Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 7 • Mr. Jahnke stated he had no problem with the comments of Council Member Marty but stated that tax increment goes into pool and the City gets nothing for a long time. Council Member Quick explained the City gets twenty-two percent (22%) of the taxes and the remainder goes into a pool that is used for many different things within the City. He also noted that TIF districts do have a life span and expire at some point. Mr. Jahnke warned Council to be careful when dealing with the contractor who wants to sell the land behind Super America. Council Member Thomas told Mr. Jahnke that the City is looking at future use each time a property is offered for sale. She then noted the City has turned down properties to purchase as they do not fit City purposes. Council Member Quick stated it is much cheaper to buy piece of property from a willing seller than one who is not willing. Council Member Stigney noted that when the City looked at selling the corner property in the past the City has not been able to market it but that was when there was a state trunk highway. He then stated he feels now that it is a county highway access is different and the property should be sold as a market value property not on a wholesale basis. He also noted he has a concern with leaving the property in a TIF district. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 9. CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Just and Correct Claims B. Licenses for Approval C.
