Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: INTRODUCTION: DISCUSSION: STAFF AGENDA REPORT MARCH 7, 2005 10 B RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION INITIATING PROCESS FOR APPROV AL OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING Prior Lake Economic Development Authority (EDA) adopted a resolution on February 22, 2005 that proposes the creation of a Redevelopment Plan for the downtown that will: 1.) Continue to encourage private development and redevelopment of the downtown and 2.) Assure the construction of a new city hall and police station within the Redevelopment Area. The process the City is considering to finance the city hall/police station would involve having the Prior Lake Economic Development Authority (EDA) sell lease-purchase bonds that would be paid by the City over a 20 year time period. In order to facilitate this financing it is necessary for the City Council to also approve a similar resolution to initiate the process for approval of a Redevelopment Project Area and call for a public hearing on the Redevelopment Plan. Under the Redevelopment Plan the City would lease both the city hall and police buildings from the EDA with an option to purchase pursuant to a lease with option to purchase agreement. Revenue bonds in the principal amount of $10,000,000 are proposed to be sold by the EDA to finance the redevelopment costs. The Redevelopment Project Area encompasses a larger area than just the project site as identified by the attached map entitled Exhibit A. In the remainder of the Redevelopment Area the EDA would propose to facilitate, as appropriate, private development by negotiated sale of city owned property or acquiring land and preparing it for private development and by constructing public infrastructure improvements. Specifically both the fayade improvement program and the downtown renovation are also active components that would contribute toward these oyerall goals. Also attached is a proposed schedule that outlines all the remaining steps and required action by the EDA, Planning Commission and the City Council over the course of the next two months with respect to the Redevelopment Plan. At the conclusion of this process, the City would receive bond proceeds by no later than May 1, 2005. www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA AND THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN THEREFOR (CITY HALL/POLICE STATION PROJECT) SCHEDULE AS OF FEBRUARY 2005 The pertinent dates in connection with the above-referenced matter are listed below: February 22 EDA adopts Resolution Initiating Process for Adoption of a Redevelopment Plan.

INTRODUCTION AND LEGAL BASIS A. Intent The Economic Development Authority of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota (the "EDA"), proposes to establish a Redevelopment Project Area as described herein (the "Redevelopment Area"), in connection with the acquisition of property and construction of a new city hall/police station facility (the "Municipal Project"). The City of Prior Lake, Minnesota (the "City"), will lease the building from the EDA with an option to purchase pursuant to a lease with option to purchas~ agreement. Revenue bonds in the principal amount not to exceed approximately $10,000,000 are proposed to be sold by the EDA to finance the redevelopment project costs. The revenue bonds will be secured by the payments to be made by the City under the lease with option to purchase agreement. In the remainder of the Redevelopment Area the EDA proposes to facilitate, as appropriate, private development by acquiring land and preparing it for private development and by constructing public infrastructure improvements. B. Statement The City and EDA have determined that conditions exist within the Redevelopment Area which have prevented further development of land by private enterprise and/or public entities. It has been found that the Redevelopment Area is potentially more useful and valuable for contributing to the public health, safety and welfare than has been realized under existing development. The development of these parcels are not attainable in the foreseeable future without the intervention of the EDA in the development process. The EDA has prepared this Redevelopment Plan, which provides for the elimination of conditions which preclude redevelopment, thereby making the land useful and valuable for contributing to the public health, safety and welfare. C. Redevelopment Area Boundaries The boundaries of the Redevelopment Area are outlined on the Redevelopment Area Boundary Map, Exhibit A., incorporated herein and made part of. All land included in the Redevelopment Area is within the legal boundaries of the City. 1733185vl ....""...".............,o.,_.._^__.._,.__....~""'""",~ .._.~...'~..m.._......,._.,...~".._<,_,..+,"~~__..~"',.__._~......_.__~,.,'"""".~,..._,.,.."..,..,""" ".....-"-'..~.f'+t D.
