Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903-1997 Re: TIF Advisory Board Dear Mayor and Council Members: I would like to express my interest in serving on the City of Kalispell's newly created Tax Increment Financing Advisory Board. As a member of the city's business community, I realize the impact that these funds can have on our overall economic situation. These districts are one of the few effective tools at the city's disposal to positively affect the greater community in the long term by generating increased revenues from increased economic development. I would appreciate the opportunity to work with the Council and city staff to educate the business community on Tax Increment Financing options and promote the program to develop some viable projects that meet the Council's requirements for using these funds. This advisory board also presents the business community with a valuable opportunity to provide the city government feedback on what it would like to see happen in our community. It is my understanding that the majority of the Council members realize the benefit of TIF districts and would like to see them used to their full potential. The most immediate opportunity would be to extend the life of the current Westside TIF district keeping the entire $1.8 million balance available to fund worthy projects and possibly expand or redesign its boundaries to address the area's future development potential. If selected, I would be honored to serve the community and the City of Kalispell. Respectfully, Scott P.
