Wild Oak developers will seek extension of TID deal

Talk about it

Developers of the property around the Wild Oak Golf Course will ask the Davison County commissioners on Tuesday to approve a 10-year extension to the county’s original tax increment financing agreement.

The commissioners will meet in regular session at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners’ Room at the courthouse, 200 E. Fourth Ave., Mitchell.

County Tax Increment District district No. 1 was created around 2004, said Deputy State’s Attorney Jim Taylor, to pay for infrastructure that would accommodate residential development around the golf course.

The development, which is a joint venture between Firesteel Links LLC and Puetz Corp., has since been annexed into the city of Mitchell.

The project did not sell as quickly as expected, explained Taylor, and the developers will be asking the county, which originally approved TID No. 1, to extend the original agreement another 10 years.

Taylor said the Mitchell City Council may also be asked to sign off on the time extension amendment.

The agenda also includes:

• 9 a.m. Call to order, approval of past meeting minutes, citizen input.

• 9:30 a.m. Corrections Administrator Don Radel about a part-time hire and county contracts.

• 9:45 a.m. Sheriff Steve Brink regarding federal overtime.

• 9:50 a.m. Maintenance Supervisor Mark Ruml with an update on hail damage to a pole barn located north of the county Public Safety Building on Miller Avenue.

• 10 a.m. Deputy States Attorney Jim Taylor and Mitchell attorney Don Petersen regarding an amendment to Davison County TID No.1.

• 10:20 a.m. Community Family Planning Nurse Natalie Van Drongelen concerning WIC training.

• 10:30 a.m. Mike Dittmer, CASA program manager, regarding a “Hands Across the Courthouse” event.

• 10:40 a.m. Miscellaneous items, approval of bills.

• 10:45 a.m. Conclusion of commissioners’ courthouse tour.
