OCTOBER 7, 1996 The purpose of the hearing and the proposed resolutions is to expand and modify municipal development and Tax Increment Financing districts in the City in the anticipation of redevelopment activity. The City Council at its September 3, 1996 meeting, approved Resolution 96-95 calling for the Public Hearing and the consideration of the proposed modification to our Development districts and tax increment financing districts. Accordingly a public notice was placed in the official newspaper. The Council acted in response to a recommendation from the City's Economic Development Authority. The districts are adjacent to Highway 13 and the actions reflect a culmination of planning efforts for the past several months that have focused on the desirability of stimulating redevelopment of certain blighted properties and the funding of certain public infrastructure improvements. The City's Economic Development Consultant, Roger Guenette explained to the Economic Development Authority and to the City Council the legal and financial aspects of the proposed action on September 3. The attached booklets, prepared by Mr. Guenette, also explain in detail the nature of the modifications. DISCUSSION: The proposals have been reviewed with both the school district and County officials. The school district's written comments are attached. A meeting with the County also 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E..

The right of way associated with the project would be included in District 2-4; certain additional property, namely the triangular property where the current auto parts store is located, would be included in the expanded boundaries of Districts 1 and 2. The attached September 25, 1996 memorandum from Roger Guenette further explains that and includes a map. The Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution 96-33 PC on September 23, 1996; it makes the finding that the plan for modification of these districts conforms to City plans for development of the locality as a whole. The adoption of the proposed resolutions is necessary to put in place the required tools that can eventually be used by the City in dealing with property owners and developers as plans for redevelopment are crafted and proposed. These resolutions do not constitute financial obligations by the City at this time. Any financial participation by the City for this project or for multiple projects in this area in the future would be brought to the City Council for consideration. The modification of the districts as contemplated provide the City with greater flexibility in the use of tax increments to support redevelopment of the various downtown areas. The Council should determine whether the Park Nicollet clinic site should be included in the district so that the increment is available. The original budget for the district was established at $2.8 million to provide for public infrastructure and other actions prerequisite to the redevelopment effort. The recommendation by the County to include the TH 13/Five Hawks intersection increased the project budget to $3.5 million to provide financial assistance to this significant road improvement, which is part of the overall ring road concept which the City has been seeking to implement for years. The County has already determined that this action is within their policy guidelines. Superintendent Sonnebend has also reviewed the proposed modifications. He is in favor of including the TH 13 / Five Hawks intersection in the District. The Council has the following alternatives: T 1. Adopt Resolution 96-103 and Resolution 96-104 following the public hearing as is or as amended 2. Defer action on adopting the resolutions with direction for further information following the public hearing. 3. Do not adopt the resolutions following the public hearing. RECOMMENDATION: Alternative 1. ACTION REQUIRED: Conduct the scheduled public hearing and make two motions for adoption of the two resolutions needed to m and expand the districts. /' I Attachm~ Resolutions(2) September 26, 1996 memorandum from Roger Guenette September 6, 1996 memorandum from Roger Guenette September 3, 1996 City Council minutes and Resolution 96-95 Planning Commission report and Resolution "Municipal Development Districts numbers 1 and 2 modifications" prepared by Advanced Resources for Development, Inc.

DOC AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER WHEREAS, the City on October 7, 1996, after having published a notice of public hearing in the official newspaper of the City, conducted a public hearing on the plan Booklet and received public comments on the same. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota as follows: 1. The City fmds and determines that there is a need for the activities of Development Districts Nos. 1 and 2 to be financed in part by the tax increments from the District. 2. The City finds and determines that the activities to be financed by the tax increments from the District will carry out the objectives of Development Districts Nos. 1 and 2 by encouraging redevelopment, providing job opportunities and enhancing the tax base. 3. The City finds and determines that the prevention/elimination of blight, provision for job opportunities and the preservation and enhancement of the tax base are in the public interest of the City and the expenditures of the District are a public purpose. 4. The City finds and determines that the tax increment financing plan as set forth in the Plan Booklet having been duly reviewed and considered is hereby approved and adopted, and the area described in Exhibit A hereto is hereby designated as a Redevelopment District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174, Subd. 10. 5. The City finds and determines that the expansion of District No. 2-4 qualifies as a Redevelopment District because it will result in redevelopment of thirteen parcels of land, 100% of which are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other improvements and four of the seven buildings (57%) are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. These conditions are found to exist at all non-contiguous sites as required under Minnesota Statutes, section 469.174 Subd. 10(b) 4(d). 6. The City finds and determines that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. 7. The City finds and determines that the Market Value increase estimated for the proposed Project is greater than what could reasonably be expected to occur if tax increment financing was not available. 8. The City fmds and determines that the tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the District by private enterprise. R:\COUNCn.\RESOLUTI\RES96 I 04. DOC 9. The City finds and determines that the tax increment financing plan set forth in the Plan Booklet conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole. 10. The reasons and supporting facts for findings 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 as set forth on pages 6 and 7 of the Plan Booklet are by this reference confirmed, approved and adopted. 11. The City elects to retain tax increment revenues generated in District No. 2-4 pursuant to clause (a) of Minnesota Statues, Section 469.177 Subdivision 3, Paragraphs 1 and 2. By making this election tax increment revenues generated within District No. 2-4 will not be made available for calculation or sharing with the fiscal disparity provisions of Chapter 473 F. 12. The City Clerk shall request the auditor of Scott County to certify the original tax capacity and original local tax rate of the District approved by this resolution. 13. The City elects to make a "qualified local contribution" equal to 5% of the tax increment generated in District No. 2-4 pursuant to Minnesota Laws 1996, Chapter 471, Article 7. 14. The City Clerk is hereby directed to file a copy of this resolution with a copy of the Plan Booklet to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. 15. The City hereby states its intention to use all of the captured tax capacity for purposes of tax increment financing as per the conditions set forth in the Plan Booklet.

TO 16124474245 P.02 DVANCE TO: September 25. 1996 Frank Boyles, Brad Larsen and us Sonnabend DATE; FROM: Roger Guenette, Development Consultant RE: County Staff Comments Regarding Proposed Modification of TIF Districts Nos. 1-1, 1-2 and 2-4 in Prior Lake As you are aware, the City of Prior Lake will conduct a public hearing on October 7. 1996, to consider expansion and modification of Municipal Development Districts Nos. 1 and 2 and TIF Districts Nos. 1-1, 1-2 and 24. In reviewing the proposed actions with Scott County staff it was recommended that the City also include the proposed realignment of T.H. 13 and Five Hawks Avenue intersection. The realignment of this intersection would facilitate improved traffic flow to the Priordalc Mall area and adjacent residential areas. In response to this recommendation by the County staff, the City staff will recommend that the City Council of Prior Lake will consider inclusion of the right-of..ways associated with the proposed improvement as part of the expansion of TIP District No. 2-4; also, the triangular property where NAPA Auto Parts is currently situated will be considered for inclusion in the expanded boundaries of Municipal Development Districts Nos. 1 and 2. The right-of..ways and NAPA Auto Parts property are identified on the enclosed map. The reason for these proposed actions is to enable the potential use of tax increment revenues to fund a portion of the public costs associated with the T.H. 13IFive Hawks Avenue realignment which will enhance public safety and accomplish a high priority traffic improvement for the School District, County and City. If the City Council approves these additions to the Development Districts Nos. 1 and 2 and TIF District No. 2-4 at the October 7, 1996? public hearing. the budget for the proposed tax increment program will i'be increased from S2t8S0.000 (as identified in the tax increment plan originally submitted for review) to 53.500.000. The increase in the budget reflects estimated costs that would otherwise be borne by the City, County and School District. Of oourse the ability to absorb these costs via the use of tax increment revenues is contingent upon the generation of increased taX base within the tax increment districts. If these ehan&es are ac::cepted by the City Council at the October 7, 1996, public hearing, a "final copy" of the tax increment documents will be prepared and delivered for use as a permanent record. - If you have questions regarding this information, please contact me immediately. l Business FInance and Economic Development Specialists C~J~RATt omcl!S: P.O.

Upon a vote, ayes Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader and Schenck, motion carried. V. New Business: A. Mid- Year EDA Status Report . President Mader said the EDA is not operating in accordance with the bylaws. He questioned whether the EDA has any authority or served a purpose that the City Council did not serve. He questioned whether the City should have an EDA. . Commissioner Kedrowski said it is not within the authority of the EDA Commissioners to discontinue the body. . Commissioner Andren recalled the history of the EDA and its purpose. It originally was promoted by businessmen in the community because of a lack of business opportunity and lack of business within Prior Lake. They became an organization that has put the plans for the Business Park together. The reason was diversification of tax base and business development were high priority. The EDC evolved into the Business Development Committee (BDC) after they had put together the business office park. The BDC felt after those many years they had fulfilled their mission, but one thing City Council told them is that the City would maintain a committee with additional power over and above the BDC so this momentum and priority could continue. The BDC disbanded with the understanding that the EDA would be revitalized. The EDA is not here for short term, and it has tremendous powers. Someday it will not be just members of the City Council who constitute this committee. Down the road, the EDA will be composed of businesspeople as well. Commissioner Andren said she would oppose abolishing the EDA. There are members of the business community that belong on the EDA even more than some of the Councilmembers because of their business acumen. The City has started to diversify, and encourage business development, but the objective has not yet been acheived. The City should have tools to use like EDA.

CITY OF PRIOR lAr:'-! Dear Mr. Boyles: This letter is in relation to the proposed modification of municipal development districts numbers 1 and 2 and tax increment financing districts numbers 1-1, 1-2 and 2-4. While the school district is generally opposed to increasing the size of TIF districts, we recognize the need to attract and retain businesses in our community to build our tax base for the future. In addition, the upgrading of certain properties to make them more viable would also be very advantageous. Perhaps the most supportable reason from the school district's standpoint, would be to encourage the city council to use TIF district funds in the redevelopment of Trunk Highway 13 and Five Hawks Avenue. This really does have a benefit for our school district. We would be very supportive of that particular aspect in all of the above plans. We appreciate the ability to comment on these proposals.
