Section 2. Findings Relating to the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4. 2.01. It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable for the sound and orderly development of the District and the City as a whole, and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the City to establish Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4. 2.02. It is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the City, that the projects proposed in the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4, could not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that therefore the use of tax increment financing is necessary to assist the projects. 2.03. The expenditures proposed to be financed through tax increment financing are necessary to permit the City to realize the full potential of the District in terms of development intensity and tax base. 2.04. The Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the tax increment financing district by private enterprise. 2.05. The City Council has relied upon the opinions and recommendations of its staff and planning and zoning board and the personal knowledge of the members of the council in reaching its conclusions regarding the Plan and the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4. 2.06. Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 is an economic development tax increment financing district within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174, Subd. 12. Section 3. Approval of the Tax Increment Financing Plan; Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4. 3.01. The Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 is hereby adopted. 3.02. Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 is hereby established. The boundaries of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 are as described in the Plan and incorporated herein by reference. 3.03. For purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F, the City hereby elects to be treated under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 469.177, Subd. 3(b) of the TIF Act. 3.04. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of this resolution together with a certified copy of the Plan to the auditor of Anoka County with a request that the original tax capacity of the property within Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 be certified to the City pursuant to Section 469.177, Subd. 1 of the Tax Increment Financing Act and to file a copy of the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.1-4 with the Minnesota Commissioner of Trade and Economic Development. 2
