Councilmember Bastian wished to state that he appreciated the work that Staff, the residents and the labor corrununities showed in this project. It is a good example that where there is a problem, people can sit down, look at it and come up with a good resolution that not only can help our cormiunity, but. can help other coTmnuni- ties that may face the same situation. In our seven county area we have unemploy- ment, we have people looking for work, and we are saying at best, we will assist that, but he thinks this is the best example where people can sit down and work together with government for a good resolution of a problem.

Mayor Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: 86 - 6 - 120 RESOLUTION AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 AND AMENDING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLANS RELATING TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1-1, HOUSING DISTRICT NO. 1-1 AND HOUSING DISTRICT NO. 1-2 44HEREAS: A. The City of Maplewood on October 28, 1985, created Develop- ment District No. 1 and adopted a development program with respect thereto and created Economic Development District No. 1-1, Housing District No. 1-1 and Housin Di r' - st ict No. 1 2 collectivel he t g ( Y. "Tax Increment Districts") within Development District No. 1 and adopted tax increment financing plans with respect thereto under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.71 to 273.78 and Chapter 472A (collectively, the "Act"); and B. The Council desires to amend the development program and the tax increment financing plans relating to Development District No. 1 and the Tax Increment Districts and has caused to be prepared a modified development program and tax increment financing plans. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD as follows: 1. Development Program. The modified developmenl_ program for Development District No. 1, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Manager, is adopted as the Development Program for Development District No. 1. 2. Tax Increment Financing Plans. The modified tax increment financing plans for the Tax Increment Districts, copies of which are on file in the office of the City Manager, is adopted as the tax increment financing plans for the Tax Increment Districts, and the City Council makes the following findings: a. Economic Development District No. 1-1 is an economic development district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.73, the specific basis for such determination being: Economic Development District 1-1 is being created so that the tax increments derived thexefs~Qm_can:_be used to fund the public improvements set forth in the development program which will stimulate addi- tional development in Development District No. 1, thereby creating new jobs and expanding the City's tax base. - 17 - 6/23 b. Housing District No. 1-1 and Housing District No. 1-2 are housing districts as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.73, the specific basis for such determination being: Housing District No. lrl and Housing District No. 1-2 each consist of rental housing projects. Not less than twenty percent of the rental units within both Housing District No. 1-1 and Housing District No. 1-2 will be rented to low and moder- ate income persons and families which are defined by federal law to be persons and families whose income does not exceed eighty percent of the median family income for the Saint Paul/Minneapolis, area. c. The proposed development in the opinion of the City Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. The reasons supporting this finding are that: The development activities within Development District No. 1 to be financed by tax increment finan- cing are not financeable using traditional methods of municipal financing. Private investment will not fi- nance these development activities because of prohibi- tive costs. It is necessary to finance these development activities through the use of tax increment financing so that other development by private enterprise will occur within Development District No. 1. d. The tax increment financing plans for the Tax Increment Districts conform to the general plan for development or redevel- opment of the City of Maplewood as a whole. The reasons for supporting this finding are that: (i) The Tax Increment Districts are properly zoned; (ii) The tax increment financing plans will generally compliment and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan. e.
