UPDATE ON TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AND REVIEW OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCE BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION. • IELLISON CO. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES 7200 HUDSON BLVD ,SUITE 230,OAKDALE, �1N 55125 OFFICE 651 730 0100 FAx 651-730 0303 October 14, 1999 Mr. Mike Morrison Saint Anthony Village 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418-1699 RE: The Hitching Post 2440 Highway 88 St. Anthony, MN Dear Mike: As we have discussed, the design for The Hitching Post has significantly increased the costs of the remodel and renovation of the old Town and Country Market for Mr. Furseth. Our design changes have dramatically increased the aesthetic appeal of the building and have resulted in an almost entirely new exterior of the building. It will look totally new in every respect and those people who remember what the Town and Country building looks like will not believe that it even is the same structure. These changes have been done in part in keeping with the vision that the Village of St. Anthony has for the redevelopment of the shopping center and retail area. The Hitching Post, being the first renovation and redevelopment within this area must set the stage for the other projects yet to come. This has, of course, only come at a significant price increase over what Mr. Furseth had initially intended. As it has been mentioned at the Planning Commission and City Council meeting, we are requesting that the City provide us with some assistance in the additional costs that we have incurred by providing us with economic assistance for the site development and for the purchase of the land which the Hitching Post will provide for the new greenway. We request that the City purchase the land to be dedicated to the greenway at a price of$5.00/sf. At this time we estimate that there is approximately 20,000 sf that the City wishes to purchase and therefore we are estimating a value of approximately$100,000.00 for this land purchase. With respect to the site development costs, we offer the following as a budget guideline for what we will be expending based on the anticipated design to meet the City's preliminary plans for the greenway area. Site Lighting $ 17,500.00 Landscaping $ 14,500.00 Repaving, resurfacing, and stripping $ 18,000.00 Total $ 50,000.00 The assistance provided by the City for the site development represents 7.5% of the anticipated total costs of the project. I believe that this is a significant bargain for the City in exchange for Mr. Mike Morrison October 14, 1999 Page 2 of 2 the improved tax base which will be provided by this property as well as the aesthetic upgrading of this significant redevelopment project in the City's main southern entry and shopping area. We respectfully request that the City Council provide assistance in the total amount of $180,000.00 for the purchase of the land and the improvements listed above. Please advise me at your earliest possible convenience as to the steps necessary to incorporate this request into the developer's agreement. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter. Respectfully yours, James E. Kellison President JEK/jjv c: Jim Furseth • DRAFT CITY OF ST. ANTHONY H.R.A.

PRESENTATION OF CITY'S 2000 BUDGET. 18 The Mayor reported that this was the second worksession that the Council has held regarding 19 the Year 2000 City Budget. He indicated that the reason for tonight's worksession meeting 20 was to continue to gather input from the residents. He reported that once the City holds its 21 Truth in Taxation Meeting on November 30, 1999, there will be limited time to make any 22 further revisions to the Budget. The Mayor also reported that the City can only increase the 23 levy to $30,000 and the draft Budget reflects this increase. He indicated that the City has the 24 ability to reduce its levy but cannot increase it once its been set. The City Manager reported •25 that the $30,000 increase in the City's levy represents an increase of 1%. 26 27 The City Manager reported that the Personal Service portion of the General Operating Fund is 28 seeing a 3% increase due mostly to cost-of-living salary increases for City Staff and negotiated 29 contractual wage increases for the organized employees. The City Manager also reported that 30 the provision of City services is approximately 70% of the City's budget. He said the balance 31 is for equipment, materials and infrastructure improvements. The City Manager reviewed the 32 estimated costs for capital equipment purchases and the City projects scheduled for 2000. He 33 also reported that the goals that Staff and Council developed at the Goal Setting Retreat in 34 January are mostly completed. 35 36 The City Manager reported on where the taxes that are collected go. He indicated that 50% of 37 the money goes to the schools; 25% goes to the County; 20% goes to the City and the 38 remaining 5% goes to special taxing districts, such as the Rice Creek Watershed District. 39 40 The Finance Director reported that the total levy for the City is $1,885,112. He reported that 41 tax rates are down 1.871% from last year's tax rate. He also reported an increase in property 42 valuation. He indicated that commercial property increased $2.8 million in valuation; 43 residential property increased $17 million; and rental property (apartments) has increased $1.4 44 million. He reported that the impact on an average residential property located in Hennepin 45 County is that owners of a home valued at $125,000 that had no change in valuation would see • 46 a decrease of$39.34 in City taxes. Those residents in Ramsey County with a similar 47 residential valuation would see a decrease of$41.70. 1 2 IV. UPDATE ON PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY. • 3 Council decided to table this report until a worksession meeting in January. 4 5 V. TIF SUMMARY AND ST. ANTHONY SHOPPING CENTER ISSUES. 6 The City Manager reviewed the letter from Jerry Gilligan, Dorsey & Whitney law firm 7 regarding the effect of recent amendments to the Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act on 8 the Kenzie Terrace TIF District. Mr. Gilligan reported that the City will need to expend the 9 balance of TIF in this district by December 31, 1999 or it will revert back to the State. The 10 City Manager indicated that if Council is interested in adding projects to the TIF Summary, it 11 will require a public hearing. He indicated that this item will be scheduled for the October 12'b 12 Council Meeting. 13 14 The City Manager reported on a letter received from Jim Kellison regarding TIF request for 15 the Hitching Post. The City Council asked him to continue discussing the Hitching Post's 16 financial needs with Mr. Kellison. 17 18 The City Manager reported that he will be meeting with the owner of Furniture Liquidators, 19 the owner of Phillips 66 service station and the manager of Walker to discuss the St. Anthony 20 Shopping Center landscaping plan and proposed green space plan. He will also be meeting 21 with the Shopping Center's owners and the owner of the Hitching Post to continue planning 22 landscape and green space for the Center. 23 • 24 The City Manager reported that Dick Krier will be presenting the revised landscaping plan at 25 the Planning Commission's October meeting and at the City Council's October 26te meeting. 26 He also indicated that the plan that has been distributed is what the Shopping Center's owners' 27 architect had envisioned. He indicated that some of the footprints of buildings as shown on 28 this plan are either non-existent or incorrect. He said that he will request that a corrected plan 29 be submitted to the City. 30 31 VI. DISCUSS FUTURE COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS. 32 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the Council would be interested in exploring the idea of 33 having one garbage hauler for the City in January as well. He indicated that he didn't know 34 why the City has several where having one made sense from a noise and a preservation of the 35 infrastructure point of view. The Mayor reported on the study they did several years ago. He 36 indicated that they established a task force and at the end of the study, they determined that it 37 was in the City's best interest to leave this open to competition. The Mayor said that by doing 38 so, the rates charged the residents would be competitive and less expensive. He also said that 39 the City would assume a certain level of responsibility for bad service. He indicated that by 40 having several haulers, the competition would also help provide better service. 41 42 The City Manager reported that the Council will be approving plans for the Silver Lake Road 43 bridge project at the November 9'b Council meeting. 44 45 The City Manager reported that at the November 2' worksession that the Council will need to • 46 canvass the election results and that the meeting cannot start until 8:00 p.m., once the polls are 47 closed. 2 1 2 VII.
