5.29. Waiver of Payment Resolution - Community Development: Resolution
No. 2007-R0392 approving a waiver of Payment in Lieu of Taxes for 2007
pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement dated August 24, 1995, amended
April 24, 2003, for the Lubbock Housing Authority.
In April 2003, City Council amended the cooperation agreement with the
Lubbock Housing Authority dated August 24, 1995, concerning the "Payment
in Lieu of Taxes" (PILOT). This amendment allows City Council to
reconsider the request to waive the PILOT on an annual basis. Approval will
be based on previous year's use of the waived taxes to ensure the funds were
used on affordable housing projects. A review of the use of funds will be
conducted each year.
The City has conducted the annual review and proper documentation was
presented to show that the funds were used to enhance the activities of the
Lubbock Housing Authority.
FISCAL IMPACT
The waiver of the PILOT will save the Lubbock Housing Authority $31,690
in FY 2007-08.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.
