Section 3. Tax increment allocation financing is hereby adopted for the Phase XIV Redevelopment Project Area. After the total equalized assessed valuation of the taxable real property in the Phase XIV Redevelopment Project Area exceeds the certified total initial equalized assessed value of all taxable real property in such Redevelopment Project Area, the ad valorem taxes and payments in lieu of taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon taxable real property in such Redevelopment Project Area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided in Sub- section 2 of Section 99.855, RSMo, each year after the effective date of this Ordinance until redevelopment project costs have been paid shall be divided as follows:

(1) That portion of taxes levied upon each taxable lot,

block, or parcel of real property which is attributable to the initial equalized assessed value of each such taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the Phase XIV Redevelopment Project Area shall be allocated to and, when collected, shall be paid by the Clay County Collector and the
City Treasurer to the respective affected taxing districts in the manner required by law in the absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation financing;

(2) Payments in lieu of taxes attributable to the

increase in the current equalized assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the Phase XIV Redevelopment Project Area over and above the initial equalized assessed value of each such unit of property in the Phase XIV Redevelopments Project Area shall be allocated to and, when collected, shall be paid to the City Treasurer, who shall deposit such payments in lieu of taxes into the Special Allocation Fund of the City for the purpose of paying redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in the payment thereof.

Section 4. Pursuant to Section 99.835, RSMo, if the City issues obligations secured by the Special Allocation Fund to carry out the redevelopment project, the City may pledge all or any part of the funds in the Special Allocation Fund to the payment of the redevelopment projects costs and obligations. Any pledge of funds in the Special Allocation Fund may provide for distribution to the taxing districts of moneys not required for payment and securing of the obligations, and such excess shall be deemed to be surplus funds. The Redevelopment Plan calls for all or part of the pay- ments in lieu of taxes attributable to certain redevelopment project area phases to be treated as surplus funds to the extent such moneys are not required for payment and securing of the obligations. Such surplus funds shall be distributed annually to the taxing districts in the redevelopment project area by being paid by the City Treasurer to the Clay County Collector, who shall immediately thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the Collector to the affected districts of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment project area.
