CITY OF SAINT PAUL � RIVERFRONT ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAM In 1983 the Minnesata Legislature enacted an Enterprise Zone Program for Minnesota cities and counties. Enterprise zones are a new approach to revitalizing distressed areas of the state. Their purpose is to create jobs and stimulate business development by providing tax incentives to private enterprises. Businesses located within Saint Paul's Riverfront Enterprise Zone (Attachment A) can become eligible for a variety of state 'and local tax reductions. A. G�AL The goal for Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone is the same as that . stated in the cit,�'s Comprehensive Plan as the goal of its economic develop- ment strategy. Namely: "Saint Paul is committed to a strong, diversified and expanding local economy, to ensure the well-being of its citizens, and the fiscal strength af the city. ° 6. OBJECTIVES - � _ The objectives for the city's Enterprise Zone Program flow out of this goal ' ard re-af`irm Saint Paul 's commitment to i,icreasing the city's tax base and the number of available jobs, as well as to improving thQ climate for business ventures. At the end of the Enterprise Zone Program, the city hopes to meet the fo? lowing objectives: 1. Private-to-public ratio of $8.00 private investment per $1.00 public tax .rer�uction or credit; 2. One new or retained job aer $10,000 tax credits or reduct.ions; 3. One new job per $20,000 tax crpdits or reductipns; . 4.

OEFINJTIONS 1. "EmRloyment property" means taxable property, excluding land but including buildings, structures, fixtures, and improvements that satisfy each of the following conditions: (a) ThE property is located within the enterprise zone (Attachment A). (b) The property is comnercial or industrial property which is not used . ' in a trade or business which either is described in section 103 (b)(6)(0) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended through January 15, 1983 (i.e. - ineligible for industria] revenue bonds) or is a public utility. 2. "Market value" of a parcel of employment property means the value of the taxable • property as annua]ly determined less . (a) the market value of all property existing at the time of application for classification, as last assessed prior to the time of application, and (b) any increase in the market value of the property referred to in clause (a) as assessed in each year after the employment property is first placed in service. In each year, any change in the values of the employment property and _ the other property on the land is deemed to be proportionate unless caused by a capital improvement or loss. D. AVAILABLE INCENTIVES On a case-by-case bas�s, the City Council may approve the following types of incentives for businesses located in the enterpr�se zone, subject to approval by the Comnissioner of Revenue: 1. Local. The local contribution necessary te take advantage of available . state incentives may be a property tax reduction for property. defined as employment property or a contribution out of local funds in an amount equal to such a property tax reduction. Employment property, as defined in Section C above, receives a tax reduction � in th�t it constitutes a new class of property, 4�, and is valued and assessed at 20 percent of the first $50,000 of market value and 21.5 percent of the remainder for the taxes levied in the year in which the classification is approved and for the four succeeding years after the approval. . . It should be i�oted that by defini�tion this reduction only applies to � ary increase in market value caused by new investment in eligible property. . 2. State. ' a. An exemption from the general sales tax imposed by Chaptew 297A for purchases of construction materials or equipment for use in the zone; b. A credit against the i��come tax of an employer for we��e+�s economic � � hardship area (Attach�nent B) residents employed in the zone. other than viorkers emplo;�ed in construction. up to a maximum ot $1. 50(1 per employee, : or up to $3,000 per uner�ployed minority, female, handicapped, or eccnomi.cally disadvantaged employee. e�-�r�►er��e�red-+�e��de��-e�-�#�e-�s�►e=�-ees�e��E #�a��►��-a+�ea-{-A��ae�+�efl�-8�.- c. An income tax credit for a percentage of the cost of debt financing to construct new facilities in the zone; d. A state paid property tax credit for a portion of the property taxes paid by a neM: commercial or industrial facility or the additional property taxes paid by an expansion of .ar existing commercial or industrial facility in the zone. ' 3-7-84 -2- E. DURATION OF ZONE By State Statute, Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone is effective for seven years after the date of designation, Nhich was October 31, 1983. That is, tax incentives may be negotiated and approved only during the seven- year life of the zone. Such incentives may, however, outlive the zone itself: for example, begin in year six and run through year eleven. F. APPLICATION PROCESS 1.

The De artment of Plannin and Economic Oevelo ment will re are an annua report to the State reqarding economic activity which has occurred in the zone followin desi nation. The first re ort is due Januar . 15 1985 and wil inc ude the number of 'obs created in the zone the number of economica disadvanta ed individua s hired in the zone � avera e wa e eve of 'obs created and descri tions of an affirmative action programs undertaken by the ity in connection with the zone. This re ort will be ressnted to Cit Council at the time it �s submitted to t e tate. � J. SUMMARY Each enterprise zone proposal will be the result of a unique set of circumstances and needs. It would be counterproductive to develop guidelines which are too detailed and would unduly hamper the freedom to negotiate. Therefore, guidelines are intentionally not. included for. components of the agreements - such as specific uses, locations, interest rates and repayment schedules. However, in all development situations these issues and others will be considered and weighed. The package which provides the greatest long rangE+ benefit to the city will be pursued by city staff. -6- 3-7-84 � � ��/1 \ ,��`J�J W W ��_ �La I I " `I W W I..ILJ�sJ u.�J�.J.J W� � l ] F � I ^ � �� LI � ' �I • .� �1 I • / � �--�� C�" �1�� !�� i � C��,��.. � : �� ► , �� y , ; - c : ,� � � Z � � x �: i m � i: �f�� N � � i �� 1/ � D � ��LJ�� , � '''''� ., —- �►' . ..--� � � .i. � ��' � r �f �' ��,�f�n r-1�� ,�'" + � �� t , g P sLa iL1�� uL' x � � C ` 1j n, � t �';I !,' � I II 11 T��'�� ?

Paul' s selected area as one of the state' s five competitive-city enter- prise zones . These five zoiies complement the six border-city enterprise zones . The attached Riverfront Enterprise Zone program sets forth the goals , objectives , definitions , incenti.ves , duration, process , and guidelines necessary to implement the program. St . Paul' s Riverfront Enterprise Zone program has the potental to revitalize one of the city' s most underutilized areas , while at the same time expanding the city' s employment and tax bases . I urge you to adopt the specifics of this program, which you approved in concept last year , and help to realize that potential . The City Attorney' s Office advises that the program should be considered arter pub7_ic hearin� upon published notice and opnor- tunity for �aritten submission prior to Council approval of the Program. A resolution setting date for hearing and form of notice to publication are enclosed. S 'ncere � �� f� _� � E LA IPZER .r �� 1'�Iayo ,� �� Attachments : - . . � - � ��-3� 7 . ' • CITY OF SAINT PAUL � � RIVERFRONT ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAM In 1983 the Minnesota Legislature enacted an Enterprise Zone Program for Minnesota cities and counties. Enterprise zones are a new approach to revitalizing distressed areas of the state. Their purpose is to create jobs and stimulate business development by providing tax incentives to private enterprises. Businesses located within Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone (Attachment A) can become eligible for a variety of state and local tax reductions. A. GOAL The goal for Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone is the same as that stated in the city's Comprehensive Plan as the goal of its economic development strategy. Namely: "Saint Paul is committed to a strong, diversified and expanding local economy, to ensure the well-being of its citizens, and the fiscal strength of the city. " B. OBJECTIVES The objectives for the city's Enterprise Zone Program flow out of this goal and re-affirm Saint Paul 's co�nitment to increasing the city's tax base and the number of available jobs, as well as to improving the climate for business ventures. At the end of the Enterprise Zone Program, the city hopes to meet the following objectives: 1. Private-to-public ratio of $8.00 private investment per $1.00 public tax reduction or credit; 2. One new or retained job per $10,000 tax credits or reductions; 3. One new job per $20,000 tax credits or reductions; 4. Achieve the maximum of new jobs filled by economically disadvantaged persons confronted with substantial barriers to employment or unemployed residents of the Enterprise Zone's economic hardship area (Attachment 6) through an employment and training agreement with the city's Division of Job Creation and Training in the Department of Planning and Economic Development. C. DEFINITIONS 1. "Employment property" means taxable property, excluding land but including buildings, structures, fixtures, and improvements that satisfy each of the following conditions: (a) The property is located within the enterprise zone (Attac"ment �; . (b) The property is commercial or industrial property which is not used in a trade or business which either is described in section 103 (b) (6) (0) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended throuan . January 15, 1983 (i .e. - ineligibl�e for industrial revenue bonds) or is a public utility. 1-%4-84 ` . \ • T 2. "Market value" of a parcel of employment property means the value of the taxable property as annually determined less (a) the market value of all property existing at the time of application for classificat.ion, as last assessed prior to the time of application, and (b) any increase in the market value of the property referred to in clause (a) as assessed in each year after the employment property is first placed in service. In each year, any change in the values of the employment property and the other property on the land is deemed to be proportionate unless caused by a capital improvement or loss. D. AVAILABLE INCENTIVES On a case-by-case basis, the City Council may approve the following types of incentives for businesses located in the enterprise zone, subject to approval by the Commissioner of Revenue: 1. Local. The local contribution necessary to take advantage of available state incentives may be a property tax reduction for property defined as employment property or a contribution out of local funds in an amount equal to such a property tax reduction. Employment property, as defined in Section C above, receives a tax reduction in that it constitutes a new class of property, 4d, and is valued and assessed at 20 percent of the first $�0,000 of market value and 21.5 percent of the remainder for the taxes levied in the year in which the classification is approved and for the four succeeding years after the approval . It should be noted that by definition this reduction only applies to any increase in market value caused by new investment in eligible property. 2. State. a. An exemption from the general sales tax imposed by Chapter 297A for purchases of construction materials or equipment for use in the ione; b. A credit against the income tax of an employer- for workers emplayed in the zone, other than workers employed in construction, up to a maximum of $1,500 per employee, or up to $3,000 per minority, female, handicapped, economically disadvantaged employee, or unemployed resident of the zone' s economic hardship area (Attachment B) . c. An income tax credit for a percentage of the cost of debt financing to construct new facilities in the zone; d. A state paid property tax credit for a portion of tne property taxes . paid by a new commercial or industrial facility or tne additional property taxes paid by an expansion of an existing com;nercial or industrial facility in the zone. -2- 1-24-84 �,� �� .�`1 � � ' E. DURATION OF ZONE By State Statute, Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone is effective for seven years after the date of designation, which was October 31, 1983. That is, tax incentives may be negotiated and approved only during the seven- year life of the zone. Such incentives may, however, outlive the zone itself: for example, begin in year six and run through year eleven. F. APPLICATION PROCESS 1. Riverfront Office staff ineets with a business to explain the enterprise zone program and to determine eligibility. 2. The business files a preapplication and a non-refundable $500 fee with the Riverfront Office of the Department of Planning and Economic Develop- ment. (Attachment C) 3. Riverfront Office staff ineets with the business to negotiate the amount of enterprise zone incentives, if appropriate. 4. The negotiated financial package is written as part of a draft Participation Agreement and reviewed by the City Attorney's Office. 5. Riverfront Office staff completes its review by issuing a report which describes: a. the proposed employment property; b. the facility or improvement and its proposed use; c. any projected increase in market value; d. the number of jobs created or retained; e. the draft Participation Agreement; and which f. sets forth a recommendation as to whether the proposed property reclassification should be favorably considered by the Mayor and City Council . 6. Following completion of the staff report, an application for reclassification (Attachment D ) is filed with the Riverfront Office, along with a $1500 non-refundable application fee. A copy of the application is also filed with the City Clerk. 7. Upon receipt of an application, the city clerk will furnish a copy to the assessor for the property and to the governing body of each school district and other public body authorized to levy taxes on the property (Attachment E ) . The Clerk will also publish a notice in the official newspaper of the time and place of a hearing to be held by the Saint Paul City Council on the application, not less than 30 days after the notice is published. This notice will state that the applicant, the assessor, representatives of tne affected taxing authorities, and any Saint Paul taxpayer may be heard or may present their views in writing at or before the hearing. � 8. Through the use of the Early Notification System (ENS) , the Riverfront Office will provide notice of al ] such applications filed to the aff ected district council . A copy of the staff report and application wi11 be made available to members of the ENS and other interested parties upon request. -3- 1-24-84 . . , " . 9. Following the public hearing, the City Council will make the final decision to approve or disapprove the application for reclassification within 30 days of the hearing. If disapproved, the reasons shall be set forth in the City Council resolution. If approved, the resolution shall include determinations on the guidelines below (Section G) . 10. The applicant may appeal a disapproval to the Commissioner of Revenue within 30 days thereafter, but only on the ground that the determination is arbitrary, in relation to prior determinations as to classification , under the program, or based upon a mistake of law. 11. Within 60 days after receipt of an approved application or an appeal from the disapproval of an applicaticn, the Commissioner of Revenue will act upon it. The Commissioner af Revenue will approve each application approved by the City Council if he/she finds it complies with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 273.1313. If he/she disapproves the application, or finds grounds exist for appeal of a disapproved application he/she will transmit the finding to the City Council and the applicant. 12. When grounds for appeal have been determined to exist, the City Council will reconsider and take further action on the application within 30 days after receipt of the Corranissioner's of Revenue notice and serve written notice of the action upon the applicant. 13. The applicant, within 30 days after receipt of notice of final disapproval by the Corrmissioner of Revenue or City Council , may appeal from the disapproval to a court of competent jurisdiction. G. REVOCATION The City Council will request the Corrrnissioner of Revenue to approve the revocation of a classification pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 273.1313 if it finds and determines by resolution, af ter hearing upon notice mailed to the applicant by certified mail at least 60 days before the hearing, that: l. The construction or improvement of the facility has not been completed within two years after the approval of the classification, or any longer period that may have been allowed in the approving resolution or may be necessary due to circumstances not reasonably within the control of the applicant; or 2. The applicant has not proceeded in good faith with the construction or improvement of the facility, or wi�h its operation, in a manner which is consistent with the purpose of Minnesota Statutes Section 273.1313 and is possible under circumstances reasonably within the control of the applicant. N. GUIDELINES l. The construction or improvement of th� racility should be reasonably likely to create new employment or pre��ent a loss of employment in Saint Pau 1 . � 2. The proposal should not be likely to ha:�e the effect of t�ansferring existing employment from one or more ��r:�r Tunicipalit�e� vri�nin the state. -4- 1-24-84 . � . . � - . ��-�y�.�� 3. The proposal should not be likely to cause the total market value o�' employment property within Saint Paul to exceed five percent of the total market value of all taxable property within the city, or if it will, the resulting limitation upon the increase of the assessed value of all taxable property within Saint Paul , considering the amount of additional municipal services likely to be required for the employment property, should not be likely to substantially impede the operation or the financial integrity of the city or any other public body levying taxes on property in the city. 4. The proposal should not result in the reduction of the assessed value of existing property within Saint Paul owned by the applicant, through abandonment, demolition, or otherwise, without provision for the restoration of the existing property within a reasonable time in a manner sufficient to restore the assessed valuation. 5. The applicant should be able to demonstrate land control and financial capability. 6. The applicant should address the enterprise zone program's objectives of leverage, job creation, public purpose, and tax base. 7. The proposal should conform with all adopted and applicable city plans. 8. Energy conservation should be encouraged. 9. Each Participation Agreement should contain recapture provisions, which include those contained in Minnesota statutes 273.1314, Sec. 10, Subd. 10 (Attachment F) . 10. Each Participation Agreement should contain an employment and training agreement which specifies employer cooperation with the city's Division cf Job Creation and Training in order to locate qualified applicants for newly created jobs (Attachment G) . This agreement will be administered and monitored by the Division of Job Creation and Training. I. SUMMARY Each enterprise zone proposal will be the result of a unique set of circumstances and needs. It would be counterproductive to develop guidelines which are too detailed and would unduly hamper the freedom to negotiate. Therefore, guidelines are intentionally not included for components of the agreements such as specific uses, locations, interest rates and repayment schedules. However, in all development situations these issues and others will be considered and weighed. The package which provides the greates� long range benefit to the city will be pursued by city staff. -5- 1-24-84 �, `—_ J �_l_:>� / ,; -`-�'____`y-� ��-c'�-;_ `-� Jo i 5 I I� I'—' u.�.� �'� ��.._.; � �!�-'�? _ �� i �� '-lr� :�r-1(T!'�a �-� � i �� I�'�� ; n � �� _ _ �,`1\ ,�w!1�� r� ! � ' � j� f i � li i'� p �I-rI; ; i � �� " I � � k li � ' �i r�Tt �r'��. �, '\ I��^��-:.��. i��_:u L.L lJ �'I�.�j �J'�-' � L��'.�!�0J'� I 1__ y � _ .� � y� ' — — — .

' . CITY OF SAINT PAUL � /� ��-� RIVERFRONT ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAM ��`�� In 1983 the Minnesota Legislature enacted an Enterprise Zone Program for t�linnesota cities and counties. Enterprise zones are a new approach to revitalizing distressed areas of the state. Their purpose is to create jobs and stimulate business development by providing tax incentives to private enterprises. Businesses located within Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone (Attachment A) can become eligible for a variety of state and local tax reductions. A. GOAL The goal for _Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone is the same as that stated in the city's Comprehensive Plan as the goal of its economic development strategy. Namely: "Saint Paul is committed to a strong, diversified and expanding local economy, to ensure the well-being of its citizens, and the fiscal strength of the city. " 6. OBJECTIVES The objectives for the city's Enterprise Zone Program flow out of this goal and re-affirm Saint Paul 's comnitment to increasing the city's tax base and the number of available jobs, as well as to improving the climate for � . business ventures. At the end of the Enterprise Zone Program, the city hopes to meet the following objectives: � . 1. Private-to-public ratio of $8.00 priva�e investment per $1.00 public tax. reduction or credit; - 2. One new or retained job per $10,000 tax credits or reductions; 3. One new job per �20,000 tax credits or reductions; 4. Achieve the maximum of new jobs filled by economically disadvantaged persons� confronted with substantial barriers to employment or unemployed residents of the Enterprise• Zone's economic hardship area (Attachment 6) tnrough an employment and training agreement with the city's Division of Job Creation and Training in the Department of Planning and Economic Development. � C. DEFINIiIONS 1. "Employment property" means taxable property, excluding land but including buildings, structures, fi�tures, and improvem�n�s that satisfy each of the following conditions : (a) The property is located wi�hin the enterprisz zone (Rttachm�n� A)�. . . ! (b) The property is co�nercial or industrial property which is not used in a trade or business v;hich either is described in section ?03 {b) (6) (0) of tne ?nrernal Revenue Code of 1954, as. amend2d through Januzry� l5, 1983 (i .e. - ineligibl�e for in�ustrial revenue bonds) �r is o public utility. � � �-�4-54 . � � . . � , �l �=;�� , 2. "Market value" of a parcel of employment property means thervalue of ' the taxable property as annually determined less (a) the market value of all property existing at the time of applicatiorr for classification, as last assessed prior to the time of application, and " (b) any increase in the market value of the property referred to in clause (a) as assessed in each year. after the employment property is first placed in service. In each year, any change in the values of the employnent property and the other property on the land is deeme� to be proportionate unless caused by a capital improvement or loss. D. AUAILABLE INCENTIVES On a case-by-case basis, the City Council may approve the following types of incentives for businesses located in the enterprise zone, subject to � approval by the Commissioner of Revenue: _ _ 1. Local. The local contribution necessary to take advantage of available state incentives may be a property tax reduction for property defined as employment property or a contribution out of local funds in an amount equal to such a property tax reduction. Employment property, as defined in Section C �above, receives a tax reduction in that it constitutes a new class of property, 4d, and is valued and � assessed at 20 percent of the first �50,000 of market value and 21.5 percent of the remainder for the taxes levied in the year in which the classification is approved and for the f our succeeding years after the approval . It should be noted that by definition tliis reduction only applies to any increase in market value caused by �new :investment in eligible property. 2. State. ' a. An exemption from the general sales tax imposed by Chapter 297A f or purchases of construction materials or equipment for use in the zone; b. A credit against the income tax of �n employer for �,�orkers employed in the zone, other than workers employed in construction, up to a maximum of �1,500 per e�nployee, or up �o �3,000 per minority, female, handicapped, economically disadvantaged ernployee, or unemployed resident of the zone's economic hardsi�ip area (Attachment 3) . c. An income tax credit for a percentage of the cost of debt financing to construct new facilities in the zone; ' ' d. A st�te paid property tax credit for a po�'tion of the prOperty :3xes paid by . a new coirrnercial or industri�l `�cility or �ne addi�ional �roperty taxes paid by an expansion of ar� existing corn�nercial or incustrial `acility in the zone. � -2- i-��-�L . . . � � . , . . � ' �d��F�3�7 E. OURATION OF ZONE . � By State Statute, Saint Paul 's Riverfront Enterprise Zone is effective for seven years after the date of designation, which was October 31, 1983. That is, tax incentives may be negotiated and approved only during the seven- year life of the zone. Such incentives may, however, outlive the zone itself: for example, begin in year six and run through year eleven. � F. APPLICATION PROCESS 1. Riverfront Office staff ineets with a business to explain the enterprise ' zone program and to determine eligibility. 2, The business files a preapplication and a non-refundable $500 fee with the Riverfront Office of the Department of Planning and Economic Develop- ment. (Attachment C) 3. Riverfront Office staff ineets with the business to negotiate the amount of enterprise zone incentives, if appropriate. 4.

If disapproved, the reasons shall be set forth in the City Council resolution. If approved, the resolution shall include determinations on the guidelines below (Section G) . 10. The applicant may appeal a disapproval to the Commissioner of Revenue within 30 days thereafter, but only on the ground that the determination is arbitrary, in relation to prior determinations as to classif�cation under the program, or based upon a mistake of law. 11. Within 60 days after receipt of an approved application or an appeal from the disapproval of an application, the Commissioner of Revenue will act upon it. The Corr�nissioner of Revenue will approve each application approved by the City Council if he/she finds it complies with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 273.1313. If he/she disapproves the application, or finds grounds exist for appeal of a disapproved application he/she will transmit the finding to the City Council and the applicant. 12.

REVOCATION � The City Council will request the Cornnissioner of Revenue to approve the revocation of a classification pursuant to t�finnesota Statutes Section 273.1313 if it finds and determines by resolution, af ter hearing upon notice mailed to the applicant by certified mail at least 60 days before the hearing, that: 1. The construction or improvement of the facility has not been completed within two years after the approval af the classification, or any longer period that may have been allowed in. the approving resolution or may be necessary due to circumstances not reasonably within the control • of the applicant; or . 2. The applicant has not proceeded in good faith with the construction � or improvement of the facility, or with its operation, in a manner v;hich is consi�stent with the purpose of Minnesota S�atutes Section 273. 1313 and is possible under circumstances reasonably within the control of the applicant. . H. 6UIDELI�ES 1. The construction or improvement of the facility should be reason�bly likely to create nek� emalo �� ent or prevent a loss o� employment in Saint Pzul . � 2. The proposal should not be likely to h�ve the e7fect cr tr_ansfer�-ing existing emplo �� ent fro�n one or more o�her municipaliti2s �•;i�hin the stctE. � -4_ 1-24-34 � . . , ' . . ' �,��-'`�-3�� 3. The proposal should not be likely to cause the total market value of • employment property within Saint Paul to exceed five percent of the total market value of all taxable property within the city, or if it will , the resulting limitation upon the increase of the assessed value of all taxable property within Saint Paul, considering the amount of additional municipa] services likely to be required for the employment property, should not be likely to substantially impede the operation . or the financial integrity of the city or any other public body levying taxes on property in the city. 4. The proposal should not result in the reduction of the assessed value of existing property within Saint Paul owned by the applicant, through abandonment, demolition, or otherwise, without provision for the restoration of the existing property within a reasonable time in a manner sufficient to restore the assessed valuation. 5. The applicant should be able to demonstrate land control and financial capability. . 6. The applicant should address the enterprise zone program's objectives of leverage, job creation, public purpose, and tax base. 7. The proposal should conform with all adopted and applicable city plans. 8. Energy conservation should be encouraged. . � 9. Each Participation Agreement should contain recapture provisions, which include those contained in Minnesota sta'tutes 273. 1314, Sec. 10, Subd. 10 (Attachment F). . 10. Each Participation Agreement should contain an employment and training agreement which specifies employer cooperation with the city's Division of Job Creation and Training in order to locate qualified applicants for newly created jobs (Attachment G) . .This agreement will be administered and monitored by the Division of Job Creation and Training. I. SUMMARY • Each enterprise zone proposal will be the result of a unique set of circumstances � and needs. It would be counterproductive to develop guidelines which are too detailed and would unduly hamper the freedom to negotiate. Therefore, guidelines are intentionally not included for components of the agreements such as specific uses, locations, interest rates and repayment schedules. Ho�rever, in all development situations these issues and others will be considered and weighed. The package which provides the greatest long range benefit to the city w�ill .be pursued by city staff. . . . � -5- 1-2=+-�4 �� L= {� x'.� �-,44L P ��— '� L.
