Kopel seeks opinion on Cedar Rapids bond refinancing
Linn County Auditor Merle Kopel asks the county attorney whether Cedar Rapids may use the 1966 base value in the Five Seasons Center tax increment financing district or the 1978 amended district value when computing the tax increment for refinancing the center bonds. If the 1978 value applies, the 1966 area would shift to county and school district tax rolls, affecting interest costs. The request accompanies a March 26 council resolution to issue 6.335 million in general obligation bonds to retire old debt and fund possible public projects, with market stability and no tax money involved. The TIF district freezes base values and uses increments to pay the center’s bonds.
