Piper Sandler's Benji Becker described public infrastructure districts as stand-alone financing districts that issue bonds for public infrastructure, repaid from revenue within district boundaries. Concerns in the work session included resident notification, bond default risk, reimbursement fairness, higher rates for rental properties and effects on affordability and resale. Council Members Colby Curtis, Brett Wright and Carolyn Love opposed districts for residential development; City Attorney Jeremy Cook said the council can deny a district for any reason, and City Administrator Paul Jerome suggested any future policy include an economic development component. Love moved to table the policy entirely.
