Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: BACKGROUND: ISSUES: STAFF AGENDA REPORT December 20, 2004 9-B1 JOHN SULLIVAN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DECERTIFICATION OF TIF DISTRICT 1-2 (AMOCO GAS) The purpose of this item is to consider the decertification of Tax Increment Finance District (TIP) #1-2 (Amoco Gas). Development District No.1 was established on March 1, 1985 in order to promote redevelopment of the downtown and commercial properties along Highway 13. On March 23, 1988, the City Council approved establishment of TIP District 1-2, which was an approximately one acre parcel, which included Lots 1, 2, 3 and the west 70 feet of Lot 4, Block 3, Original Town and all adjacent public right of ways, including vacated Walker Avenue Right of Way. TIP District 1-2 was modified on October 7, 1996, and was modified in conjunction with Municipal Development Districts No.1 and No.2, along with TIF Districts 1-1 and 2-4. TIF District No. 1-2 is a Redevelopment District, as is the Development District No.1, meaning they have up to a 25 year duration. On July 15, 2002, it was again modified by the City Council along with TIP 1-1. The City has met all goals and the budget plan for TIP District 1-2, and it should be decertified. The District is now completed. The Scott County Auditor and staff are recommending the City Council decertify TIP District 1-2. There do not appear to be any outstanding issues with respect to the decertification of TIP District 2-1. This decertification means that the property taxes generated by this property will now be distributed to the taxing jurisdictions of Scott County, School District 719, and miscellaneous taxing districts. The format of the resolution is in accordance with the decertification process and is consistent with previous decertification actions by the City of Prior Lake. c:\documents and settings\kellym\local settings\temporary internet files\olklfa\tif 1-2 decertification report 12-20-04 for amoco gas.doc WWW.ci(yofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 ALTERNATIVES: The City Council has three alternatives: 1.
