PLAN RELATING THERETO, LOCATED WITHIN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1
BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development Authority for the
City of Elk River, Minnesota (EDA) , as follows :
Section 1 . - Recitals.
1. 01 . It has been proposed that the EDA establish Tax
Increment Financing District No. 12 within Development District
No. 1 .
1 .02 . The EDA has caused to be prepared a proposed Tax
Increment Financing Plan (the Plan) for Tax Increment Financing
District No. 12 .

Statutes to be performed prior to the establishment of Tax
Increment Financing District No. 12 and the adoption of the
• Plan relating thereto.
1 . 04 . The EDA hereby determines that it is necessary
and in the best interest of the City at this time to establish
Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 and to approve the Plan
relating thereto.
Section 2 . - Findings for the Establishment of Tax
Increment Financing District No. 12
2 .01 . The EDA hereby finds, determines and declares
that the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No.
12 within Development District No. 1 is intended and, in the
judgement of this EDA, its effects will be, to provide an
impetus for commercial redevelopment, increase employment and
otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish
certain objectives as specified in the Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 12 .
2 . 02 . The EDA further finds, determines and declares
that Tax Increment Financing District No. 12 qualifies as an
Redevelopment District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469 . 174, Subdivision 10 . This finding is supported by a report
from the City Building Official which is included as an Exhibit
to the Plan.
2 . 03 . The EDA further finds that 100% of the parcels in
Tax Increment District No. 12 are occupied by improvements
which are structurally substandard to a degree requiring
III clearance before the parcels can be built upon; thereby meeting
the standards in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469 . 174,
Subdivision 10, paragraph (a) , clause ( 1) .
2 . 04 . The EDA further finds, determines and declares
that the proposed development, in the opinion of the EDA, would
not occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of Tax
Increment Financing is deemed necessary.
2 . 05. The EDA further finds, determines and declares
that the proposed Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.
12 conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
2 . 06 . The EDA further finds, determines and declares
that the proposed Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.
12 will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or
redevelopment of Development District No. 1 by private
enterprise.
2 . 07 . The EDA determines and declares that Tax
Increment Financing District No. 12 located within Development
District No. 1 is hereby established.
Section 3 . - Adoption of the Plan.
