    That Administration prepare for the September 2, 2009, CityCouncil meeting, a City Policy for a Revolving ServicesFund for commercial development, similar to the onepresently being proposed to facilitate the development ofindustrial land, based on the following:

    1. The City would agree to assist an eligible front-endingdeveloper in recovering its cost-sharing rebates throughthe Revolving Servicing Fund. Within 36 months ofsigning a servicing agreement with the City and uponcompletion of the building facility and the cost sharinginfrastructure, the front-ending developer will qualify toreceive this rebate from the Revolving Servicing Fund ifthose recoveries have not yet been received from otherdevelopers in the area.

    empty lots.

    3. A rebate under the Revolving Servicing Fund would beavailable to developers that meet the following criteria:

    I. Undertaking eligible front-end construction ofinfrastructure servicing.

    II. Agreeing to construct an end-user developmentproject that must increase the taxable propertyassessment on the lands being serviced by at least$10 million.

    III. Entering into a servicing agreement with the City ofEdmonton.

    IV. Scheduling to complete the project within 36 months.

    4. The Revolving Servicing Fund would be administered byPlanning and Development Department as a componentof the developers servicing agreement.

    5. The total allocated funds being proposed for theRevolving Servicing Fund is $20 million. The fundwould resource rebates to developers provided that theyhave met the criteria of the fund and provided that theyhave not received their rebates from subsequentdevelopers. If the City advances the recovery of front-ending costs through the Revolving Servicing Fund, theCity will then recover the advanced funds (with interest)from the subsequent developers. Funds that arerecovered by the City from subsequent developers willgo back into the Revolving Servicing Fund, which would

    then be re-allocated to provide rebates to otherdevelopments. However, the revolving component ofthe fund would be only for a limited time.

    6. In addition, the City would, through budget allocations,use 50% of the incremental property tax revenues fromthe end user developments to either pay down anyRevolving Servicing Fund debt accumulated, and wheredebt has been repaid, the 50% of the incrementalproperty tax revenues from the end user developmentswould be deposited into the Revolving Servicing FundReserve Account to a maximum amount of $20 million.

    7. Such a fund would ensure that as a result of the currenteconomic conditions, non-residential City growth is notunduly impacted and remains competitive regionally,that greater private sector investment/development isprimed, and that the City will continue to receive muchneeded tax revenue.
