In view of the fact that the City is still uncertain how the revenues will be utilized in a number of the changes, we are unable to comment specifically. However, we would offer the following observations and ask that they be introduced as comments at the pnhlir hearing and he made a permanent part of the record on this matter, We are pleased that the City is working with a Development Guide and is making every effort to secure development proposals that fall within the objectives which are a part of those guidelines. In Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 -1, we note that plans are for additional development within the Market Place Shopping Center area, but these plans apparently are not delineated at this time. We ask that you keep us updated about any development which is actually scheduled to take place. Further, we hope that such development will assist in increasing the number of full -time equivalent, permanent head -of- household jobs. Should a future business need assistance in securing qualified employees, the County's Job Training Service would be most interested in being involved in such an effort. In Tax Increment Financing District No. 3, we note that the City wishes to provide public improvement costs which will decrease the assessments to approximately $10,000 per lot. What price range of housing is anticipated on these eleven parcels? Mbn esota's First Home Rule County prhiIdon rooydo4p .porwihamJnIaam oti0k pout* nmu Mnlopt Page 5
