Attached is some information Ramsey County provided us with at recent meeting of city <br />managers. They contend that the percent of Ramsey County tax base captured by TIF has <br />not been declining even though a number of districts have been decertified. They are also <br />concerned about the percentage of tax base captured by TIF Districts thereby restricting <br />their ability to generate tax dollars to support County programs. <br />It is my recommendation that we inform the Legislature that SF 73 should not prohibit <br />cities from completing redevelopment programs that were contemplated in the original <br />TIF plan. It is my opinion, the issue involving pooling is not a major concern to our <br />community given the status of our TIF Districts (other Ramsey County jurisdictions feel <br />much stronger about this issue). Therefore, I do not recommend a position on that <br />provision. <br />Page 44 <br />
