Sec. 14.
(1) The municipal and county treasurers shall transmit to the authority tax increment revenues.
(2) The authority shall expend the tax increment revenues received for the development program only in accordance with the tax increment financing plan. Surplus funds may be retained by the authority for the payment of the principal of and interest on outstanding tax increment bonds or for other purposes that, by resolution of the board, are determined to further the development program. Any surplus funds not so used shall revert proportionately to the respective taxing bodies. These revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing property tax laws or a local charter that provides a maximum authorized rate for levy of property taxes. The governing body may abolish the tax increment financing plan when it finds that the purposes for which the plan was established are accomplished. However, the tax increment finance plan shall not be abolished until the principal of and interest on bonds issued pursuant to section 15 have been paid or funds sufficient to make the payment have been segregated.
(3) The authority shall submit annually to the governing body and the state tax commission a financial report on the status of the tax increment financing plan. The report shall include the following:
(a) The amount and source of tax increments received.
(b) The amount in any bond reserve account.
(c) The amount and purpose of expenditures of tax increment revenues.
(d) The amount of principal and interest on any outstanding bonded indebtedness.
(e) The initial assessed value of the development area.
(f) The captured assessed value retained by the authority.
(g) The number of jobs created as a result of the implementation of the tax increment financing plan.
(h) Any additional information the governing body or the state tax commission considers necessary.
