Motion passed unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN LINO LAKES EDA AND NOL-TEC, INC. Mr. Wessel explained that in 1996 the EDA approved a development agreement with Nol- Tec to build a 16,000 square foot facility in the Apollo Business Park. In the agreement, TIF was used to pay for 1.6 acres and all the assessments. Nol-Tec paid for the remaining 1.4 acres of the 3-acre parcel. The agreement the city made with Nol-Tec was that TIF would be used to subsidize the remaining 1.4 acres if the company expanded. The company is now planning to double the size of its Lino Lakes facility. This decision is based, in part, on the commitment of $54,000 in additional pay-as-you-go TIF to pay for the remaining 1.4 acres. This expansion will increase the industrial tax base and provide the capacity for 25 additional high -quality jobs. This development contract between the EDA and Nol-Tec outlines the conditions for public assistance for the additional TIF. In this agreement, the city will continue to be reimbursed for assessments first from available tax increment, and Nol-Tec will be reimbursed the additional $54,000 from the remaining available tax increment. Payback on the entire project will be complete in 2004. EDA Member Bergeson asked when the original payback was to occur. Ms. Divine said it was scheduled to go on the tax rolls in 2004, the same as with the expansion. The additional increment from the expansion would pay for the additional TIF. EDA Member Bergeson moved to approve the development contract. EDA Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
