TAX IriCREMENT P(1LYCY
Wtule tax increment financing is an impotrtani and useful tool in attracting and retaining business,
it is essential that it is used appropriatelyto accomplish the City's economic development goals and
objectives. The fundamental principle which makes tax increment financing viable is that it is
designed to encourage development which would not otherwise occur. The Savage Economic
Development Authority is responsible for ensuring that the project would not occur "but for" the
assistance provided through tax increment financing.
The Savage Economic Development Authority wiU consider tax increment financing in cases that
serve to accomplish the City's targeted goals for economic development as they tray change over
time. These goals include projects that would result in the creation of new jabs that pay wages
adequate to support households, encourage the retention and expansion of existing businesses, and
support redevelopment of blighted or under utilized parcels.
Projects eligible for consideration of tax increment financing assistance include, but are not limited
• to, office, officefservice/warehouse, industriaVmanufacturing. office/industriaUcorporate head-
quarters, housing and retail when perfoirned in conjunction with the elimination of blight.
Project costs qualifying for tax increment financing assistance, as defined under the TIF Act, include
utilities design, landscape design, architectural and engineering foes duectly attributableto site work,
site related permits, earthwork/excavation, soils correction, landscaping, utilities (sanitary sewer,
storm sewer and water), streets and roads, streetsfparkinglet paving, strec~ts/parking lot lights, curb
and gutter, sidewalks, land acquisition, special assessments, legal (acquisition, financing and closing
fees},soil tests and environmental studies, surveys, park dedicationfee, SAC and WAC charges, title
insurance, demolition costs and TIF application deposit or otherwise. permittd by state law.
The amount of tax increment financing provided to an applicant will be based on the analysis of the
following;
A. Fundability guidelines for financial assistance (Attachment "A").
• B. Eligible project costs submitted on the application for tax increment financing assistance
(Attachment "B")
C. Amount of increment generated by the project as calculated by the City's financial advisor.

• The standard uideline for assistance is seventy percent (70%) of the project's annual increment for
g
a term determined by the number of points accumulated in the fundability guideline. The level of
assistance provided will be evaluated on a case by case basis and may reflect an increase or decroase
in assistance.
Tax increment financing can be provided in two different forms. t7ne .form is "pay as you go"
wherein the Savage Economic Developnseat Authority compensates the applicant for a
predetermined amount for a predetermined number of years. Annual payments are based on
increment generated from the prof ect and issued. to .the applicant altar payment of property taxes by
the applicant. The Savage Economic Development Authority will give special consideration to
applicants applying for "pay as you go" assistance.
~, ,~
Another form is up front payFnent to the applicant wherein the Savage Economic Development
Authority must issue revenue or general obligation bands. The increment generated from the
applicant's project is then used for the payment of the bonds.
T,~X Il~rCR>=1~%EI`rT Ilti~N .Ilti'C A FIST cF, FP .T~ATION PROCFgS:
• The Sava a Economic DevelopmentAuthority will require a deposit in the amount of five thousand
g

agreement, the Economic Development Authority will notify the applicant in writing and the
applicant will be required to deposit additional funds.
If the project is approved and the applicant proceeds with the project, the Economic Development
Authority will reimburse the applicant's deposit to the extent permissible under the TIF Act. If the
applicant. does not proceed with fire project, the Economic Development Authority will reimburse
the applicant for the unused portion of the deposit.
If the project being proposed is not within an existing tax incnme~nt financing district aad the
creation of a now district is necessary, the applicant will be required to make a deposit to the
Economic Development Authority in the amount often thousand dollars ($10,000). This deposit
