• Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Program Modification and Plan <br />2.01. The Council hereby finds that the Program Modification and Plan, are intended and, in <br />the judgment of this Council, the effect of such actions will be, to provide an impetus for development <br />in the public purpose and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Program Modification and <br />Plan, which are hereby incorporated herein. <br />Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No 1-3 <br />3.01. The Council hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a "redevelopment <br />district" under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 10 (a)(1). <br />3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed redevelopment would not occur solely <br />through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value <br />of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would <br />be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after <br />subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District <br />permitted by the Plan, that the Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment <br />of the City as a whole; and that the Plan will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound <br />needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the District by private <br />enterprise. <br />3.03. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above <br />• findings stated in this Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determination <br />in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit A. <br />3.04. The City elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with <br />Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, subdivision 3, clause a, which means the fiscal disparities <br />contribution would be taken from outside the District. <br />Section 4. Public Purpose <br />4.01. The adoption of the Program Modification and Plan conforms in all respects to the <br />requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to redevelop an area of the City which is already built <br />up, to provide housing opportunities through redevelopment, to improve the tax base and to improve the <br />general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. <br />Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Program Modification and Plan. <br />5.01. The Program Modification and Plan, as presented to the Council on this date, including <br />without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, <br />ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the City Administrator. <br />5.02. The staff of the City, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to <br />proceed with the implementation of the Program Modification and Plan and to negotiate, draft, prepare <br />and present to this Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts <br />necessary for this purpose. <br />• 5.03 The Auditor of Ramsey County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of <br />the District, as described in the Program Modification and Plan, and to certify in each year thereafter <br />
