DeJong, Finance Director ~) October 22, 2003 SUBJECT: Approve Findings on Four Pre-conditions to Extend the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District for One Year During the 2003 Special Session of the state legislature, a bill was passed that changed the process for dealing with deficits in TIF districts. The new law allows for a statutory extension, based on a formula of how much the district lost due to 2001 property tax reforms. This has been calculated by the Carver County Auditor's Office to allow up to a one year extension from the date the district would otherwise have been decertified. In our case that date would be November 1, 2003 when our final "qualified" debt service payments will be made. Pre-Conditions As shown on the attached bill language in Subd. 3. [PRECONDITIONS], there are four preconditions that must be met. 1) the original local tax rate under section 469.177, subd. la of the Act does not apply because the District is a pre-1979 district; 2) the fiscal disparities contribution of the District is calculated under section 469.177, subd. 3, paragraph (a) of the Act because the District is a pre-1979 district; 3) the City has attempted to avail itself of the opportunity under section 469.1763, subd. 6 of the Act to transfer available increment from other districts within the City but no increment is available for transfer due to obligation in those districts; and 4) taking into account all increment available to pay qualifying obligations of the District, increment from the District will be insufficient to pay the amount of qualifying obligations, as defined in section 469.1794, subd. 2 (e) of the Act, and the insufficiency is the result of changes in tax class rates since 1997, as detailed in Appendix B to the TIF Plan Modification The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, qualily schools, a charming downtown, lhriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks.

DeJong, Finance Director ~?~ ~ DATE: October 22, 2003 SUBJECT: Approve Transfer of Non-TIF Revenue from the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to Historic Preservation The Downtown TIF district has a significant amount of commingled non-TIF revenue that should be removed from the district. The specific amount in this case is the investment earnings of $2,688,128 as shown on line 25 of the 2002 TIF District Report. The city has placed the non-TlF revenues associated with our TIF districts into the Historic Preservation Trust Fund. This fund was originally set up to be a perpetual care fund for the maintenance of the Downtown TIF area after the district closed. We have previously approved transfers from the district in the amount of $914,543 as detailed on the enclosed history sheet. The Office of State Auditor has issued guidance that non-increment and increment should be segregated in different funds to avoid confusion regarding which fun, ds were used to pay which expenses. Recommendation Staff recommends that the non-increment revenues of $2,688,128 be transferred from fund 460 - Downtown TIF to fund 800 - Historic Preservation as presented.

Justin Miller: Good evening Chair, commissioners. As you're aware the City's been looking into extending our downtown TIF district for a year to help rectify the deficit situation that it's in. Recent state law has changed to allow us to extend that TIF district for another year. One of the requirements of that is that it goes before the Planning Commission to make sure any modifications to TIF plans have to go before the Planning Commission to find out if they're in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. That has been done. Another requirement is that it comes before the EDA. That is the purpose of this meeting tonight. Staff is recommending that the EDA approve the attached resolution approving the extension of the TIF district for another year. The downtown TIF district. Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Are there any questions for staff? Hearing none, is there a motion to approve? Bohn: I'I1 make a motion we approve the extension of the EDA... Mayor Furlong: Thank you, is there a second? Councilman Peterson: Second. Mayor Furlong: Any discussion? Hearing none we'll proceed with the vote. Resolution g2003-03: Bohn moved, Peterson seconded to approve the downtown TIF plan modifications as presented. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
