Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota BAKER TILLY Page 7 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. Section Q Use of Tax Increment Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36% of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and pay such amount to the State's General Fund. 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 III 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 K) and County administrative costs associated with the TIF District (see Section T); (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 M.S. Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a; or (5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School District. Tax increments 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 requirement. Tax increments shall not be used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City. Tax increment derived from the TIF District must be used solely to finance the cost of housing projects (including administrative expenses and public improvement costs) as defined in Section 469.174, Subdivision 11 of the Tax Increment Act and subject to the requirements set forth in Section 469.1761 of the Tax Increment Act. Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any other local unit of government or the State or federal government. Further, tax increments may not be used to finance: a commons area used as a public park; facilities used for social or recreational purposes (whether public or private); or publicly-owned facilities used for conference purposes; provided that tax increment may be used for a privately owned conference facility, and for parking structures whether public or privately owned and whether or not they are ancillary to one of the otherwise prohibited uses described above. If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer, or other beneficiary of assistance, to repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such payments shall be subject to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the developer or beneficiary.
