10
11 Section 1. Recitals.
12
13 1.01. It has been proposed that the Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul (the "Port Authority")
14 establish the Williams Hill Tax Increment Financing District (the "District") and a Hazardous Substance
15 Subdistrict therein (the "HSS") and, in connection therewith that the City of Saint Paul (the "City")
16 approve the Tax Increment Financing Plan relating thereto, all pursuant to and in accordance with
17 Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174 through 469.179, inclusive; and Minnesota Statutes, Sections
18 469.048 through 469.068, inclusive; and
19
20 1.02. The Port Authority has investigated the facts and has caused to be prepared a proposed Tax
21 Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan") for the District and the HSS.
22
23 1.03. The Council of the City (the "Council") proposes to make a loan from the City to the
24 Authority from Community Development Block Grant funds (the "CDBG Loan"), and the proceeds of
25 the CDBG Loan will be required to be used by the Port Authority for Project Costs in accordance with
26 the Plan. In connection with the CDBG Loan, the City and the Port Authority will enter into a Loan
27 Agreement whereby the Port authority will pledge the tax increments to be received by the Port
28 Authority from the District and the HSS to the repayment of the CDGB Loan.
29
30 1.04. It has also been proposed that the Port Authority issue bonds to repay the CDBG Loan at
31 some point in the future, which bonds are proposed to be secured by the general obligation of the City
32 which will, in turn, be secured by a pledge of tax increments. The Council will consider adopting an
33 ordinance authorizing the issuance of said bonds by the Port Authority under Minnesota Statutes, Section
34 469.060, and pledging the City's general obligation thereto. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to
35 repay the CDBG Loan, and the tax increments will then be pledged to the payment of the bonds.
36
37 1.05. The Port Authority and/or the City, as applicable, have performed all actions required by
38 law to be performed prior to the establishment of the District and the HSS and the adopdon of the Plan
39 relating thereto, including, but not limited to, notification of Ramsey County and School District No. 625
40 having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the District and the HSS, and the holding of
41 a public hearing after published notice as required by law.

44 ��r"�3.Z�
45 Section 2. Findings by the City for the Approval of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the
46 Williams Hill Tax Increment Financing District and the Hazardous Substance Subdistrict therein.
47
48 2.01. The Council hereby finds that the District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minnesota
49 Statues, Section 469.174, Subd. 10, paragraph (a), clause (2), and the HSS is a hazardous substance
50 subdistrict pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Section 469,175, Subd. 7. The Port Authority shall make the
51 fmdings necessary to qualify the �ISS.
52
53 2.02. The Council hereby finds that the District and the HSS, and the approval of the Plan relating
54 thereto, are intended and, in the judgment of this Council, the effect of such actions will be, to provide
55 an impetus for rede�elopment in the District and to further the public purposes and accomplish certain
56 objectives as specified in the Plan.
57
58 2.03. The Council further finds that the proposed development or redevelopment in the District, in
59 the opinion of the City, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
60 foreseeable future and that the increased market value on the site that could reasonably be expected to
61 occur without the use of tax increment financing (being $0) would be less than the increase in the mazket
62 value estimated to result from the proposed development (being approximately $9,300,000) after
63 subtracting the present value of the projected ta�c increments for the maximum duration of the District
64 permitted by the Plan (being approximately $3,760,000) and, therefore, the use of tax increment
65 financing is deemed necessary; that the Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or
66 redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the Plan will afford maximum opportunity consistent with
67 the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the District by private enterprise. The
68 City dces not elect to compute the tax increments in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section
69 469.177, subd. 3, clause (b), meaning that tax increments will be determined before the application of
70 the fiscal disparities provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F.
71
72 2.04. The City elects to make a qualifying local contribution in accordance with Minnesota
73 Statutes, Section 273.1399, Subd. 6(d), in order to qualify the District for exemption from state aid
74 losses set forth in Secdon 273.1399.
75
76 2.05. The Council further finds, declazes and determines that the City made the above findings
77 stated in this Section 2 and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determinadon in
78 writing, attached hereto as Attachment A.
79
80 Section 3. Approval of the Plan and Further pocumentation.

ATTACHMENT A
RESOLUTION #
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment
Financing Plan (the "Plan") for the Williams Hill Tax Increment Financing District (the
"District") as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as
follows:
1. Finding that the District is a redevelopment district as defined in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subd. 10, paragraph (a), clause (2).
The District is a contiguous geographic area consisting of a portion of a project within which
the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the District, exist: the property
consists of vacant, underused, or inappropriately used vacated railroad rights-of-way. All but
three of the parcels of the District are owned or were previously owned by Burlington
Northern Railroad, and several pazcels contained, until recently, railroad tracks. The right-
of-way represented by the railroad tracks and ownership by the railroad has been vacated in
recent years and not succeeded by use, development or activity incompatible with the right-
of-way. The parcels not owned by the railroad are necessary for the development of the
other property in the District.
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 ,
therefore, the use of ta�c increment financing is deemed necessary 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.
Due to the fragmented ownership of the property in the District, excessive costs for the
clearance, grading, soil and pollution correction, and inadequate public improvements
(including roadways and utilities) to serve the property, this project is feasible only through
assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The proposed development consists of an
approlcimately 325,000 square foot industrial park for light industrial and manufacturing
facilities, the increase in market value of which is estimated to be approximately $9,300,000.
The value of development expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing is $0
which is less than the esdmated increase in market value expected to be created by the
proposed project (approximately $9,300,000) minus the present value of the projected tax
increments (approximately $3,760,000).
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
°l�-I�al
The site is appropriately zoned. The proposed development or re�evelopment is consistent
with the Phalen Corridor Initiative of the City, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of
the City of Saint Paul and the Port Authority.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the District and the HSS will
afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of the District by private enterprise.
The establishment of the District and the HSS will result in the facilitation of redevelopment
in the Williams Hill area of the City and the creation of jobs for residents of the City.

Re: Williams Hill Tax Increment Finance District
PUBLIC HEARING
Date: October 16, 1996
PURPOSE
The City Council is being asked to approve the establishment of a tax increment finance district
and hazardous substance subdistrict for the Williams Hill redevelopment project.
BACKGROUND
The Williams Hill project will result in the redevelopment of a blighted and underutilized 30
acre site. Development of a light industrial park on the site will create approxirnately 325 living
wage jobs paying a minimum of$8 per hour, plus benefits and create 200 construction jobs. The
Saint Paul Port Authority and Saint Paul Department of Planning and Economic Development
(PED) will work together to redevelop the project. The Port Authority will be implementing the
project and PED and the Port will jointly be providing staff expertise and financing for the
project.
The permanent jobs will generate a payroll of approximately �6.8 Million per year. The Port
will require that 60% of new permanent employees, hired by companies locating in Williams Hill
project be St. Paul residents and a minimum of 90 jobs will go to residents of the Enterprise
Zone. New taxes of at least �550,000 will be generated by the project. Through redevelopment
of the site existing contamination will be cleaned up, facilitating the reuse of this valuable inner
city industrial site.
� °I � - �� z�
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SCHEDULE
1996 Application for pollution cleanup funds to DTED and MET Council.
1997 Close on acquisitions, begin moving materials, grade site, and remediate
pollution.
1998 Install utilities and street. Council approval of public works assessment.
Sites ready for sa1e, construction of first industrial facility begins.
2002 Project fully developed. Tax increments collected for 100% project, bonds issued,
repayment of CDBG Float loan.
PROJECT FINANCING
The largest source of permanent financing for this project will be provided through tax
increment financing. Development of Williams Hill will result in the construction of 325,000
sq.ft. of building, assuming a 30% building to land coverage ration applied to the 25 acres. The
Port Authority projections assume that the project will be built out at $32.00 a sq. ft. with a
County assessed value at 90% of cost, or $28.80 per sq.ft. No inflation of property values is
assumed. To the e�ent that the property values increase, increments collected may exceed
projections.
Interim financing for the project will be provided through the utilization of a CDBG float loan
of$5.5 Million. Other funding sources include a $1,000,000 Enterprise Community grant,
5400,000 of 1995/1996 STAR funds, a public works assessment of approacimately $610,000, an
EDI grant of$200,000, Port Authority funds of$394,000 and pollution cleanup funding from
DTED/MET Council/Petro funds. Attached is a detailed Sources and Uses of Funds statement.
Port Authority projections indicate that the project will be 100% complete and fully assessed by
the first quarter of 2002. At that time the Port Authority will issue bonds and the CDBG float
loan will be repaid. Utilization of the CDBG float loan will save the project approximately $2
Million in interest expense. When the project is fully assessed, it is estimated to generate tax
increments of$550,000 per year. Tax increments will be deposited with the Port Authority and
use of the increments will be subject to an agreement to be executed by the Port Authority and
the City. Tax increments will be utilized for debt payment on the bonds, administration, and
project costs.
According to MN Statues, Section 273.1399, the City of St. Paul may be exempt from local
government aid and agricultural credit aid penalties if the Port Authority or City make a local
contribution to the Project equal to �ive percent of the tax increment. This amount is calculated
to be approximately 5750,000. The City and Port Authority will make an upfront local
contribution. Local contributions include the following funding sources: STAR, Enterprise
Community, EDI, public works assessment and Port Authority. These local funds total
�2,604,000 so there are more than enough funds to meet the local contribution requirement.
MARKET FACTORS
Over a 15 month period the Port Authority has experienced market demand for over 160 acres
of industrial property that would have created or retained 1,500 jobs if land had been available.
Towle Real Estate reports that over the past three years there have been record-low vacancy
. �I�-� -� �,1
rates for nearly every sector of the industrial market. Because of the increased demand for
industrial space, there has been an increase in rental rates and a rebound in industrial land
prices. Continued market demand will be dependent on the regional, national and global
economies.
PUBLIC PURPOSE
The project will result in economic development benefits including job creation, generation of
tax base, stabilized market values, public improvements, creation and retention of businesses,
and generation of private investment. Community development bene�ts include: removal of
blight and pollution, public improvements, and an increase in the tax base.
Through recycling and cleaning the contaminated industrial property, redevelopment will occur
on a valuable inner city site. Existing broader transportation, utility and sewer infrastructure will
serve the site. Employees of businesses located in the project will be able to utilize mass transit.
All of the above will contribute toward more efficient utilization of our resources and help
reduce CO2 emissions. Through redevelopment of industrial sites in the inner cities, we assist
in limiting urban sprawl and the unnecessary waste of our environmental and fiscal resources.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
The Williams Hill project is the gateway project for the Phalen Corridor. The proposed
financing plan and establishment of a TIF district for the project is endorsed by the Phalen
Conidor Initiative, a collaborative planning group which includes representatives from District
Councils 2,4, and 5, elected officials, ESNDC, ESABA and 3M.
The attached resolution is sponsored by Councilmember Janice Rettman.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution, creating a tax
increment finance district and hazardous substance subdistrict for the Williams Hill project.

Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR THE
WILLIAMS HILL TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SUBDISTRICT
I. Introduction
A. Background
The Phalen Corridor Initiative (PCI) commenced approximately three years ago by a
concerted grassroots community effort involving a unique partnership among neighborhood
groups, business associations, business representatives, community development corporations,
and government agencies at various levels. Collectively these parties identified the fact that the
East Side of Saint Paul must undergo certain revitalization activities in order to improve the lives
of its residents and the environment for job-creating businesses. Groups such as the East Side
Area Business Association (ESABA) and the area District Councils led the neighborhood �
groundswell to formalize this economic development revitalization effort, which ultimately led
to the formation of the Phalen Conidor Steering Committee, comprised of representatives of the
aforementioned groups. Specific objectives related to the overall goals of job creation for
neighborhood residents at livable wages, expansion of land opportunities for growing
manufacturers along the Phalen Corridor, and creation of a new Phalen Roadway were
developed. These objectives included the redevelopment of certain blighted and underutilized
industrial properties, the remediation of contaminated industrial sites, the provision of ready-to-
develop land for expanding manufacturers, the linkage of job opportunities with residents willing
to train and apply for these jobs, and the commencement of an environmental impact study for
the Phalen Corridor Roadway. The Saint Paul Port Authority and City Department of Planning ' '
and Economic Development (PED) have worked closely over the past few years with all of the
interested parties and have responded to the community's collective request that the Williams
Hill property be redeveloped by the Port Authority as an industrial business park.
The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul (the "Port Authority") proposes a plan for the
redevelopment of the Williams Hill site (the "Project"), an approximately 30 acre site located
approximately one mile to the northeast of downtown Saint Paul, northeast of the intersection of
University Avenue and Interstate 35-E. On August 23, 1994 the Port Authority Board of
Commissioners adopted its Resolution No. 3489 creating the Williams Hill Industrial Development
District (which included the Project and an area immediately north of the Project). On August 22,
1995 the Port Authority Board adopted its Resolution No. 3538 creating the Phalen Corridor
Industrial Development District, an approximately 100 acre site on the east side of Saint Paul along
a line roughly adjacent to the Chicago Northwestern rail line running eastward beginning at
Highway 35E and the north boundary of the Project and continues to Johnson Parkway on the east.
The Port Authority's goal in creating both industrial development districts was identified as being to
"create the maximum ta�c base and job creation possible in the azea."

B. Creation of Redevelopment Tax Increment District and Hazardous Substance
Subdistrict; Statutory Authority.
This tax increment plan relates to the creation, under Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174,
Subd. 10 of the Williams Hill Redevelopment Tax Increment District (the "District"), and the
creation within the District of a Hazardous Substance Subdistrict (the "HSS") pursuant to Section
469.175, Subd. 7.
C. Need and Public Purpose
The East Side of Saint Paul has seen a reduction in living wage manufacturing jobs since
th� 1980s. The industrial park at Williams Hill will provide significant land area available to
private companies to relocate to the City of Saint Paul or expand their businesses within the City.
The City's tax base will be increased by the construction of approximately 32�,000 square feet of
new light industrial and manufacturing facilities. Job creation potential will be maximized with
over 325 jobs being created. These jobs will be available to Saint Paul and its East Side residents.
This Project will be a catalyst for the creation of additional job opportunities and tax base
enhancements at the various other smaller sites located along the Phalen Corridor.
Private development of the Williams Hill site has not been possible for a variety of reasons.
These reasons include fragmented ownership of the property, excessive property costs for the
clearance, grading, soil and pollution correction, and inadequate public improvements, including
roadways and utilities to serve the property. All of these conditions have resulted in a lack of
private investment in this area. As a result, the property has not provided adequate employment
opportunities and has not contributed to the tax base and general economy of the City, the school
district ,the County and the State to its full potential. ' �
It is necessary that the Port Authority exercise its port authority powers under state law to
develop, implement, and finance a program designed to encourage, ensure and facilitate the
industrial development and redevelopment of the property. This redevelopment will further
accomplish the public purposes specified in this paragraph.
The Williams Hill site is composed of several land use activities that are incompatible with
the surrounding azea. All but one acre of this property was previously owned by a railroad and
included several rail tracks. Also on the site were several lazge hills that historically were mined for
their aggregate, sand and other material. As the mining operations reduced the hills, highway and
roadway construction debris was deposited in their place. These piles of aggregate now cover most
of the property. In addition to the storage of the aggregate material, portions of the site are used for
aggregate crushing and processing. This activity is occurring on the northern portion of the site and
the southern portion of the site as well. Other current uses include the storage of scrap metal and an
active asphalt plant.

II. Objectives of the Port Authorit,y for the imFrovements in the Williams Hill
Project area.
A. Provide job opportunities for Saint Paut residents.
Given the new construction of approximately 325,000 square feet and using a ratio of one
job per 1,000 square feet, it is estimated that the opportunity will exist for a minimum of 325 jobs.
B. To redevelop unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently used
former railroad property.
The Williams Hill area is a former railroad yard that has been underutilized for many years.
The majority of the azea comprising the site has been used most recently as a gravel mining and
storage azea and an asphalt production area. It has been otherwise undeveloped since termination
of use by Burlington Northern Railroad.
C. Provide Public Improvements
This area is underserved by public utilities. To address this, a new roadway, sewers,
streetlighting and gas and electric service will be brought to the site. In addition, the site will be
graded to allow for the construction of light industrial and manufacturing facilities. Provision
will be made for future roads that are being considered but not yet built, including the East
Central Business District Bypass and Phalen Boulevard. Regional transit will be enhanced by a
roadway connecting University Avenue to Pennsylvania and the entrance to Interstate 35-E.
D. Develop an industrial park at the western terminus of the Phalen Corridor. '
The industrial park to be developed in the District will provide approximately 25 net
developable acres of land intended for light industrial users. This area is in the midrange between
the 30 acres being made available at Crosby Lake and the 15 acres in the first phase of the
Arlington/Jackson site. The East Central Business District Bypass is proposed to pass along the
eastern edge of the park, although the final route in the proximity of the park has not yet been
determined. There will be good access to and from the pazk relative to University Avenue and
Interstate 35E. There aze no residences immediately adjacent to the park, the nearest being
approximately 0.2 mile to the east, separated from the park by railroad tracks and a large ravine.
The Project area is currently zoned I-2. The pazk is neaz bus routes, enhancing access to jobs for
East Side residents. A specific set of park covenants and restrictions will be developed and adopted
prior to any land sales. �

E. Expand the industrial tax base of the City of Saint Paul.
It is expected that the taxable market value of parcels in the ta�c increment district will
increase by approximately $9,300,000 once the park is placed in service. This value will come
from private development of approximately 325,000 square feet of light industrial buildings with an
average construction value of$32.00 per square foot. The goal is to have 30%coverage of the land
by buildings. The taxable value of new facilities is assumed to be 90%of their construction cost.
F. Remove blight and improve air quality in a key site within view of downtown
Saint Paul.
The Williams Hill area is visible from most high rise buildings in downtown Saint Paul.
The piles of aggregate material at the site will be removed in the redevelopment process, and
replaced with new privately constructed buildings, substantially improving the East Side area and
the entrance to downtown St. Paul.
The aggregate processing activities, as well as the continued deposit of construction
roadway debris has had a negative impact on the air quality of the area. These air quality concerns
have been noted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ("MPCA"), which is seeking
enforcement to reduce the emissions of dirt and dust from the area.
G. Hazardous Substance Remediation.
The Port Authority will undertake activities for the removal and remediation of the
Williams Hill area, as specified in a development response action plan to be approved by the
MPCA, of possible contaminants such as heavy metals, petroleum and solvents. These activities �
will eliminate areas of hazardous substance in the designated hazardous substance sites.
III. Classification of the District.
The Port Authority and the City of Saint Paul, in determining the need to create a tax
increment financing district in accordance with Section 469.174, finds that the District is a
redevelopment district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10 because the
property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently used railyards,
rail storage facilities, or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way, and that the HSS is a
hazardous substance subdistrict pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 7.
In addition, the District meets the requirements of a redevelopment district pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176, Subd. 4; because at least 90% of the revenues derived from
tax increments from the District will be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that
allowed designation of the District as a redevelopment district under Section 469.174, Subd. 10
described above. These costs include acquiring properties and adjacent pazcels, demolition of
aoaszi.�
4
. � , . � g� -�3�/
structures, clearing of land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks and parking facilities for
the site. The allocated administrative costs may also be included in the qualifying costs.
IV. 1�crintion of the development�ro�ram for the Williams Hill Project.
The development program consists of the development of an industrial park to provide
buildable sites for industrial users in the District. This will require acquiring land, management of
pollution remediation, installation of infrastructure, incumng financing related expenses and
funding administrative functions, all as described in more detail below:
A. Acquire property.
Land will be purchased from three owners of property in the Williams Hill area. The
following table shows the name of the sellers, the approximate area being acquired and the
estimated total purchase price:
Approximate Estimated
Name of Seller Acres Purchased Purchase Price
Ashbach Construction 25 acres $2,000,000
Burlington Northern Railroad 4 acres $ 345,000
Lametti Construction re $ 52,000
Total 30 acres $2,397,000
In addition, project costs will include approximately $85,000 of property taxes payable in 1997 on
the acquired properties. � '
B. Relocate certain existing operations.
Relocation benefits are estimated to aggregate $2,670,000. Relocation services will be
available pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws.
C. Remediate polluted soils.
Due to the historical use of a significant azea of the site as an asphalt recycling operation
and the proximity of the site to an auto salvage operation, various pollutants, including petroleum,
heavy metals and solvents, have been identified in both the soil and in the groundwater.
Remediation oversight cost is estimated at this time to total $612,000. This cost will be further
defined when additional testing is completed and a Remedial Action Plan approved by the MPCA.
The cost will include line items for legal advice, field testing, soil and groundwater remediation,
and MPCA activities. Prior to certification of the HSS by the County Auditor, a development
response action plan will be completed and approved by the MPCA.

� � , : 9� /3a/
D. Undertake and install site improvements and utilities.
Site improvements will include demolition, engineering, site grading, installation of�storm
and sanitary sewers, water mains, roadway construction, traffic signals, gas and electric utilities,
street lighting and landscaping. Total site improvement costs are anticipated to equal
approximately$2,150,000.
E. Contracts for professional services essential to the redevelopment activities.
Professional services will include land surveys and title work, real estate, legal, civil
engineering, geotechnical engineering, appraisals, relocation consultant, traffic engineering and
park design. The total cost for professional services, other than bond issuance costs, is estimated at
$370,000.
F. Incur costs and expenses connected with financing activities.
The Port Authority shall, by the end of the year 2002, issue tax exempt general obligation
tax increment bonds to finance approximately $5,475,000 of total project costs. Bond issuance
costs plus other financing related costs, including construction period interest, legal expenses,
printing and underwriter's discount,are anticipated to total approximately$415,000.
G. Incur costs and expenses in connection with the marketing of the redeveloped
property for private development.
Once redeveloped, the properties in the industrial park will be marketed for private � �
development. Marketing costs, including advertising, promotional events and materials, and broker
commissions,are expected to aggregate$203,000.
V. Description of contracts entered into at the time of pre.�aration of the Plan
The following, as required by Section 469.175, Subd. 1(3), is a list of development
activities that are proposed to take place within the Williams Hill Project for which contracts have
been entered into at the time of the preparation of this plan, including the names of the parties to the
contract, the activity governed by the contract, the cost stated in the contract, and the expected date
of completion of that activity.

VI. Descrintion of other tvnes of development activities which can reasonably be
ex�ected to take nlace within the Williams Hill Project
It is expected that the end-users of the Williams Hill Industrial Park will consist of light
industrial businesses. These activities will include production,assembly,warehouse, distribution
and attendant office space that lead to creation of living wage jobs. A goal of this tax increment
plan is to generate new construction value equivalent to approximately 325,000 square feet with a
construction cost of$32.00 per square foot, assuming a 30%building to land coverage ratio applied
to 25 acres. Another goal is to provide at least 325 jobs,based upon at least one job per 1,000
square feet of building space. Both goals,along with the Port Authority's focus on light industrial � �
and manufacturing development and customized training for city residents,will be the
consideration for selecting the end use of individual land parcels in the District. Development
activities in the District,which may require the expenditure of tax increments,will consist of
activities necessary and ancillary to promoting and maximizing the above goals and focus.
Construction of new buildings is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of
calendaz year 1998 and will continue into 2001.
VII. �ost of the Project and description of the Williams Hill Tax Increment District
The following, as required by Section 469.175, Subd. 1(5), are estimates of the (i) cost of
the Project, including administration expenses; (ii) amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred;
(iii) sources of revenue to finance or otherwise pay public costs; (iv) the most recent net ta�c
capacity of taxable real property within the tax increment financing district; (v) the estimated
captured net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district at completion; and (vi) the duration
of the tax increment financing district's existence.
aoas?t.i

� � � � �� /3�--/
A. Cost of the Project,including administrative expenses.
The total cost of the Project is estimated at $8,902,000, plus administrative chazges in an
amount up to 10%of the tax increment expenditures.
B. Amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred.
The Port Authority shall be the issuer of one or more series of tax exempt general obligation
tax increment bonds by the end of the year 2002 in the approximate amount of $5,475,000 as
takeout financing for an interim loan to be provided by the City of Saint Paul for approximately
$5,220,000 of the total project costs. The Port Authority may, after the initial issuance of bonds,
issue refunding bonds for purposes of refinancing such bonded indebtedness.
C. Sources of revenue to finance or otherwise pay public costs.
The following are the likely sources for funding the total Project, including the tax
increments which will be pledged to the bonded indebtedness:
i. Tax Increments
Tax increments, net of up to 10% for administrative expenses, aze anticipated to
equal $490,000 annually. All tax increments will be first pledged to the payment of debt
service on the$5,475,000 tax exempt general obligation tax increment bonds.
ii. Land sales estimated at$0.00 per square foot. � '
Federal tax law, pursuant to which the bonds will receive their tax exempt status,
prohibits more than a nominal private payment component. Due to the complexity of the
present value calculations and associated risks when taking into account land sale prices
over a three year period, compared to the value of the tax exempt nature of the bonds, it has
been assumed that land parcels will be sold for a price of$1.00 each. T'he Port Authority
will be compensated for the land through the required covenants from the buyers of the land
regarding job creation.
iii. Citv of Saint Paul
The City of Saint Paul will provide interim funding for approximately$5,220,000 of
project costs through a Community Development Block Grant float loan using funds
available to the City from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. It is
expected that this loan will be repaid with the proceeds of the tax increment bonds referred
to above.
aoas2i.i

, .� �� i3��
In addition, the City of Saint Paul will provide other funds from the following
sources in the approximate amounts indicated:
a. Economic Development Initiative
The City has a grant in the amount of$200,000 from the Office of
Community Planning and Development,US Department of Housing and
Urban Development(HUD).
b. Enterprise Community
Application is being made by the City for a grant from HLTD in the amount
of$1,000,000.
c.Neighborhood Sales Tax Revitalization(STAR)Program
The source of these funds is the City's one-half cent sales tax.The Port
Authority and its partners submitted an application for$250,000 in the 1996
application cycle. The application was submitted on April 15, 1996.
d. City Public Works
This source of funds will finance the installation of roadways through the
industrial park. The expected funding amount is$610,000.
iv. Pollution Funds
Pollution funds estimated at$583,000 will be derived from some or all of the following sources:
a. Petro-Fund
This fund is administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA). This fund allows for the reimbursement of cleanup of petroleum
related releases.
b. State of Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development
This agency has funding for the redevelopment of polluted sites that have a
remedial action plan approved by the MPCA. The Port Authority will
consider accessing these funds as appropriate.
c. Metropolitan Council
This agency has funding for the redevelopment of polluted sites that have a
remedial action plan approved by the MPCA. The Port Authority will
consider accessing these funds as appropriate.

. ., 9�-�3��
d. Hazardous Substance Subdistrict
The HSS will support that portion of the bonded indebtedness attributable to
funding pollution remediation.
v. Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul
The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul expects to contribute funds in the
amount of$544,000. This amount will include $150,000 of STAR proceeds approved in
1995.
vi. I�vestment income
None expected. It is expected that all funds will be expended as received.
vii. G�p Funding
Approximately $240,000 of funds, as yet unidentified, will be required to complete
the funding of the Project. These funds will be identified prior to full implementation of the Project.
D. The most recent net tax capacity of taxable real property within the tax
increment financing district.
At January 31, 1996 the total tax capacity of property parcels to be included in the District
was $52,779. Of the 25 separate existing parcels, 10 parcels with an aggregate mazket value of
$350,100, or 22% of the $1,643,570 total base market value in the District, are exempt from
taxation as railroad property. Of the $1,643,570 total base market value, only $112,100, or 7% of � �
the total, is attributable to buildings, all of which will be removed in connection with the
development pursuant to this Plan. The $1,531,470 of mazket value attributable to the land is
assumed to remain constant. The original tax capacity and Tax Rate are calculated in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and Section 469.177, Subd. 1.
E. The estimated captured net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district
at completion. �
Twenty five acres of developable land at a 30%building to land ratio and $32.00 per square
foot construction value are expected to result in 325,000 square feet of new construction with an
aggregate assumed mazket value of $9,410,000. Assuming land values remain constant and the
demolition of approximately $115,000 mazket value of existing structures in the District, the
increase in market value is estimated at $9,300,000. Applying a 4.00% tax capacity rate results in
estimated captured tax capacity of approximately $370,000 at January 2, 2002, the year following
expected completion of construction of buildings in the industrial park. This captured tax capacity
aoasi i.i
10
. , � 9� i,3a/
is calculated in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 4 and 469.177, Subd.
2.
F. The original tax capacity and captured tax capacity of the HSS.
The original tax capacity of the HSS is $49,568. Expected remediation expenditures of
$612,000 deducted from the original tax capacity results in the maximum captured tax capacity
allowed in the amount of$49,568. ,
G. The duration of the tax increment financing district's existence.
The District will be certified in 1996. The first tax increments are anticipated to be
generated for taxes payable in the yeaz 2000. The duration of the District will run 25 yeazs from the
first receipt by the Port Authority of tax increments,which will be through calendar yeaz 2025. The
maximum duration of a hazardous substance subdistrict is the lesser of(i) 25 years from the date
additional tax increment from the HSS is received, or (ii) the period necessary to recover the costs
of removal or remedial actions specified in the development response action plan. It is estimated
that the Port Authority could collect tax increments on the HSS through the year 2012. The Port
Authority does, however, reserve the right to decertify the District and the HSS prior to the legally
required date.
VIII. Alternate estimates of the imnact of the tax increment financing on the net tax
capacities of all taxing jurisdictions.
The taxing jurisdictions in which the District is located in whole or in part are as follows: .
a. Independent School District #625, whose boundaries are coterminous with those of
the City of Saint Paul.
b. The County of Ramsey, the total market value of which the City of Saint Paul
contributes approximately 45%.
c. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, whose
boundaries are coterminous with those of the`City of Saint Paul.
d. The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul, the requesting authority, whose
boundaries are coterminous with those of the City of Saint Paul and whose powers to levy and use
property taxes are limited.
e. Metropolitan authorities, such as the Metropolitan Council, Metropolitan Airports
Commission, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and the Metropolitan Mosquito Control
aoaa2i.i
11
.. . � q( /3�-/
District. Of these, only the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District
currently levy taxes on real estate.
The Port Authority is required by Minnesota Statutes Section 469.175, Subd. 1(a)(6) to make
statements relative to the alternate estimates of the impact of the tax increment financing on the
net tax capacities of all taxing jurisdictions in which the tax increment financing district is
located in whole or in part. For purposes of one statement, which is made in Statement A below,
the Port Authority shall assume that the estimated captured net tax capacity «�ould be available to
the taxing jurisdictions without creation of the district. For purposes of the second statement,
made in Statement B below,the Port Authority shall assume that none of the estimated captured
net tax capacity would be available to the taxing jurisdictions without creation of the district.
Statement A.
Under the assumption that the estimated captured net tax capacity would be available to the taxing
jurisdictions without creation of the District, creation of the District will serve to deny these taxing
jurisdictions the taxes from the captured net tax capacity in the amount estimated under Section
VII.E. above. In addition, the taxes on the base value will also be lost due to the Hazardous
Substance Subdistrict created within the District. During the period between (i) the acquisition of
the land, after which the buildings will be demolished, and (ii) the construction of the new private
development, the taxing jurisdictions will not receive taxes on the demolished buildings, which
account for 7.42% of the current market value within the District. For the period 1997 through
2001,when the property is held in the name of the Port Authority and is exempt from taxation prior
to being sold to private parties,there will be no taxes paid from property in the District.
Statement B.
The Port Authority believes that ne of the estimated captured net tax capacity would be available �
to the taxing jurisdictions without creation of the District due to the expense of getting the land to a
state in which it would be conducive to the generation of such increased value. Assuming this to be
true, the taxing jurisdictions would continue to receive the same amount of taxes as they have
currently been receiving based on the current net tax capacity of the District as set forth in Section
VII.D. above. Once the tax increment district terminates in 2025, the taxing jurisdictions will not
only receive the taxes that they have received in the past, but pazcels currently valued at $350,100,
or 22% of the $1,643,570 total base market value in the District, which are currently exempt from
taxation due to their status as railroad property, will be put back on the tax rolls after having been
developed to generate the captured tax capacity.
IX. Studies and analysis used to determine need for tax increment financin�
The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul has determined that the proposed development
or redevelopment of the Williams Hill area would not reasonably be expected to 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
aoas2�.i
12
. . � 9`� --����
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.
The Port Authority made this finding in a resolution adopted on , 199_based
on data collected and presented to the Board by Port Authority staff.
The studies and analyses used to make the determination that the proposed development in the
opinion of the Port Authority would not reasonably be expected to occur through private
investment within the foreseeable future, and therefore the use of tax increment is deemed
necessary,are as follows:
a. Phalen Corridor Redevelopment proposal -March 1994
b. Phalen Corridor Redevelopment proposal-March 1993,Updated Mazch 1994
c. Technical Report- Socio-Economic Background for the Phalen Boulevazd EIS - Surveys
of residents, local leaders, commercial managers and industrial managers-February, 1996
d. Port Authority analysis of cost to develop Williams Hill-June 13, 1996
e. The project is contained within a federally designated Enterprise Zone.
X. Identification of all parcels to be included in the District.
Attached hereto in Appendix A is a list of the Properiy Identification Numbers for all � �
properties to be included in the District, a map showing the Project area, the District and the _
existing properties,and a legal description identifying the boundaries of the District.
XI. �Iazardous Substance Subdistrict.
Certification of the HSS will allow taxes attributable to the base value of the District to be
used to reimburse or pay all or a portion of the estimated $612,000 of pollution testing and
remediation costs. As was mentioned in Section VIII above, the HSS will cause taxes on the base
value of the District to be lost until such time as the pollution costs are satisfied. Total taxes
payable in 1995 were approximately $80,400. As mentioned above, a response action plan will be
completed and submitted to the MPCA for approval. The Port Authority has studied the tax
increment district and concluded the development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment and tax increment otherwise available from the District, and therefore
the use of the HSS is deemed necessary.

Attached hereto in Appendix B is a list of the Property Identification Numbers for all
properties to be included in the HSS, a map showing the Project azea, the HSS and the existing
properties, and a legal description identifying the boundaries of the HSS.
XII. District administration and annual disclosure.
Administration of the District will be the responsibility of the City of Saint Paul. The
resolutions of the City and the Port Authority approving and creating the District will direct the
County to forward all tax increment from the District to the Port Authority. Use of such tax
increment by the Port Authority will be subject to terms and conditions set forth in an agreement to
be executed by the Port Authority and the City. Tax increments will be deposited into interest
bearing accounts separate and distinct from other funds of the Port Authority. Tax increments will
be used only for activities described in this tax increment plan.
The City will report annually to the State Auditor, county boazd, school board and
Departrnent of Revenue regarding activities in the District as required by Section 469.175,
subdivision 5 and subdivision 6 and will include information with regard to the District in the data
necessary to comply with subdivision 6a. With regazd to the local contributiori as discussed in
Section XIX, the City will file necessary reports required by the Department of Revenue, in the
form attached hereto as Appendix C,or such form as the Department of Revenue may then require.
XIII. Modifications to District
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subd. 4, any reduction or
enlargement of the geographic area of the Project or tax increment financing district; increase in
amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination to capitalize interest on '
debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the amount
of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax capacity to be
retained by the Port Authority; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures; or
designation of additional property to be acquired by the Port Authority shall be approved upon the
notice and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original
plan. The geographic area of a tax increment financing district may be reduced, but shall not be
enlarged after five years following the date of eertification of the original tax capacity by the county
auditor.
XIV. Administrative Ex enses
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 14; and Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.176, Subd. 3 administrative expenses means all expenditures of an authority other than
amounts paid for the purchase of land or amounts paid to contractors or others providing materials
and services, including architectural and engineering services, directly connected with the physical
development of the real property in the District, relocation benefits paid to or services provided for
aoaszi.�
14
�� � , 9'��3�-/
persons residing or businesses located in the District or amounts used to pay interest on, fund a
reserve for, or sell at a discount bonds issued pursuant to Section 469.178. Administrative expenses
also include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, and planning
or economic development consultants. Administrative expenses of the District will be paid from
tax increments; provided that no tax increment shall be used to pay any administrative expenses for
the Project which exceed ten percent of the total tax increment expenditures authorized by the tax
increment financing plan or the total tax increment expenditures for the Project,whichever is less.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176, Subd. 4h, tax increments may be used to
pay for the county's actual administrative expenses incurred in connection w7th the District. The
county may require payment of those expenses by February 15 of the year following the year the
expenses were incurred.
XV. Necessary Imnrovements in the District
No tax increment shall be paid to the Port Authority after three years from the date of
certification of the original net tax capacity by the County Auditor unless within the three-yeaz
period:
(1) bonds have been issued in aid of the Project pursuant to Section 469.178 of the TIF
Act or any other law, except revenue bonds issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.159 to 469.165;
(2) the Port Authority has acquired property within the District; or
(3) the Port Authority has constructed or caused to be constructed public improvements ��
within the District.
The bonds must be issued, or the Port Authority must acquire property or construct or cause
public improvements to be constructed by approximately October, 1999.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176, Subd. 6,
if, after four years from the date of certification of the original taY capacity of the tax
increment financing district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. Section 469.177, no
demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including
qualified improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service
including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax
increment financing district by the authoriry or by the owner of the parcel in accordance
with the taY increment financing plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that
parcel and the original tax capaciry of that parcel shall be excluded from the original tczY
capaciry of the tax increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel
aoasz i.i
15
, , � .� �� i���
subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation
on that parcel including improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with
the tax increment�nancing plan, the authoriry shall cert� to the counry auditor in the
annual disclosure report that the activity has commenced. The counry auditor shall certify
the tc�capacity thereof as most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it
to the original tax capacity of the tczx increment financing district. The county auditor must
enforce the provisions of this subdivision.. Far purposes of this subdivision, qualified
improvements are limited to (1) construction or opening of a new street, (2) relocation of a
street, and(3)substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street.
The Port Authority or a property owner must begin making improvements to parcels within
the District by approximately October,2000.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, Subd. 3, revenues derived from tax
increments are considered to have been spent on an activity within the District only if one of the
following occurs:
1. Before or within five years after cert�cation of the District, the revenues are
actually paid to a third party with respect to the activity;
2. Bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued and
sold to a third party before or within five years after certification of the District, the revenues are
spent to repay the Bonds, and the proceeds of the Bonds either are, on the date of issuance,
reasonably expected to be spent before the end of the latter of(i) the five year period, or (ii) a
reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term under Section 148(c)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code, or deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund; ��
3. Binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the activity

XIX. I1oca1 Contribution Requirement
For tax increment financing districts which request certification after June 30, 1994,
Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.1399, Subd. 6(d) provides that the Port Authority may be exempt
from local government aid or homestead and agricultural credit aid penalty if the Port Authority
and/or the City of Saint Paul makes a local contribution to the Project equal to five percent of the
tax increment. The Port Authority and the City elect to make the local contributions in lieu of the
state aid penalty. Five percent of the future value of the tax increments expected to be collected
from the District, including the HSS, is approximately $750,000. The City and the Port Authority
will make an upfront local contribution(rather than a yearly contribution) in the amounts identified
above in Section VII(C)(iii a. through d.) and (v). These amounts constitute a local contribution in
the amount of approximately $2,604,000. All components of the local contribution are expected to
be paid prior to December 31, 1999. Pursuant to Section 273.1399, Subd. 6(d)(2), if the Port
Authority of the City fails to make the required contribution for any year, the state aid reduction
will apply for that year. The sta.te aid reduction will be equal to the greater of(A)the required local
contribution (5% of tax increments collected that year) or (B) the amount of the aid reduction that
applies under Subdivision 3 of Section 273.1399.
XX. Fiscal DisFarities
The Port Authority and the City have elected to compute Fiscal Disparities contribution for
the District in accordance with Section 469.177, subdivision 3,pazagraph a.

Re: The Exemption from the TIF Aid Reduction for Municipalities Making
Local Contributions to Tas Increment Financing Districts
The Report of Local Contributions Made to TIF Districts in 199�
A municipality that makes a local contribution to a tax increment financing (TIF)
district may qualify for an exemption from the aid reduction that results from the
establishment of a TIF district. This new exemption is authorized by Laws 1995,
Chapter 264, Article 5, Section 6, which is an amendment of the TIF aid reduction
provisions under M.S. 273.1399, Subd. 6.
The new exemption has potential to apply only to:
1. New TIF districts and TIF district expansions where the tax increment plan was
approved before July 1, 1995 and where the request for certification of original
values and original local tax rates was submitted to the county auditor after June �
30, 1994. TIF districts and district expansions in this group potentially qualify for
the exemption if the governing body of the municipality elected, by resolution
adopted on or before December 31, 199�, to be covered by Laws 1995, Chapter
264, Article 5, Sections 4, 5, 6, and 48 (which include the new local contribution
provisions). _,
2. New TIF districts and TIF district expansions where the request for certification of
original values and original local tax rates was submitted to the county auditor
after June 30, 1995.
A municipality making qualifying local contributions under the new law must submit
a report to the Department of Revenue in order to receive an exemption from the TIF
aid reduction. The enclosed reporting form titled "Report of Local Contributions
Made to TIF Districts in 1995" is to be used in reporting the qualifying local
contributions your municipality made to one or more TIF districts in 1995. The
instructions for completing this report are also enclosed.

* The certification request date is the date that the municipaliry requested the county auditor to certify the original net tax
capaciry and the original local tax rate for the district. It is not the date that the municipaliry approved the tax increment
financin;plan or the date that the counry auditor actually certified the originai net tax capaciry and the original local tax
rate for the district. For a request that was mailed to the county auditor, it is the postmark date on the mailing envelope.
For a request that is hand delivered to the counry auditor, it is the delivery date. Because this date is critical in the
application of various tax increment financing law provisions, it should agree with the county auditor's records.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE
REPORT OF L�CAL CONTRIBUTIOI�TS MADE
TO TIF DISTRICTS IN 1995
The followzng is general information concerning the new exemption from the TIF aid reduction
for qualifying local cot�tributions made to certain TIF districts, plus instructions for completing
the enclosed "Report of Local Contributions Made to TIF Districts in 1995." This report should
be completed and returned to the Property Tax Division of the Departmenc of Revenue onl}' if
your municipality made qualifying local contributions to one or more TIF districts in 1995 (or if
contributions were obtained from other local units of government or direct state grants w�ere
received for a TIF project). This report must be returned to the Department of Revenue on
or before March 15, 1996 to ensure that your municipality recei�•es an exemption from the
TIF aid reduction for aids payable in 1997.
Note: For the purpose of these instructions, the term"municipalit}�" means cities.
counties, and those towns within the se��en county metropolitan area that are over
5,000 in population.
Possible Qualif}•ing TIF Districts
The new exemption has potential to apply onl�� to "ne��' TIF districts and TIF district expansions
where the request for certification of original values and original local tax rates �•as submitted to
the countv auditor after June 30, 1994. It does not apply to "older" TIF districts (those for��•hich
the request for certification ��•as made on or before June 30, 1994). The potentiall}• qualifj•ing
TIF districts break do«n into t�•o sub-groups, as follow•s:
• Ne���TIF districts and TIF district expansions where the tax increment plan was approved
before Jul�• l, 199� and where the request for certification of original values and original
local tax rates was submitted to the county auditor after June 30, 1994. TIF districts and
district expansions in this group potentially qualify for the exemption if the governing body
of the municipality elected, by resolution adopted on or before December 31, 1995, to be
covered b�� Law�s 1995, Chapter 264, Article 5, Sections 4, 5, 6, and 48 (which include the
new• local contribution pro��isions).
• Ne�ti• TIF districts and TIF district expansions vvhere the request for certification of original
values and original local tax rates was submitted to the counh� auditor after June 30, 1995.
Pro��ision for Local Contribution Included in the Original TIF Pla❑
ln order to qualif�� for the exemption from the TIF aid penalty �•ith respect to one or more of the
TIF districts described abo�•e. the municipalit�• must elect. at the time of appro��in� the TIF plan
for the district. for the municipalit�• or the authorit�� to make qualif��in� loca'. contributions to the
l
, 9"� --����
. local contribution could result in a TIF aid penalty in the next year. The appro��ed TIF plan
should spell out the intended schedule for the pa}�ment of qualifying local contributions.
If a local contribution exceeds the required percentage of tax increment, the excess is carried over
to the next year and applies to�•ards that year's required local contribution for the TIF district. It
is possible to make an"u fn ront"contribution that would carry over to two or more years. For
example, if a municipality made a local contribution to a TIF district of$100,000 in the first year
but the required local contribution in the first year was only $20,000, the excess $80,000 would
be carried over to one or more subsequent years until it is all used up in meeting the required
local contributions in one or more subsequent years. An "up front�' contribution should be spelled
out in the approved TIF plan. �
Notes: (1) An ethanol production facility (a subset of economic development district)
automatically qualifies for an exemption from the TIF aid reduction without a
local contribution. T'his automatic exemption ends beginning the ��ear
follow•ing the year after the total amount of increment for the district exceeds
either(a) $1,000.000 if the request for certification was made on or before June
30, 1994, or(b) $1.500,000 if the request for certification�•as made after June
30. 1994. However, the aid exemption for a post-June 30. 1994 ethanol district
could be continued if the municipality elected, at the time of approving the
TIF plan for the district, to make qualifi�ing local contributions to the district
after the automatic exemption is over. The yearly qualifying local contributions
would have to be at least 10% of the increment of the district for the year(the
percentage for an economic development district).
(2) A qualified housing district (N1.S. 273.1399, Subd. 1, paragraph (c))
automaticall}� qualifies for an exemption from the T'IF aid reduction «�ithout a
local contribution.
The 2°fo of Net Tax Capacity Limit
The new� la�v provides a limit on the required local contributions for municipalities. The limit is
2% of the municipalit��'s net tax capacity as that term is defined for local government aid
purposes under M.S. 477A.011, Subd. 20. When the required local contributions for a
municipality reach this limit, all of the qualifying TIF districts v�zthin the municipality are
exempt from the TIF aid reduction determination for aids payable in the next year. This broad
exernption applies even if some of the TIF districts do not receive a qualifi�ing local contribution
or some of them receive less than the required percentage of tax increment shown above. For
example, if a municipality reached its 2% of net tax capacity limit after contributing an amount
equal to 10% of the ta� increment for one economic development district and after contributing
an amount equal to 8% of the tax increment for another economic development district, it can
stop making local contributions in that vear and still qualif�� for full exemption from the TIF aid
reduction ��•ith respect to the two TIF districts for the follo�•ing aid payment �•ear.
For the purpose of determinino the 2% of net tax capacit�• limit for 1996. "net tax capacit��"
means the municipalit��'s assessment ��ear 199�. ta�es pa��able }•ear 1996 net tax capacit��

Local contributions must be spent within the same TIF district for which the�• are counted.

amounts reduce the municipality's own source contribution requirements 50� on the
dollar).

(2) The qualifying local contributions for 1995 are reported by the municipalit}•to the
Department of Revenue on or before March 15, 1996.
(3) The Department of Revenue certifies the 1996 tax increment amount, calendar year 1996
required local contribution amount, and preliminar�� 1997 TIF aid reduction for each eligible
TIF district by September 1 of 1996. The 2% of net tax capacity limit for the municipaliri� is

limit for 1996. The preliminary 1997 TIF aid reduction is wai�-ed for each eligible TIF
district for�•hich the required local contribution for 1996 is met by the sum of the
contributions made to it for 199� and 1996. The preliminary 1997 TIF aid reduction is
imposed for each eligible TIF district for which the required local contribution for 1996 is not
met by the sum of contributions made to it for 199� and 1996. If the sum of all local �
contributions for 199� and 1996 equal or exceed the municipalit}•'s 2%of net ta� capacity
limit, the preliminan• 1997 TIF aid reduction is wai��ed for all of the municipalit�•'s eligible
TIF districts. The LGA and/or HACA aids paid to the municipality in 1997 reflect these
determinations. � �
