FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning, Department of Transportation and the Department of Revenue each assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their respective agencies.



Officials from the Department of Economic Development and the City of Kansas City did not respond to our request for fiscal impact.



Oversight assumes this proposal would result in an offset to the City of Kansas City, a potential increase in the sales tax collections to be used for 'transportation purposes' and a corresponding decrease in potential new taxes available for the TIF redevelopment projects. DOR reports that in FY 2002, it distributed over $121 million to the City of Kansas City for local sales taxes and local option use taxes. Oversight has no way of estimating the amount of transportation sales taxes may be utilized by Kansas City for transportation purposes instead of TIF redevelopment projects as a result of this proposal, and therefore, have reflected the amount as 'unknown'.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.





DESCRIPTION



This proposal excludes from TIF (tax increment financing) any transportation sales tax passed in Kansas City. The proposal will prevent TIF from applying to the recently passed Kansas City ATA tax. This change will prevent revenue from the transportation sales tax from being used to fund the TIF revenue stream used to pay TIF bonds.



The proposal has an emergency clause.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
