Section 2. Findings for the Modification of Redevelopment
Project No. 1, Modification of Tax Increment Financing Districts
Nos. 1-1 through 1-11, and the Modification of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-9.
2.01. The Council hereby finds, determines and declares that
the modification of Tax Increment Financing Districts Nos. 1-1
through 1-11 and the modification of Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-9, all located within Redevelopment Project No. 1,
is intended and, in the judgment 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 1-11.
2.02. The Council hereby finds that Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-9 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-
tion 90-28
It will result in increased employment in the
municipality; or
3. It will result in 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.
2.04. The Council finds, determines, and declares that the
proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-9 will afford maximum opportunity and be consistent
with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development or
redevelopment of Redeveloment Project No. 1 by private enterprise.
2.05. The Council further finds, declares and determines
that the 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.
2.06. The Council determines and declares that Redevelopment
Project No. 1 is hereby modified, that Tax Increment Financing
Districts Nos. 1-1 through 1-11 are hereby modified and that Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-9 is hereby modified,
contingent upon execution of the Redevelopment and Assessment
Agreements by and between the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority of the City of Monticello and William R. Tapper and
Barbara R. Tapper.

EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION NO. 90-28
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the
modification of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-9 as required, pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subd. 3, are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-9 is a
"economic development district" as defined in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subd. 12.
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-9 consists of one
parcel which does not meet the requirements of a redevelopment
district, mined underground space development district, housing
district or soils correction district. The Authority and City
find Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-9 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 municipa-
lity; and
3. It will result in 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 high costs of the public improvements,
the project would not be financially feasible without the City's
assistance.
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan conforms to the
general plan for the development or redevelopment of the munici-
pality as a whole.
The Monticello Planning Commission originally reviewed the
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District
No. 1-9 on February 6, 1990, and determined that the Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.
1-9 conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-9 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.
-5-
t A to Resolution 90-28
~~ie project to be developed, which will be located within
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-9, consists of the
construction of a 27,000 square foot office/production facility
to be constructed in the spring of 1990 and completed by
December 31, 1990. It is anticipated that 25 additional full-
time jobs will result from this project.
5. 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 com-
putation set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd.
3, Clause (b).
6. Finding regarding duration of Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-9.
The duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-9 will
be eight ($) years from the date of receipt of the first tax
increment or ten (10) 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.
