Approve Resolution Amending the Tag Abatement Joint Powers Agreement with White Bear Lake School District In the fall of 2005, the City Council issued General Obligation Tax Abatement Bonds and used the proceeds to acquire right-of-way for CSAH 8 and to build Oneka Parkway. The White Bear Lake School District also used a portion of the bond proceeds to construct Oneka Elementary School. Thus, the school district opted to participate in the tax abatement process and agreed, through a Joint Powers Agreement, to annually contribute to the debt service on the bonds. Earlier this year the City refinanced the original bond issue and achieved significant savings, a portion of which is being passed on to the School District via an amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement. The attached resolution decreases the payments due to the City between 07/15/15 through 01/15/20 by the aggregate amount of $155,731. Upon adoption the amendment will be forwarded to the School District for consideration by their board at its April 24th meeting.
