3 Properties Multiple Housing Project
4
5 Business Development Coordinator Beeman requested the EDA adopt a Resolution consenting to
6 the process for the creation of a Housing Tax Increment Financing District in support of the
7 proposed MWF Properties Multiple Housing Project. He explained the developer was seeking
8 tax credits for their development and was requesting support from the City. Staff reviewed the
9 updates made to the document by the City Attorney and recommended approval.
10
11 Commissioner Bergeron explained this was a preliminary step the City needed to take in order
12 for the development to continue to move forward. Business Development Coordinator Beeman
13 reported this was the case and noted a formal TIF application would come to the City at a future
14 date. He reiterated that the proposed Resolution was offering preliminary support and was non -
15 binding.
16
17 President Mueller questioned how many years the TIF note would be. Business Development
18 Coordinator Beeman stated the developer was requesting a 15 -year term and the preliminary TIF
19 amount would be no more than $546,401 in funding.
20
21 President Mueller requested the term "places of worship" be added to the last paragraph of the
22 letter of support.
23
24 Vice President Gunn believed this was not relevant and cautioned the EDA from making this
25 change.
26
27 Commissioner Meehlhause stated he had the same thought and did not believe the Commission
28 should mix church and state.
29
30 Commissioner Bergeron was of the opinion "places of worship" was a generic term.
31
32 Commissioner Hull stated he had no opinion on this matter.
33
34 The consensus of the Commission was to add the language "places of worship" to the final
35 paragraph of the letter of support.

credits through the Minnesota Housing Agency. He noted two of the parcels were tax forfeited.
He explained the City Attorney had reviewed the Purchase Option Agreement. Staff provided
the EDA with the most recent document.
City Attorney Riggs reviewed the Purchase Option Agreement in further detail with the EDA and
explained the agreement would allow the City to have site control. He summarized the changes
that were made to the agreement and recommended approval.
Council Member Mueller questioned what would happen if the purchaser did not agree to the
new dates. City Attorney Riggs described how the Purchase Option Agreement would work
between the City, County and developer in order to allow for the project to move forward.
Council Member Mueller asked if the developer could buy the property and not move forward
with the project. City Attorney Riggs stated this was a possibility, which was the reason the
Purchase Option Agreement was being put in place with a specific project timeline.
Further discussion ensued regarding the terms within the Purchase Option Agreement.
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 17 -
EDA -300, MWF Properties Purchase Option Agreement of Tax Forfeited Parcels as revised.
President Mueller understood this agreement was one step in many steps that will have to occur
in order for this development to be completed.
Chris Stokka, MWF Properties, asked if the July dates could be amended. City Attorney Riggs
commented this date did have latitude.
President Mueller questioned when MWF Properties would learn if they had received housing
credits from the State. Mr. Stokka reported he would learn more about this in October or
November.
President Mueller inquired when the traffic study would be completed. Mr. Stokka indicated the
traffic study would be completed the first week of June.

To: Mounds View Economic Development Authority
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 17 -EDA -301 Approving the Preliminary EDA Property
Tax Levy Request and Budget for Fiscal Year 2018
Previously the City's economic development activities were funded with tax increment revenues.
These tax increment revenues were discontinued as required by state statute when the districts
were decertified. This left the City with limited resources to continue existing business outreach,
marketing, advertising, small scale incentives, property acquisitions, professional services, and staff
training and development. The City Council established a levy of $100,000 ($60,000 EDA, $40,000
HRA) for these purposes for 2017. There is no proposed increase in this amount for 2018. The
City's EDA is requesting that the City levy on behalf of the EDA $100,000 to support the above
activities within the City of Mounds View. The HRA levy will be reduced to 0$ and the EDA levy
increased to $100,000 or no net increase between the two levies. The EDA has been authorized
with joint powers of an Economic Development Authority (EDA) and a Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA). The EDA may choose to establish either an EDA levy or an HRA levy, or both, to
fund the above activities. The proposed EDA budget of $228,509 is attached, there will be changes
as additional information becomes available.
Once this amount is set, the levy cannot be increased but can be lowered. A Truth -In -Taxation
meeting will be held December 4, 2017 at 6pm at City Hall. The final levy will be adopted on or
about December 11, 2017.
