Consideration of an u date on the im act to TIF relative to the Le islative Tax Bill and a
recommendation to the Citv Council to c nsider issuin a Tern orar Bond.
Financial Consultant Mark Ruff, Ehlers Associates, summarized the impact to tax
increment as a result of the Omnibus Tax ill adopted by the 200 I Legislation. The
impact varies among communities depen ing upon the type of TIF projects. Monticello's
impact is minimal due to a conservative a ount of debt. The classification rate reduction
for commercial/industrial results in a 40% reduction in tax capacity. However. with the
implementation of the state wide business tax, the reduction result is 10%. For the
purpose of tax increment the state busine s tax is not collected. The Bill encourages
apartment ownership. It goes to say if on pays less taxes, one collects less tax
increment. The Bill includes a provision t apply for a grant for TIF shortfalls; however,
there is no help for TIF pay-as-you-go fin. nce methods and no protection for inter-fund
loans. The good news is there is no more ACA Penalty and the education tax levy such
as bond referumdums is collectable for tax increment. Bubul, Wolfsteller. Koropchak,
and Ruff have had several conference calls to discuss the benefits of selling Temporary
Bonds which would accelerate funds for th inter-fund loans betw-een the City/HRA and
HRA General Fund/TIF and for future projects within the downtown These bonds need
to be sold by August I, 2001. From a proc ss standpoint. this is doable. The City
Council would authorize the sale of tempo ary bonds at the July 23 Council meeting.
The Temporary Bonds at a fixed rate of ap roximately 5.5% for three years. The bond
amount suggested ranges between $1.5 to 2.5 million based on existing debt and
projects in the pipeline. The bonds are tax ble temporary bonds requiring at least 20%
tax increment. Rutl suggested issuance of he bonds because first, it extends the life of
the 5-year rule for the Downtown TIF Dist ict by two years or until August I. 2004 (three
years from date of bond sale) allowing tim to complete projects in the pipeline and
future redevelopment projects. Secondly. i provides protection for the existing internal
loans and lastly. it provides the option to a ply tor a grant if a shortfall would occur
although not anticipated. Steve Andrews m ,de a motion recommending the City Council
sell Temporary Bonds in the amount of 52. r. 00. 000 net proceedsj()r the reasons noted

HRA Minutes - 7/11/01
Consideration to re~review and re-affirm he level ofTIF assistance for the ro osed
Housin 7 District associated with the MH A Monticello a lication.
Sheri Harris, Central Minnesota Housing Partnership, informed the commissioners that
the application submitted in March receiv d no red marks as far as the application itself.
The grant was not awarded due to a lack f a targeted population and the limited amount
of funding available (more projects than ollars.) As the City remains interested in the
project and has purchased the Kauffmann property, Harris requested the BRA to re-affirm
the level of TIF assistance prior to re-sub itting the MHF A application on July 13.
Since the March TIF approval. the class r tes were amended via the Omnibus Tax Bill.
Ehlers re-ran the "fIF Cashflows based on the reduced housing class rates; however, the
net present value of tax increment did not change significantly. Koropchak noted:
Based on the TIF Cashf10w (no inflation . ctor) the project would generate $89,623 NPV
over 25 years and the level of assistance a proved in March was $125,000 for a gap of
$35,377. The HRA approval was based 0 a selling price of $131,000 per unit. Harris
informed the commissioners that the maxi urn selling price is $120.000 including
closing costs. In order to qualify for other gap financing programs used to make the
project cashtlow, the mortgage amounts a e between $85,000 to $95,000 and income
level are between $28.000 to $30,000. Th up-front TIF assistance of $125,000 is used to
buy down the land acquisition costs estim ted at $300,000. The BRA discussed using
TIF for both creation of jobs with livable ages and to encourage low-end housing.
Previously the C uunci I supported housing f higher value: however. they have supported
the scattered housing project for this area s a redevelopment project. Andrews felt the
level of TIF assistance was too much. The HRA was also concerned about the quality of
housing and suggested an association with protective covenants for outside maintenance
of snow removal. landscaping, etc. Mark uff felt the project would cash flow at the
level of assistance ($125,000) with an infl tion factor added over 25 years. Koropchak
asked: Where does the HRA plan to get th $125,000 up-front dollars? Seeing the
project as u redevelopment project and su gesting the development of protective
covenantsjiJr exterior maintenunce. Brad arger made a motion to re-affirm the A;[arch

building. The investment group are Smit ,Paulson, O'Donnell & Associates, PLC and
Carlson/White Insurance Agency. Cyr d vided the projects into Project 1, the office
building and Project 2, parking. Estimat d redevelopment and construction costs for the
office building was $1,329.000 including $275,000 for acquisition costs. Qualifying TIF
expenditures. according to Cyr, totaled $ 49.000 and the amount ofTIF requested was
$328,000 for Project 1. With no Prelimi ary Development Agreement executed nor
collection of the $5.000 fee. no cashtlow have been run. Project 2 for parking
development (Smith, City. and Hamond arcels) was estimated at a costs of $138,000
which includes the acquisition of the Kopy storage garage for $50,000. Based on
estimated construction costs and qualifyi g TIF expenditures, Cyr requested up-front TIF
assistance in the amount of $140.000 for arking development. Additionally, Cyr
presented a Letter of Intent for shared par 'ing signed by Hamond, Paulson, Fluth, Kopy,
and Smith and an Option to purchase a st rage building for $50.000 between Cyr and
Kopy. Amount of parking stall required as not determined by staff. Mark Ruff
informed the HRA this redevelopment pr ~ect requires answering some policy questions:
Are the houses substandard'? Bench mark t for TIF. 15 years ($110,000, 8%). Is the land
value reasonable? Does the HRA want re evelopment? What about parking deficiency?
No appraisals of the existing structures ha been completed. Koropchak noted that the
HRA is requested to consider approving t e preliminary concept for use ofTIF
assistance. If approved. the concept will e forwarded to the City Council. The
commissioners agreed, they liked the gen ral concept for redevelopment of the northerly
half of Block 36 and there is a willingness of the property owners. The HRA suggested
the developers refine the numbers and for 'taffto work on the parking stall requirements.
Brad Barger made a motion to approve th preliminary concept for use ofTIF relative to
the redevelopment ofa portion of Lots -I, ,6, 7 & 8, Block 36 andfor parking
development. The motion was seconded b Bob A'furray and with nofurther discussion,
the motion passed unanimously.

suggested the up to $45.000 for parking de elopment off-site be tied to the Hamond,
Paulson, and Kopy parcels. Brad Johnson resented a list of comments relative to the

Consideration to acce t a counter-offer f r the ro ert located at 218 Front Street.
Since the agenda preparation, the HRA r ceived a written counter-offer of $163,000 from
O'Connor via Attorney Peterson. The co Inter-otTer based on an appraisal obtained by
O'Connor. The offer based on the apprai ed value of$148,000 plus $15,000 lost income.
The HRA offer of May 15 was $145,383 as based on an HRA appraisal of $92,200
(October 10, 2(00) plus lost income and elocation benefits. The HRA compared the two
appraisals. It was the opinion of the H Attorney and Relocation Consultant that the
verbal counter-otTer from O'Connor ofJune 22 ($155,000) may be reasonable
considering the additional costs to prucee with eminent domain. After revinl'inR the
infOrmation. the HRA commissioners, in "I agreement. rejected the cOllnter-(?tfer (?!
5163.000.

concept for Project I (office building) an Project II (joint parking). No level of TIF
assistance was defined and it was suggested for the developer refine the numbers. The
parking requirement issues were referred 0 the planning staff. Additionally, Cyr
submitted a copy of letters of intent for s ared parking and option to purchase storage
building. Koropchak also provided the c shf10ws which reflect the new class rates, as
well as a summary of Cyr's financial nu bel's of July 1 I.
At a stafTmeeting among O'Neill, Johnson, Cyr, and Koropchak, it was determined
through calculation of the existing and pI' posed building space the number of parking
spaces required. The shortage was 23 sta Is at $ I ,400 = $32,200. Assuming the City
would allow a cross easement the parkin development costs including parking for
Amoco site and contribution totaled $172 200. $140.000 development + $32200
deficiency = $172200 - $45,000 approve = additional request of $ I 27,200 for parking.
Lastly. the City prefers to sell the 4,505 s ft lot at a cost of $20,000 or $4.439 per sq ft
rather than provide an easement. For co parison, the HRA purchased the Fluth lot
(9,608 sq ft) on Broadway in 1997 for $50,000 or $5.20 per sq ft.
Koropchak added that Mark Ruff had previously advised the members that the TIF
assistance becomes one of policy: Does t e HRA consider the housing substandard? Is
the land price reasonable? Does the City \ -ant redevelopment? What is a reasonable
price for parking? Koropchak added that he TIF cashflQ\-v numbers for the recent bond
sale included the projection of~ project' or tax increment
.
Mike Cyr was present to inform the j"IRA f retined construction numbers and request.
He provided revised project summaries. H noted that they had also looked at reducing
the size of the bui Iding as an option as wel. Cyr noted the approximate gap was the same
for both buildings. Cyr also provided a su 1mary regarding shared parking including the
$45,000 which was assumed to be coming rom the HRA funds already committed to
parking development as part of the Amoco site project. Cyr advised that the approximate
gap would be $95.000.
Mr. Pat O'Donnell stated that the proposed one story building was not their first choice
but was looked into due to the opposition t ey were receiving regarding their two story
building project. It was stated that the one tory would only be large enough for their
firm at its present size.
Koropchak then provided TIF cash flow in rmation for their review. It was stated by
Cyr. O'Donnell and Johnson that the parking would be deficient if both projects were to
move fo!'\vard. according to the city's ordin nce. although the parking demand would be
at different times of the day. It \vas again stated that there is an administrative perceived
parking problem.
.
Koropchak advised that the developer need' to commence construction by September.

HRA Minutes - 08/01/01
To encourage redevelopment, the HRA n eds to determine level ofTIF assistance for the
building project or parking project, both rojects, or either project. If the HRA can
determine the amount of TIF assistance, t is will aid the developers with their decision to
proceed or not to proceed, and allows the etails within the Contracts to be determined by
Legal Counsel. It may be best to direct st ff to place the parking issue on the Council
agenda given the decision of Council rela ive to the Town Centre project.
Cyr advised that according to the city's c mprehensive plan and counting the on-street
parking, they would actually have over th required amount of parking spots and that this
is strictly an interpretation issue in wheth I' to count on-street parking.
Bob Murray suggested the HRA pick a Ie el of assistance and forward that on to City
Council for review and possible modificat on. Darrin Lahr added that the request is for
either $140,000 or $160,000. taking no ta, es for 10 years, and that this would generate
no income to HRA.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY DARRIN AHR AND SECONDED BY STEVE

last month relative to Lotus' rcvised proft rma: Given the housing tax capacity didn't
change that much. the dcveloper's taxes ill be less, the mortgage amount should
decrease not increase.
The Preliminary Development Agreement was executed initially on August 2, 2000,
that's one year ago. Koropchak notcd th t if the developer does not have a signed
purchase agreement and lease agreement, he HRA might consider the use of TIF with
another developer.
Koropchak did ask Brad Johnson if there 'as a signed agreement and he advised that he
is still waiting for a letter from the owner f the Amoco site who. Johnson added. seems
to be agreeable, regarding contamination t n the site. Contract was tinished earlier in the
week. They will not sign the agreement u til they receive this letter. Johnson also added
that they need to know what the estimated administration fees would be and Koropchak
stated them to be estimated at least $10.00 ). Johnson stated he would like this estimate
added to the developers agreement.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRAD BA GER AND SECONDED BY BOB

There was fmiher discussion regarding the sale of the city's lot possibly to Barry Fluth

not an HRA decision, but rather should be orwarded to the City Council.

if items one and two are not authorized. It ppears if the level of assistance are
determined and agreed upon by the develo ers. an independent Contract with Mike Cyr
would guarantee the construction of the par' ing lot in a timely manner. This agreement
"vould outline the joint parking agreement 'ross easements. need to acquire the storage

of $150,000 to $170.000.
Koropchak stated that the HRA needs to etermine if this is an area that can be a
qualifying district and if this could be a ousing district or redevelopment district,
although she added that redevelopment ould not cash flow with just one home.
Koropchak will check into this.
Cyr stated these will be owner/occupied omes and added that there is a vacant lot next to
this home but it is part of the lot on the o her side and the owner was not willing to split
at this time. although he added that the 0 ner would sell both. Cyr stated the selling
price was too high at this time.
The members stated that this seems to be worthwhile project but Koropchak would need
to verify that it qualifies. Dan Frie also a ked if there were other options available for
financing. Koropchak stated number nee to be run. Bob Murray asked what other
information she needed from Cyr in order to run numbers and see if this project qualifies.
Koropchak stated that she needs to check n legislative changes.
The members felt this process should sta with Cyr and Koropchak getting together and
running numbers. Cyr stated his time fra e was 60 days before he had to act.
Steve Andrews stated a possible option to create one TIF district to include the scattered
housing district with a project such as wh t Cyr is proposing. Cyr added that he may be
interested in working on that scattered hot sing project with this project. but it was noted
that the HRA needs to wait on word regar ing the application already submitted for to the
State. They advised Cyr to come back at t e September meeting. Koropchak was
advised to work the numbers and provide hem to both Cyr and the HRA prior to the
September meeting. Bob Murray noted th t he will not be at the September meeting.

d) One year from now, the Carlson's will have vacated the house along the river.
e) Once the HRA gets the Amoco, Smith, Hagen projects otlthe ground, we'll need to
see what dollars are left, if any, prior to b ginning discussions with Steve Johnson. She
asked the members if it was still their des re to work on Block 52 after these projects are
up and running. The HRA feels that the rdinance regarding parking needs to be looked
into.

At the July I-IRA meeting, the commissio ers were advised of the IDC's question: Why
does the city use tax payer's dollars to assist a business who pays non-livable wages?
Because of the long agenda and lack ofint rmation, the commissioners tabled the item
and requested further research of other co munity's wage level criteria. The St. Cloud
newspaper reported $ I 2.25 average per ho r without benefits. The Wright County
Partnership as least $10.00 per hour wi tho t benefits. Currently. Monticello is at $9.00
per hour without benefits. Generally spea ing. the wage levels for local funding
applications do exceed the local wage level criteria. Koropchak provided the wage and
job survey results of 2000. Chair Frie provided the HRA information on income levels
needed to qualify for mortgages.
Bob Murray stated that one of the goals of he city was to increase the value of the homes
in Monticello. which has been accompIishe .
The members stated they had no interest in amending the wage level criteria at this time.
All were in agreement.
Citv Budget Undate
Koropchak stated that the date to get budget request information to Rick Wolfsteller was
no later than August 8. She also advised of some changes in the legislation that affect the

A. Reference and background:
HRA A~enda - 9/5/01
t for use ofTIF for develo. ment of 30
At the August HRA meeting, Cyr informe the commissioners of his interest to develop
approximately 2.5 to 3 acres ofland in the icinity to the south of 6 Strect and Vine
Street. lIis initial plan is to acquire the 2. to 3 acres which includes one parcel with a
substandard structure, according to Cyr, fo construction of 30 units of twin hornes. He
asked the I IRA of their interest in the conc pt and for TIF assistance in the amount of
$100,000. The HRA was interested and in'ormed Cyr to work with Koropchak on
preliminary TIF numbers and for qualifications to establish a 1'1 F district for a
presentation at the Septelnber meeting.
Using a selling price of $160,000 per unit nd assuming 90% as the estimated market
value and an estilnated local tax rate of 14, .00;;); 8 units would generate approximately
$100,000 NPY of tax increment assistance over 15 years. This scenario uses 10% fl.)r
administration. The I IRA could use 20% ,nd pledge the additional 10% toward the gap
of the scattered housing TIF project. It is 11Y suggestion that a Housing District be
created iCthe lIRA is interested in providil g assistance. With abandonment of state aid,
there is no longer a qual i fied housing district. For owner-occupied development at least
9SCl'l1 of the units must be occupied by inco ne qualified families. The income restrictions,
100% of median income fl.)r a family of tw or less and 1150;;) of median income for
families of three or more. Median income is the greater of the statewide median or the
county median. Wright County median in ome for 2001 is $74,700 and the state wide
median inconle fl.)r 2000 was $57,900. Un er the example given, the district boundaries
would need to include 8 units (95% is 7.6 '\flits) and at least 80% of the tax increment
must be spend within the district. The pupose of a housing district is to provide
affordable housing. Because the income I vels for Wright County arc on the high side,
what prevents any residential developer to approach the city for TIF? Is there any unique
circumstances in this project? Perhaps ac uisition and demolition of house as Inost
housing developments acquire raw land.
It was suggested by the HRA to check if t e proposed scattered housing TIF District and
Cyr's project could be combined as one TI < District. From a TIF standpoint it could
work as long as the 95% criteria is met ho ever, timing may be an issue. The second
round of awards Cor M IIFA funding is sch dulcd t()l' September 27 and if awarded,
thereafter, will Sheri begin the process of. cquiring parcels. The scattered housing
project was planned with a different build I' than Cyr but could still work. A
redevelopment district just doesn't work ith only one structure on the entire property.
H RA Agenda - 9/5/0 I
.
As a reminder to the HRA commissioners, ttached is a copy of the Tlr: application form
and process. I t appears, developers approa h the lIRA fl.)r interest 0 f TI F and req uest
assistance without completion of the application and having talked to their lenders or
prepared a sketch plan of the proposed dev lopment. In this case, r ve yet to see a map of
the proposed boundaries nor received a cOl1pleted application. Although the HRA wants
to encourage development or redevelopme t, I suggest the comlnissioners remind
developers to complete the preliminary ap lication f(mn prior to appearing at an HRA
Ineeting. Also the concept goes to the City Council prior to determining a level of TIF
assistance.
In our conversation, Cyr informed me his ap is $300,000 and asked if the lIRA could
sell bonds for a short term (4-year) loan to inance his upfront costs for acquisition and
private infrastructure. This in place ofTIF. What is the public purpose? The purpose of
an lIRA is not to be a commercial lender b t for gap financing. Bonds would he taxable
bonds meaning a higher interest rate to the city and not as attractive the huyer of the
bond. Attorney Buhul agrees not to issue onds.
Presentation by Cyr.
B, Alternative Action:
.
I.
A motion to approve the prelimina y concept for establishment ofa Housing TIF
District forwarding the concept to he Council for approval. Subject to Council
approval, authorization to enter int a Preliminary Development Agreement.
2. A motion to deny approval of the reliminary concept tor use of 'fIF.
3. A motion of other.
4. A motion to tahle any action.
C. Recommendation:
Recommendation is alternative no. I. If( ouncil approves and the preliminary agreement
is executed, Ehlers will be called to verify level ofTIf assistance. In October. the lIRA
approve level of assistance subject based' proforma signed hy the developer.

HRA A~enda - 9/5/01
sat to c1eanu the area of Front Street.
At one of the previous HRA meetings, the IRA authorized going out for bids for
dell1olition and cleanup of the Bostic, Schli ~f, and Reed properties. However, after a
meeting with llans Ilagen, it was decided t wait until the liRA gained possession orthe
O'Connor parcel. COll1pleting the cleanup. s one project appeared to save money in the
long run and would provide a finished pad 'ite at a pre-determined grade level and at
100% compaction. This is be adjusted in the land price to Hagen. After the "test burn"
and with the Building Department issuing light notices, the Building Department has
received complaints of the remaining cone ete foundations and garages in the said area.
Therefore, the lIRA has solicited RFPs.
The RFP was mailed to Schluender, Gullin r, and Fyle. The RFP is due back at noon,
September 4, 200 1. Work to be complete no later than September 21, 2001.
The HRA needs to review the bids and aw, rd to the lowest bidder.
B. Alternative Action:
1.
A motion to award the bid to

2. A motion to reject the bids and soli it new bids.

Attorney project along Walnut Stre 't - Last week. Pat CfOonnell called to infi.mn
me that the group elected to take a "wait and see approach until spring" as they
lost their investor or tenant. Since he last HRA meeting and prior to the call from
O'DonnelL liRA Attorney Greens eig and myself met with Attorney Jerry
Paulson. Barry Fluth, and Brad Joh lson to discuss the Contracts for Private
Redevelopment and how to handle he Joint Parking Agreement associated with
both projects and the commitment y the liRA for $45.000 per project. The City
Council did approve waiving or tra1sferring city funds into the parking fund to
encourage project developlnent. A ditionally, the council counter-offered with
$17,500 to the Fluth offer of $15,OlO for the West Broadway parcel with the
condition the access be closed to B oadway and upon development.
Amoco site - With the decision by he Attorneys. Fluth continues with
redevelopment of the Amoco site. The Contract with the amendments as
discussed at the August meeting w II be ready for execution on Wednesday.
received a copy of the executed Pu chase Agreement between Fluth and
Bjorklund. The Contract is subjec to lender commitment and execution of a
Parking Agreement between Fluth. Paulsen, (Iamond. and Koppy noting cross
casements. maintenance. etc. The BRA agreed to pay up to $45.000 for ofT-site
parking development associated w th the Amoco site. Fluth expects to have
architect drawings of the building, the Friday following the liRA meeting which
will be reviewed by LJA 1'. Fluth h s indicated he is ready to sign the C\mtract. If
noL the Preliminary Development greement was null and void on August 2.
2001.
Front Street - The court hearing da e in August was re-scheduled to September 19,
2001 for the eminent domain ofth O'Connor parcel. It is my understanding, the
BRA will gain possession of the p operty on October 2,200 I; however, the
acquisition price may not be deten lined. The next HRA meeting is October 3 and
since there has been two conllictin r motions relative to demolition or putting the
house out for bids to sale and reme ve, this will again be on the l-IRA agenda in
October. O'Connor stopped by n y office, to let me know there were two houses
along West River Street which he hought would meet his needs. He was
inl(Jrmed to contact Ken Helvey a it appears he misunderstands and thinks the
HRA is going to acquire a house f I' him. lie also noted the date of October
coming up and interest to acquire is existing house and find another lot.
Marketing Study - Steve Johnson as an individual named Jim McComb who has
completed marketing studies for c mmunities. Steve made a presentation to the
Chamber and asked of interest an funding. It is my understanding the study

F:xecutive Director's Report.
a) Integrated Recycling Technologies,. Inc. - GMEF No. 018 in the amount of
$72,500 closed (disbursed) on June 29, 2001. Building construction underway
along Fallon A venue.
b) I,:J)MA Company - Approved GM F No. 019 in the ml10unt of$30,000 closed on
August 30. 2001. Building and sit plans at city f()r review.
c) WII IA Company - Plans have been submitted to the city f()l' a 16,000 sq ft
addition to their existing 10,000 sq ft building.
d) II-Window - Two leads f()r this bui ding.
e) Fay-Mar Building - Production Sta llping took a second look. No room to
expand. I believe Fay-Mar is leasir g 2,500 sq ft in Big Lake. I've been trying to
reach Ron Musich to get the latest n Fay Mar. As far as the HRA Contract if
indeed no production or jobs remail. the Contract is in default. I will write a
letter much the same as the H- Win ow and he will not receive the last payg
payment of near $10,000. I may a'k for an account of the jobs or payroll between
January 1.2001 and August 1,200 . to see if the paya payment of August I needs
to be returned.
/) Production Stamping taking a wait and see approach.
g) Red Wing Foods - May construct 26,700 sq n building. Undecided.
h) DMRF No. 112 - Authorized payn ent to Mr. Thickpenny in the amount of $6,900
for facade grant.
I) Mayor Belsaas and myself met witl Charlie Pfeffer on August 23 and toured
development areas in Maple Grcwl:: and Rogers.
j) The EDA is working with the prop'rty owners of Block 35 for development of a
concept acceptable to the owners a d puhlic works to enhance the rear area of the
private lots. IssLle include parking poor drainage li'om roof<; and plowing, and
trash areas. The EDA is willing to commit a significant amount of DMRF dollars
to complete the improvements.
k) A plan is being drafted to re-instat the business retention and expansion visits.
This though the I DC.
I) Will hegin soon to qualify the par 'els to remain in the Downtown TIF District per
the flJur-year knock down rule and submit to County Auditor.
m) The second round of MHFA appli ations will be awarded around the 2Th of
September. Monticello's scattere housing application is among them.
n) St. Ilemy's - A new developer is i terested in redevelopment of the previous
church site. I Ie was meeting with architect to perhaps renovate the church into
20 apartments and the two other b lilding into 6 apartments in each building.
These would be rental property. . t this point. the parking lot across the street
would serve as parking tl)r the apa tments. To use TIF. a Renovation or llousing
District may qualify. The develop~r would need to petition the County for a
reduction of the existing market v'lue in order to generate sufficient tax
.

incrclncnt. Perhaps a Phase II proje 't would redevelop the other remaining
property. I--Ie also owns 2 1960's I' ntal 4-plex and inquired to renovation
programs. MHf ^ has programs w ich a tied to affordable rental.
Relocation of warehouse business -I What is the HRA feeling about relocating a
warehouse/outdoor storage busines to the industrial park and provide TIF

By Bill Tobin and Tom Sexton
R. ,ecent articles in the
Star Tribune cast
taX-increment fi-
nancing, or TIP, as
an irresponsible
giveaway to developers at tax-
payers' expense.
But those articles are not
the whole story on TIP, which
actu~y has performed very
well as a tool for creating and
retaining jobs in Minnesota.
The fact is, TIP is one of the
few economic development
tools that Minnesota haS. And,
by far, it is the most important
one.
Moreover, TIP has worked
in Minnesota as the Legisla-
ture intended it to work,and
it has been refined over the
years by amendments that
have made it an even better
tool' for building and main-
taining the state's economy.
The basic idea behind TIF is
to use future real estate taxes
to finance current develop-
ment, which in, turn, creates
and retains jobs.
During the past decade,
when economic development
officials from other states ar-
rived in Minnesota to woo
businesses to move to lower-
tax, warmer climates, or when
global competition made it at-
tractive. for. businesses to
move jobs out of Minnesota,
our state had few arrows in its
quiver.
We couldn't lower taxes
overnight. We couldn't change
the weather.' We couldn't .....;....
and didn't want i to - offer
cheap labor, ,
Instead, Hmany . municipal~
ities took advantage of the
state law authorizing TIFs for
.development subsidies need-
ed to retain or create jobs.

vesting CdmmUlli}, resources'
