The City of Waukee, State of Iowa is the local public agency which, if such Amendment

Amendment. To accomplish the objectives of the Amendment, and to encourage the further
economic development of the Urban Renewal Area, the Amendment provides that such special
financing activities may include, but not be limited to, the making of loans or grants of public
funds to private entities under Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa. The City also may reimburse

the costs of urban renewal projects may be sought if and to the extent incurred by the City. The
Amendment initially proposes no specific public infrastructure or site improvements to be
undertaken by the City, and provides that the Amendment may be amended from time to time.
The proposed Amendment No. 1 would update the list of eligible projects to be included
within the Area. The proposed Amendment adds no new land. Other provisions of the Plan not

Any person or organization desiring to be heard shall be afforded an opportunity to be
