Section 2. Findings for the Modification of Redevelopment Project
No. 1, Modification of Tax Increment Financing Districts No. 1-1 through
1-15, and the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-16.
2.01. The Council hereby finds, determines and declares that the
modification of Tax Increment Financing Districts No. 1-1 through 1-15 and
the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-16, all located
within Redevelopment Project No. 1, is intended and, in the judgement of the
Council, its effect will be, to further provide an impetus for commercial and
industrial development, increase employment and otherwise promote certain
public purposes and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Modified
Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Financing Districts Nos.
1-1 through 1-16.
2.02. The Council hereby finds that Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-16 does meet the requirements of an Economic Development
District in that it consists of any project, or any portions of a project which
does not meet the requirements found in the definition of a redevelopment
district, mined underground space development district, housing district, or
soil corrections district, but which the Authority and City finds to be in the
public interest because:
1) It will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing from moving
their operations to another state; or
2) It will result in increased employment in the municipality; or
3) It will result in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the
municipality.
2.03. The Council finds, determines and declares that the
proposed development, in the opinion of the Council, would not occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and,
therefore, the use of Tax Increment Financing is deemed necessary.

City made the above findings stated in Section 2 and has set forth the reasons
and supporting facts for each determination in writing, attached hereto as
Exhibit A.

Project No. 1 is hereby modified, that Tax Increment Financing Districts No.

EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION NO. 94-8
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the establishment of
the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District
No. 1-16 as required, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subd.
3, are as follows:
1) Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-16 is an
"Economic Development District" as defined in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subd. 12.
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-16 consists of one parcel which
do not meet the requirements of a redevelopment district, mined
underground space development district, housing district or soils
correction district. The Authority and the City find Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-16 to be in the public interest because:
1) It will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing from
moving their operations to another state; and
2) It will result in increased employment in the municipality; and
3) It will result in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base
of the municipality.
2) Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the Council,
would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonable
foreseeable future, and therefore, the use of Tax Increment Financing
is deemed necessary.
City staff has reviewed the available financing costs for the
development. Due to the cost of site acquisition, the project would not
be financially feasible without the City's assistance.
3) Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-16 will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise.
Mbit A to Resolution 94-8
The project to be developed, which will be located within Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-16, consists of an 16,800 square
foot office/manufacturing facility. This facility is to be constructed in
1994 and be substantially completed by January 2, 1995. It is
anticipated that eight additional full-time positions will be created as a
result of this project within two years.
4) Finding regarding the method of tax increment computation set forth in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 3, Clause (b), if applicable.
The Council does not elect the method of tax increment computation set
forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 3, Clause (b).
5) Finding regarding duration of Tax Increment Financing District No.
1-16.
The duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-16 will be nine
(9) years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment or eleven
(11) years from the original approval of the Tax Increment Financing
Plan, whichever is less. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.177, Subd. 3, the City requests 100 percent of the available
increase in assessed value for current expenditures.
