Development
That Administration prepare for the September 2, 2009, City
Council meeting, a City Policy for a Revolving Services
Due: Sep. 2/09
Fund for commercial development, similar to the one
presently being proposed to facilitate the development of City Council
industrial land, based on the following:
1. The City would agree to assist an eligible front-ending
developer in recovering its cost-sharing rebates through
the Revolving Servicing Fund. Within 36 months of
signing a servicing agreement with the City and upon
completion of the building facility and the cost sharing
infrastructure, the front-ending developer will qualify to
receive this rebate from the Revolving Servicing Fund if
those recoveries have not yet been received from other
developers in the area.
2. This proposed arrangement provides an incentive for
developers to seek out end-users rather than developing

Executive Committee Minutes | July 15, 2009, nr 13 of 18


empty lots. E.17. cont.
3. A rebate under the Revolving Servicing Fund would be
available to developers that meet the following criteria:
I. Undertaking eligible front-end construction of
infrastructure servicing.
II. Agreeing to construct an “end-user development”
project that must increase the taxable property
assessment on the lands being serviced by at least
$10 million.
III. Entering into a servicing agreement with the City of
Edmonton.
IV. Scheduling to complete the project within 36 months.
4. The Revolving Servicing Fund would be administered by
Planning and Development Department as a component
of the developer’s servicing agreement.
5. The total allocated funds being proposed for the
Revolving Servicing Fund is $20 million. The fund
would resource rebates to developers provided that they
have met the criteria of the fund and provided that they
have not received their rebates from subsequent
developers. If the City advances the recovery of front-
ending costs through the Revolving Servicing Fund, the
City will then recover the advanced funds (with interest)
from the subsequent developers. Funds that are
recovered by the City from subsequent developers will
go back into the Revolving Servicing Fund, which would
then be re-allocated to provide rebates to other
developments. However, the ‘revolving’ component of
the fund would be only for a limited time.
6. In addition, the City would, through budget allocations,
use 50% of the incremental property tax revenues from
the end user developments to either pay down any
Revolving Servicing Fund debt accumulated, and where
debt has been repaid, the 50% of the incremental
property tax revenues from the end user developments
would be deposited into the Revolving Servicing Fund
Reserve Account to a maximum amount of $20 million.
7. Such a fund would ensure that as a result of the current
economic conditions, non-residential City growth is not
unduly impacted and remains competitive regionally,
that greater private sector investment/development is
primed, and that the City will continue to receive much
needed tax revenue.
