TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 5
A. ST/tTEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 is located
entirely Within the City's Development District No. 1, a
municipal development district created and established pursuant
to the Development Districts Act. The Development Program for
Development District No. 1, adopted by the City on April 1,
1985, and amended on January 27, 1986 and November 30, 1987, is
attached as Exhibit A to this TIF Plan. The objectives of the
Development District are set forth in the Development Program
and are hereby incorporated into this TIF Plan.
The City Council of the City of Elk River, Minnesota
determines that it is necessary, desirable, and in the public
interest to designate, establish, develop, and administer an
economic development tax increment financing district in the
City of Elk River pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 469.174 to 469.179 inclusive, of Minnesota Statutes.
The purpose of the TIF District is to acquire a development
site within the Elk River Industrial Park, to correct soil
conditions on this development site, and to make the site
available to an existing industrial employer in the City so
that this employer can relocate and expand its business in the
City of Elk River rather than moving its operations out of the
City.
The City of Elk River Industrial Park was initially
platted and the first phase developed by Elk River Associated
Investors in 1972, without any City assistance or
participation. By 1987, eight (8) businesses had located in
the Industrial Park, occupying eight (8) of sixteen (16) lots
available. However, there have been no sales of any lots, and
no new construction in the Industrial Park, for two (2) years.
Special assessments and real estate taxes on unsold lots were
in serious arrears until the creation of TIF District No. 5.
After careful review and analysis, the City determined
that in order for the Industrial Park to attract new businesses
to the City and the Industrial Park, and to pay existing taxes
and other obligations, it would be necessary for the City to
step in and assist in installing the necessary public
improvements to complete the development of Phase II of the
Industrial Park. An agreement was negotiated with Elk River
Associated Investors pursuant to which the City would install
the necessary public improvements to complete development of
the Industrial Park, and Elk River Associated Investors would
refund a portion of the proceeds from any sales of lots in
Phase II of the Industrial Park to the City and apply the
balance of any sale proceeds to pay outstanding special
assessments and taxes on unsold lots in the Industrial Park.
Alltool Company has been located in the Elk River
Industrial Park since 1982. This is a local business which has
grown from four employees to over one hundred twenty-five (125)
today. Alltool has outgrown its present facilities in Phase I
of the Industrial Park and can no longer expand at this
location. Alltool has, therefore, been looking at possible
o
relocation sites, including sites outside of the City of Elk
River. Alltool has advised the City that it will relocate to
Phase II of the Industrial Park if the City assists in the
acquisition of land for this purpose.
The purpose of the TIF District, therefore, is to acquire
and correct soil conditions on a development site in Phase II
of the Elk River Industrial Park for the relocation of Alltool.
This will allow Alltool to remain in and to expand in the City
of Elk River, resulting in increased employment in the City and
the preservation and enhancement of the City's tax base. The
cost of acquiring and correcting soil conditions on this
development site will be recaptured from tax increment
generated by the new Alltool facility to be constructed on the
site. Furthermore, the funds paid to Elk River Associated
Investors for purchase of the site will be applied, in part, to
the repayment of outstanding special assessments and taxes
against the Industrial Park.
The specific objectives of the TIF District are as
follows:
1. To provide financing for the acquisition of certain
property (specifically identified in Section C.2 below) located
within Phase II of the Elk River Industrial Park.
2. To provide financing for the correction of soil
conditions on the property identified in Section C.2 below.
3. To acquire and correct soil conditions on the
property identified in Section C.2 below for conveyance of the
property to Alltool Company, to be used by Alltgol for the
development of an eighty-five thousand (85,000) square foot
manufacturing facility employing up to one hundred seventy-five
(175) people.
4. To provide financing for additional public
improvements and other assistance necessary for the continued
development and expansion of the Elk River Industrial Park.
5. To provide financing for additional public
improvements within the Development District as found by the
City Council to be necessary or appropriate to meet the
purposes of the Development District.
6. To provide opportunities for the development of land
within the Development District;
7. To provide increased employment in the City;
8. To preserve and enhance the tax base of the City;
9. To provide maximum opportunity, consistent with the
needs of the City, for development by private enterprise.
B. CLASSIFICATION OF THE TIF DISTRICT
The TIF District will discourage commerce, industry, and
manufacturing from moving their operations to another state by
making sites available for those and other uses in the City, it
will result in increased employment in the City, and it will
result in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of
the City. The TIF District is located entirely within the
City's Development District No. 1, a development project
undertaken in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section
469.124, et seq. Therefore, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
~ 469.174, subd. 12, the TIF District qualifies as an economic
development tax increment financing district.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
1. Development Proqram for the Development District
The Development Program for the Development District is
attached to this TIF Plan as Exhibit A and is hereby
incorporated herein. The Development Program identifies the
boundaries of the Development District, identifies the
properties acquired within the Development District, and lists
the development expected to occur within the Development
District.
2. Property to be Included in the TIF District
The legal descriptions of the properties to be included
in the TIF District are as' follows:
Lot 1, 'Block 1, Elk River Industrial Park, Second
Addition
Lot 2, Block 1, Elk River Industrial Park, Second
Addition
Lot 3, Block 1, Elk River Industrial Park, Second
Addition
Lot 4, Block 1, Elk River Industrial Park, Second
Addition
Attached as Exhibits A-1 and A-2 are a map and survey showing
the exact location of the TIF District in the City of Elk
Kiver.
3. Property Acauired and to be Acquired
The Development Program identifies a one-acre site of
property acquired in the Development District for the
construction of a new water tower. This water tower site,
along with necessary permanent and temporary easements for
water main, is the only property acquired to date in the
o
Development District. A small amount of additional property,
along with necessary permanent and temporary easements, will be
acquired in the Development District for proposed water and
sanitary sewer improvements. The specific property to be
acquired has not yet been identified.
All of the property within the TIF District (identified
in Section C.2 above) will be acquired by the City and conveyed
to Alltool Company. Alltool Company has entered into an
Assessment Agreement for development of the property acquired
which provides recourse for the City if the Alltool development
is not completed.
4. Development to Occur Within the TIF District
Development within the TIF District will include the
correction of soil conditions and construction of the eighty-
five thousand (85,000) square foot Alltool manufacturing
facility and related out-buildings and other improvements.
5. Jobs to be Created
A primary objective of the Development Program and of
this TIF Plan is the creation of additional jobs in the City.
Development of the new Alltool facility will create
approximately fifty (50) temporary construction jobs and up to
fifty (50) permanent jobs in the new facility.
6. Future TIF Districts
It is the City's intent to create a number of tax
increment districts within the Development District as private
development occurs, in order to use the tax increment generated
by such development to finance or otherwise pay the cost of
selected public improvements and other development costs,
including the cost of water and sanitary sewer system
improvements.
D. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
1. Private Development Activity
Ail major development proposals for the Development
District which the City was aware of on'October 30, 1987, are
listed in Section I. of the amended Development Program for the
Development District. The City is not aware of any contracts
having been entered into at the time of the preparation of this
TIF Plan with respect to any of those private development
proposals, except as noted below.
Development Activity within the TIF District will include
the eighty-five thousand (85,000) square foot Alltool
manufacturing facility on the property identified in Section
C.2 above. It is estimated that the taxable assessed value of
this facility will be Eight Hundred Eight Thousand Dollars
($808,000). The Facility is expected to be substantially
completed in 1988, and to begin operations in early 1989. The
City is not aware of any contract having been entered into at
this time with respect to the Alltool facility. However, the
City will enter into a development agreement with respect to
the facility prior to the acquisition of property within the
TIF District.
2. Public Development Activities
Public improvements proposed for the Development District
are identified in the Development Program. Other public
improvements, including, but not limited to, soil correction,
grading, utilities, streets, curb and gutter, and sidewalks,
may also be installed in the Industrial Park or in other areas
of the Development District if determined by the City Council
to be necessary and appropriate to meet the purposes of the
Development Program. No contracts have been entered into at
this time with respect to these public development activities.
Public development activities within the TIF District
will be limited to the correction of existing deficient soil
conditions by the removal of bad soil (peat) and the
replacement of bad soils with compactible fill.
E. OTHER DEVELOPMENT
All major development proposals of which the City is
aware and which the City expects to take place within the
Development District are listed in Section I of the Development
Program. To the City's knowledge, this list identifies all
major development reasonably expected to take place within the
Development District and the dates when such development is
likely to occur.
No development other than that specifically identified in
Section D above is proposed for the TIF District.
F. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TIF DISTRICT
1. Preliminary Cost Estimates of the Improvements to be
Financed:
Property Acquisition $225,000
Correction of Soil Conditions 68,000
Administrative and legal 22,000
Capitalized interest 45~000
Total estimated costs $360~000
o
2. Amount of Indebtedness to be Incurred: $360,000
3. Sources of Revenue:
Incurred indebtedness 360~000
Total Revenue $360t000
4. griginal Assessed Value
The original assessed value of all taxable real property in
TIF District No. 5, based on assessed valuations established as
of January 1, 1988, for real estate taxes to be paid in 1989,
is estimated to be Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000). The
proposed County Auditor certification to this value is attached
as Exhibit B to this Document.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 469.177, subd. 1 of the TIF Act,
it is estimated that the annual percentage increase in the
original assessed valuation of the property in the TIF District
will be three percent. The original assessed value for TIF
District No. 5 can therefore be estimated for the term of the
TIF District as follows:
Levy Year 1988 $15,000
Levy Year 1989 15,450
Levy Year 1990 15,914
Levy Year 1991 16,391
Levy Year 1992 16,883
Levy Year 1993 17,389
Levy Year 1994 17,911
Levy Year 1995 18,448
Levy Year 1996 19,002
5. Captured Assessed Value
Each year the assessed value of the TIF District will be
adjusted to reflect current valuation changes resulting from
development within the TIF District. The estimated value upon
completion of development and the estimated date of completion
are set forth in Section D.1 of this TIF Plan. Using these
figures for estimated value at completion and proposed date of
completion, and the figures for original assessed value set
forth in Section F.4 above, the estimated captured assessed
value of TIF District No. 5 during the years 1988 through 1997
can be calculated as follows:
Estimated Original
Assessed Assessed
Value Value
Estimated Captured
Assessed Value
Levy Year 1988 $ 15,000 $15,000 $ 0
Levy Year 1989 400,000 15,450 384,550
Levy Year 1990 808,000 15,914 792,087
Levy Year 1991 808,000 16,391 791,609
Levy Year 1992 808,000 16,883 791,117
Levy Year 1993 808,000 17,389 790,611
Levy Year 1994 808,000 17,911 790,089
Levy Year 1995 808,000 18,448 789,552
Levy Year 1996 808,000 19,002 788,998
Ail of the captured assessed value will be required to finance
the acquisition of and correction of soil conditions on the
property within the TIF District for conveyance to Alltool, and
to finance public improvements necessary to permit additional
development in the Development District. Therefore, the City
10.
elects, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 469.177, subd. 2(a)(1), to
retain the full captured assessed value of the TIF District and
to use all of the tax increment generated by the TIF District
for the purposes identified in this TIF Plan.
6. Duration of the TIF District
In accordance with § 469.176, subd. 1 of the TIF Act, the
City, with this economic development TIF District, may continue
to receive tax increment payments until eight years from the
date of the receipt of the first increment, or until ten years
from approval of the TIF Plan, whichever is less.
The City approved the TIF Plan on June 20, 1988, and will
approve the amended TIF Plan on October ~., 1988. Therefore,
one defined termination date after which tax increment income
cannot be received is June 20, 1998.
The City will request the County Auditor to distribute
all taxes payable in 1989, from the TIF District to all taxing
jurisdictions and to make no distribution of tax increment to
the City for taxes payable in 1989 from the TIF District. The
first tax increment from the TIF District to be received by the
City will be received for taxes payable in 1990. Tax increment
will continue to be received by the City for eight full years,
to and including 1997, at which time no further increments may
be received by law and the TIF District will terminate.
G. CASH FLOW ANAL¥SIS
Attached as Exhibit C to this TIF Plan is the Cash Flow
Analysis for TIF District No. 5.
11.
The cash flow analysis attached as Exhibit C to this plan
includes an estimate of the amounts of additional revenues
which may be needed to meet the debt service on the proposed
indebtedness.
ESTIMATED IMPACT OF THE TIF DISTRICT ON OTHER TAXING
JURISDICTIONS
1. Estimated Impact of the TIF District on Assessed
Values of Other Taxinq Jurisdictions Assuminq that the
Estimated Captured Assessed Value Would be Available
to Other Taxing Jurisdictions Without Creation of TIF
District No. 5.
Pursuant to Minnesota law, tax increment generated by
development within the TIF District may only be captured by the
City for a period of eight years. During this eight-year
period other taxing jurisdictions will continue to receive
taxes from the property within the TIF District based on the
current assessed value (or "original assessed value") of the
property, just as if no development had occurred on the
property. In fact, state law requires the County Auditor to
increase the original assessed value of the property in the TIF
District (the value available to other jurisdictions for
taxation) by, in this instance, 3% per year to account for
normal inflation.
Attached as Exhibit D to this TIF Plan is a schedule which
shows the impact of the TIF District on the assessed values of
other taxing jurisdictions assuming that the estimated captured
assessed value would be available to the other taxing
jurisdictions without creation of the TIF District. This
schedule shows the estimated total assessed value for each
jurisdiction for each year of the TIF District (assuming that
12.
total assessed value increases at the same three percent (3%)
per year rate as the original assessed value of the TIF
District), the estimated captured assessed value for each year
of the TIF District, and the percentage impact of the estimated
captured assessed value on the estimated total assessed value.
2. Estimated Impact of the TIF District on Assessed
Values of Other Taxinq Jurisdictions Assuminq That
None of the Captured Assessed Value Would be Available
to Other Taxinq Jurisdictions Without Creation of TIF
District No. 5.
The City Council of the City of Elk River has made a
determination that the Alltool project would not reasonably be
expected to occur without creation of TIF District No. 5 and
the use of tax increment financing. Therefore, none of the
assessed value captured for the eight (8) years of the TIF
District would be available to other taxing jurisdictions
without the creation of TIF District No. 5. Therefore, there
is no negative impact on the assessed values of other taxing
jurisdictions during the term of the TIF District, particularly
in light of the fact that the original assessed value of the
properties in the TIF District will increase by three percent
(3%) per year.
There will be a substantial favorable impact on other
taxing jurisdictions once the eight (8) year tax increment
district expires. The Alltool facility made possible by
creation of the TIF District will contribute significantly to
the tax base of all taxing jurisdictions, including the County
and School Board.
13.
More important is the negative impact on all taxing
jurisdictions if the TIF District is not created and the
Alltool facility not constructed. This would mean the
relocation of Alltool outside of the City of Elk River. The
abandonment of their existing facility would mean a loss of
this tax base for all taxing jurisdictions.
I. STUDIES AND ANALYSIS USED TO DETERMINE THE NEED FOR TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING
The City Council's determination that the Alltool project
cannot reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future, and that
therefore the use of tax increment financing is necessary, has
been made after careful consideration and analysis of
communications received from and discussions had with the
owners of Alltool. Through these communications and
discussions it has been determined that the Alltool project
will not proceed solely with private investment and that public
participation in the form of tax increment financing is
necessary in order for the project to occur and the objectives
of the development program and the TIF plan to be met.
J. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1
A. STASVJTORY AUTHORIT~
The statutory authority empowering the City to establish
the Development District in April, 1985 was Minn. Stat.
Chapter 472A, the Minnesota Municipal Development Districts
Act. In 1987, the Development. Districts Act was recodified as
Minn. Stat. S 469.124, et sec. This Development Program has
been prepared and amended in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Development Districts Act.
B. STATEMENT OF PUBLIC PURPOSE
The City Council of the City of Elk River, Minnesota,
dete-~mines that it is necessary, desirable, and in the public
i~terest to designate, establish, develop, an~ administer a
Development District in the City of Elk River pursuant to the
Development Districts Act. The purpose of the Development
District is to provide a means for financing public
improvements and facilities necessary if the City is to attract
additional commercial and industrial development and increase
employment opportunities in those areas of the City designated
for these uses.
The City Council finds that there is a demand wi%bin the
City for increased commercial development and that the
Development District includes most of the areas in the City
designated for business and industrial development. However,
extensive business and industrial development in many o: the=-
areas is not possible absent the installation of certain public
facilities, including improved water and sanitary sewer
service, additional streets and roads, and others. The high
cost of constructing such faci!ities cannot be me~, ....
additional business and industrial development is ~herefore no~
possible, without public intervention. Therefore, the
Development District is created by the City to make public
intervention and assistance possible, construction of the
required public facilities possible, and to encourage
development of designated business and industrial areas of the
City.
C. BOUNDARIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
The geographic boundaries of Development ~istrict No. 1 are
set forth on the map attached as Exhibit A to this Development
Program. ..
These boundaries have been selected to include those areas
of the City which:
1) Are zoned and planned for business and industrial
development but require that certain public improvements be
installed to make such development possible;
2) Will have water and sanitary sewer service made
available by the proposed water and sanitary sewer
improvements, therefore making development possible;
3) Have existing water and sanitary sewer service which
will be improved by the proposed water and sanitary sewer
improvements.
o
D. LAND USE IN THE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
1. Present Land Use
The Development District includes most of the developed
areas of the City. Present land uses include the central
business area of the City; urban and semi-urban residential
uses; free-standing highway and general business uses;
industrial uses; recreational uses; and educazlonal uses. The
Deve!opmenu District also includes most of the undeveloped
areas of the City designated for business and industrial uses,
and several undeveloped areas planned for residential uses.
Present land use of these areas is primarily interim
agriculuura! and under-utilized open space.
2. Future Land Use
o
The purpose of the Development District is to encourage
increased business and industrial development in those areas of
the City designated for these uses. Creation of the
Deve!ooment District in 1985 and establishment of Tax Increment
Financing Districts 1 and 3 made possible the installation of
certain water system improvements which resulted in exzensive
commercial development at the intersection of Highway 169 and
School Street; and made oossib!e the en!argemen~ of the City
industrial park tocaued au County Road 1 and Indus~ria!
Boulevard. It is anticipated that installation of the public
improvements contemplated in and made possible by this
Developmen~ program will make possible ~uture land uses within
the Development District including increased business and
indusurial uses in the industrial park, in the wesuern end of
..
the City, and in several other areas of the City designated for
these uses. It is also anticipated tha~ these public
improvements will make residential development possible in
those areas'of the Dev~iopment District planned for residen%ia!
USeS . .,
E. STATEPLENT OF OBJECTIVES
The City Counc:l of the City of Elk River seeks to achieve
the following objectives through the creation of the
Development District and the implementation of this DeveloDmen~
Pro,ram:
1) Provide impetus for business and industrial
development by constructing the public facilities necessary to
make such development possible;
2) Increase employment opportunities in the City by
encouraging additional business and industrial development;
3) Provide adequately serviced business and industrial
areas of the City to accommodate desirable users;
4) Remedy deficiencies in the existing water and
sanitary sewer systems, which deficiencies have restricted
development in areas of the City planned and designated for
business and industrial uses;
5) Preserve and enhance the tax base of the City;. and
6) Provide maximum opportunity, consistent with the
needs of the City, for development by private enterprise.
F. PUBLIC FACILITIES TO BE CONSTRUCTED
1. 1985 Water Tower and Watermain Improvements
The City's Comprehensive Water Plan, dated September. 1982,
identified a severe deficiency in the storage capacity of :he
exis%inc wa~er system.. The Wa~=--_. Plan _~eco,-u~ended construction
of a 1,000,000-gal!on reservoir to eliminate this deficiency.
The reco~r~ended Water Tower and related Watermain Improvements
were comD!eted :n 1986 Approximately one acre of land was
accuired for the Water Tower, and permanent easements were
actuated :
. - ~o, wa%ermain purposes There was no displacement
or reiocaticn reguired by any persons or business== as a result
of these accuis~tions.
2. Proposed Water System ImProvements
It is proposed to extend water service to the western
portion of the City to encourage appropriate commercial and
industrial development in this area of the City. Water System
Improvements would include a new deep well, a new elevated
tower, a pumphouse with chemical addition and treatment
equipment, and trunk distribution lines· A site for the well,
tower, and pumphouse has not been identified a~ this time. The
proposed location of the trunk distribution lines is shown on
Exhibit B to this Development Program.
Construction of the proposed Water System Improvements will
require the acqu{s{tion o~ a sma~! amoun~ of proper~y for the
we!l, tower, and pumphouse; and easements for water
distribution lines. It is not anticipated that there will be
any displacement of or re'location required by any persons or
businesses as a result of these acquisitions·
3. Proposed Sanitary Sewer System imDrbvements
It is also proposed to ex%end sanitary sewer service to the
r.~ . o
weste portion of the City, %o encourage appropr
com.~ercla! 'and indust ial development {n th{s area o~ %he City.
Sanitary. Sewer System Improvements would include 6pqradin~ an
existing lift station and constructing a sanitary sewer
interceptor line. The location of the lift station to be
up~raded, and the proposed location of the sanitary sewer
interceptor, are shown on Exhibit B to this Development
Program.
Construction of the proposed SanitAry Sewer Improvements
will require the acquisition of some easements for the
interceptor. It is not anticipated tha~ ~here will be any
displacement of or relocation required by any persons or
businesses as a result of the construction of the Sanitary
Sewer Improvements.
4. Additional Public Improvement Projects
Additional Public Improvement Projects scheduled in the
Development District are identified in the City's Capital
Improvements Plan Schedule, as amended from time to time. It
is not anticipated that any of the currently planned Public
Improvement Projects will require the acquisition of any
property or the displacement or relocation of any persons or
businesses.
5. Unscheduled Public Improvements
Upon a demonstration of need and public financial
feasibility, the City will extend streets and utilities and
construct or install such other public facilities and
improvements within the Development District as the City
Council deems n~cessary or appropriate to meet tke purposes of
this Development ProGram.
6. Evans Park Pub1;~ ~mDrovements
The ins~a!!a~ion of utilities, the construct!on of parking
facilities, landscaping, curb and gu~ter, sidewalks, and the
payment of sewer and.water availability charges for the Evans
Park Pro~ect.
G. OPEN SPACE CREATED
The Deve!ooment Program ~or the Deve!oDmez~ Distric~ does
not presennly propose the creation of addi~iona! sub!ic open
space. However, existing public open space in Lions Park is
being developed for public recreational uses. 5t is also
possible that ~he Development Procram will be amended in the
fusure to provide for the creation and/or deve!opmen% o
additional public open space.
In addition, the City inten~s in carrying out the
objectives of this development program to encourage the
preservation and beautification of open spaces on ~riva~e
property developed within the Development District.
H. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
A~!~ deve!oDment, within the Development_ . District wz~_''~ be
subject to existing environmental controls es%ab!ished by state
and federal law and the Elk River Code of Ordinances,

property within the Development District include:
1. Sherburne County Courthouse
Although a public rather than a private proposal, a major
user of the proposed Wa~er and Sanitary Sewer System
Improvements will be the Sherburne County Courthouse complex,
which is currently undergoing substantial expansion, scheduled
to be completed in 1988.
2. Elk River Industrial Park
Enlargemen~ of the ,1K River I. ndustria! Park has jus~ been
completed. The City expects to receive in 1987 a proposal to
develop two lots in the Industrial Park for ~ new industry in
the City. The proposal would include about 40,000-square feet
of industrial space with potential to expand to approximately
75,000-square feet. Estimated comp!etlon date is 1988.

THE CIT~ COUNCIL
FOR THE
CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 88-~7
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 5, ESTABLISHING TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 5, AND DIRECTING CITY STAFF TO
IF, PLEMENT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 5.
The City Council for the City of Elk River (the City)
acting pursuant to its authority under the Minnesota Tax
Increment Financing Act (Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174,
et fu~q~) hereby finds, determines, and resolves as follows:
1. That City of Elk River Development District No. 1 was
designated as a municipal development district pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 472A and that the Development
Program for Development District No. 1 was approved by
resolution of the City Council for the City of Elk River dated
April 1, 1985, and amended by resolutions of the City Council
of the City of Elk River dated January 27, 1986, and November
30, 1987.
2. That the Development Program for Development District
No. 1 anticipates and provides for the adoption of Tax
Increment Financing Plans and the establishment of Tax
Increment Financing Districts to assist in the financing of the
public improvements and other public costs necessary to attract
and retain new development in the Development District.
3. That implementation of Development District No. 1 and
construction of required water service facilities and other
public improvements through tax increment financing has
attracted new commercial and industrial development to the
Development District.
4. That there is a demand within the city for further
business and industrial development.
5. That additional business and industrial development
in many areas of the City designated for business and
industrial use is not possible absent city assistance in
addition to the installation of certain public improvements.
6. That the high cost of constructing required public
improvements and facilities, and providing other forms of
assistance for new development, cannot be met, and additional
business and industrial development is therefore not possible,
without public intervention.
7. That it is therefore necessary, desirable, and in the
public interest to designate, establish, develop, and
administer an additional economic development Tax Increment
Financing District in the City pursuant to the Minnesota Tax
Increment Financing Act.
8. That the purpose of the Tax Increment Financing
District will be to acquire a development site in Phase II of
the Elk River Industrial Park for the relocation of Alltool
Company, thus enabling Alltool to remain in and to expand in
the State of Minnesota and the City of Elk River, and to
provide a means for financing additional public improvements if
the City is to attract additional business and industrial
development and increase employment opportunities in those
areas of the City designated for these uses.
9.. That a proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF
Plan) has been prepared by City staff and consultants which
proposes designating a portion of Development District No. 1 as
an economic development Tax Increment Financing District to be
known as Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (TIF District
No. 5).
10. That TIF District No. 5 is an economic development
Tax Increment District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, subdivision 12.
(a)
TIF District No. 5 is located wholly within the
City's Development District No. 1.
(b)
Development District No. 1 has been duly created and
the Development Program for Development District No.
1 duly adopted by the City Council pursuant to the
provisions of Minnesota Statutes.
(c)
The creation of Development District No. 1 and TIF
District No. 5 is in the public interest because:
(i)
It will discourage commerce, industry, and
manufacturing from moving their operations
to another state;
(ii)
It will result in increased employment in
the City;
(iii)
It will result in preservation and
enhancement of the tax base of the City.
11. That the proposed relocation of Alltool within the
City of Elk River and TIF District No. 5, in the opinion of the
City Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable
fUture and therefore the use of tax increment financing is
necessary.
12. That creation of TIF District No. 5 and capture of
the tax increment generated by the Alltool development in the
district is the only available means of financing the land
acquisition costs necessary to allow Alltool to relocate within
the City and Development District No. 1.
13. That the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 5 is
consistent with and conforms to the comprehensive plan for the
development of the City as a whole and to the City's adopted
land use plan.
1~. That the Planning Commission for the City of Elk
River has been consulted with respect to the TIF Plan and that
the TIF Plan conforms to the City's comprehensive and land use
plans. That the TIF Plan does not conflict with any other
known private proposals or other public projects.
15. That the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for
development by private enterprise.
16. That the TIF Plan adequately and accurately sets
forth the goals, objectives, and other details regarding TIF
District No. 5.
17. That the TIF Plan has been transmitted by the City to
the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners and to the School
Board for Independent School District No. 728.
18. That the City has presented to the County Board and
the School Board the City's estimate of the fiscal and economic
implications of TIF District No. 5 and has offered to meet with
the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners and the School
Board.
19. That notice of a public hearing on the TIF Plan and
on establishment of TIF District No. 5 has been published in
the official newspaper of the City, as required by the
Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act ....
20· That a public hearing on the TIF Plan and on ~
establishment of TIF'District No. 5 was held before the City
Council on June 20, 1988, and that an opportunity to be heard
was granted at that time to all residents of the CiTy and all
other interested persons.
A. That the City Council of the City of Elk River hereby
adopts each and every one of the findings set forth above.
B. That the City Council of the City of Elk River hereby
approves and adopts the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 5.
