Title
APPROVING THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MARGATE AND THE MARGATE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REGARDING ADJUSTMENT OF THE TAX INCREMENT FUND DEPOSIT FROM 95% TO 80% OF THE STATUTORY INCREMENT REVENUES; PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENT TO THE ILA FOR CONTRIBUTION, SERVICES, AND COMPENSATION TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ILA REGARDING REQUIRED TIF CONTRIBUTIONS WITHOUT FURTHER MCRA BOARD ACTION

This resolution provides for adjusting the amount, beginning October 1, 2025, until sunset of the MCRA, from 95 percent to 80 percent of the Statutory Increment Revenues to better ensure provision of general government services to the City and the Community Redevelopment Area.
The resolution will also serve to amend the ILA for Contribution, Services, and Compensation between the City and MCRA, specifically Article II, in order to ensure consistency with the terms of this ILA without further Board action.
