The scope of this First Amendment is limited to addressing the deannexation of certain parcels from the North Highway District Project Area. It is important to note this First Amendment to the Plan does not extend the Plan’s duration. The Plan terminates on December 31, 2021; however, revenue allocation proceeds will be received in 2022 pursuant to Idaho Code § 50-2905(7). As a result of the deannexation, in 2020 through the remaining years of the Plan, the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Rexburg, Idaho, also known as the Rexburg Redevelopment Agency (the “Agency”) will cease receiving an allocation of revenues from the deannexed parcels. The increment value of the parcels deannexed from the North Highway District Project Area shall be included in the net taxable value of the taxing district when calculating the subsequent property tax levies pursuant to section 63-803, Idaho Code. The increment value shall also be included in subsequent notification of taxable value for each taxing district pursuant to section 63-1312, Idaho Code, and subsequent certification of actual and adjusted market values for each school district pursuant to section 63-315, Idaho Code. The Madison County Assessor’s Office maintains the value information, including the increment value, if any, included on the new construction roll for new construction associated with the deannexed parcels. The amount added to the new construction roll will equal the amount by which the December 31, 2019, increment value exceeds the increment value as of December 31, 2006. Currently, the revenue allocation proceeds from the deannexed parcels secure repayment of that certain Revenue Allocation Refunding Bond, Series 2016 (North Highway District Project) in the principal amount of up to $2,553,070.03, with a maturity date of September 1, 2022 (the “Bond”), purchased by The Bank of Commerce, Ammon, Idaho (the “Bank”). The deannexation of certain parcels within the boundaries of the North Highway District Project Area by adoption of the First Amendment results in a reduction in the revenue allocation proceeds received by the Agency and pledged to the Bank in that certain Bond Purchase and Security Agreement, dated October 13, 2016 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”). The Bank has consented to the deannexation in writing by letter to the Agency dated April 8, 2020. House Bill 606, effective July 1, 2016, amended the Local Economic Development Act, Chapter 29, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended (the “Act”) firmly establishing “[f]or plans adopted or modified prior to July 1, 2016, and for subsequent modifications of those urban renewal plans, the value of the base assessment roll of property within the revenue allocation area shall be determined as if the modification had not occurred.” Idaho Code § 50-2903(4). Though the provisions of Idaho Code § 50-2903A do not apply to the Plan, a plan amendment or modification to accommodate a de-annexation in the revenue allocation boundary is a specifically identified exception to a base reset. Idaho Code § 50-2903A(1)(a)(iii). This highlights the legislative support for these types of amendments. AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN Definitions.
