Preliminary Approval of 1999 Tax Increment Bond Issue Councilmember Koppen moved to adopt the following resolutions. 99-08-081 Resolution Authorizing Tax Increment Housing District #1-4 and #1-5 Reimbursements for Sanitary Sewer Improvements to Finance Debt Service on the 1999 Tax Increment Bonds WHEREAS, the development agreement for the Carefree Cottages Phase I and II provide that the developer be reimbursed for land acquisition and site improvements from tax increment revenues from Housing District #1-4 and #1-5. The agreement provides that the developer be reimbursed with the first 14.5 years of tax increments, the City will receive the next 10 years of tax increments, and the developer will receive the final half year of tax increments. The tax increments designated for the City are for reimbursement of sanitary sewer improvements directly related to the Carefree Cottages Phase I and IL These improvements were initially financed by the Sanitary Sewer Fund. The improvements involved slip lining a sanitary sewer main to decrease leakage into it and increase its capacity. Decreasing the leakage has caused a decrease in the flow through the sanitary sewer main and a corresponding decrease in sewage treatment costs. This will result in an approximate ten-year payback of the improvement costs by decreased treatment costs according to the City's engineering staff. Therefore, there is no need for the Sanitary Sewer Fund to keep the tax increment reimbursement of sanitary sewer improvement costs related to the Carefree Cottages Phase I and II. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the tax increments from Housing District #1-4 and #1-5 designated for reimbursement of sanitary sewer improvements are hereby re-designated for the Home Replacement Program. 99-08-082 Resolution Authorizing the Use of Excess Tax Increment Revenues from Housing District #1-6 to Finance Debt Service on the 1999 Tax Increment Bonds WHEREAS, the development agreement for the Carefree Cottages Phase III provides that the developer be reimbursed for land acquisition and site improvements from tax increment revenues from Housing District #1-6. The agreement provides that the developer be reimbursed with 90% of the tax increments for the first 15 years. This leaves tax increments available for other uses (10% of the tax increments for the first 15 years and 100% of the tax increments for the following 10 years). NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the tax increments from Housing District #1-6 are 8-23-99 11 hereby designated for the Home Replacement Program. 99-08-083 RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATED SALE OF $719,094 GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT BONDS SERIES 1999B (CAPITAL APPRECIATION BONDS) WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Maplewood (the "City"), has heretofore determined that it is necessary and expedient to issue its $719,094 General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1999B (Capital Appreciation Bonds) (the "Bonds") to finance a scattered site housing project within Development District No. 1 of the City; and WHEREAS, the City has retained Springsted Incorporated in Saint Paul, Minnesota ("Springsted'~, as its independent financial advisor and is therefore authorized to sell these obligations by a competitive negotiated sale in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.60, Subdivision 2(9); and NOW, THEREFOR, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota, as follows: 1.
