Dear Facilities Task Force Member:
I want to update you on the results of the Community Survey conducted in May by
Decision Resources. Bill Morris, Decision Resources president, made his report to the
Board last night. I wish I had better news:
· The community understands the need for more space. But the survey showed that
our residents are not willing to raise taxes to the level required by the Task Force
recommendation. The cost of a $50 million bond referendum to the owners of an
averaao, home in District 1 '12 ($175,000) is approximately $25 per month or $300 p,,r. ~.
yaar. The cost of ~ ~ mil~ic, n operatin3 ;evy to run the schools would increase tax6s
an additional $22 a month. The impact of an almost $600 per year tax increase on an
average home is ~omething our taxpayers will not consider.
· Bill toid the Boara that the community supports building a new elementary school,
less than half of those surveyed supported a new middle school. More residents
favored adding on to current middle school buildings.
· Technology has support among residents.
· Some repair and maintenance would be supported.
The Board was disappointed and dismayed with the survey results because they truly
believe that the need for both new buildings is there. Bill Morris was very persuasive,
however, that there is no way this proposal can win at the polls in November.
The Core Team is meeting on June 9 to consider other options. Bill Morris told the Board
that the community is more willing to accept a proposal of somewhere around $25-30
million. If you remember the challenge of creating scenarios totaling $45 million, you'll
understand the difficulty of the task ahead. Time is pressing in on us, too. The Board
must set the referendum questions soon in order to meet important state notification
deadlines required of school districts staging an election in November.
At this point, I do not know if we will reconvene the Task Force for a June meeting. It is
very difficult to pull staff and parents together during the summer. However, I will keep
you up-to-date by letter. If you have suggestions for ways to shear nearly $25 million
from our proposal, please don't hesitate to call any of the members of the Core Team:
Lou Wack, Greg Shank, Nancy Kracke, Dave Peterson, Betsy Chase, Nancy Martinson,
Cathy Gallagher, or me.

Re:
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota
Our File No.: 27981.2
Dear Jane:
On several occasions you and I have spoken by phone and in person regarding the rate
increase imposed by Triax on subscribers in the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota. The rate
increase in question relates to the $. 84 per subscriber per month passthrough which Triax is
required to provide to the City to support PEG access related expenses.
During franchise renewal negotiations and on several occasions since the franchise was
accepted by Triax, Triax indicated that approximately $.35 to $.40 ora subscriber's rate was
attributable to Triax's expenses in providing PEG access related services on behalf of the City
via the Mound studio. Given that the new franchise agreement relieves Triax of PEG
responsibility and these financial commitments, Triax no longer incurs any expense related to
PEG access operations. While Triax is obligated to remit $.84 per subscriber per month to the
City in support of PEG access, this amount should be offget by the savings to Tnax of
approximately $.35 to $.40 per subscriber per month which was previously built into subscriber
rates.
While the City has no objection to the fact that Triax has identified on subscriber's bills
an $.84 PEG access fee, subscriber's bills should have increased approximately $.45 to $.50 due
to the cost savings realized by Triax. However, Triax has increased rates the full $.84 without
providing an explanation or rationale for the discrepancy. There appears to be no offset for the
amount previously built into the rates and no other justification for an additional rate increase.
Both your office and Triax's regional manager, Mr. Tom Bordwell, have informed me
verbally on several occasions that the City could anticipate a letter "any day," yet no such
information has been forwarded to either the City or to my office. Please review this matter
provide a prompt response to this issue as soon as possible. ~'

Bill Summary H.F. 2420 Page 28 of 46
Appropriates $20 million to the Minnesota Minerals 21 st Century Fund for loans and
investments in a direct reduced iron production facility.
1 Taconite production tax rate. Freezes the taconite production tax rate at the 1998 level of
$2.141 per gross ton for one more year, through production year 1999. Under current law, the tax
rate for 1999 and subsequent years is scheduled to increase by the percentage increase in the
implicit price deflator.
2- Extension of taconite producer credits. Extends the current distributions to the Northeast
3 Minnesota Economic Protection Trust Fund and the Environmental Protection Trust Fund for two
more years, through production year 2001.
4 Extend Loan and Grant Authority. Removes the expiration of the authority of the IRRRB to
make loans and grants from the corpus and earnings of the Northeast Minnesota Economic
Protection Trust for direct reduced iron processing facilities or new mines or other mineral
processing facilities. Removes the current restriction on a portion of these monies which limits
their use to loans only. Also, allows designated monies to be used for equity investments.
5 Minnesota Minerals 21st Century Fund. Appropriates $20 million to the Minnesota Minerals
21 st Century Fund created in the Jobs and Economic Development Finance bill. In lieu of
provisions in that bill, provided that the IRRRB will match any funds appropriated under this
section to the extent used for loans or equity investments in a direct reduced iron production
facility.
Article 10: Tax Increment Financing
Overview
This article makes a number of changes in the tax increment financing law:
Reduces the required local contribution for housing districts from 10 percent to 5 percent;
Prohibits the use of increments for social and recreational facilities;
Pooling is permitted to make up deficits that resulted from property tax rate compression
enacted in 1997, 1998, and 1999. In addition, $4 million is appropriated to the TIF grant
program for deficits.
Provides a new enforcement mechanism that ~vill authorize the attorney general to petition the
tax court to suspend the TIF authority of a municipality or development authority for
violations referred by the state auditor.
Pooling by pre-1982 districts is ratified, if it was done before receiving a non-compliance
notice from the State Auditor or the end of 1999. These districts are allowed to pay off pre-
existing bonds and contractual obligations.
The article provides special law authority for several cities:
Onamia
St. Cloud
Dawson
Brooklyn Center
St. Paul
Jackson
Minneota
Fridley

Bill Summary H.F. 2420 Page 29 of 46

Local contributions, housing districts. Reduces the required local contribution for housing
districts from 10 percent to 5 percent. If the municipality elects to make a local contribution out
of its unrestricted moneys (such as its general fund), the district is exempt from the state aid
offset. The contribution is a percentage of the district's increments.
Under present law, housing, renewal and renovation, and economic development districts are
subject to a 10 percent contribution rate. Redevelopment, soils districts, and hazardous substance
subdistricts contribute at the 5 percent rate. Qualified housing districts (those that provide Iow
income rental housing) are exempt. Effective for districts for which the request for certification is
made after June 30, 1999.
TIF for social and recreational facilities. Prohibits spending tax increments to construct or
renovate facilities for social, recreational, or conference facilities or a public park used as a
commons area. This will prohibit use of TIF to build ice rinks, community centers, and other
facilities that cities have typically financed with TIF. The prohibition does not apply to privately
owned conference facilities.
This section also prohibits the use of tax increments outside of the TIF district on improvements,
equipment, and other items whose primary purpose is decorative or aesthetic or if the materials
used or design cost twice that of more commonly used equipment and improvements. This
prohibition does not apply to improvements related to rehabilitating historic structures on
national register or in a historic district listed on the national register.
The prohibitions under this section would be effective for expenditures made or binding contracts
entered after January 1, 2000.
TIF pooling authority. Authorizes municipalities with a deficit in a tax increment financing
(TIF) district that was caused by the1997 and 1998 reductions in property tax class rates to
transfer available increments from other TIF districts to eliminate the deficit. This authority is
subject to a number of limitations and conditions.
Scope. The authority applies only to TIF districts for which the request for certification was
made before enactment of the 1997 tax bill (i.e., the first round of class rate reductions).
Qualifying deficits. Deficits are defined as the lesser of (I) increments from the district
and any available increments from other districts permitted by existing pooling restrictions
less the district's obligations to pay pre-June 2, 1997 bonds or bonds issued to refund
contracts entered before June 2, 1997 or (2) the reduction in the district's increments that
result from the 1997, 1998, and 1999 property tax class rate changes.
Transfers from districts created by separate development authorities. The
municipality may transfer increments between districts even if they were created by
different types of development authorities (e.g., an economic development authority and a
port authority). This authority is limited to development authorities
under the control of the municipality (defined by reference to appointment powers). Thus, a
city could not transfer increments from a county HRA project, even if the TIF district was
located in the city. Increments could not be transferred by the city of Duluth from the
Seaway Port Authority.
Other pooling authority. The pooling authority under the bill applies notwithstanding the
pooling limits under other laws -- i.e., the percentage restrictions and the lack of authority
for pre-1982 districts. Pooled increments under the bill's authority are to be deducted
before calculating the percentage pooling limits for post-1990 districts. Thus, pooling will
proportionately reduce both increments available for in-district spending and pooling.

4 Pre-1982 TIF District Pooling Rules. Sets out "pooling rules" (i.e., the authority to spend
increments from a district on activities outside of the geographic area of the district) for districts
established after July 31, 1979 and before July 1, 1982. Applies only to TIF districts where the
request for certification was made after July 31, 1979 and before July 1, 1982.
Background information. The 1979 TIF Act explicitly required increment to be spent in
accordance with a TIF plan for the improvement and development of the district. This limited
spending to development or redevelopment of the district. Pooling or spending of increments for
development or redevelopment of other areas (i.e., outside the district) was not explicitly
authorized. The 1982 legislature allowed unlimited pooling of increments, but
these changes were effective only for districts for which the request for certification was made
after June 30, 1982. Thus, these pre-1982 districts have no specific statutory authority to spend
increments on developments outside of the district. In 1990, the legislature imposed percentage
limits on the amount of increments that could be spent outside of the district. These limits apply
to newly certified districts and areas of existing districts.
Exemptions. Increments are not subject to this section, if they were used for debt service pooling
by municipal development districts. (This was a limited pooling authority available between 1984
and 1990.) Also, the section does not ratify past pooling violations, if the city voluntarily repaid
the increments and decertified the district before legislation was enacted.
Notification by state auditor. The bill requires the State Auditor to notify each development
authority (e.g., a economic development authority or housing and redevelopment authority) of the
provisions of this law.
Ratification of past spending. The bill provides that expenditures on activities outside of the
TIF district are legal if they meet either of two requirements:
The expenditures were made before the city or authority was notified by the State Auditor
that spending for the district was not in compliance with the law or December 31, 1999,
whichever occurs first. This notification by the Auditor does not refer to notice required by
this section, but rather would have been part ora compliance audit by the Auditor or
similar circumstances that resulted from a review of the district's activities.
The expenditures were made to pay "pre-existing outside district obligations." These are
obligations that are secured by increments from the district. To qualify bonds must have
been issued before the earlier of (1) final notice of noncompliance from the Auditor or (2)
April l, 1999. To qualify contracts must have been entered before the earlier of(l) the
notice from the Auditor or (2) May 1, 1999.
Early decertification required. If the authority spent increments on activities outside of the
district, after December 31, 1999 it may only spend increments to pay pre-existing obligations.
These are bonds issued or contracts entered before the dates listed in the previous paragraph,
except for contracts for activities in the district may be entered into up to June 30, 1999 (rather
than the May 1, 1999 date). When these obligations are paid, the district must be decertified.
5 Enforcement notices. Requires a county attorney who receives a TIF violation notice to notify
the State Auditor, if the county attorney decides not bring an action or if 12 months pass and no
action has been brought. The State Auditor is then required to notify the attorney general.
6 Suspension of TIF authority. Requires the attorney general to review materials on violations
submitted by the State Auditor, the municipality, and the development authority. If the attorney
general finds the violation was substantial, the attorney general is to petition the tax court to
suspend the municipality and development authority's power to use TIF for up to five years.
Before petitioning the tax court, the attorney general is to attempt to resolve the matter using
alternative dispute resolution.
http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/bs/81/HF2420.html 6/2/99
Bill Summary H.F. 2420 Page 31 of 46
If the tax court finds a substantial violation, it may suspend the authority to use tax increment
financing for up to 5 years. In determining the length of the suspension, the court may consider a
variety of enumerated factors, such as the dollar amount involved, the sophistication of the local
unit, the extent which it was a clear violation of law, or whether there was a pattern of violations.
A suspension would prohibit requesting certification of new districts, adding area to existing
districts, issuing bonds, or amending a TIF plan to authorize new activities or expenditures. This
suspension procedure and authority is limited to violations that are identified by the State Auditor
beginning in the year 2000.
7 Conforming changes. Repeals the special pooling authority to eliminate deficits enacted in 1998
as part of the special taxing district authority. Section 3 provides general pooling rules for this
purpose.
8 Permitted purposes for abatements. Allows abatements to be used to defer paying taxes
without interest or penalties. This section also clarifies that property tax abatements may be used
to pay for public infrastructure.
9 Definition. Defines abatement to include deferral of taxes with abatement of interest and
penalties. This is intended to permit use of abatements to defer the payment of taxes without
interest.
10 Amount of abatement. Authorizes political subdivisions to abate fiscal disparities tax. Each of
the three units (city/town, school district, and county) would be permitted to abate an amount of
the total taxes equal to its tax rate multiplied by the tax capacity of the parcel. Thus, the total
amount of the abatement would effectively include tax equal to the fiscal disparity tax on a
commercial or industrial parcel. The abatement would be fully funded by the approving local unit
of government. It would not reduce the contributions to the fiscal disparities pool or increase
distributions from the pool.
This section authorizes abating interest and penalties on property taxes.
This section clarifies that use of an abatement for public infrastructure is not limited to
improvements located on the parcel whose taxes are abated. It also allows the town board of
supervisors to grant an abatement. Under present law, this required action at the town meeting.
11 Deferred payment schedule. Requires establishing a repayment schedule, xvhen abatement is
used to defer payment of taxes. The deferred taxes will be levied as with a regular abatement.
12 Amount of school district abatements. Allows school districts to abate the full amount of their
tax. Under present law, school districts may not abate one-half of the tax attributable to the
general education tax rate.
13 Annual approval of abatements of school taxes. Eliminates the requirement that schools
annually re-approve abatements. This requirement prevents issuing bonds financed with the
amount of the school tax abatements.
14 Consent of property, owner. Clarifies that a property owner need not consent to an abatement.
15 Public infrastructure. Clarifies that abatements may be retained to reimburse the political
subdivision for infrastructure costs for which bonds were not issued.
16 TIF grants. Provides that the TIF grant programs may pay for deficits caused by the 1998
property tax class rate compression, as well as any enacted in 1999. Present law limited the
availability of grants to the 1997 compression.
17 TIF grants, extension. Extends the duration of the TIF grant program by one additional year
through 2002.
http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/bs/81/HF2420.html
6/2/99
Bill Summary H.F. 2420 Page 32 of 46
18 Onamia TIF. Allows the city of Onamia to increase the 5 year rule to 10 years. The 5 year rule
requires increment to be spent or binding contracts to be entered within five years after the
district is certified. These increments may only be spent on three parcels fronting on U.S.
highway 169.
19 St. Cloud TIF, pooling permitted. Authorizes the St. Cloud housing and redevelopment
authority (HRA) to spend increments from a pre-1982 TIF district outside of the district to
redevelop properties destroyed by a natural gas explosion on December 11, 1998. Effective upon
local approval.
20 St. Paul, TIF. Extends the duration of the Williams Hill TIF district in St. Paul by ignoring the
first $2,000 of increment for purposes of the duration limit. The maximum permitted duration
extension is 2 years. The duration limits for TIF districts generally begin upon receipt of the first
increment. Effective upon local approval by the city, county, and school district. The state aid
offset will apply during the extension period.
21 City of Jackson, TIF. Allows the city of Jackson to extend the duration of a pre-1979 TIF
district to collect increments through 2002. The maximum amount of increments allowed to be
collected is $170,000. Under general law, these districts may not spend increment after April 1,
200 I, except to pay obligations issued before April 1, 1990. Thus, the bill will allow the city to
collect increments in 2001 and 2002. Effective upon local approval by the city, county, and
school district. The state aid offset applies during the extension period.
22 City of Minneota, TIF. Ratifies expenditures of increment made by the city of Minneota for its
tax increment financing district. This ratifies approximately $28,000 that the city spent in excess
of the total estimated expenditures in the TIF plan. The provision is effective upon local approval
by the city.
23 Fridley TIF. Allows the city of Fridley to extend the duration of TIF district No. 6 to 2025. This
district is a redevelopment district:; absent the legislation it would be required to be decertified in
2012. Thus, this section provides for up to a 13 year extension. The extension is subject to the
state aid offset during the extension period under special rules. The amount of the aid offset is
limited to the least of(1) $200,009, plus one-half of the excess; (2) 2.5 percent of the city's net
tax capacity; or (3) 5 percent of tke district's increment for the previous year.
Pooling of increments from the districts is permitted only for sewer and highway costs directly
related to the development in the district. Tax capacity attributable to 200,000 square feet of
building value (other than parking ramps) must be decertified in the year district would have been
decertified under general law.
The extension is effective upon approval by the city, county, and school district.
24 Brooklyn Center. Authorizes Brooklyn Center to change the fiscal disparities election for TIF
district No. 4 to permit the fiscal disparities contribution to be paid by the city, rather than the
district.
25 Dawson. Extends the duration of an economic development district in the city of Dawson to 18
years after receipt of the first increment. This would extend the decertification date from January,
2010 to July, 2019.
26 Minneapolis. Exempts three Minneapolis tax increment financing districts from the prohibition
on the use of social and recreational facilities: Mill Ruin Park, the Milwaukee Road Depot, and
Federal Reserve.
27 Appropriation, TIF grants. Appropriates an additional $4 million for the TIF grant program.
This will increase the total funding for the grants to $6 million.
28 Repealer. Repeals the special pooling authority under the TIF grant program. This is replaced by
the authority in section 3.

1997 Park, Open Space and Trail Citizen
Oversite Committee Meeting
On Wednesday, June 2, 1999, I hosted the final meeting of the 1997 Referendum
Citizen Oversite Committee. This group was formed to ensure the funds were
invested on the projects specified in the referendum. The committee has met
intermittently since passage of the referendum. Last Tuesday I presented the final
budget tabulation in concert with a power point imagery presentation of all the
projects.
Unfortunately, four of five members could not attend the meeting. I will be
mailing a hard copy of the information presented at the meeting to those unable to
attend. The Citizen Oversight Committee is officially disbanded.
