Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority, Minnesota BAKER TILLY Page 8 Section R Excess Tax Increment Beginning with the sixth year after certification of the TIF District, any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the City shall use the excess tax increments to: (1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds; (2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof; (3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds; or (4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution. Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five-Year Rule As permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, subdivision 2(b) and subdivision 3(a)(5), any expenditures of increment from the TIF District to pay the cost of a “housing project” as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 11 will be treated as an expenditure within the district for the purposes of the “pooling rules” and the “five-year rule”. The City does not currently anticipate that tax increments will be spent outside the TIF District (except allowable administrative expenses), but such expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan. The Authority does not expect that allowable pooling expenditures will be made outside of the TIF District, but such expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan. Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than: (1) amounts paid for the purchase of land; (2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly connected with the proposed development within the TIF District; (3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons or businesses residing or located within the TIF District; or (4) amounts used to pay interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount, tax increment bonds. Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District. Tax increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of (a) 10% of the total tax increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or (b) 10% of the total tax increments received by the District. Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements - Four Year Rule If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualified improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly.
