<br />486853v2 AMB MU205-13 <br />Item No: 7.A. <br />Meeting Date: August 25, 2025 <br />Type of Business: EDA Business <br />City Administrator Review: ______ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Mounds View Economic Development Authority <br />From: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 25-EDA-377 Approving the Preliminary EDA Property <br />Tax Levy Request for Fiscal Year 2026 <br /> <br /> <br />Previously, the City’s economic development activities were funded with tax increment revenues. <br />These tax increment revenues were discontinued as required by state statute when the tax <br />increment districts were decertified. This left the City with limited resources to continue existing <br />business outreach, marketing, advertising, small scale incentives, property acquisitions, <br />professional services, and staff training and development. <br /> <br />The 2025 tax levy for the EDA was $160,000. The City’s EDA is requesting that the City Council <br />levy on behalf of the EDA $160,000 (the same amount as 2025) to support its activities within the <br />City of Mounds View. The proposed EDA budget is attached. <br /> <br />Once the preliminary levy amount is set, the levy cannot be increased, but can be lowered. A Truth- <br />In-Taxation meeting will be held December 1, 2025 at 6pm at City Hall. The final levy will be <br />adopted on or about December 8, 2025. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
