AGENDA ITEM 3 <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Brian Wessel <br />DATE: 6/8/98 <br />TOPIC: Industrial Incentives: Tax Increment Financing Policy <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Since 1995, when the Economic Development Tax Increment Financing District <br />1-7 (Apollo Business Park) and 3-1 (Clearwater Creek) were created, the city <br />experienced a boom in quality Tight industrial development. Six new industries, <br />with a total market value of $6.8 million, have moved into the Apollo Business <br />Park. Three industries, totaling $10 million, have built in Clearwater Creek. <br />For the first two years of the 10-year TIF Districts, the city was subsidizing land <br />and assessments to qualified companies on a combination of "upfront" and "pay- <br />as-you-go" basis. This generally provided a company moving into the city equity <br />in the range of 16% of the total project cost. <br />As the districts have aged and diminished in capacity, the city is no longer able <br />to provide a subsidy in the range of 16%. This limits the city's ability to attract <br />new business to the city while competing with neighboring cities that are offering <br />land in fully improved business parks, strong TIF incentives and good access to <br />the freeway systems. <br />Other factors also have produced a slow down in industrial development this <br />year in Lino Lakes: <br />• The remaining land in the Apollo Business Park abuts the Lino Lakes <br />Correctional Facility, which has been perceived negatively by some <br />prospects. <br />• Much of the remaining land in Clearwater Creek will not be accessible until <br />the new Otter Lake Road alignment is complete. <br />• The combination of low interest rates and low inflation brought an industrial <br />building boom in 1995 that is now slowing. The opportunistic phase of the <br />market cycle may be over. <br />As the "Industrial Park TIF Status" chart shows, the new businesses that have <br />been built since 1995 will be coming on the tax rolls between 1998 and 2004. <br />However, because of the slowdown of new industrial construction over the past <br />
