99.965. Termination of development financing, when, procedure — dissolution of special fund and termination of designated area. — 1. When all development project costs and all obligations issued to finance development project costs have been paid in full, the municipality shall adopt an ordinance terminating development financing for all development project areas. Immediately upon the adoption of such ordinance, all payments in lieu of taxes, all economic activity taxes, and other net new revenues then remaining in the special allocation fund shall be deemed to be surplus funds; and thereafter, the rates of the taxing districts shall be extended and taxes levied, collected, and distributed in the manner applicable in the absence of the adoption of development financing. Surplus payments in lieu of taxes shall be paid to the county collector who shall immediately thereafter pay such funds to the taxing districts in the development area selected in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the collector to the affected taxing districts of real property taxes from real property in the development area. Surplus economic activity taxes shall be paid to the taxing districts in the development area in proportion to the then current levy rates of such taxing districts that are attributable to economic activity taxes. Surplus other net new revenues shall be paid to the state. Any other funds remaining in the special allocation fund following the adoption of an ordinance terminating development financing in accordance with this section shall be deposited to the general fund of the municipality. 2. Upon the payment of all development project costs, retirement of obligations, and the distribution of any surplus funds pursuant to this section, the municipality shall adopt an ordinance dissolving the special allocation fund and terminating the designation of the development area as a development area. 3. Nothing in sections 99.915 to 99.980 shall be construed as relieving property in such areas from paying a uniform rate of taxes, as required by Section 3, Article X of the Missouri Constitution.
