8. Council Bill/Resolution 1052-2018
A Resolution authorizing the ceding of 2018 Home Rule Volume Cap. (Kathy Carr, Finance Director)
Explanation: Under Section 146 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the City is allocated an annual per capita amount for private activity bond use, which in 2018 totals $4,565,715. The Illinois Private Activity Bond Allocation Act provides that a home rule unit of government may transfer its allocation to any other home rule unit of government, the State of Illinois or any agency of the State, or any non-home rule unit of government.
The City Council has adopted a Volume Cap Policy regarding the use, transfer, or reservation of the City’s volume cap allocation. The policy, along with the history of Moline’s allocations, is included in the attachment.
Private Activity Bonds (PABs) are tax exempt bonds issued on behalf of certain businesses engaged in manufacture or production of tangible personal property. A wide variety of businesses can qualify under the guidelines to finance the acquisition of fixed assets such as land, buildings, or equipment. They may also be used for renovation and new construction, as well as construction or renovation of residential units that meet income guidelines. Because the bonds are exempt from federal income tax, they typically command competitive interest rates and may be combined with other tax credit programs to stimulate projects.
The Quad Cities Regional Economic Development Authority (QCREDA) is the only agency to request the City’s 2018 Volume Cap and has a mutually beneficial relationship with the City, County, and other regional development authorities to best utilize this resource for the benefit of the region.
If the City does not obligate this allocation by May 1, it is automatically turned over to the State of Illinois for reallocation to other entities statewide. Additional documentation attached.

10. Council Bill/Resolution 1054-2018
A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Subordination Agreement for a Mortgage held against 425 18th Street, Moline, through the Façade Program; and authorizing City staff to do any and all things necessary to fulfill the terms of the Mortgage held against 425 18th Street, Moline.
Explanation: The City currently has a recorded Mortgage against that property for a façade grant that was given to Bermes Properties Incorporated. Through the Façade Program, the loan is forgivable after five years with the condition that the property stay maintained until 2022, when the loan is expected to be forgiven. Staff is comfortable with subordinating given the fact that the City will remain in second position, while taking into consideration that there is still sufficient equity in the building in the event the loan defaults prior to 2022. Approval of this item would authorize execution of the Subordination Agreement for 425 18th Street and allow staff to do any and all things necessary to fulfill the terms of the period of the
Mortgage. Additional documentation attached.
