Dear M
In October we informed cities that the League of Minnesota Cities and the Minnesota
Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO)
had joined together to support tax increment financing. A program of analysis and
representational activities is being undertaken. This step was taken in response to
resolutions adopted by city officials who studied the possibilities of legislative
action by the legislature in 1986 and beyond.
You will recall that the League /NAHRO program is to be financed by a voluntary
contribution from cities involved in tax increment finance. These contributions are
to help defray the direct costs of employing Holmes and Graven to undertake the tax
increment finance study and assist in lobbying the League /NAHRO position on tax
increment finance.
The results of this work are already evident in the proceedings with tax increment in
this legislative session. Even though a less- than - desirable bill has advanced from
the House Committee on Taxes, cities would have been in much more difficulty if we
had not had the ability to marshal facts and figures in order to participate in the
legislative process and be able to prevent much worse possibilities.
This letter is sent to you to urge you to please contribute your voluntary assess-
ment, which is $1,103.73. Several alternatives were considered before establishing
the assessment formula. Cities which had tax increment districts in 1984 payable
1985 tax year are being asked to proportionally contribute to the cost of the
program.
The League urges your city to contribute your voluntary assessment to help defray the
costs incurred to perform the tax increment finance study and lobbying effort which is
helping to preserving tax increment as a viable development tool financing for the
future.
If you have any further
S rtic','rely,

SUBJ: Requests for Assistance:
a. Victory Envelope
b. Roos Development Corporation
Attached please find letters from Victory Envelope and Roman Roos
requesting assistance on their developments within the business
park. Following the groundbreaking for Victory Envelope, the
Mayor, Chairman Whitehill and myself met with Jerry Carlson and
his attorney (Jules Smith). Mr. Carlson generally repeated
points brought out in his letter. Following that meeting, I
met with Jules Smith to explore various alternatives which Mr.
Carlson would desire to be reviewed. Most of the alternatives
reviewed are simply either not legal or not practical. I will be
meeting with Mr. Smith in the next ten day period to review an
additional alternative. This alternative will be presented to
the BRA at our next meeting.
!I As potential decisions made regarding the Carlson request may
affect the Roos request, I would ask that both of these items be
tabled to our next regular meeting. No action on either of these
items is required this evening with this memorandum (their let-
ters) being presented solely as information to the BRA.
