PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Michael Hagberg Mr. Hagberg stated on May 21, 2018 he commented on TIF 16 only having $164,000 in the fund with claims of $284,000 and about to approve another project for $200,000. The administration assured him and the aldermen that the funding was coming from this year's property taxes and a grant reimbursement. Yet, the treasurer's report was printed a week later and shows that PAGE 1 OF 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 18, 2018 $250,000 was transferred from TIF 3 to TIF 16. This transfer of funds comes without being presented nor approved by the city council. Government is designed as a series of checks and balances. How is a treasurer to verify fund balances when the administration is transferring funds without council approval. By blinding accepting the actions of others you are failing taxpayers who voted you into office. The administration lied to him and the aldermen about taking money from TIF 3. Let's get the $200,000 transferred back to TIF 3 where it belongs and can be used repairing streets.
