66.1105(4)(h)10.10. Notwithstanding the limitation in subd. 2., the planning commission in the city of Wausau may adopt an amendment to a project plan under subd. 1. to modify the boundaries of Tax Incremental District Number 3 not more than 5 times during the district’s existence. A single amendment to a project plan that both adds and subtracts territory shall be counted under this subdivision as one amendment of a project plan. 66.1105(4)(h)11.11. Notwithstanding the limitation in subd. 2., the planning commission may at any time during the district’s existence, by resolution, adopt an amendment to a project plan under subd. 1., to modify the district’s boundaries by subtracting territory from the district in a way that does not remove contiguity from the district or by adding territory to the district that is contiguous to the district and that is served by public works or improvements that were created as part of the district’s project plan if during the district’s existence, the annual and total amount of tax increments to be generated over the life of the district are adversely impacted by 2013 Wisconsin Act 145. 66.1105(4)(i)(i) The local legislative body shall provide the joint review board with the following information and projections: 66.1105(4)(i)1.1.

The amount of the value increment when the project costs in subd. 1. are paid in full and the tax incremental district is terminated. 66.1105(4)(i)3.3.

(am) and the limitations in this subsection, a city may designate a tax incremental district that it created before October 1, 2008, as a distressed or severely distressed tax incremental district if all of the following occur or apply: 66.1105(4e)(a)1.1. The local legislative body adopts a resolution finding that its project costs incurred, with regard to the tax incremental district, exceed the amount of revenues from all sources that the city expects the district to generate to pay off such project costs during the life of the district. 66.1105(4e)(a)2.2. The clerk of the local legislative body certifies the resolution and forwards a copy of the certified resolution and a copy of all of the financial data that the local legislative body used in the adoption process under subd. 1. to the department of revenue and the joint review board. 66.1105(4e)(a)3.3. Subject to par. (e), the planning commission amends the district’s project plan under sub. (4) (h) 1. to reflect the district’s distressed status. 66.1105(4e)(a)5.5.

(a), a district must meet all of the conditions under par. (a) and its value increment in any year must have declined at least 25 percent from the district’s highest value increment determined by the department of revenue over the course of the district’s life. The joint review board may request that the department of revenue certify that a district meets the decline in value increment percentage described in this paragraph. 66.1105(4e)(b)1.1. Adoption of a resolution under par. (a) 1. shall be preceded by a public hearing held by the common council at which interested parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to express their views on the proposed designation of a distressed, or severely distressed, tax incremental district. Notice of the hearing shall be published as a class 2 notice under ch. 985. The notice shall describe the resolution and shall advise that a copy of the resolution will be provided on request. The notice shall also explain that the life of a distressed tax incremental district may be extended, that it may receive excess tax increments from a donor district, and that the life of the donor district may be extended to provide such increments. Before publication, a copy of the notice shall be sent to the chief executive officer or administrator of all local governmental entities having the power to levy taxes on property within the district and to the school board of any school district that includes property located within the proposed district. For a county with no chief executive officer or administrator, this notice shall be sent to the county board chairperson.

66.1105(4e)(b)2.2. Following receipt of the resolution and the financial data under par. (a) 2., the joint review board shall evaluate the resolution and data to determine whether the designation of the district as a distressed, or severely distressed, district or the sharing of tax increments by a donor district with the distressed, or severely distressed, district is likely to enhance the ability of the city to pay its project costs related to the district within the time specified in par.

Notwithstanding the time limits and other provisions for termination under sub. (7), a donor tax incremental district under sub. (6) (d), (dm), (e), and (f) may share tax increments with a distressed, or severely distressed, district until the earlier of the following occurs: 66.1105(4e)(d)3.b.b.

With regard to a multijurisdictional tax incremental district created under this section, each public member of a participating city must be part of the majority that votes for approval of the resolution or the district may not be created. The board may not approve the resolution under this subdivision unless the board’s approval contains a positive assertion that, in its judgment, the development described in the documents the board has reviewed under subd. 1. would not occur without the creation of a tax incremental district. The board may not approve the resolution under this subdivision unless the board finds that, with regard to a tax incremental district that is proposed to be created by a city under sub. (17) (a), such a district would be the only existing district created under that subsection by that city. 66.1105(4m)(b)2m.2m. For a tax incremental district created after December 31, 2024, at the time of approval under subd. 2., the board shall establish the year of expected termination of the tax incremental district. 66.1105(4m)(b)3.3.

(4e) (b) 3., a majority of the members of the board may request that the department of revenue review the objective facts contained in any of the documents listed in subd. 1., or sub. (4e) (a) 2. to determine whether the information submitted to the board complies with this section or whether any of the information contains a factual inaccuracy. The request must be in writing and must specify which particular objective fact or item the members believe is incomplete or inaccurate. Not later than 10 working days after receiving a request that complies with the requirements of this subdivision, the department of revenue shall investigate the issues raised in the request and shall send its written response to the board. If the department of revenue determines that the information in the proposal does not comply with this section or contains a factual inaccuracy, the department shall return the proposal to the city. The board shall request, but may not require, that the city resolve the problems in its proposal and resubmit the proposal to the board. If the city resubmits its proposal, the board shall review the resubmitted proposal and vote to approve or deny the proposal as specified in this paragraph. 66.1105(4m)(b)4m.4m. The board shall notify prospectively the governing body of every local governmental unit that is not represented on the board, and that has power to levy taxes on the property within the tax incremental district, of meetings of the board and of the agendas of each meeting for which notification is given. 66.1105(4m)(c)1.1. The board shall base its decision to approve or deny a proposal on the following criteria: 66.1105(4m)(c)1.a.a.

The application shall state the percentage of territory within the tax incremental district which the local legislative body estimates will be devoted to retail business at the end of the maximum expenditure period specified in sub. (6) (am) 1. if that estimate is at least 35 percent. Subject to sub.
