Certain written reports (the "Reports") relating to the Modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan and to the activities contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and submitted to the Council and/or made a part of the City files and proceedings on the Modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF solution 96-45 Page 2 Plan. The Reports include data, information and/or substantiation constituting or relating to (1) the "studies and analyses" on why the new Tax Increment District meets the so-called "but for" test; and (2) the bases for the other findings and determinations made in this resolution. The Council hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the Reports, which are hereby incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein. Section 2. Findings for the Approval of the Modified Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan. 2.01. The Council hereby finds that the Modified Redevelopment Plan and the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 and the TIF Plan, are intended and, in the judgement of this Council, the effect of such actions will be, to provide an impetus for redevelopment in the public purpose and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Plan, which are hereby incorporated herein. Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21. 3.01. The Council hereby finds that Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 is an economic development district under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 12. 3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of the Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value on the site (Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21) that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan, that the Modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan conform to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the Modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 by private enterprise. 3.03. The City elects to make a qualifying local contribution in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.1399, subd. 6(d), in order to qualify Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 for exemption from state aid losses set forth in Section 273.1399. 3.04. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above findings stated in this Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determination in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit A. Section 4. Approval of the Modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan. 4.01. The Modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the City Administrator. 4.02. The City staff of the City, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plan and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Council for .esolution 96-45 Page 3 its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. 4.03 The Auditor of Wright County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21, as described in the Plan, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased; and the City of Monticello is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may specify, together with a list of all properties within Tax Increment Financing District No. 1- 21, for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Council member Tom Perrault , and upon a vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Brian Stumpf, Tom Perrault, Brad Fyle, Clint Herbst, Shirley Anderson and the following voted against the same: None Dated: November 12, 1996 ATTEST: City Administrator (Seal) EXHIBIT A RESOLUTION # 96-45 The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows: 1. Finding that the District No. 1-21 is an economic development district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 12. Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 qualifies as an Economic Development District because the project is a manufacturing facility. 2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the plan. A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above. Such analysis indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 and the use of tax increments (See Appendix B of the Tax Increment Financing Plan). A report and analysis describing the rationale for tax increment financing is on file with the City. 3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District No. 1-21 conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-21 is properly zoned and the tax increment financing plan will generally complement and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan. 4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District No. 1-21 will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of Central Monticello Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise. The City's control of the site and utilities and the ability to provide assistance based upon specific needs of the developments will increase its ability to promote orderly and high quality construction within the City and stable employment for the community as a whole.
