public to halt property value deterioration and increase property

tax valuation where possible in its business district, to eliminate

the causes of that deterioration, and to promote economic growth,

the governing body may, by resolution, declare its intention to

create and provide for the operation of an authority.

(2) In the resolution of intent, the governing body shall set

a date for the holding of a public hearing on the adoption of a

proposed ordinance creating the authority and designating the

boundaries of the downtown district. Notice of the public hearing

shall be published twice in a newspaper of general circulation in

the municipality, not less than 20 or more than 40 days before the

date of the hearing. Not less than 20 days before the hearing, the

governing body proposing to create the authority shall also mail

notice of the hearing to the property taxpayers of record in the

proposed district and for a public hearing to be held after

February 15, 1994 to the governing body of each taxing jurisdiction

levying taxes that would be subject to capture if the authority is

established and a tax increment financing plan is approved.

Beginning June 1, 2005, the notice of hearing within the time frame

described in this subsection shall be mailed by certified mail to

the governing body of each taxing jurisdiction levying taxes that

would be subject to capture if the authority is established and a

tax increment financing plan is approved. Failure of a property

taxpayer to receive the notice shall not invalidate these

proceedings. Notice of the hearing shall be posted in at least 20

date, time, and place of the hearing, and shall describe the

a copy of a resolution rescinding that resolution is filed with

that clerk. If a separate millage for public library purposes was

levied before January 1, 2017, and all obligations and other

protected obligations of the authority are paid, then the levy is

exempt from capture under this act, unless the library board or

commission allows all or a portion of its taxes levied to be

included as tax increment revenues and subject to capture under

this act under the terms of a written agreement between the library

board or commission and the authority. The written agreement shall

be filed with the clerk of the municipality. However, if a separate

millage for public library purposes was levied before January 1,

2017, and the authority alters or amends the boundaries of a

downtown district or extends the duration of the existing finance

plan, then the library board or commission may, not later than 60

days after a public hearing is held under this subsection, exempt

all or a portion of its taxes from capture by adopting a resolution

to that effect and filing a copy with the clerk of the municipality

that created the authority. For ad valorem property taxes or

specific local taxes attributable to those ad valorem property

taxes levied for a separate millage for public library purposes

approved by the electors after December 31, 2016, a library board

or commission may allow all or a portion of its taxes levied to be

included as tax increment revenues and subject to capture under

this act under the terms of a written agreement between the library

board or commission and the authority. The written agreement shall

be filed with the clerk of the municipality. However, if the

library was created under section 1 or 10a of 1877 PA 164, MCL

397.201 and 397.210a, or established under 1869 LA 233, then any

action of the library board or commission under this subsection

shall have the concurrence of the chief executive officer of the

city that created the library to be effective, and, if the action

of the library board or commission involves any bond issued by this

state or a state agency, the concurrence of the state treasurer.

(4) Not less than 60 days after the public hearing, if the

governing body of the municipality intends to proceed with the

establishment of the authority, it shall adopt, by majority vote of

its members, an ordinance establishing the authority and

designating the boundaries of the downtown district within which

the authority shall exercise its powers. The adoption of the

ordinance is subject to any applicable statutory or charter

provisions in respect to the approval or disapproval by the chief

executive or other officer of the municipality and the adoption of

an ordinance over his or her veto. This ordinance shall be filed

with the secretary of state promptly after its adoption and shall

be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in

the municipality.

(5) The governing body of the municipality may alter or amend

the boundaries of the downtown district to include or exclude lands

from the downtown district pursuant to the same requirements for

adopting the ordinance creating the authority.

into an agreement with an adjoining municipality that has created

an authority to jointly operate and administer those authorities

under an interlocal agreement under the urban cooperation act of

1967, 1967 (Ex Sess) PA 7, MCL 124.501 to 124.512.

(7) A municipality that has created an authority may enter

into an agreement with a qualified township to operate its
