Downtown TIF funds: collected but unaccounted since 2017
Summary
The committee's first job is figuring out how much TIF money has accrued since 2017, what's been spent, and whether the committee has any say in future spending. The health department rep and others asked whether the committee even has oversight authority — that question was punted to the city attorney.

Impact analysis
Potentially millions of TIF dollars collected since 2017 have accumulated with no committee review of how they've been spent.
Downtown property owners and taxing jurisdictions would benefit from clear accounting and a plan for the remaining TIF funds.
Taxing jurisdictions lose tax revenue to the TIF until it expires (TIF One now shown terminating in 2028 rather than 2018).
