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.

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. -6-
