Section 1. Recitals. 1.01. It has been proposed by the Mounds View Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") that the EDA enlarge its Development District Nos. 1, 2 and 3 (the "Development Districts") in order to integrate and make coterminous their boundaries and areas; designate said integrated areas as the Mounds View Economic Development project; amend the respective Development Programs for the Development Districts to integrate and expand their goals, objectives, activities, and budgets into a single plan for the development and redevelopment of the consolidated project areas; designate said consolidated development program as the Project Plan; and amend the tax increment financing plans for the tax increment financing districts heretofore established within the Development Districts, respectively, to reflect increased development goals, activities, expenses and bonded indebtedness; all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 through 469.047, 469.090 through 469.108., 469.124 through 469.134, and 469.174 through 469.179, respectively (collectively, the "Plans"), and all as reflected in that certain document entitled in part "Mounds View Economic Development Project of the Mounds View Economic Development Authority," dated May 9, 1994, and presented for the Council's consideration. 1.02. The Council has investigated the facts relating to the Plans. 1.03. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the adoption and approval of the Plans, including, but not limited to, prior notification of the County and School Boards (both of which Boards have submitted to the City written comment on the Plans), a review by the City Planning Commission of the Plans, and the holding of a public hearing thereon following published notice as required by law. 262071.1 Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Plans. . 2.01. The Council hereby finds that the Plans are in the public interest and that the proposed development would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary; that the Plans conform to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole because the anticipated development is in furtherance of long range plans of the City for the development areas; and that the Plans will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the Mounds View Economic Development Project by private enterprise because they will enable the EDA to provide and finance suitable and necessary public inducements. 2.02. The Council further finds that the Plans are intended and, in the judgment of this Council, their effect will be, to promote the public purposes and accomplish the objectives specified in the tax increment financing plans and the Project Plan for the Mounds View Economic Development Project, which are all consistent with the efforts already made for the development of the subject areas. 2.03. The bases, reasons and justifications for the findings made in the Plans and this Resolution include the nature. and location of the various properties to be improved, the deficiencies respecting those properties, and the development and redevelopment needs of the City, all of which necessitate tax increment and related public assistance in order to facilitate the desired improvements. Section 3. Approval and Adoption of the Plans. 3.01. The Plans, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the City Clerk-Administrator. Adopted on May 9, 1994, by the Mounds View City Council.

Backqround and Purposes. TheCity established the Development Districts and adopted their respective Development Programs pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Development District Act, previously found in Minnesota statutes, Chapter 472A, and now codified in Minnesota statutes, Sections 469.124 through 469.134, and the City established Tax Increment Financing District Nos. 1,2 and 3 within the Development Districts pursuant to the Tax Increment Act. Pursuant to the Enabling Act, on March 28, 1994, the Council adopted an enabling resolution and thereby established the EDA. Pursuant to Section 469.094, SUbdivision 2, of the Enabling Act, the City transferred to the EDA, and the EDA accepted from the .. City transfer of, the control, authority, and operation of the Development Districts, including the existing Tax Increment Districts therein, thereby empowering the EDA to exercise all of the powers that the City could exercise with respect to the Development Districts, subject to the covenant and pledge by the EDA to perform the terms, conditions, and covenants of all bond indentures and other agreements executed for the security of any bonds issued and any other activities undertaken with respect to the Development Districts. The EDA recognizes and finds that, while appropriate uses and emphases may vary between various portions of the City, efforts to develop the City will be enhanced and their success will depend upon a unified, consistent, and broad-based approach which is unrelated to the respective boundary lines which currently exist for the Development Districts. In particular, the Board believes that it is important to have the flexibility to. use tax increment and other resources generated within any of the Development Districts for the preservation and enhancement of any and all portions of the entire Project Area, all as may be permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, it is the EDA's purpose, consistent with the stated purposes of the Council, to consolidate and amplify the 2sn68 . -3- . . . City's development areas, goals, objectives, development costs, and activities to the fullest extent permitted by the Enabling Act, the Tax Increment Act and other applicable law, and the Board hereby finds that through such consolidation the necessary development of the City can be accomplished more consistently, efficiently, and economically. Pursuant to section 469.094, Subdivision 2, of the Enabling Act, the EDA is authorized to exercise the powers'of a city with respect to a development district under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.124 through 469.134, and the powers of a housing and redevelopment authority under Minnesota statutes, sections 469.001 through 469.047, among other powers, and it is the intention of the Council and the Board that the EDA shall have and be empowered to exercise any and all of said powers as may be necessary or appropriate for the development of the Project in accordance with the Project Plan. The Development Districts, the Development Programs, and the Tax Increment Districts and Plans are hereby incorporated herein to the same extent as if set forth in full herein. section 1.3. Enlarqement and Consolidation of the Develooment Districts: Desiqnation as Mounds View Economic Develooment Proiect. Each of the Development Districts is hereby enlarged to include the area of each of the other Development Districts, and said consolidated and enlarged composite area is hereby designated as the Mounds View Economic Development Project (the "Project"). The Board finds that each of the Development Districts, as so enlarged pursuant to this section 1.3, and the resulting Project Area, together with the goals and objectives which the EDA seeks to accomplish or encourage with respect to such areas, constitutes without limitation a "development district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, section 469.125, Subdivision 9, and a "redevelopment project" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.002, Subdivision 14. Section 1.4. Amendment and Consolidation of the Develo~ment Programs: Desiqnation as.Proiect Plan. Each of the Development Programs is hereby amended to include all of the goals, objectives, activities, and development costs heretofore identified in each of the other Development Programs and in each of the Tax Increment Plans; it being the intent and effect of the foregoing that each of the Development Programs and Tax Increment Plans shall be and hereby is amended to include the other Development Programs and Tax Increment Plans. Said 257768 -4- consolidation and amendment of the Development Programs shall be . known as the Project Plan for the Project. It is also the Board's intention and determination that any amendment to any of Development Programs, the Project Plan or the Tax Increment Plans made herein or hereafter shall constitute and be deemed to bean amendment of all of the Development Programs. The Council hereby finds that each Development Program, as amended pursuant hereto, together with the composition thereof into the Project Plan, constitutes and shall be deemed to be a "development program" within the meaning of Minnesota statutes, Section 409.125, Subdivision 3, and a "redevelopment plan" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.002, Subdivision 16. The City has heretofore identified significant development activities and costs within and for the benefit of the Development Districts and has financed such activities through substantial bonding and investments of tax increments and other revenues; and the Project Plan is hereby amended to include, as development goals, activities and costs for the Project Area (1) the attraction, retention, rehabilitation and preservation of commercial, industrial, retail, residential, recreational and public service facilities, including necessary or desirable park and recreational facilities, both active and passive; (2) new and rehabilitated public infrastructures; (3) community and other public service centers; (4) senior/mature adult and/or other housing development partnerships or other multi-use housing projects and facilities; (5) other public utilities (inclUding telecommunications); (6) business incubator loan and other business programs; (7) transportation systems; (8) and all related activities or undertakings that may be desirable or necessary in connection with the completion and integration,of such community development. The City has heretofore identified, and the EDA hereby restates, reaffirms and incorporates herein, long-range plans for the preservation and development of the city. . The EDA acknowledges the potential and desire for significant new development projects within the Project Area. As these expected developments materialize, the EDA and/or the City may also be faced with significant additional expenditures involved in acquiring property, relocating businesses and other current users of such properties, clearing sites for development, and participating in .the installation of necessary public infrastructures, as well as such other undertakings and forms of assistance as may be necessary or appropriate for any particular project. While it is not possible to predict with precision the overall magnitude of such costs or specific activities, or in all cases the feasibility of financing them in whole or in part, over the term of the Project .and its Tax Increment Districts, the 257768 . -5- . . . total additional principal costs hereby added to the Project Plan (to be eligible for financing through tax increment and other revenues, including bond proceeds) is estimated to be not less than $20,000,000, but the budget for the Project Plan is hereby amended to include all of the tax increment and other revenues generated heretofore or hereafter by the Project, based on the determination by the Board that the development needs of the City exceed the resources available through continued implementation and utilization of the Project and the Tax Increment Districts. These projects are also expected to require the use of the legal authority of the city or the EDA to issue bonds or other debt, including general obligation bonds (of the City) and revenue only obligations, to cover all or a portion of the related development costs. The Board finds that it is necessary and hereby does amend the Project Plan to include such additional activities and related costs as may be involved in such undertakings, as and when the opportunities arise and are approved by the Board. In addition to such other costs, the EDA would expect to incur certain financing costs, such as capitalized interest, bonding discount, costs of issuance, and administrative expenses. These additional costs, together with the interest to be paid on any debt issued by the EDA or the City to assist in financing such projects, would also be part of the "development costs" of the Project and would therefore be included within the Project Plan. Accordingly, the EDA anticipates utilizing all future tax increment receipts from the Tax Increment Districts to retire outstanding debt and other obligations heretofore and to be incurred for the betterment and development of the Project Area. The EDA hereby amends the Project Plan to provide for the issuance of bonded indebtedness 'in an aggregate principal amount equal to and necessary to finance the activities described in the Project Plan, as adopted and amended herein. The EDA shall also acquire and expects to acquire those properties within the Project Area which may be needed for purposes of or helpful in implementing the Project Plan. In addition to the costs described above, the EDA intends to pay from available tax increment such qualifying administrative costs as may be permitted by but subject to the applicable limitations provided in the Tax Increment Act. Section 1.5. Amendment of Existing Tax Increment Plans. Each of the Tax Increment Plans for the existing three Tax Increment Districts is hereby amended to incorporate all of the public development costs, programs, goals, and activities 2sn68 -6- heretofore and herein incorporated into the Development Programs .. and the Project Plan pursuant to these Sections 1.1 through 1.5, inclusive, including without limitation all of the development costs identified in the Development Programs and in each of the other Tax Increment Plans. Accordingly, the EDA intends to use tax increments from these three Tax Increment Districts to finance activities on an as-needed basis throughout the Project Area. 257768 -7- . . . . .

O'Meara Briggs and Morgan 2200 First National Bank Building St. Paul, MN 55101 Dear Mr. O'Meara: Thank you for your letter regarding the proposed Mounds View Tax Increment and Development District Plans and Amendments. The Ramsey County Board has considered the issue of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) on a number of occasions, the most recent being in April and May of 1993. At that time, the Board reaflirmedtheir concern that reliance on TIF adversely affects the County' sproperty tax base and artificially inflates the property taxes of those properties that are not included in the TIF plan. . The Ramsey County Board continues to desire greater county Board involvement in TIF decisions and the process of decision making; management of the growth in the use of TIF within Ramsey County; and limi tations on the impa<;:t of TIF on the property tax base in Ramsey County. The attached resolutions (82-734 and 93-215) express the Board's concern regarding TIF and their positions concerning proposals to change existing legislation relating to it. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 266-8014. Sincerely, Bonnie C.

Budgec & Accoun~ing; L. McKenna, Property Tax; All Municipality Clerks, Ramsey County; WHEREAS. Tax increment financing districts are being created in Ramsey County in increasing numbers and for significant amounts, and WHEREAS, The lack of availability of alternative financing methods suggests that reliance on tax increment financing will continue to incl""ease in the futul""e. and WHEREAS, Tax increment financing adversely affects the County's tax base and artif.icially increases the County's property ta;c. mill rate. and WHEREAS.

WHEREAS, The County fee1s that it is necessary to e;c.press its concern to all municipalities in Ramsey County about the use of tax increment financing; . Now, Therefore Be It RESOLVED, That the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners hereby adopts the following policy statement which shall be the official County comment for all tax increment projects proposed in Ramsey County: The rapid growth in the creation of tax increment financing distriC1:s is of increasing concern to Ramsey County. It should be noted that all increases in assessed valuation over the base year would be captured. whether or not they are generated by economic development activity carried on by the authority. The County's tax base is. affected adversely at a time when there is additional reliance on ad valorem property taxes because of the reduction in state and federal aids. Also, Ramsey County finds' it objectionable, that under present statutes, provision ;s made for comment onl~, rather than statutory power for counties to limit or control the use of tax increment financing. Ramsey County ,recognizes that ta;c. increment financing is one of the tools available to encourage development or redevelop- ment within a municipality. However. cautious and judicious use of the tax increment financing vehicle is necessary to insure that it is not abused. The County wouldlika to see all municipalities who use ta;c. increment fin~ncing develop a strategy which encourages development while protecting the municipality and its ta;c.payers from unnecessary expense by -continued- .

Starting with the premise that the municipality should eventually recoup all or part of its subsidy, with the timing and amount of recoupment determined by a project's profitability, a more selective use of tax increment financing would occur. The recoupment plan could include alternatives such as repayment to the c; ty very quickly or only when and if the project is. sold; municipally retained ownership of the hnd and recouping expenses th rough 1 ease arrangements; or the deye 1 opel'" a 11 ow; "9 the municipality to be partial owners of the development. Municipalities are encouraged to develop tax increment plans as part of their capital improvement planning and budgeting processes to insure that their goals are accomplished in a systemati c way. 5i nce a mun; ci pal ity IS capacity to carry bonded debt is limited. so is its ability to use tax increment financing. As part of its debt management process, the munici- pa1ityshould decide what portion of its bonded debt it wishes to allocate to tax increment bonds. That partie" should then be tentatively allocated to various activities deemed appropriate recipients of tax increment resources. Resulting development projects could then be considered on how they relate to the previously identified needs of the municipality. . 'ROBERT J. OTUH.

At "cQO ~ t1Y ~ ~n~"PBY; F~.r ~ he attached resolution gives formal approval for the Amendments to, the Tax ncrement Financing Plans for consolidation of the City's three Development istricts into the "Mounds View Economic Development Project",' often eferred to as the "Project Area". The Plans consolidate and amend the hree Development Programs for those Development Districts and redesignate hat unified program as the "Project Plan". These Plans also amend the roject Plan and the three tax increment plans to reflect additional goals, ctivities and expenditures for various Council identified development and edevelopment goals. n March of 1990, the Business Park Development District (No.2) was xpanded to include all properties within the City,:except for Development istrict Nos. 1 and 3. Adoption of the amendments (through approval of the ttachedresolution) will result in an identified Project Area" for a tax . ncrement development .and redevelopment program that will include all roperties within the city. amendments provide for flexibility in anticipation of future evelopment costs. The primary purpose for the consolidation of the three evelopment Districts into one "Project Area" is to utilize a degree of ~Unding flexibility for projects which may take place anywhere within the .roject Area. without consolidation, increment from. a Development District ould only be used in the specific District. The consolidation will ccommodate development and redevelopment activities which can be. funded rom increment generated within the expanded "Project Area". Consolidation ill provide development and redevelopment opportunities that, heretofore, ad not been possible and also allow the EDA and City to accomplish evelopment and redevelopment priorities in areaS 'that heretofore lacked unding mechanisms. s required by law, the City has submitted the Amendments both to School istrict 621 and Ramsey County for their review. Their written comments are rator otion to Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution No. 4564 Approving Economic Development reject and Tax Increment Financing Amendments I STAFF REPORT MAY 9, 1994 PAGE TWO attached.
