RESOLUTION 12-10-801
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TERMS OF UP TO A
$500,000 INTERFUND LOAN IN CONNECTION WITH
A PROPOSED TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Maplewood,
Minnesota (the "City"), as follows:
Background.
The City proposes to establish a Tax Increment Financing District (the "TIF District") within
Development District No. 1, and proposes to adopt a tax increment financing plan for the TIF
District (the "TIF Plan").
The City has determined to pay for certain costs identified in the TIF Plan consisting of
land/building acquisition, public utilities, site improvements/preparation, other eligible
improvements, and administrative costs (the "Qualified Costs") incurred in connection with the
establishment of the TIF District and development/redevelopment of land within the TIF District,
which costs will be financed on a temporary basis from City funds available for such purposes.
October 22, 2012
City Council Meeting Minutes
6
Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, the City is authorized to advance or loan
money from the City's general fund or any other fund from which such advances may be legally
made, in order to finance the Qualified Costs.
The City intends to reimburse itself for the payment of the Qualified Costs, plus interest thereon,
from tax increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terms of this resolution
(which terms are referred to collectively as the "Interfund Loan").
Terms of Interfund Loan.
The City hereby authorizes the advance of up to $500,000 from the City's General Fund or so
much thereof as may be paid as Qualified Costs. The City shall reimburse itself for such
advances together with interest at the rate stated below. Interest accrues on the principal amount
from the date of each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited
to the greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09
as of the date the loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the
maximum interest rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 4%
and will not fluctuate.
Principal and interest on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semi-annually on each February 1 and
August 1 (each a "Payment Date") commencing with the Payment Date on which the City has
Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other dates determined by the City Manager,
through the last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District.
Payments on the Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax Increments" which shall
mean, on each Payment Date, all of the tax increment available after other obligations have been
paid, generated in the preceding six (6) months with respect to the property within the TIF District
and remitted to the City by Ramsey County, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174 to 469.1799. Payments on the Interfund Loan are subordinate to any outstanding or
future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment, and are
on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in whole or in part with
Available Tax Increment.
The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under the Interfund Loan are pre-payable in
whole or in part at any time by the City without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall
affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under
this Interfund Loan.
The Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the City in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available Tax
Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. The Interfund Loan and the
interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or
any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the City. Neither the State of
Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or
interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax
Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or
any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto. The City shall have no obligation to pay any
principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid
after the final Payment Date.
