Title
An Ordinance authorizing the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri to waive the Lee's Summit Housing Authority's Payment in Lieu of Taxes for the Authority's fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 in the estimated amount of $33,874.16. (F&BC 3/8/22)

Body
Issue/Request:
The City is considering the recurring annual request of the Lee's Summit Housing Authority to waive the Authority's Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) payment for the Authority's fiscal year that ended September 30, 2021, in the estimated amount of $33,874.16.

Background:
The Lee's Summit Housing Authority is a tax-exempt agency that operates the 116 units at Lee Haven and Duncan Estates housing developments, to provide low-income housing for residents of the City. The Authority is primarily dependent on U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for funding. The City and the Lee's Summit Housing Authority have an agreement that requires the Authority to make a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) to the City each year equal to the lesser of (i) 10% of the total of the total rental payments minus utility expenses or (ii) the Authority's estimated County property taxes.

For more than 15 years, the Housing Authority has requested the City waive the PILOT payment in order to use the monies to maintain and improve the facilities and keep costs as low as possible for its residents.

The Lee's Summit Housing Authority has requested the City waive the 2021 PILOT payment in the estimated amount of $33,874.16.

Proposed Committee Motion: I move to recommend to the City Council for approval an Ordinance authorizing the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri to waive the Lee's Summit Housing Authority's payment in lieu of taxes for the Authority's fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 in the estimated amount of $33,874.16.
