City of Little Canada, Minnesota Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC Page 8 Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. For communities affected by the fiscal disparity provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F and Chapter 276A, the original net tax capacity of the TIF District shall be determined before the application of fiscal disparity. In subsequent years, the current net tax capacity shall either (a) be determined before the application of fiscal disparity or (b) exclude the product of any fiscal disparity increase in the TIF District (since the original net tax capacity was certified) times the appropriate fiscal disparity ratio. The method the Authority elects shall remain the same for the life of the TIF District, except that a single change may be made at any time from method (a) to method (b) above. The City elects method (b), or M.S. Section 469.177, Subdivision 3(b). The County Auditor shall certify to the City the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The City may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the City's intention to retain 100% of the captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District. Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the anticipated life of the TIF District.

Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the State. Exhibit II shows the projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District. The City has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for any of the following purposes: (1) Pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section J) and County administrative costs associated with the TIF District (see Section S); (2) pay principal and interest on one or more pay-as-you-go notes, tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District; (3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District; (4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under Minnesota Statutes section 469.175, Subd.1a; or (5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School District. Tax increment from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit of a project located within that county, unless the county board involved waives this
