as determined by the commission is expected to generate more than 200% of the amount of allocated tax proceeds necessary to make, when due, principal and interest payments on bonds, plus the amount necessary for other purposes described in Ind. Code § 36-7-14-39(b)(3), the commission must submit to the legislative body of the unit its determination of the excess assessed value that the commission proposes to allocate to the respective taxing units. The legislative body of the unit may approve the commission’s determination or modify the amount of the excess assessed value that will be allocated to the respective taxing units.

Gateway Submission Procedures

Redevelopment commissions indicating that they do not have excess assessed value still must provide this Notice. All county auditors will submit the Notice to the Department through Gateway’s Budget application.

Trailblazer baseball trio earns All-Conference honors

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – Vincennes University sophomores Ethan Burdette (Linton, Ind.), Colton Evans (Henderson, Ky.) and Colin Long (Evansville, Ind.) each picked up some individual honors for this past season.

Burdette would be named second team All-Conference, as well as earning a spot on the All-Region 24 team, while Evans earned second team All-Conference honors for the second year in a row and Colin Long was named to the Region 24 Rawlings Gold Glove team for the second time.

Burdette continually set the tone early and often for the VU baseball team, serving as the Trailblazers leadoff hitter and leading the Blazers this season with an outstanding .408 batting average and a team-high 75 hits and scoring a team-leading 59 runs this past season.

Burdette always seemed to find a way to get on base, in 226 plate appearances this season, Burdette only struck out 15 times and drew 28 walks, while hitting nine doubles, three triples and driving in 25 RBIs.

Once Burdette got on base he would still find ways to cause problems for the opposing defense, stealing 21 bases on the season.

Burdette closed out his VU career with 132 career hits, 51 RBIs, 45 walks, 37 stolen bases and a .373 batting average over two seasons.

Colton Evans finished off his sophomore season by earning a spot on the second-team All-Mid-West Athletic Conference (MWAC) team for the second time in his VU career.

Evans split time this season between playing third base and in the outfield and certainly left an impression on several MWAC conference pitchers.

Evans led the Trailblazers this season with seven home runs, 50 RBIs, 13 doubles and four triples, while batting .345 for the season and having a team-high .591 slugging percentage.

Evans’s 140 hits at Vincennes University is good for fourth all-time in school history.

Evans finished his VU baseball career with 30 doubles, 10 home runs, 92 RBIs, eight triples, 89 runs scored and a .380 batting average.

Evans has verbally committed to play next season at NAIA Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tenn.

The Vincennes regular season honorees is rounded out by VU’s new All-Time hits leader Colin Long, who was named to the NJCAA Region 24 Division II Rawling Gold Glove team for the second year in a row.

Long was a pitcher’s best friend out in center field this season for the Trailblazers, finishing the season with a stellar .991 fielding percentage, recording 115 defensive putouts and only committing one error in 55 games this season.

Offensively, Long obviously held his own as well, setting a new Vincennes University school record for hits in a career this season with 173. Long finished the season with 51 hits, 12 doubles, 23 RBIs and a .307 batting average.

Long closed out his three-year Trailblazer career with 173 hits, 27 doubles, 10 triples, four home runs, 63 RBIs, 57 walks, 24 stolen bases and a .337 batting average.

Long has verbally committed to playing next season at Indiana University-Southeast in New Albany.

This trio guided the Trailblazers to a 25-33 record this past season, with a 13-19 record in MWAC Conference play and earned VU a fourth-consecutive trip to the MWAC Conference baseball tournament.

The Vincennes University Athletic Department would like to congratulate Ethan Burdette, Colton Evans and Colin Long on their tremendous accomplishments this season and wishes them good luck as they continue their baseball career next season.

Otters stay hot win fifth in a row

0
Evansville, Ind. – The Evansville Otters stayed hot, winning their fifth in a row Saturday night at Bosse Field. Zach Smith threw eight shutout innings to lead the Otters to the 5-0 victory over the Trois-Rivieres Aigles.

Smith earned his second win of the season scattering five hits over eight innings with seven strikeouts of the Aigles. The righty from Katy, Texas has pitched 14 innings this year without allowing an earned run.

Evansville scored in the first inning for the sixth time this season. Kona Quiggle launched a three run home run 400 feet down the right field line. The blast made it back to back days for Quiggle with a homer. The centerfielder has six hits and six RBIs in his first five games as an Otter.

The Otters added insurance runs in the third and sixth. Dakota Phillips led the third off with a double and scored when Troy Viola was hit at the plate with the bases loaded.

Ethan Skender capped the scoring in the sixth with a triple that bounced off the Aigles’ center fielder’s glove, scoring Noah Myers.

Hunter Kloke closed the game with a scoreless ninth making it 25.1 straight scoreless innings for the Otters’ bullpen.

Evansville closes out the homestand Sunday afternoon against Trois-Rivieres with first pitch at 12:35 PM. Sunday is a dog days of summer with discounted hot dogs and fans encouraged to bring their dogs.

The game will be televised on FloSports with audio-only coverage available for free on the Evansville Otters YouTube page.

The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions.

This year’s budget is a missed, squandered opportunity

This year’s budget is a missed, squandered opportunity

  • By Rep. Gregory W. Porter, Special to TheStatehouseFile.com

  • Like all budget sessions at the Indiana General Assembly, there are winners and losers. But what sets this year’s now-concluded legislative session apart is that there are more people in the losers’ column than ever before – most Hoosiers, in fact.

    A year ago, it was a common refrain that we’d be in a recession by now and have to tighten our belts this legislative session. April’s two-year revenue forecast – the final estimate lawmakers use to finalize budget appropriations for the next two years – indicated the opposite, that the state would have $2.1 billion in previously unexpected dollars to allocate in this year’s budget.

    The Republican supermajority claimed this session would be all about historic investments in public health and mental health (including in the context of our justice system). When the extra $2.1 billion was projected, an unknowing observer might have guessed that money would be spent fully funding transformative investments in our public health and mental health crisis response systems.

    That money was not, in fact, appropriated to making those quality-of-life investments transformative. After several decades as a state lawmaker, I’m used to Republican majority budgets being missed opportunities. This year’s budget goes one step further. It’s a total squandering of the public money of which lawmakers should serve as dutiful trustees.

    So: What do you suppose the Republican majority chose to fund instead of programs to improve Hoosiers’ minds and health?

    • An unprecedented school voucher expansion allows families making $220k to receive public money for private education, all while the public schools that educate over 90% of Hoosier children received funding increases lower than the rate of inflation.
    • $500 million for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation to spend on economic development projects, including speculative real estate acquisition, that may never materialize into solid, long-term jobs for Hoosiers.
    • $700 million into a retirement savings account that we have already been paying down at a responsible rate.
    • Sped-up income tax cuts will result in the most savings for Indiana’s wealthiest.
    • $800 million in cash for capital improvements to the Westville Prison project, financing that our AAA credit rating could have easily been marshaled to pay for through bonds.
    • During his floor speech before the final budget vote, House Speaker Todd Huston said, “The tough thing around here is nothing is ever fully funded. When you ask people what it would take to be fully funded, the answer is always the same: Just a little bit more.”

    It seems to me that a lot of programs were fully funded. They just aren’t the ones that are going to help you with your property tax bill. Or expand IndyGo’s services. Or give every Hoosier child a fair shot at success through universal pre-K. Or improve our public health outcomes.

    It’s a shame that the only fully funded programs in this budget are the Republican supermajority’s ongoing crusade to transfer public dollars into private pockets.

    This budget is not a win for Hoosiers. The only impact the majority of Hoosiers will feel is their roads, their public schools and their health care systems being abandoned while the supermajority’s pet projects get more than their fair share of funding. This is unacceptable and a slap in the face to hard-working Hoosiers in need of a hand up – which is why I chose to vote no on this year’s budget.

EWSU to Switch Water Disinfectant Starting May 22 Until July 10

0

(EVANSVILLE, IN) – Starting Monday, May 22, some Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) customers may notice a slight change in the taste and odor of their tap water. The change is related to a temporary switch in the disinfectant that is used in the water treatment process to ensure the delivery of high-quality, safe drinking water to EWSU customers.

The switch to free chlorine from the regularly used disinfectant chloramine will begin on

Monday, May 22, and continue until Monday, July 10. EWSU switches disinfectants twice a year. The second switchover will be from August 28 until October 16. Many water utilities use this common preventive maintenance practice to keep water mains clean and free of potentially harmful bacteria throughout the year.

Here’s what you should know

  • What is Chloramine?

Chloramine is a disinfectant used in drinking water to remove bacteria and viruses that can make you sick. It is made up of chlorine and ammonia. EWSU has used chloramine as the disinfectant in its water treatment process since 1999.

  • What is Free Chlorine?

Free chlorine is a slightly more potent disinfectant than chloramine, and it is used to remove more resistant bacteria and viruses that may be found in the water distribution system.

  • Why would EWSU Convert from Chloramines to Free Chlorine?

State drinking water guidelines recommend that utilities using chloramine periodically switch to free chlorine for a while. The temporary use of chlorine will ensure that a proper disinfectant level is maintained throughout the network of water mains and pipes that deliver your drinking water.

Free chlorine is a more aggressive disinfectant than chloramine. This temporary change in the water treatment process denies bacteria the ability to form resistance to the usual disinfection treatment process. Switching to free chlorine is a proactive step to maintain optimal disinfectant levels in the water distribution system.

As always, the drinking water will be regularly monitored to ensure that the water delivered meets or exceeds federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards.

  • Why Does EWSU Use Chloramines Most of the Year?

While chlorine is an effective disinfectant, chlorine alone creates byproducts that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates. These byproduct levels can be significantly and cost-effectively reduced through the use of chloramine. Also, chloramine has less smell than chlorine and remains in the distribution system longer to prevent bacterial growth. As such, chloramine is a better long-term choice as a regular disinfectant.

  • Will I Notice a Difference in My Water?

During this period, some customers may notice a slight change in the taste or odor of their tap water. Free chlorine may have more of a chemical odor, slightly like that of swimming pool water. Each customer has their sensitivity level to the taste or odor of free chlorine. Many detect no change at all. The mild chlorine taste and odor are typical and pose no health risk.

  • Are Free Chlorine and Chloraminated Water Safe?

Yes, chlorine and chloramine are effective and safe for people and animals for drinking, cooking, bathing, watering the garden, and all other standard uses. However, precautions should be taken to remove or neutralize chloramine and free chlorine during the kidney dialysis process, when preparing water for fish tanks and ponds, and businesses requiring highly processed water. A dichlorination procedure optimized for chloramine removal will work equally well with free chlorine.

People and businesses that typically take special precautions to remove chloramine from tap water (such as dialysis centers, medical facilities, and aquatic pet owners) should continue to take the same precautions during the temporary switch from chloramine to free chlorine.

Most customers will not need to take precautions as the water remains safe to drink and is treated according to state and federal standards.

  • Information for Kidney Dialysis Patients

Just like chloramines, free chlorine must be removed from water used in kidney dialysis machines. EWSU has contacted representatives from the medical community to inform them of this temporary conversion. We advise dialysis patients to call their physicians or dialysis centers if there are any questions.

  • Information for Fish Owners

Like chloramine, free chlorine is toxic to fish. Therefore, fish owners need to remove chlorine, ammonia, and chloramine from the water before using it with tropical fish. Local pet stores carry water conditioners that remove chloramine and free chlorine. If customers have questions, we recommend contacting their pet store for information and detailed instructions.
