O'Meara <br />Briggs and Morgan <br />2200 First National Bank Building <br />St. Paul, MN 55101 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. O'Meara: <br /> <br />Thank you for your letter regarding the proposed Mounds View Tax <br />Increment and Development District Plans and Amendments. <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Board has considered the issue of Tax Increment <br />Financing (TIF) on a number of occasions, the most recent being in April <br />and May of 1993. At that time, the Board reaflirmedtheir concern that <br />reliance on TIF adversely affects the County' sproperty tax base and <br />artificially inflates the property taxes of those properties that are <br />not included in the TIF plan. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Board continues to desire greater county Board <br />involvement in TIF decisions and the process of decision making; <br />management of the growth in the use of TIF within Ramsey County; and <br />limi tations on the impa<;:t of TIF on the property tax base in Ramsey <br />County. <br /> <br />The attached resolutions (82-734 and 93-215) express the Board's concern <br />regarding TIF and their positions concerning proposals to change <br />existing legislation relating to it. If you have any questions, please <br />feel free to call me at 266-8014. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Bonnie C. Jac <br />Chief Clerk <br /> <br /> <br />Board <br /> <br />-a-~~ <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />cc: <br /> <br />Ramsey County Commissioners <br />Terry Schutten, County Manager <br />Lou MCKenna, Director, Property Records and Revenue <br />Terry Lindeke, Director, Intergovernmental Aff~irs <br />Judy Karon, Director, Community and Economic Development <br />Samantha Orduno, Mounds View City Manager <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />'II!_____..._,..;.. n!__.
