00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,360
For those who are online, for those who are with us, welcome to the Crossroads Public Infrastructure District meeting. My name is Ben Hart. I serve as the chair of this PID, and we are going to go ahead and start this meeting. I apologize for those who are expecting this to start at 2 p.m.

2
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:30,970
We had a busy agenda. Thank you to our in-lamp board for sticking with us. All right.

3
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:43,790
So we will go ahead and the first order of business we are going to administer the oath of office to Mr. Jerry Stevenson, and I believe Carol is going to we lost

4
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:46,720
Carol.

5
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,360
You did? No, you're in. That's probably sufficient.

6
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,160
I'm, Larry, if it's my discretion, I'm going to bump that item down along with the approval

7
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:10,140
of minutes until Senator Stevenson is sworn in, and I'm going to jump to item number four,

8
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:17,640
which is the Crossroads PID budget hearing fiscal year 2027 presented by, it says deputy

9
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,000
director.

10
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,940
However, Ariane actually serves as the executive director of the Crossroads PID and have

11
00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:26,180
her give us that presentation.

12
00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:41,450
Okay. Give me just one minute. I am sharing my screen with you.

13
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:51,100
Let's do the hearing first or the area's presentation. I'll do it right after that. Thank you,

14
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,260
Carol.

15
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,860
Okay. I think that's pulling up.

16
00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:00,950
Great.

17
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:14,540
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Attached here is the

18
00:02:14,540 --> 00:02:19,820
some revisions for the fiscal year 26 and the fiscal year 27. If you're looking at the

19
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:27,880
document, the first column shows fiscal year 25 actuals. Then we have the fiscal year 26

20
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:34,920
previously approved budget. That third column is the estimated actuals that are projected through

21
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:40,940
here at the end of June. And then we have the fiscal year 26 proposed revised budget

22
00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:44,640
and the fiscal year 27 proposed budget.

23
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:47,460
So those are the two columns on the far right

24
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:50,960
that you are going to be approving.

25
00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:58,620
Overall, for the Crossroads Public Infrastructure District,

26
00:02:58,820 --> 00:03:01,360
the only revenues we really see are the interest earnings

27
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,420
of the money sitting in the trust accounts,

28
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,240
mostly held in the public treasure's investment fund.

29
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,900
We do have a little bit

30
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:17,280
from the Reserve Accounts invested outside of that and with interest rates going down but also

31
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:25,320
as spending the project funds, we anticipate the interest revenues to be decreasing this next year

32
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:31,880
and they did decrease this year which is why we've adjusted down the interest earnings revenue

33
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:39,380
in the fiscal year 27 budget. If you're looking at the expenditures, we are main expenditures,

34
00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:42,140
are going to be the infrastructure and improvements.

35
00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:47,380
If you're looking to prior year, we only had about $4 million.

36
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,980
That's because we just had acquired the landfill in February and

37
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:54,980
we started remediation in May and June of last year.

38
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,120
And so we really didn't have a whole lot of expenditures.

39
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:01,880
As we've moved through this fiscal year, we had budgeted $18 million.

40
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,740
However, we're anticipating it will come in, maybe closer to $16 million.

41
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:20,460
We're still working through those final invoices and so we're just inventing the budget down a little bit closer to what we think the actual will be for fiscal year 26 and then for next fiscal year.

42
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:36,840
Working with our remediation partner, we're able to determine that we'll be spending about 12 million 12 to 15 million on the remediation efforts and then with the infrastructure needs for development.

43
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,240
and we'll have another 12 million.

44
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:43,900
So that's getting us to the 21 million you see there

45
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:46,620
that we're anticipating over next fiscal year.

46
00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:56,000
And then, sorry, that is, I said that in correctly,

47
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400
the capital outlay line is for that,

48
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,520
for the infrastructure improvements,

49
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,640
the 21 million is just for the remediation efforts.

50
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:22,580
I apologize. The bond that service were still in the interest only period on the bond and so we will be paying a $6.5 million interest only payment. We don't have any principal payments. Those will start I think in 2032.

51
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:41,920
and so overall we're just going to be utilizing down the proceeds that we have still in the bond fund available for this remediation project and any other development needs in the area.

52
00:05:44,190 --> 00:05:45,310
Any questions?

53
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:51,580
Can I ask procedurally about PIDs?

54
00:05:52,980 --> 00:05:59,080
I see the change in the fund balance is that it's going to decrease by 31 million.

55
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Is that to be expected in a PID or is there a certain amount of fund balance we need to

56
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,400
maintain so that bonding can continue with good ratings like in cities?

57
00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:15,040
Is there – can you just explain to me how that fund balance operates in a PID as opposed

58
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,000
to like a municipality?

59
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:28,880
Yeah, so this public infrastructure district was set up initially bond was issued for $150 million to do some other types of infrastructure needs in the Northwest quadrant.

60
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:38,420
However, last year when we acquired the landfill most of the proceeds had not been utilized and so we are using them for this very important project.

61
00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:43,840
We don't really have like new revenues come in.

62
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:48,260
What happens is we get the money from Salt Lake County.

63
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:58,040
And then there is a 40% pledge of those tax increment dollars that we have to send over to the PID from the Inland Port Authority.

64
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,740
And then whatever's necessary to make the debt service payments is utilized.

65
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,040
A lot of money has been sitting there.

66
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:16,940
And so it's been earning interest and so we've usually gotten about $4 million back to the inland port because it wasn't necessary to make those payments.

67
00:07:17,860 --> 00:07:26,640
So this pit is a little different because it is a blended component unit of the port, so it kind of just folds up into us.

68
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:38,740
But if you're talking about PIDs in general, they are intended to be separate, they're not usually rated entities, and so they're really just they're there to get a project done.

69
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:53,100
There may be one or two issuances that you're looking at in order to get all the infrastructure needs done in a project, but the intention is you're pledging that future tax increment that you're going to receive over 25 plus years.

70
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:59,660
And you're getting that money up front now to put in the infrastructure and then you're paying it back over time.

71
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,720
So there's not really an intention to hang on to that money.

72
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,720
You're wanting to spend it down in an ideal situation.

73
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:08,980
It would have been spent down in three years.

74
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:11,580
That's kind of the IRS rules and requirements.

75
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:19,520
So we are beyond that and so we are having our bond council do tax arbitration calculations.

76
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:39,120
but for many years we were earning less than we were paying an interest and so they look at the aggregated time period, so we last year did not have a payment that we have to make to the IRS because we were making too much an interest and I anticipate probably the same for this year.

77
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:46,380
But in future years, that may come up that we have to rebate that back.

78
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:51,300
So I know that was beyond what you were asking, but I hope that addressed it.

79
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:54,260
Yeah, you addressed the function of unbalanced.

80
00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:55,060
Thank you.

81
00:08:56,860 --> 00:08:57,540
My question.

82
00:09:00,030 --> 00:09:00,210
Okay.

83
00:09:00,470 --> 00:09:06,230
And that is just a different, certainly a different thing that we're seeking.

84
00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:06,830
Yes.

85
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:14,450
Yes, for many years, it was a positive.

86
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:20,530
I think the bonds at four and a quarter is what we're paying an interest, and for a

87
00:09:20,530 --> 00:09:24,770
couple of years there, I know just at the PTIF, we were earning over five percent.

88
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:31,010
So there is a time period that we were earning more, but there was also a decent time period

89
00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:32,130
where we weren't.

90
00:09:32,130 --> 00:09:37,210
And so they go back to the beginning of time for those calculations, and that's a weighted

91
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:44,930
daily type of calculation that they do to determine if you earn too much interest, then you

92
00:09:44,930 --> 00:09:47,750
have to pay the IRS a portion of that, not all of it.

93
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:52,090
And so if we earn more interest than we paid, it's not a bad thing.

94
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:57,310
We give a little bit to the IRS, but then we're, you know, somewhat able to use those funds

95
00:09:57,770 --> 00:09:58,210
unrestricted.

96
00:09:58,210 --> 00:09:59,410
It's probably a good thing.

97
00:10:00,630 --> 00:10:03,110
So the conclusion, Mike, of the recall.

98
00:10:03,550 --> 00:10:07,030
Yeah, I've had my question answered.

99
00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:09,330
But I was just in the arbitrage differences.

100
00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:10,130
Thank you.

101
00:10:10,490 --> 00:10:11,010
Yes.

102
00:10:13,210 --> 00:10:13,630
All right.

103
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:16,350
Any other questions from hit board members?

104
00:10:17,510 --> 00:10:18,310
Seen none.

105
00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:20,890
Let's go back up and capture item number two.

106
00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:21,650
Carol.

107
00:10:22,010 --> 00:10:26,490
Would you mind coming up to administer the oath of office to sender students

108
00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:28,610
and who's probably taking about a hundred of these different oaths?

109
00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:31,070
You want me to come down there? Do you want to come up here?

110
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:35,890
We're fine. Whatever, whatever you want to do. I'm doing it.

111
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,900
Jerry, would you please stand?

112
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,680
Raise your right hand and repeat after me. I state your name.

113
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,120
I, Jerry Stevens.

114
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,260
Do solemnly swear. Do solemnly swear.

115
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:53,240
And I will support obey and defend.

116
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,120
And I will support obey and defend.

117
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,280
The Constitution of the United States.

118
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,240
The Constitution of the United States.

119
00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:01,220
And the Constitution of the state of Utah.

120
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:12,080
And the Constitution, the best state of Utah, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity. Thank you very much. Welcome to board.

121
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,780
Thank you, Carol. Thank you, Senator, for your service.

122
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:28,660
With that, we'll go to approval of minutes for the June 26th, 2025 meeting. Can I get a motion in a second on that?

123
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,240
I would make that motion.

124
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:38,180
Thank you, Senator, do we have a second?

125
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:40,840
All right.

126
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480
And Victoria will note your vote online as well.

127
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,000
All those in favor please say aye.

128
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:46,880
Aye.

129
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:48,140
Any opposed?

130
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,200
All right.

131
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,100
We will now go ahead into the public comment portion of the meeting.

132
00:11:57,660 --> 00:12:00,440
If there is anybody who would like to make a public comment,

133
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,840
you are welcome to let us know.

134
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,740
and we're happy to hear from you.

135
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Is there anyone that wants to make a public comment?

136
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,180
I'm going to say no. No, we do not have anyone that's interested

137
00:12:15,180 --> 00:12:18,560
in making a public comment, so that will end our public comment period,

138
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,940
which now leads us to our action items.

139
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,380
We have just one item before us.

140
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,660
And I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I'll go ahead and make a motion or read a motion, not make it.

141
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:35,600
The motion would be to adopt a resolution number 2026-1,

142
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,720
adopting fiscal year 2026 amended in fiscal year 2027 tentative budgets we

143
00:12:47,450 --> 00:12:47,690
have a

144
00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:52,570
first from Amy thank you Amy do we have a second we have a second from

145
00:12:52,570 --> 00:12:57,470
Senator Stevenson all right with a first and a second all those in favor please

146
00:12:57,470 --> 00:13:06,820
say aye is there anyone who is opposed all right seeing none we roll the motion

147
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:11,580
passes unanimously and that is our agenda for today does someone want to make a

148
00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:12,140
final motion.

149
00:13:13,340 --> 00:13:14,580
Welcome to a term.

150
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:15,400
Beautiful.

151
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,160
We're done.

152
00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:17,100
Thank you, Senator.

153
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:17,800
Appreciate it.
