Coordinator Bennett explained that according to Municipal Code Chapter 408.07, Subdivision 2, the Commission shall hold one regular meeting a month to be fixed by resolution. . 1 • Commissioner Mountin noted that the Planning Commission typically adds a submission date for materials from the public to allow staff enough time to prepare the agenda and it would be appropriate to have a submission date for the EDC as well. Commissioner Nelson made a motion, Commissioner Mountin seconded, to approve Resolution EDC94-1 with the amendments to move the December 22, 1994 meeting date to December 17, 1994 and add a submission deadline, to be determined by staff, for public information. 7 ayes° nays Motion Carried C.

Consideration of Approval of the Economic Development Commission 1994 Mission Statement and Work Plan. Coordinator Bennett presented eight action steps for the Commission to focus on in 1994 concerning economic development activities in the City. Commissioner Mountin presented a draft mission statement for the Economic Development Commission to introduce the 1994 work plan. It was requested that each of the action steps start with the preface of"Begin", "Evaluate"or"Initiate"where appropriate because many of the items will be carried over to 1995 since there are four months left in 1994. It was requested to add an action item to ensure that the Mounds View public is kept aware of the EDC activities and input is encouraged. Commissioner Mountin made a motion, and Chairman Welsch second, to accept the mission statement as presented and accept the 1994 work plan adding a preface to each action step and adding action step nine encouraging communication between the Commission and the public. 7 ayes° nays • 2 • Motion Carried E. Discussion Regarding Mounds View business interviews of the North Metro Business Retention and Development Commission Program. Coordinator Bennett reported all of the businesses will be surveyed and interviewed as part of North Metro Business Retention and Development Commission to collectively evaluate the needs and future growth of businesses in the North Metro area. Bennett has participated in a select few interviews and was not very satisfied with the professionalism of the interview procedure. Commissioner Malone, who was interviewed for the program, was dissatisfied with the lack of knowledge of the interviewer and the leading questions that were made. Commissioner Malone suggested that all interviews be put on hold and a meeting between staff and the Directors of the program be set to discuss the interview procedure. Commissioner Malone requested a list of businesses that completed the interviews process and those businesses that have yet to be interviewed to be provided at the next meeting for discussion. Chairman Welsch made a motion, Vice Chair Schmidt seconded, directing staff to set a meeting with the directors of the Program to indicate that the interview process may be causing problems in the business community and an acceptable strategy be immediately developed. 7 ayes° nays Motion Carried • 5. Other Business: The following information was presented to the Commission for discussion.

Bennett was not sure but would find out for the next meeting. Commissioner Goff requested a copy of the Economic Development Authority bylaws and list of members for the next meeting. Characteristics of Gas Station Property on Hwy. 10 were presented by Coordinator Bennett. The owner of the property has indicated that the sight is in the process of being cleaned up. The contamination clean up system is installed and all the required tests are being done and filed with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. It is expected that the property will be fully clean in 3 years. 6. Reports From Chair and Commissioners: Chairman Welsch mentioned that he received a notice for a meeting regarding the future of the Arsenal on August 30, 1994.

As discussed at the last meeting, the commission should establish a mission statement and a work plan for 1994. It was indicated that the mission statement should be short and concise instead of the longer purpose that is stated in the 0 Municipal Code which is as follows: The Commission shall serve as an Advisory Commission to the Economic Development Authority, hereinafter the "Authority', on matters relating to fostering a positive economic climate, encouraging economic development, and enhancing the tax base of the City. The Commission shall also make recommendations to the I Authority regarding retention and expansion of existing businesses, attraction of desirable new businesses, redevelopment and rehabilitation opportunities, and other appropriate economic development strategies." If you have suggestions for a shorter, more concise mission statement, please call me prior to the meeting and I will prepare a list of options for the commission to choose from. I have attached some ideas for a work plans for 1994. There are only a few months in 1994, so a lot of the ideas are the beginning process for recommendations for program implementation in 1995. 111 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION 1994 WORK PLAN Mission Statement: Action Steps: 1. Develop a long range strategic plan for the redevelopment of Highway 10. Complete an inventory of properties on Highway 10 to include the following: -* zoning status - proposed change 4 current use - future use 4 activity and property condition Evaluate long and short term uses and recommend changes Research and recommend financing mechanism for redevelopment 2. Develop a list of targeted industries for future economic development programs. 3. Research Innovative Programs of Other Metro Area Cities as it relates to development, redevelopment and housing rehabilitation. 4. Monitor responses and findings of the North Metro Business Retention and Development Commission Program. 5. Develop Design Standards for new development and redevelopment in the City. 6. Develop and Recommend adoption of a Tax Increment Financing Policy to include Fundability Guidelines. 7. Participate in retention calls to local businesses. 8. Begin Updating Mounds View 1986 Economic Development Plan 4110 Staff Memo To: Economic Development Commission Members From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator Date: August 17, 1994 Agenda Item: Other Business The following items under Other Business are primarily for commission member's review. These items are for discussion and no action is needed. Open Meeting Law: 0 Since this is a new commission and not all parties are familiar with the required procedures of public meetings, I thought it may be beneficial to have you review the Open Meeting Law. The State statute notes the requirements for making all the materials available to the public and procedures for calling special and emergency meetings. An interpretation of the law notes that a quorum of commission members (4 members) are allowed to conduct commission businesses. Therefore, any time when there are four or more members together the "meeting" must be posted and made public. Economic Development Authority Powers: At the last meeting there was an inquiry regarding acquisition procedures and how long the City, or in this case EDA, could own property without making any improvements to the vacant land and/or building. The attachment outlines the powers of an EDA which allows a broad scope of possibilities, including acquisition. This does not specifically address the above question but prior to the meeting I will consult the City's attorney and bring the information to the meeting. In addition, I have been trading phone calls with the broker for the vacant gas station • site on Highway 10. Hopefully I will have more information regarding the property prior to the meeting. (Over) • Staff Memo Other Business Cont. FYI: I envision this section of the agenda to be for general information regarding economic development trends, issues, etc. The first article gives an overview of Minnesota's programs to promote business growth and diversification. The second article, provided by Delane Welsch, gives a perspective of the competitive nature of economic development and how incentives play a role in the business relocation decision. • a: • ;L7.

This development implies commitments . from both the public and private sector, however . In order for the City to prepare a capital improve- ments program, which will outline major capital expenditures for a five-year period , the current financial status of the community needs to be reviewed . Future expenditures must be planned based on past records of revenues and expenditures . As the taxpayer is one of the major sources of revenues for the community, it is also useful to have . detailed information on trends in tax revenues and assessments .

S . 473F) was adopted by the Minnesota • Legislature in 1971 as a means for discouraging unfair competition among the cities in the seven county metropolitan :area for commercial and industrial development, to encourage a distribution of such development, and to distribute revenues derived from such development among the "haves" and the "have Hots" , thus , providing for an "equalization" of commercial/ industrial valuations and tax benefits . Essentially, the law provides for each city to make 'a contribu- tion to a "pool" of valuations equal to 40% of its net growth ( present year valuations minus base assessment year 1971 valuations ) which includes new construction , increases in valuation due to higher market prices or inflation , decreases in - valuation due to lower market prices , demolition of buildings or other reasons . Each municipality receives back a share of the pool based on a formula using population and " fiscal capacity" ( valuation divided by population ) as the main measures . A simplified example of the tax computation for 1985 on a parcel DE commercial/industrial real property in Mounds View with an estimated market value of $100 , 000 is given below: Assessed value is determined as follows : • 1 . 410 43% of the Estimated Market Value = the Total Taxable Assessed Value . ( . 43 x $ 100 , 000 ) $43 , 000 2 . 1985 Fiscal Disparities Sharing Factor of . 406889 times the total taxable assessed value equals the amount of value to be shared and bears the area wide mill rate . ( . 406889 x S43 , 000 ) $ 17 , 496 3 . Total Taxable Assessed Value minus amount to be shared equals amount of value which will bear the local mill rate .

Upon reviewing Chapters 1 and 2 of this report, the Mounds View City Council reached certain conclusions as to how best the remaining land should be developed . As a first step in this process , the Council reached an agreement on what issues were most important to the City as a whole, e .g . , increased employment, increased tax base , architecturally and aesthetically pleasing buildings, etc . The results of this discussion were as follows , 1 . Goal : Improve City ' s Physical Image Objective : Attract development that will create a positive image of the community through its general appearance . Undertake a community-wide effort to present a positive image of Mounds View by pre- senting a good outward appearance and operations . 2 . Goal : Promote positive assets of the community; improve on the negative . Objective : Undertake an effort to promote Mounds • View by emphasizing the positive assets of the community and develop a program to improve on those felt to create a negative image . 3 . Goal : Establish Parks Maintenance Program (Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan ) Objective : Develop a Plan for the Maintenance and Capital Improvement of Parks and Park Facilities and establish a program to fund 'the work layed out by the Plan . 4 . Goal : Premium quality development compatible with the City' s current environment. Objective : Attract development to the community which will neither detract from nor divert attention from the rest of the community. 5 . Goal : Expand/Balance Tax Base Objective : Attract Commericial and Industrial development to the community in order to expand the City ' s tax base and provide • balance to the current predominant residential tax base . 3-1 6 . Goal : Enforce building and housing codes and other property related codes. • Objective : Place emphasis upon Property Code greater enforcement by Community Service Officer and Building Inspector . 7 . Goal : Attract service providers to the community . Objective : Encourage development of office and office/warehouse facilities that will attract professionals and service providers currently not available within the community . 8 . Goal : Form Economic Development Commission Objective : Establish the framework for an Economic Development Commission and seek qualified , knowledgable individuals to serve . 9 . Goal : Increase jobs. Objective : Attract development to the community that will meet all of the previously stated goals and provide for an increase in the number of jobs available to the community . The second and final step was to develop a program that would assist the City in attracting the types of development felt to be; desirable and which are compatible with the Comprehensive Plan ' s designation for the specific parcel on which the development is proposed . The results of this effort are outlined in Chapter 6 of this report. • • _ _ Final report • Fiscal impact Analysis : Final Report to the City of Mounds View Wetlands Committee February 7 , 1983 • • • rin:si Keport • Table of Contents I .

Appendix 17 • G (3AND AUNNAR ISBERG SSOCIATES 1 r nu ; nr Esu : L Introduction 1111 Much discussion and debate continue to take place among local offi- cials regarding the advantages and disadvantages co a munici- pality of different types of land uses such as residential , commercial and industrial developments . This is especially true in view of the claims made by many developers and land- owners that their proposed developments will increase the tax base of the community and therefore , will result in an economic tax benefit to the community . While most private developments will indeed result in an increase in the tax base of a commun- ity , this needs to be balanced against the cost of the public services required by that development before one can make the claim that a particular development will result in the gener- ation of revenues in excess of service costs . Furthermore , what is perceived as an economic benefit by one individual , one group or one community may not be considered beneficial by another person , group or city . There are a variety of potential analytical tools and studies as well as adopted policies and plans which local officials might want to consider in evaluating a particular development proposal . the availability of these studies and documents with which to evaluate development proposals differs from commun- ity to community depending upon a number of factors . The fol- lowing is a partial list of some .factors and studies which a local community could Consider in determining the advantages • and disadvantages of a particular development proposal . ? . Economic - Fiscal Impact Analysis - Marketing Study 2 . Environmental - Environmental Assessment 3 . Social - Housing Stock Analysis - Public Safety Impact 4 . Planning and Management - Comprehensive Plan Compliance Land Use Plan Public Facilities Plan Thoroughfare Plan Park and Open Space Plan Capital Improvements - Regulatory Devices like : Zoning Ordinance Subdivision Regulations 1111 Housing Code Building Code —5 Final Repert 4110 5 Aesthetic - Aesthetic and Design Criteria 6 . Intergovernmental - Federal Government Impact - State Government Impact - County Government Impact - Metropolitan Council Impact - School District Impact - Other Municipalities Impact Some of these factors are commonly developmen ; syst,ci,local 1sofficials and staff in evaluating proposed comprehen- sive plans , zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations . in some cases , special studies will be undertaken such as environ- mental assessments or economic market studies . However , only rarely do communities consider the interovern- mental impact of development proposals . For example , municipal officials seldom consult school district officials during an evaluation of a major development proposal even though the proposed development can have a major impact on the school district finances . Similarly , local communities in the past have often neglected to determine the fiscal impact ( cost- revenue ) of a particular development on the local community • finances . This is slowly changing due to the decreasing fiscal resources available to local communities in Minnesota . Local officials , being scrapped for funds with which ro finance various projects due to a decrease in federal and state aids as well as levy limitations being imposed by state law , are becoming increasingly concerned over the fiscal impact of various development pro- posals . One such community is the City of Mounds View . In order to determine the economic costs and revenues generated by various land use types , the City of hounds View , through its Wetlands Committee , commissioned a fiscal impact study fofahyf hypo- thetical development alternatives on ~a vacant parcel located in the city . The purpose of the study was to attempt co determine the fiscal impact on the municipal budget of se - eral different developments on a vacant parcel of land approxi- mately 75 acres in size located in the eastern portion of the city . The particular tract of land is one of 17 parcels of undeveloped land located in the city whichtisys subject r tot a wet- lands ordinance . 1981 was chosen as the fact that this was the most current year. for which reli- able data was available . A review of the literature and past research of fiscal impact analy- • sis suggests that few studies of this type have been attempted due to the countless variables that can affect the validity of any and all findings , especially in relation co the cost of the services demanded by different types of developments . Where this type of analysis has been conducted , it usually has been in response to a specific project proposed by a developer . Because this par- Final Report ticular study has involved the use of hypothetical , although 1111 realistic , project proposals as well as generalized data , caution must be used in attempting to directly transfer the findings in the future to specific project proposals . Before discussing the specific findings of the study , it may be use- ful to first define fiscal impact . Fiscal impact analysis is de- fined as the projection of direct , current , public costs and rev- enues associated with residential and non-residential growth to the local jurisdiction in which the growth occurs . Such analysis does not include indirect effects of development , such as the secondary consequences of growth , i . e . increase or decrease in property value ., due to nearby development ; the effects of inflation on future costs or revenues ; or the private costs of public actions , such as the costs passed on to developers or consumers through local land use regulation . ( Fiscal impact analysis is synonymous with Cost- Revenue Analysis for the purpose of this study . ) In order to evaluate the direct , current , public costs of future development and the revenues generated by this growth , the analyse was conducted in three stages : ( 1 ) the hypothetical land use al- ternatives were broadly defined , ( 2 ) revenues generated by the prop- erty tax and selected intergovernmental sources were projected by land use type , and ( 3 ) municipal and school district service costs were projected by land use types . II . Land Use Alternatives 4111 After considerable discussion between the consultant , city staff , and members of the Wetlands Committee , the following land use alter - natives were selected for the 75 acre slte . These u1iernatIves wr• r , thought to be both realistic for the city as well as representative of a wide divergence of land uses in the city . A. R-1 , Single and Two Family Residential Development Of 156 units ( households ) valued at approximately $80 , 000 . 00 each at a density of 3 . 48 houses per acre with a projected pop- ulation of 557 ( of whom 178 are elementary and secondary stu- dents ) . B. R-3 , Townshouses Residential Development Of 471 units valued at approximately $ 70 , 000 . 00 each at a den- sity of 10. 52 per acre with a projected population of 1 , 420 ( of whom 256 are elementary and secondary students ) . C. R-4 , Multi-family Apartments Residential Development Of 806 units valued at about $40 , 000 . 00 each at a density of 18 units per acre with a projected population of 1 , 221 ( of whom 110 are elementary and secondary students ) . D. Industrial-Office Complex 1111 On 13 . 43 acres ( 585 , 010 square feet ) at a cost of $ 21 , 060 , 378 . No populations were projected to be generated by this complex . -7 , t sinal Report • Since the City of Mounds View is a nearly developed suburb in the metopo1itan area , industrial and/ or cummcreiai LtvcIopin eui would not necessarily result in increased city and/ or school populations . Additional employment opportunities would not ne essarily be filled by persons moving to the city to live , hut by workers commuting from many ocher areas of the Twin Cities and suburbs , as well as , the current Mounds View population . Therefore , no projected population increases have been included relative to commercial and/or industrial development . Indus- trial activities are presumed to be light manufacturing simi- lar to current Mounds View industries . E. Commercial Shopping Center ( Regional Center ) Of 15 . 67 acres in size ( 682 , 585 square feet ) at a cost of $39 , 589 , 941 . No• populations were projected as a result of this development . F . Mix of R-4 Multi-family Apartments and a Strip Commercial Ueve opment R-4 development of 400 units valued at $40 , 000 each at a den- sity of 18 per acre with projected population of 606 persons of whom 54 are school children . Commercial Strip of 100 , 000 square feet ( 2. 3 acres ) at a cost of $6 , 000 , 000 . 'No populations are projected as a result of • this part of the development . See Appendix A for a complete listing of the characteristics of these developments .• :The data used in Appendix A was compiled through interviews with various sources . While the information is presented in precise dollar amounts , acreage and square foot mea- surements , the figures are meant to represent estimates of possible land uses based on average costs and useage in Mounds View and the Metropolitan area . III . Revenues Generated-Property Tax and Certain Intergovernmental Transfers A. City Revenues General revenue sources typically generate the vast majority of municipal revenues through such sources as real and personal property taxes , user charges , intergovernmental transfers from the state and federal governments and various fines and per- mits among others . In Fiscal Year 1981 , the City of Mounds View received revenues primarily from taxes ( 22%) , intergovernmental transfers ( 38%) including homestead credit and fiscal disparities , charges for services ( 6% ) , and interest on investments ( 25% ) . One of the most significant sources of local city revenue is • the real property tax . Revenue projections of the city share are based on the revenues expected to be generated by the real property tax alone including homestead credit . Such revenues 7 , Final Report for residential properties are calcucaced by mu : . . ,,eying a per• tentage of the assessed valuation of the parcel by the local tax rate . In the metropolitan area the fiscal disparities law has affected the calculation of the property tax for commercial and industrial properties . Appendix B describes the property tax revenues including homestead credit generated by alterna- tive types as defined in Appendix A for three jurisdictions : city , school district and county . City revenues comprise 1 15 . 69% of the total taxes levied by the city , school district , county , metropolitan council and other jurisdictions . Revenues shown in Appendix B include monies paid to the city by other governmental agencies for homestead credit as well as locally generated property taxes . Table 1 below summar- izes the ,totalmunicipal revenues expected from property taxes for the various land uses ; they are listed below in order of the rate of return to the city . Table 1 Municipal Revenues* Land Use Type City Share 1 . Commercial Shopping Center $ 191 , 133 . 00 • 2 . Multi-Family Residential ( R-4 ) $ 176 , 830. 00 3 . Mix : Commercial and R-4 $116 , 705 . 00 • 4 . Industrial/Office $ 101 , 684 . 00 5 . Townshouses (R-3 ) $ 100 , 207 . 00 6 . Single Family ( R-1 ) $ 39 , 494 . 00 7 . Vacant $4 , 330. 00 * Sources of revenue include property taxes and homestead credits . B. School District Revenues In addition to the property tax , considerable revenue is gen- erated fir the school d -t ict by state fo-u-n--d-ation aids . $ 1333 per pupil unit in foundation aid was received by the school dis- trict in the study year ( 1981 ) . Pupil unit ( PU ) does not di- rectly correspond to the number of students , as placement in school results in various PU designations ; . 5 PU for kinder- garten , 1 . 0 PU for elementary , and 1 . 4 PU for secondary . For the purposes of the study , revenue projections were made based on the number of actual pupils . This results in a somewhat conservative estimate . Appendix C details the populations an- ticipated from development of the residential alternatives and the revenues generated by the state ' s foundation aid and the property tax to the Mounds View School District . Revenues generated by development type in descending order of total property tax dollars raised for the school district are shown in Table 2 . 4111 ,_c Final Report • Table 2 School District Revenues* Land Use Type School District Share of Property Tax 1 . Commercial Shopping Center $605 , 558. 00 R-4 , Multi-family $560 , 244 . 00 3 . Mix : R-4 and Strip Commercial $ 369 , 752 . 00 4 . Industrial $322 , 135 . 00 5 . R-3 , Townhouses $ 317 , 481 . 00 h . R-1 , Single and Two Family $ 125 , 128 . 00 Vacant $ 13 , 719 . 00 * Sources of revenue include property tax and homestead credit . School district revenues from the property tax comprise 49 . 71Z of the total taxes levied by all jurisdictions . In addition to the property tax and foundation aid , revenue co the schools comes from other state aids , federal aids and some local fundic,, through fees and other sources . For the purposes of Table 2 , only property tax revenues including homestead credits were tabulated . IV . Expenditures Incurred-Municipal and School District 1110 A. Service Costs : Municipal In order to calculate municipal service costs for the various development alternatives , it is necessary to distinguish be- tween residential developments ( R-1 , R-3 , and R-4 ) and commer- cial and industrial . The methodology for projection of resi- dential service costs differ from those used to estimate non- residential service expenditures . The public costs of increased service demands due to growth are chose primary costs including operating costs , such as police and fire staff salaries , nec- essary to fulfill the , public demand for municipal services . Secondary costs or public costs co jurisdictions other than the municipality are not considered . These projected service costs also assume that the front end costs of development , such as roads and water mains are born by the developer . 1 . Residential Development : Municipal Costs The following table was developed using analysis techni- ques for residential development . The methods were designs::: for HUD by the Center for Urban Policy Research at Rutger ' s University . Using these methods , costs can be assigned to population generators . Three methods of calculation were used in order to provide a range of expected costs for municipal services . The three methods are : a . Service Standard - method of computation using re- gional data of the standards of employees per 1000 population of the approximate size and same geogra- phic area as Mounds View . For example , the typical city in the north central region of the U. S . of the Final Report 4111 size of Mounds View has 1 . 72 policemen per 1000 pop- ulation on its staff . ( See Appendix D. ) The staf- fing ratio for Mounds View ' s police department is . 95 police officers per 1000 population or 55% of the regional standard . However , these standards were developed in the 1970 ' s prior to the extensive bud- get cutting and staff reductions of local governments in the last few years . Since regional data is used , it must be noted that local realities may vary signif- icantly from the standard . b . Per Capita Multiplier - projection of expected muni- cipal costs based on current proportion of expendi- tures assigned to residential use . Considered by some to be more accurate due CO the use of local data, rather than regional information . ( See Appendix E. ) The per capita multiplier method relies on detailed demographic data by housing type and the average costs per person/ pupil of municipal and school dis- trict expenses in order to project an annual cost of service assignable to growth. c . Current Expense per Resident - calculation of current municipal - costs per resident pr-ojected on new pop- ulation . ( See Appendix F. ) Table 3 details the costs of municipal services projected by these three methods . The costs, are then subtracted from the expected revenues to determine a net cost ( - ) or revenue excess (+) . • • • I V Final Report • Table 3 Municipal : Residential Cost/Revenue Analysis Projected • Municipal Revenues Generated Total By Properry I'roi ( cred - ll of Tax ( includiuh Municipal Net Municipdi Development House- Projected Homeste?d Service Cost/Revenue Type holds Population Credit ) Costs - / + $ 116 , 5552 -$77 , 061 ` R-1 156 577 $39 , 494 S66 , 3553 -$26 ,.8613 $57 , 782" -$18 , 2884 $286 , 999- -$ 186 , 792 - R-3 471 1420 $100 , 207 S163 , 3003 -$63 , 0933 $ 142 , 1984 -$41 , 9914 2 9 $247 , 239- -$70 , 409- R-4 . $70 , 409R-4 . 806 1221 $ 176 , 830 $ 140 , 4153 +$36 , 4153 $ 122 , 2714 +$54 , 5594 • Mix : R-4 $ 122 , 4043 -$34 , 666` portion 400 606 $87 , 738 $69 , 6904 +$ 18 , 0484 oonly $60 , 685 +$27 , 053 1 See Appendix B. 2 Upper range of costs or cost/revenue based on Service Standard method of calculation .

( See Appendix E. ) Considered most reliable . 4 Lower range of projected costs or cost/ revenue based on existing bud- get : 1981 dollars spent per resident of Mounds View . ( See Appendix F. ) Source : Consultants calculations . The figures in Table 3 provide a range of costs of muni- cipal services of four residential development types . For example , a R-1 Single and Two Family development of 156 houses would result in a projected population of 577 per- sons and generate $39 , 494 in property taxes ( including homestead credit ) . Using three methods of projecting ex- III penses , the R-1 housing development might demand $57 , 782 to $ 116 , 555 worth of city services for a net cost to the : incl Report city of $ 18 , 288 to $77 , 061 , since the development ' s muni— cipal service costs exceed revenues generated . Both R-1 • and R-3 residential growth appear to place a burden on local municipal revenues using all three calculation meth— ods , while multi—family housing contributes to municipal revenues beyond its costs using two projection techniques . These assumptions are general and not related to any speci- fic development proposal . Depending on the specific pro— posal , the net cost/revenue may be altered dramatically . Furthermore , the upper range cost projection based on the Service Standard method is grossly inflated for Mounds View , thereby causing the upper range to be extremely hi„ k relative to the other projections because Mounds View City Government is not staffed at the ratio suggested by the service standards . The middle cost estimate is less than half the upper figure and within about 15% of the lower projection in all instances . As has been noted previously , the effect of local prac— tice on staffing ratio , in part determined by state and national economy , must be taken into consideration . While national service standards ( based on 1970 ' s data ) suggest that the City of Mounds View might typically have 1 . 72 patrolmen per 1000 population , Mounds View has currently . 95 police officers per 1000 residents , a significant var— iation from the standard . Therefore , for the purposes of this study the upper figure would not be accurate . The two lower figures tend to give credibility to one another in that they vary by 15% or less . This seems an appropriate range fo-r estimating net cost/revenue of residential developments to the munici— pality . 2 . Nonresidential Development : Municipal Costs Due to the residential nature of the City of Mounds View , the application of typical cost projection methods to de— termine nonresidential service costs can result in highly inflated projections . For example , using the proportional valuation method resulted in a projected cost for city services for a commercial shopping center of $67 , 000 , 000 ; and the use of the employment anticipation method is in— appropriate for Mounds View since employment expected from commercial and/or industrial development probably would not result in a sizeable population moving to the commun— ity due to Mounds View geographic location and degree of current development . • A modified version of the Case Study Method has been util— ized to obtain data for use in estimating municipal ser— vice costs for the commercial and industrial sectors . Since Public Safety and Public Works service categories make up an average of 90% of nonresidential municipal ser— • vice costs nationwide , it is essential to determine an approximate cost of these categories . The following ap— proximate distribution by municipal service category ap— plies to commercial and industrial land uses nationally .

Source : The Fiscal Impact Guidebook , HUu , July , lyti_i . Assuming that Mounds View is rather typical of communi— ties nationwide in its distribution of service costs for nonresidential land use , several projections can be made when given current public safety expenditures by existing land use . Interviews with local city officials resulted in the following assumptions regarding the proportional • costs of police protection according to type of land use . Table 5 details the estimates of distribution of city resources ( staff and budget ) for police services currentl in the City of Mounds View. : , Table 5 Police' Protection Resource Distrinution Service Land Use Type Distribution of City Resources Per Cent % Dollars $ Police R-1 combined 3U% $ 1 21 , 442 R-3 R-4 43% $ 174 , 067 Commercial 25% $ 101 , 202 Industrial 2% $8 , 096 TOTAL 100% $404 , 807 Source : Mounds View Officials Current police services to commercial and industrial prop- erties account for approximately 27% of the local police protection budget for 1981 for approximately 94 acres of 1111 commercial and industrial land ( excluding roads and open space) at a cost of $ 1 , 632 average per acre commercial and $253 average per acre industrial . � T Final Report Since public safety services account for an average of • 75% nationally of the municipal costs co service these land uses , the calculation or public safety costs is an important determinant of general city expenditures for commercial and industrial properties . • a. Method 1 : Case Study The calculation of public safety and public works for commercial development is based on interviews with local officials . The categories of public safer,• and public works comprise about 85% ( national aver- age ) of the costs of municipal service delivery to commercial and industrial development . Th"e public safety sector is composed of police , fire and civil defense , building inspection and nuisance abatement . Table 6 notes the breakdown by category within the public safety budget . Table 6 Annual Budget - 1981 Public Safety $ Police $404 , 807 74% Fire $71 , 945 13% 1111 buildings Inspection $37 , 786 7% Civil Defense $26 , 324 5% Nuisance Abatement $6 , 036 1 % TOTAL $546 , 898 100% As Table 5 suggests , about 25% of the current police budget is spent on services for commercial land use that consumes 61 . 7 acres ; and approximately 2Z of the police budget is directed toward industrial use • on 31 . 9 acres . Method 1 calculation assumes that • the acreage for commercial land use ( 01 . 7 acres ) as described in Appendix G includes both the building and surrounding grounds of the commercial and Indus- ; trial properties . ( See Appendix H . ) Fire protection services are provided by joint agree- ment with the cities of Blaine , Spring Lake Park ana • Mounds View. Fire costs are assessed as a percen- tage of total assessed valuation of real and persona property of all three cities . For example , in 1981 the total fire budget for all three cities was $270 , ' : 7 . Of this amount , Mounds View paid 24 . 9% or approxi- mately $67 , 500 on the basis that the total assessed valuation of Mounds View was 24 . 9% of the total asse.:- sed valuation of all three communities . Calcula- • tions in Appendix I to determine the costs of fire protection are based on the following assumptions : Final Keuor t ( 1 ) the city of Mounds View increases its assessed valuation , Blaine and Spring Lake Park do not , ill ( 2 ) fire costs are based on assessed valuation in the city not on usage , ( 3 ) fire costs will increase dependent upon the assessed valuation of the property not the rela— tive safety of the structure . Public safety costs are estimated in Appendix J based on the projections in Appendix H and 1 . Since these costs are about 75% of the total municipal costs , estimates of total city expenditures are included . b . Method 2 : Proportional Valuation The cost of principal services can also be calcu— lated using the proportional valuation method . This method assigns a share of existing municipal service costs to the nonresidential sector by using propor— tional valuation based on real property tax estim— ated market value and refinement coefficients applied toward local municipal expenditures . ( See Appendix K. ) Using this technique $500 , 321 is the approximate service cost of the existing commercial and indus— trial sectors with the commercial sector accounting for $444 , 285 and the industrial area demanding $ 56 , 036 worth of municipal services annually as estimated • by local official's .. The commercial and industrial hypothetical develop— ments suggested in Appendix A would consume 13 . 43 acres for; the industrial complex , 15 . 67 acres for the shopping center and 2 . 3 acres for the strip commer— cial . Current commercial land use is 61 . 7 acres and 31 . 9 acres is industrial . Appendix L projects two estimates of the costs of delivery of municipal ser— vices based on current costs of nonresidential muni— cipal service . c-. Case Sr_ndy and Proportional Valuation Data Table 7 details the data projected by both methods in order to provide a range of suggested costs . Table 7 Municipal Service Costs : Nonresidential Municipal Costs : Land Use Case Study Projection* Proportional Valuation Method** Estimate 1 Estimate 2 Mix : Commer— • cial portion $55 , 521 $16 , 562 $ 144 , 020 Commercial $ 144 , 383 $ 112 , 840 $322 , 533 • Industrial $35 , 120 $23 , 596 $78 , 696 * See Appendix J. ** See Appendix L. Final Report The range of projections is quite large . The estim- ates arrived at through toe proportional valuation method appear to be too extreme . The case study approach generally yielas more reliable data since it is based on conditions as they currently exist in the City of Mounds View. The projection from the Case Study method is used in the summary table ' as being most representative of the anticipated : costs to the city of commercial and/or industrial development . Several factors should be considered when interpreting the projections of municipal service costs for com- mercial and industrial development as outlined in Table 7 . ( I ) These projected costs presume chat all front end costs of development ( i . e . roans , sewers , and water mains ) are born by the developer at no cost to city taxpayers . ( 2 ) Many commercial shopping centers and industrial parks also maintain their own security and road systems . The capitol costs of those systems , as well as their operating costs are generally borne by the facility . Burnsville Center , for example , has its own systems for internal and • • external security . The local police are invol- ved in processing those complaints turned over • to them by the private security force so some municipal service costs are incurred , but at a lower rate than in a strip highway commercial center without private security protection . According to a local Burnsville official , the Center has minimal impact on city service expen- ditures . ( 3 ) The construction of a regional shopping center has a great impact on the roads in the region . This may put the greatest cost burden on the state since major feeder roads to regional shop- ping centers tend to be federal or state high- ways . (4 ) These regional facilities also tend to encourage periferal development as a secondary consequence and the subsequent transfer of the tax base and consumer dollar can place a tremendous burden on existing business in the community . ( 5 ) Current stringent fire codes can require the installation of sophisticated smoke and heat sensing devices , sprinkler systems , computer activated exhaust mechanisms and pinpoint water systems in new commercial and industrial devel- opment . Due to the current method of assessing fire costs to the three communities , the net 3 J Final Report • effect of new development would be to increase the percentage 01 the assessment whether or not these sophisticated services are used . ( 6 ) While the commercial shopping center is pro- jected to have a higher service r"oe, t than the strip commercial , depending on the type of busi- nes activity conducted , these costs could vary greatly. Certain types of business obviously will require greater municipal service than others . This may be partially compensated for through the permit or licensing process . ( 7 ) Certain system wide ( residential ;Ind nonresi- dential ) capitol outlay may be necessary with any type of additional development . For exam- ple , the current water delivery system may not he able to ahsorI addii connl user;; of any magr,— nitude . This analysis has not considered the cost effect of building a new well or storage system. B . Service Costs : School District • 1980-81 operating . costs per YU for the Mounds View school dis- trict averaged $2 , 074 . In addition , capital outlay ( $85) ane debt service ( $ 127 ) increase the cost per PU to $2 , 286 . As Appendix C indicates , the residential developments generate varying projections for expected school populations . These estimates will tend to be somewhat conservative due to the lack of data available to estimate age categories of projected school populations . Table 8 combines regional data from Appen- dix C with specific operating , capital outlay and debt service costs for the Mounds View school district in order to deter- mine an approximate cost to service the projectea school pop- ulations . The costs estimated in Table 8 would likely be lib- eral . This may compensate somewhat for the conservative pupil unit estimates . The projected service costs listed in Table 8 must be viewed with the understanding that they are based on 1980-81 averages for current services . Additional school populations could have a minimal cost effect depending upon the circumstances of the district . For example , if current staffing ratios are such that additional pupils could be absorbed into existing classes throughout the system , school district costs would be minimizec . However , if the addition of 256 students would overcrowd an • already crowded system , forcing expenditures on additional • staff , supplies and perhaps buildings , the effect of develop- ment on the cost of delivery of services would far exceed the • estimates given in Table 8 . In order to determine the exact 410 cost per additional pupil unit , a detailed case study of the Mounds View school system would have to be undertaken.

Summary and Conclusions As noted throughout this report , because of the general nature • of this study and the many intangiables and variablies involved , the results of the study may not be directly transferable to a specific case study or project . Fiscal impact study and analysis is a complicated process which relies on extensive record keeping at best . Without such records , regional data must be used which may not be an accurate reflection of the situation in Mounds View. This is especially true in attempting to determine service costs for the different land uses . Not only is the basic data diffi— cult to obtain , but the standards for different services such as police and fire protection are at best very subjective or general in nature or lacking entirely . Having stated this and recognizing the limitations of the study , the study results may be useful for the elected officials in certain circumstances . For example , every attempt was made to use " realistic" development proposals both in terms of densi— ties and price ranges and the fiscal disparities act was in— cluded in the analysis and calculations . Thus , the revenue side of the fiscal impact analysis may be relatively accurate with the cost side for the services being less accurate . As such , the results of the study can be used by the local offi— cials as one input among several as a means to establish future development policies for the city or in reviewing large devel— opment proposals . Another major conclusion of the study is that these studies • can be improved in terms of accuracy by establishing different record keeping procedures than those commonly used by govern— mental units . Thus , the City of Mounds View needs co deter— mine whether it wants to modify some of the existing record— keeping procedures in order to improve the accuracy of future fiscal impact studies .

The County has agreed that these monies will he used only for those eligible .programs selected by a committee made up representatives of the cities in the county and the county. 4110 . 1111 µ-' 7 Community Development Block Grant 1110 The Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) program, under the aegis of the U. S . Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD) , provides cities and counties with funding for the initiation and continuation of a diverse array of housing and community development projects. Community Development Block Grants are allocated by virtue of a formula allocating 80% of the funds to Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA ) , and 20% to non-metropolitan areas . Of the 80% of the money distributed to SMSA' s, most of the grant money takes the form of entitlement grants. A city or county eligible to receive an entitlement grant automatically receives the grant by submitting an application containing eligible uses for the `money. Jurisdictions eligible for entitlement grants include cities with population over 50 , 000 which are central cities of an SMSA, urban counties ( counties having a poplulation of at least 200 , 000 not including the population of the central city) , and central cities of an SMSA with population under 7)0 , 000 . The remaining cities and counties may apply on a competitive basis for discretionary grants to fund eligible activities . 1thouch CDBC money is designed to be a source of :financial1111 assistance to help meet housing and community development needs , :estri :tions upon the use of these funds exist. There are two general rules with respect to the type of projects or activities that may be funded through the CDBG proara- . The ,initial rule establishes the three categories of projects for which the block grant projects or activities can he used . These categories include projects or activities that, ( 1 ) principally benefit low and moderate income persons ; ( 2 ) eliminate slums or blight; or ( 3 ) meet other community development needs having a particular urgency. The second rule stipulates that 75% of the program funds should be used for projects or activities that principally •^ - • •• - - - e income persons. Eligible uses for CDBG money include acquisition of real property, relocation payments , street improvements, neighbor- hood facilities , recreation facilities , solid waste disposal facilities , public improvements, removal of architectural barriers , fire protection and parking facilities , historic preservation , economic development, public services such as child care and rehabilitation loan and grant assistance . Ineligible activities include funding for buildings and facilities for the general conduct of government and the construction of the following public facilities : ( 1 ) facilities used for exhibitions , spectator events , and cultural purposes ; ( 2 ) schools and educational facilities ; (3 ) airports and bus , 4110 rail , or other transit facilities ; ( 4 ) hospitals , nursing homes , and other medical facilities ; ( 5 ) treatment for sewage or industrial wastes ; ( 6 ) general government expenses ; and ( 7 ) new housing construction .

NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mounds View that Resolution No. 1434 is hereb repealed . Y BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: The following guidelines are established relating to the acceptance , consideration , and approval of applications for Tax Increment Financing assistance . However , applicants should understand that , notwithstanding observance of these guidelines, the City Council may in its sole judgement reject an application or that the City Council may in its sole judgement approve an application notwithstanding that one or more guidelines have not been complied with : 1 . Applicants will submit an economic feasibility report concerning the proposed Tax Increment Financing project to the City at least ten ( 10 ) working days prior to the Council meeting at which the applicant will seek preliminary Council approval . Said report shall contain the following information : a. A narrative description of the proposal including a map showing the area to be involved in the Tax Increment Financing District. b. An analysis and description of the costs to be funded with Tax increment Financing and presented in budget form including the proposed amounts of indebtedness. c . The sources of income used to retire to the indebtedness. > r -2- 1111 An economic development district may function for eight years from the date of first receipt of increments or 10 years from approval of the tax increment financing plan . To understand how tax increment financing works, an example may be useful . By definition , tax increment financing deals only with the increased property taxes that are generated from within the district. It does not prexempt the amount of property taxes derived from the district prior to development or redevelopment, nor does it directly affect the amount or rate of general ad valorem taxes levied in the municipality. The result of a tax increment financing project is an increased tax base that will ultimately benefit all local taxing jurisdictions . For example , consider a property with a dilapidated building that is now producing $500/year in property taxes. If this property were acquired by the city , cleared and resold for private development so as to produce $3 , 000/year in property taxes , there would be a tax increment of $2 , 500/year . The funds to acquire the property, remove the dilapidated building and install authorized public improvements could be obtained by the sale of general obligation bonds by the city. After redevelopment, the original $500 in annual property taxes would continue to go to the local taxing jurisdictions , but the $2, 500 annual tax increment would go toward the repayment of the bonds. After the bonds were retired , the entire $3 , 000 in annual property taxes would go to all local taxing jurisdictions , assuming the mill rate remains constant. As is the case with Industrial Development Bonds, Tax Increment Bonds may be issued only after issuance is authorized by the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development pursuant to statutory guidelines. • 4-� % Tax Increment Financing 4111 The authority for cities to use tax increment financing is found in the Development District Act (M. S . 472A) . The complex procedures for using tax increment financing are the same no matter what type of project is envisioned . When using tax increment financing , a plan is mandatory and the number of years the tax increment may be used to repay the general obligation bonds issued to finance a project is limited . The Tax Increment Financing Act (M .S . 273 . 71 to 273 . 78 ) provides further restrictions on the use of tax increment financing . The three types of districts allowed by this Act and the various restrictions placed upon them are as follows . 1 . Redevelopment District - An area or areas of land in a city may be designated as a redevelopment district and receive tax increments for a period of 25 years if the following conditions are met. ( a ) 70 percent of the parcels in the districts are occupied by buildings and 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard and 30 percent of the buildings are non- conforming , i . e . , do not comply with the1111 . city' s housing code , are zoned different than the use or the city ' s Comprehensive Plan calls for a different use ; or ( b) unusual terrain or soil deficiences resulting in excessive constructon costs exist.

RESOLUTION NO. 1847 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY 1111 STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 1125 AND SETTING GUIDE- LINES FOR THE ISSUANCE OF TAX EXEMPT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS OR LOANS BY THE CITY WHEREAS , Minnesota Statutes permit the issuance of tax exempt industrial development loans and bonds ( IDB ' s ) in cases where construction of new facilities will increase a community ' s tax base , relieve unemployment , eliminate blight or threat of blight and provide a needed product or service , and WHEREAS, in some cases the City might not be able to -attract or retain a desireable business or industry unless the City makes tax free financing available , and WHEREAS , other states and other communities have made and are making use of tax exempt financing to attract industrial development , and WHEREAS , the City welcomes industrial and commercial development , and WHEREAS, persons and firms seek a general framework within which they may be guided in requesting tax free financing; and WHEREAS , Resolution No . 1125 adopted on July 14 , 1980 set guidelines for the issuance of tax exempt industrial bonds or loans by the City ; and WHEREAS , it is the desire of the City Council to revise the guidelines established by Resolution No . 1125 . NOW THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mounds View that Resolution No . 1125 is hereby repealed . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: The following guidelines are established relating to the acceptance , consideration , and approval of applications for tax exempt industrial development loans . However, applicants understand that, notwithstanding observance of these guidelines , the City Council may in its sole judgement reject an application or that the City Council may in its sole judgement approve an application notwithstanding that one or more guidelines have not been complied with : 1 . Applicants will submit information concerning • the proposed financing on a form provided by or satisfactory to the City at least ten ( 10 ) working days prior to the Council meeting at which the applicant will seek Council approval . 4-4 1 t 1111 1 . Manufacturing projects J 2 . Pollution control or waste management projects with no more than 20% of the authorized alloca- tion being allocated to these projects. 3 . Commericial redevelopment projects with no more than 35% of the authorized allocation being allocated for these projects . At this time the future of IRBs is uncertain due to legisla- tion presently being considered by the United States Congress part of the Tax Bill designed to reduce the Federal deficit. It is a near certainty that IRBs will no longer be available in 1987 and may become prohibited sooner depending upon the direction of the tax bill . • • 1111 - 1 1 Industrial Development/Industrial Revenue Bonds The Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act (M.S . 474 ) , initially adopted by the Minnesota Legislature in 1967 , is a measure designed to enable cities to attract new commercial and industrial development and keep existing businesses in the city. The Act authorizes a city to issue Industrial Development/ Industrial Revenue Bonds ( IDB/IRB ) . and use the proceeds to acquire and construct commercial/industrial sites and facilities . These facilities are then leased to private industry and the rents are used to retire the bonds . The Act does not authorize a city to engage- in business . IDBs may be issued without public referendum, and the full faith and credit of a community cannot be pledged as security to these bonds . They are used by many communities 'to stimulate economic development, create new employment opportunities and broaden local tax bases . The law enables communities - Including counties , redevelopment agencies and port authorities - to finance health care facilities, abatement of air and water pollution , the disposal of solid waste , the development of industry and manufacturing , the redevelopment and/or development of commercial enterprises such as retail stores , restaurants , hotels and motels , and office buildings and multi-family housing projects . Among the advantages IDB financing offers businesses are financing of 100% of project costs and lower interest rates . Interest rates are lower because interest paid to the holders of bonds is tax-exempt under current Federal Law. However, this tax exempt status is currently being considered for elimination by Congress. , Since IRBs do not pledge the full faith and credit of the community, property owners may not be taxed to pay principal and interest on them. In 1980 the Mounds View City Council adopted Resolution No . 1125 , "Setting Guidelines for the Issu- - . . - is Development Bonds or Loans By the City" . On December 17, 1984 Resolution No . 1847 , copy attached , was adopted repealing Resolution No. 1125 and establishing a new set of guidelines for the issuance of IRBs . Also in 1984 the Minnesota Legislature in response to action taken by the Federal Government to limit the total value of IRBs issued by individual states on an annual basis, established guidelines for the distribution of the state ' s allocation to the various governmental jurisdictions eligible to issue IRBs . These guidelines were revised in 1986 to provide that in 1987 the allocation for use by the non-entitlement units of government would be based upon awards being made each month from the list of eligible applicants . Eligibility will be determined by the 1111 Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development ( DEED) using the 15 criteria established by the Legislature . The Legislature also provided that issuance authority shall be allocated in the following priority order . 4 7 1111 At the present time a variety of Federal and State programs and development authority is available for use by cities to encourage economic development. All of these are currently under threat of elimination or may be severely restricted by legislation presently being considered by the United States Congress . It is difficult to predict what restrictions will ultimately be imposed , however, it is a certainty that some type of action will be taken to restrict the ability of local governmental units to offer incentives for economic development. At this time all municipal bonding authority has been restricted by HR3838 which essentially eliminates the tax-exempt status for all bond issues benefitting one individual or company for more than 10 percent of the principal . Although taxable bonds may be issued for those authorized purposes for which tax-exempt may not be issued , such restrictions have had a significant impact on the ability of cities to offer economic incentives. The future of tax-exempt municipal bonds is uncertain at this time and will remain such until Congress adopts final tax legislation . The following summaries are a listing of the various programs/authority currently available to the City of Mounds View for encouraging economic development . An Economic Development Plan for the City should not place a great deal of dependence upon any of these for the success of a program to encourage • economic development . • 4-1 • CHAPTER 4 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES • • •0 L v Ca r1 0 L O c•"> N 0r, UcnC-i +� vU iNtC GN CbU v O c0N ✓ -i 8 )-. i.+ on +h L L C1.

U > # V) 4 b-. r• 1111 in an effort to develop a program designed to attract and encourage desirable development in the community, the City Council evaluated the various options available for an economic development program and balanced available for an economic development program and balanced them against the City ' s limited resources . It was concluded at this time that the City is unable to employ staff and/or fund programs to market the City and secure development proposals . In light of these conclusions , the City ' s Economic Development Program will be restricted to outlining the types of preferred development and economic incentives or assistance that would be offered . As part of the development of this report, the City Council established goals they wished to have achieved through the Economic Development process . These goals were : 1 . Attract development that will create a positive, image of the community through its general appearance and operations. 2 . Attract development to the community that will neither detract nor divert attention from the rest of the community. • 3 . Attract commercial and industrial development to the community in order to expand the City ' s tax base and provide balance to the current predominant residential tax base . 4 . Encourage development of office and office ware- house facilities that will attract professionals and service provides currently not available within the community. 5 . Attract development to the community that will meet all of the previously stated goals and provide for an increase in the number of jobs available to the community. It can be concluded from these goals that the City is most interested in development providing services to the community which are not currently available , designed and developed in a manner so as to be an asset to the community and provide for an increased tax base, and make available more jobs within the community. Of course, the City will be responsive to any and all proposals addressing less than all of these goals , however, at no time will the City consider accepting a proposal which is not felt to meet the goal of attracting quality development. In the area of economic development incentives or assistance, the • City will consider all reasonable proposals meeting any pre-establshed guidelines , e .g . Resolution Nos. 1847 and 1848 , and/or are considered to be in the best interests of the City. It is not the desire of the City of Mounds View to establish rigid guidelines that might prohibit or discourage consideration of proposals having an overall benefit for the community . Each 6-1 4 .. proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the investment by the City will provide an adequate return to the community and whether or not any risks on the part of the City have been mitigated to the greatest degree possible . 1111 As it relates to economic development incentives or assistance, the following goals will guide to review and consideration of le'.'eloapment proposals requesting such assistance . l . If requesting Industrial Development Bond assistance , complies with the guidelines established by Resolution No. 1847; and applicable federal and state laws. 2 . If requesti.nc Tax Increment assistance , complies with the cu ide 1 ines established by Resolution No. 1848, and applicable t ,de•ral and state law. ? . it no time creat ; a debt of the City guaranteed by its full faith and credit exceeding 25 years . ` . Provides .adequate assurances , guarantees, and/or security to mitigate any and all risks which may become a future obligation of the City . 3 .
