provides that a City may create a tax increment financing district (a "TIF District") as a

similar structures, and more than 50% of the buildings, not including out buildings, are
structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10(d), provides, among

request for certification of the parcel as part of the TIF District with the county auditor; (2) the
substandard building was demolished or removed by the City, the demolition or removal was
financed by the City or was done by a developer under a development agreement with the City;
and (3) the City found by resolution, before the demolition or removal, that the parcel was

intended to include the parcel within the district.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hugo,
Minnesota, as follows:
