Section 1. Recitals
1.01. The Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority (the "Authority") approved a tax
increment financing plan (the "Plan") for the Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-9 (TIF
District No. 1-9) on December 14, 1998.
1.02. On December 14, 1998, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes (the "City")
approved the Plan.
1.03 On November 8, 1999, following a public hearing, the Authority approved the Lino
Lakes Economic Development Authority Business Subsidy Criteria (the "Criteria"), pursuant to
Minnesota Statute, sections 1167.993 through 1167.995 (the `Business Subsidy Act.")
1.04. Summit Fire Protection, a Minnesota Corporation, (the `Developer") has requested
a business subsidy through tax increment financing in the amount of $217,059 for the construction
of a light industrial facility in the Apollo Business Center.
1.05. Pursuant to Section 1167.994, subd. 5 of the Business Subsidy Act, the Authority
has on this date held a public hearing on the proposed subsidy to the Developer, following
published notice as required by law, at which hearing all persons wishing to express an opinion
were given an opportunity to do so.
Section 2. Findings.
2.01. It is hereby found and determined that the business subsidy is in the best interest of
the Authority because it is consistent with and promotes the goals established by the Authority in
adopting the Criteria.
2.02. It is hereby found and determined that granting the business subsidy to the
Developer furthers the Authority's general plan of economic development of the community by
encouraging growth and expansion of an industrial park which has not been used to its full
potential.
2.03. Pursuant to the Criteria established by the Authority, it is hereby found and
determined that the business subsidy promotes the following:
1. Encourages economic and commercial diversity within the community;

Section 3. Authorization.
3.01. The business subsidy to the Developer as described above is hereby approved.
