d) The proposed Plan has been reviewed by Council 46 ,
a joint committee of Saint Paul Planning District 6 , 7,
10, 11 and 12, by the Saint Paul Planning Commission
and by the Energy Park Development District Advisory
Board; and
e) Pursuant to a resolution of the City Council,
adopted May 14, 1981, a public hearing on the proposal
for the creation of the Energy Park Tax Increment
Financing District (the "Public Hearing") was held on
May 26, 1981, after notice was published, all as required
by Section 273.74 , Subdivision 3, of the Act, at which
Public Hearing all those appearing at said hearing who
desired to speak were heard.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Saint Paul as follows:
1 . On the basis of information available to the City, it
appears, and the City hereby finds:
a) That the Plan contains a statement of objectives
of the City for the improvement of the District. The Plan
contains a statement as to the Development Program for
the District, including the property within the District,
if any, which the City intends to acquire. It also con-
tains estimates of the following: 1) cost of the District,
including administration expenses; 2) amount of bonded
indebtedness to be incurred; 3) sources of revenue to
finance or otherwise pay public costs; 4) the most
recent assessed value of taxable real property within
the District; 5) the estimated captured assessed value
of the District at completion; and 6) the duration of
the District's existence. The Plan also contains a
statement of the City' s estimate of the impact of tax
increment financing on the assessed values of all taxing
jurisdictions in which the District is located in whole
or in part.
b) That the proposed District is co-terminus with
the boundaries of the Development District and is a
Redevelopment District, as that term is defined by the
Act, because the following conditions, reasonably dis-
tributed throughout the District exist:
(1) Sixteen (16) parcels comprising 70 �
of the total number of parcels and ��� of the
total acreage of the District are "predominantly
occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
improvements" , as that phrase is used in Section
273 .73, Subdivision 10 of the Act.
/ �
V '' � ��f��'y(�
-3-
(2) Of those parcels which are occupied by buildings ,
streets, utilities or other improvements, seven
(?� or 33 � of such buildings not incl d niu g
outbuildings are structurally substandard as defined
in Section 273 .73, Subdivision 10 of the Act.
(3) Of those parcels which are occupied by buildings,
streets, utilities or other improvements and are
not structurally substandard, �i:ght (8) or 38 �
of the buildings constitute blighting influences
as set forth in Section 273.73, Subdivision 10 of
the Act.
(4) The District is a "Redevelopment District" as defined
in Section 273 .73, Subdivision 10 of the Act by
reason of clause (a) and by reason of clause (b)
of that Subdivision taken together.
THEREFORE, the City Council hereby finds that the area is
predominantly occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or
other improvements and at least twenty percent (20�) of the
buildings are structurally substandard and at least an additional
thirty percent (30�) are found to require substantial renovation
or removal in order to remove such existing conditions as:
inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relation-
ships, overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling
unit density, obsolete buildings or other identified hazards to
the health, safety and general well being of the community; and
c) That the proposed development in the opinion
of the City would not occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future
and therefore the use of tax increment financing is
deemed necessary.
d) That the Plan conforms to the existing general
plans for the development or redevelopment of the City as
a whole .
e) That the Plan will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole,
for the development of the District by private enterprise.
f) That the City elects the method of tax increment
computation set forth in Section 273 .76 , Subdivision 3,
clause (a) .

RE: Energy Park Tax Increment Financing District
Dear Mr. McKenna: �
On Tuesday, May 26, 1981 I anticipate� City Council approval of a development
district program and tax increment financing plan for Energy Park, and adoption
on that date by City Council of resolutions forming an Energy Park Development
District and an Energy Park Tax Increment District. On that day as we11 I
expect Mayor Latimer will be requesting of the County Auditor a certification
of original assessed value for purposes of establishing a tax increment district
in Energy Park under provisions of Section 273.76 Subd. 1 of the riinneso�ta T�
Increment Financing Act.
In anticipation of these actions, I am transmitting herewith a list of the
properties which are being proposed for inclusion in ttie Energy Park Tax
Increment Financing District. I hope that this early notification will
permit you to more easily assimilate the work load which necessarily follows
from a request for certification of an original assessed value. In accordance
�v�th Sectior. 273.76 Subd. 4, I hzve asked the City's administrato~ of tt:�
Division of Housing and Building Code Enforcement to prepare a list of permits
issued during the previous 18 month period on these listed properties. He will
make that available to me in a matter of about two weeks. I will transmit it to
you with due dispatch.
Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this regard, Mr. McKenna. My thanks
as well to your staff, members of which have given me advice and assistance on
this project through the course of the last few months.
Sincerely,
