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.

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. The tax increment financing plans will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City of
Maplewood as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Development District No. 1 by private enterprise.
The reasons supporting this finding are that:
As previously stated the development activities,
consisting of public improvements, to be financed by
- 18 - 6/23
tax increment financing are necessary so that
additional commercial and housing development by
private enterprise can occur within Development
District No. 1.
3. Public Purpose. The development program for Development
District No. 1 and the adoption of the tax increment financing
plans for the Tax Increment Districts conform in all respects to
the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to develop
an area of the City which is already built up to provide employment
_ opportunities to improve the tax base, and to improve the general
economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose.
_ 4. Filing. The City Clerk is further authorized nd directed
to file a copy of the development program and tax increment finan-
cing plans for the Tax Increment Districts with the Commissioner
of Energy and Economic Development.
5. Administration. The administration of Development District
No. 1 is assigned to the City Manager who shall from time to time
be granted such powers and duties pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 472A.09 and 472A.10 as the City Council may deem appro-
priate.
