Mounds View Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 2-10 Subsection 2-11. Fiscal Disparities Election Pursuant to the Special Legislation, Subd. 2(f), the limitation on the ability to elect the method of computation under M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, for an economic development district does not apply and the EDA or City may elect the method of computation under paragraph (a) or (b) of section M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3. The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b (inside the District). If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (inside the District) are followed, the following method of computation shall apply: (b) The following method of computation applies to any economic development district for which the request for certification was made after June 30, 1997, and to any other district for which the governing body, by resolution approving the tax increment financing plan pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3, elects: (1) The original net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscal disparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and the current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to M.S., Section 276A.06, subdivision 7 or M.S., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6. Where the original net tax capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the current tax capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereof which the authority has designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority. (2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. The local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated by the extension of the less of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax rate to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the authority.
