8.0. EDSR 09-11-1995 ITEM 8. ELK RIVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY • MEMORANDUM TO: Economic Development Authority FROM: William Rubin, Executive Directo DATE: September 11, 1995 SUBJECT: EDA Public Hearing on Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 (TL Feeding Systems,Inc. Expansion Project) Introduction At its August 8 meeting, the Elk River EDA authorized a public hearing for September 11, 1995,to consider a tax increment financing plan for Tax Increment District No. 13. 111 Background The Request for Assistance The request for tax increment financing assistance comes from TL Feeding Systems, Inc., 8720 Wyoming Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. TL Feeding Systems designs and manufactures vibratory and centrifugal feeding equipment and systems that orient various products for assembling and packaging. The company currently occupies leased space and it desires a more permanent office and production facility to ensure continued growth. TL Feeding Systems is proposing to construct a 15,000 square foot office and manufacturing facility that will be located on a 3.0 acre plus/minus lot along Business Center Drive in the Elk River Business Center (Business Park). The project's finished market value (land and building) is estimated at $625,000. The company currently employs ten persons and they will be retained as part of the Elk River expansion project. TL Feeding Systems seeks $150,000 in tax increment financing assistance to support its proposed facility. Tax increment funds would be used to "write down" the cost of the land, and for general site development and site • preparation costs associated with this project. At this writing, a "pay-as-you- P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330-1743 • (612)441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 Equal Opportunity Housing and Equal Opportunity Employment TIF District No. 13 Page 2 September 11, 1995 go" TIF package has been proposed to TL Feeding. Under this option, TL • Feeding Systems would absorb the cost of the site acquisition and site preparation. As the new facility begins generating taxes, the city rebates the new property taxes (i.e. the tax increment) back to TL Feeding Systems twice a year -- in July and in December. The pay-as-you-go package is virtually the same concept as the TIF request approved for the Mowry/Neos project in June. State Aid/HACA Reduction As with the Neos TIF Plan, a consequence of creating a new TIF District is that of a state aid/HACA reduction. Because an "Economic Development TIF District" would be created for TL Feeding Systems, the state aid/HACA reduction occurs the first year an increment is generated, and, the reduction is the most significant (i.e. 100 percent of the calculated formula). A recent legislative change enables cities/EDA's to opt out of the reduction by making a "qualifying local contribution" of 10 percent of the tax increment generated from an Economic Development District. The contribution must come from unrestricted monies of the municipality or the tax increment authority. The cap on the total of these contributions is 2 percent of the city's net tax capacity. Considering the alternatives, the following calculations are • offered: State Aid/HACA Reduction Captured net tax capacity of the TL Feeding Systems project of $26,212 times the 1995 tax capacity rate of 1.04247 equals $27,325 times 35 percent equals a local government aid reduction of approximately $9,564 per year. It is estimated that the TL TIF District would generate tax increment payments for a period of six years (from 1998 through 2003, inclusive) in order to repay the $150,000 TIF grant. Therefore, the estimated local government aid reduction is calculated as follows: $9,564 per year times six years equals $57,384. Qualifying Local Contribution From Exhibit D in the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 13, it is noted that the captured tax increment of$27,266 begins in 1998 and continues through 2003. By calculating 10 percent of the estimated captured tax • TIF District No. 13 Page 3 September 11; 1995 increment from each of the years, the following estimate of the • "qualifying local contribution" is offered: $2,727 (in 1998) plus $2,724 (in 1999) plus $2,720 (in 2000) plus $2,717 (in 2001) plus$2,714 (in 2002) plus $2,710 (in 2003) equals a qualifying local contribution of$16,312. TL Feeding System's tax increment grant would be reduced by $16,312 over the life of District No. 13. The Land Value Dilemma Under a pay-as-you-go TIF grant, the company/developer incurs the cost of the land acquisition and site development/site preparation costs. As the project begins generating property taxes, the company/developer is reimbursed for the up front costs over a period of years. During the initial discussions with TL Feeding Systems, it was suggested that the company program in $1.00 per square foot for a 3 acre site. This brings the acquisition price to nearly $135,000. Country Ridge Partnership recently sold all of its Business Park holdings to DMV Mall Corporation. According to a Certificate of Real • Estate Value, DMV paid in excess of$782,000 for approximately 37.5 acres of land. DMV has listed its property with a real estate broker. The quoted price of the Business Park property (for industrial users)is $1.85 per square foot. The writer of this memo has reason to believe that this price is not reflective of the Elk River market value for industrial properties. This is further supported by an EDA-authorized appraisal analysis that was accepted by the EDA in June of 1994. Utilizing a matrix of factors, the appraisal concluded that business park property in Elk River should command, on the average, .90G per square foot. Sites along a frontage road would no doubt command a higher price than internal sites. However, a great disparity exists between the quoted price from the real estate broker and the EDA's expectations. Since the EDA is not asked to acquire the property on behalf of TL Feeding Systems, the EDA would expect TL Feeding Systems to negotiate a price that is reflective of reasonable market values. Should this not occur, the EDA simply does not have a TIF project. In addition, as the acquisition price changes, the TIF budget and cash flow analysis changes, too. ID TIF District No. 13 Page 4 September 11, 1995 • TIF Review and Notices Since the August 8 meeting, the writer of this memo has completed the review process necessary to honor the TL Feeding Systems request for tax increment financing assistance. This process has included the distribution of the TIF Plans to the School District and County Board, presentation to the County Board, presentation to the School Board, Planning Commission review of the TIF Plan, and the TIF hearing notices published in the Star News. Lastly, the City Council will conduct its public hearing on the TIF request on September 11, 1995. Action Requested After conducting the public hearing on the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 13, the EDA is asked to adopt the attached resolution. • • • DRAFT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 13 • CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 • • TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 13 SUMMARY TL Feeding Systems, Inc., 8720 Wyoming Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, MN seeks $150,000 in Tax Increment Financing assistance to support its proposed construction of a 15,000 square foot office and production facility on a three(3) acre lot in Country Crossing Business Center(Business Park). TL Feeding Systems designs and manufacturers vibratory and centrifugal feeding equipment and systems that orient various products for assembly and packaging. The company currently occupies leased space and it desires a more permanent office and production facility to ensure continued growth. The Economic Development Authority for the City of Elk River, Minnesota is proposing the creation of an Economic Development District pursuant to the Tax Increment Financing Act. Tax increment funds will be used to `write down"the acquisition price of the development site. Additional tax increment funds will be used for site preparation and site development costs. The expansion site is currently an unplatted parcel owned by DVM Mall Corp.. The Economic Development Authority for the City of Elk River proposes to reimburse TL Feeding Systems for its expense associated with the acquisition of the 3 acre Business Park site under a pay-as-you-go Tax Increment Financing District. 411 The 15,000 square foot facility will have t finished market value estimated at$625,000 which produces property taxes of approximately$28,300 per year. These funds will be "captured"by the Economic Development Authority so that the City of Elk River can recover the $150,000 in tax increment assistance. After these funds have been repaid, Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 will be decertified, thereby enabling all local taxing jurisdictions(county, school, city, etc.)to share in the project's property taxes. The Economic Development Authority for the City of Elk River, Minnesota anticipates that Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 will exist for approximately eight (8)years; during which times tax increment funds will be collected for six(6)years. s:\eda\documentlifno13.doc • • TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 13 A.

The purpose of the Tax Increment Financing Plan and Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 is to encourage the expansion of a manufacturing company in • the Business Park, thereby increasing local employment opportunities IP and preserving and enhancing the local tax base of the State of Minnesota. C. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 1. Overview TL Feeding Systems, Inc., 8720 Wyoming Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, seeks Tax Increment Financing assistance to support its proposed construction of a 15,000 square foot facility in the Country Crossing Business Center (Business Park). The Tax Increment funds will be used to reimburse TL Feeding Systems for the acquisition of the development site. In addition, funds will be used for site preparation and site development costs. 2. Property Included in Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 The legal description of the property included in TIF District No. 13 is as follows: Lot X, Block X, Country Crossing Business Center (part of PID No. 75-575-0020) Attached as Exhibits B-1 and B-2 are maps showing the exact location of the property included in Tax Increment Financing District No. 13. 3. Property to be Acquired by the Authority No property will be acquired by the Authority. D. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES 1.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 13 1. Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 Cost Estimates Budget Amount Land Write Down $135,000 Site Survey Site Preparation $ 15,000 DRAFT Soil Borings and Analysis Administration • Legal $ 2,500 Cost of Issuance Fees Bond Discount Capitalized Interest Miscellaneous $ 2,500 Total $155,000 2. Bonded Indebtedness The City of Elk River anticipates a pay-as-you-go Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 and no bonds will be issued. 3. Sources of Revenue to Pay Public Costs Tax Increments collected from the TL Feeding Systems, expansion will be used to pay the public costs associated with Tax Increment Financing District No. 13. 4. Original Tax Capacity The original net tax capacity, based on the 1994 valuation, for the real property in Tax Increment District No. 13 is estimated to be $938. The County Auditor Certification attributable to • this value is attached as Exhibit C. • 5. Estimated Captured Tax Capacity The finished market value upon completion of the improvements in Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 is estimated at $625,000. This value translates into a completed net tax capacity estimated at $27,150. The captured net tax capacity is estimated as follows: Completed Net Tax Capacity $27,150 Less Original Net Tax Capacity 938 Equals Captured Net Tax Capacity $26,212 One hundred percent of the captured net tax capacity of Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 will be required to finance the public costs associated with District No. 13. As a result, the City of Elk River elects, pursuant to Minnesota Statute 469.177 Subdivision 2 (a)(1), to retain the full captured net tax capacity of Tax Increment Financing District No. 13. 6. Duration of the Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 The City of Elk River expects that the first increment it will receive from Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 will be for taxes payable in 1998, and will be based on a completed value as of January 2, 1997. The City expects to continue to receive tax increment from Tax Increment District No. 13 up to and including the year 2003, or until $155,000 in tax increment has been received. Thereafter, no further increments may be received and Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 will terminate. F. CASH FLOW ANALYSIS Attached as Exhibit D is the Cash Flow Analysis for Tax Increment Financing District No. 13. G. IMPACT ON OTHER LOCAL TAXING JURISDICTIONS 1. Estimated Impact of District No. 13 on the Taxing Jurisdictions Assuming the Captured Net Tax Capacity is Available to the Taxing Jurisdictions Without Creation of District No. 13: Pursuant to Minnesota law, tax increment generated by development within the Tax Increment Financing District may be captured by the City for a period of up to nine years. During this period other taxing jurisdictions will continue to receive taxes from the property within the Tax Increment Financing District based on the current net tax capacity. • • 2. Estimated Impact of District No. 13 on the Taxing Jurisdictions Assuming None of the Captured Net Tax Capacity is Available to Taxing Jurisdictions Without Creation of District No. 13: The City of Elk River and its Economic Development Authority have determined that the TL Feeding Systems, Inc., project would not reasonably be expected to occur without the creation of TIF District No. 13 and the use of tax increment financing is necessary. Therefore, none of the net tax capacity captured during the term of this TIF District would be available to other taxing jurisdictions without the creation of this district. 3. Additional information on the impact of Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 on the other local taxing jurisdictions can be found in Exhibit E. H. STUDIES AND ANALYSIS USED TO DETERMINE THE NEED FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING The Elk River City Council and EDA have determined that the TL Feeding Systems, Inc., expansion project cannot reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of Tax Increment Financing assistance is deemed necessary. • This determination has been made based on the following: • The company currently occupies leased space at 8720 Wyoming Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota and this expansion into a permanent facility is its first. Tax increment assistance is needed to reduce the overall project costs - thereby preserving scarce capital to ensure that TL Feeding Systems, remains financially stable after the expansion. • In addition, tax increment assistance is necessary because the project will result in increased employment in the State, and, it will result in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the State.
