Revision 1, 2026-02-24T18:12:00Z, by PortageRoute.
+ = Super TIF Advisory Committee =
+ On '''October 21, 2025''' the [[CityCommission]] adopted Resolution 10609, establishing a consolidated "Super" [[TaxIncrementFinancing]] Advisory Committee to serve as the advisory and recommending body for '''all five''' City TIF districts: the [[DowntownUrbanRenewalDistrict]], the West Bank Urban Renewal District, the East Industrial Park District, the Central Montana Agri-Tech Park Industrial District and the Great Falls International Airport Industrial District.
+ = Why it exists =
+ During the 2025 legislative session Montana adopted '''Senate Bill 3''', amending MCA 7-15-4234 and 7-15-4282 to require any municipality using tax increment financing to establish a formally appointed advisory committee to guide the administration of an urban renewal area or targeted economic development district. Consolidating the districts under one committee was the City's answer: it ensures compliance, gives consistency across districts, and allows broad representation.
+ = Membership =
+ Five to seven voting members appointed by the City Commission on staggered four-year terms. Members must be City residents and qualified electors, and may not be City employees or elected officials. SB 3 requires at least one representative from [[CascadeCounty]] government and one from Great Falls Public Schools District No. 1, both of whose boundaries overlap the districts. The initial membership was staggered: one member for one year, one for two, one for three and two for four.
+ Community partners including the Downtown Development Partnership and the Great Falls Airport Advisory Board may give advisory input, expressly limited to input and not voting membership.
+ Appointments were made at [[CityCommission2025-12-16]] and [[CityCommission2026-02-17]].
