The Board will approve minutes of the last meeting, then accept public comment. After that, they will discuss the following topics:
- The Junction
At the October meeting, the developers requested that 100% of the tax increment be refunded to them, to help cover the $59 million in public improvements needed to make the development feasible. Staff has been pitching this proposal to the affected taxing entities, which include Jefferson County, Jeffco School District, Jeffco Public Library, Mile High Flood District, and the City of Golden. The County is pushing back, saying that they will have expenses resulting from the new development. They propose giving back only 88%. The City is still considering how to absorb the increased costs for fire protection, so they may also opt to refund less than 100% of the tax increment.
In a somewhat related issue, the current zoning for that property would allow them to build a data center. The URA agreement may be amended to prohibit data centers. - Nazarene property affordable housing
The housing in this GURA area will be sold to people with 30-35% AMI. The City's Affordable Housing team is working to ensure that they cannot be resold at market rate. - Miner's Haus
This project was scheduled to present at tonight's meeting, but they are not yet ready. - City Staffing Cost
Staff recommends that GURA increase the payment to the City for use of city staff from $60 to $80K, with automatic annual renewals thereafter.
