Post Office A copy of a letter was presented that Representative Jim Ramstad wrote to the United States Postal Service.. on March 29, 2001. This letter urged the proceedings of the post office relo Green aI andlal ow the City of (Mound to EA- 21 funds for the construction of the Y continue the redevelopment of its downtown area. B. Greenway Grant Bruce Chamberlain explained that this g uest foE an earln May heading where a Post Office issue. There has been a req Y request will be made to extend the life cycle of these funds due to the post office situation. He explained that the Metropolitan Council controls these funds and the MDOT controls the contracts. C. Xcel Energy Substation Options from Xcel Energy to bury utility lines in the downtown district and suggestions from staff were presented by Bruce Chamberlain. He explained that distribution lines (lines running from substation to individual users) will be placed HRA Minutes -April 10, 2001 underground at no cost to the City. The issue is putting the transmission lines (high power lines running between substations) underground. Meyer brought out that some of the options given by Xcel have $1 million and $2 million charges to Mound energy users. He thinks that a surcharge of about $6/month/Mound resident, for three to five years is way too much and he would never support this option. Chamberlain's recommendation is a follows: The downtown development district (from Alder Road and post office sit on the north to Cypress Lane on the east, to Our Lake of the Lake Church on the south, to Cottonwood Drive on the west) be identified as an overhead utility-free zone. This implies that Xcel's option 2B would be followed in the burying of transmission lines. Staff suggests that four items be addressed in Council direction to Xcel Energy regarding this matter: 1) Mound requests Xcel Energy to conduct detailed cost and engineering exploration of burying transmission lines in the downtown district as identified; 2) Mound offers to negotiate purchase of Xcel land west of the substation and assist Xcel in acquiring land.east of the substation; 3) Mound offers to work with Xcel to enhance the landscaping around the substation; and 4) Mound asks Xcel to determine the ratepayer impacts of this work. MOTION by Brown, seconded by Anderson to accept staff recommendations and direction as noted above. Ayes: Brown, Hanus, Anderson. Nayes: Meyer. Motion carried. Meyer wanted it noted for the record that his vote was based on him not supporting Xcel's 2B option. D. County Road 15 Realignment Chamberlain stated he met with the County and would like the Council to set an open house for April 26th, where the County and City staff would be present to make presentations and answer questions from the public. City Manager Kandis Hanson added that it is out of the ordinary for the City to be taking a lead in this project, but the timeline is of great importance because it has to coincide with the Gramercy project. Discussion followed as to options if the County Road 15 project went as planned and the Gramercy project was delayed. MOTION by Meyer that the MetroPlains Development be stopped until the County's traffic impact study is complete and to direct staff to work with the County on these issues. Motion died for lack of a second. It was noted that the MetroPlains project and the County Road 15 Project are independent of each other. It is purely coincidental that they are coming together at the same time. Hanson emphasized that the County stands firm on one thing, being that the intersection in question can handle traffic for the next twenty years, with present development projects already taken into consideration. HRA Minutes -April 10, 2001 MOTION by Brown, seconded by Hanus to accept the County Road 15 Realignment progress report and schedule of tasks as presented, and set an open house for April 26, 2001, from 7-9 p.m. All voted in favor. Motion carried. MOTION by Brown, seconded by Anderson to continue the HRA meeting due to concurrent Executive Session with the City Council. All voted in favor. Motion carried.

County Road 15 Realignment At 8:04, City Manager Hanson addressed the HRA, still being in session, regarding the open house date for the County Road 15 realignment. The Chamber of Commerce has a recognition banquet on April 26, so there may be a conflict with this date. MOTION by Brown, seconded by Meyer to revisit the open house issue. All voted in favor. Motion carried. MOTION by Brown, seconded by Meyer to set April 25, 2001, as an alternate date for the open house on the County Road 15 Realignment, contingent upon this date working out for the County personnel involved. All voted in favor. Motion carried. 5. Executive Session• Law Suit by Polston, et al. From 8:07 p.m. to 8:18 p.m., the HRA was in Executive Session with the City Council.

To expand the budget for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 to include interest earnings, inter-fund loans and inter-fund transfers as tax increment funds; 2.

Subsection 1-2. Statement of and Findingof Public Purpose In recent months, the City of Mound has been reviewing the future development of the community. This review has defined several important roles for the City of Mound. ^ Facilitating development activities that are compatible with overall community development objectives of the City. ^ Removing the physical and economic barriers to development. ^ Providing the infrastructure needed to support development. ^ Providing sites for future development. The City intends to use the powers allowed under the Municipal Development District Act to fill these roles, to promote development and redevelopment throughout the City, and to pool resources in order to reduce financial barriers to providing decent housing, development and redevelopment opportunities. The City has found that there is a need for development and redevelopment within the Development District based upon the following conditions: 1. The Development District contains numerous parcels containing buildings or improvements which, by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or design, lack of ventilation, light and sanitary facilities, excessive land coverage, deleterious land use or obsolete' layout, and a combination of these and other factors is detrimental to the safety, health, morals or welfare of the community. 2. The Development District suffers from a lack of necessary streets, utilities and site improvements essential to preparing and making sites available for meaningful development. 3. The Development District requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound commerce through government action for the purpose of preventing mergence and continuation of blight and the occurrence of conditions requiring redevelopment 4. The Development District contains vacant, unused, underused and inappropriately used land. Therefore, the City created a program for improving the Development District to provide impetus for private development and redevelopment, to provide decent housing to residents, to maintain and increase employment, to provide infrastructure to serve citizens and employees of the City, to utilize existing land for potential redevelopment and to provide other facilities as are outlined in the Development Program.

The City finds that the welfare of the City, as well as the State of Minnesota, requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce to carry out its stated public purpose objectives. The City has also determined that the tax increment financing plans to be included herein will be consistent with the Development Program, and that the tax increment financing plans will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the Development District by private enterprise. Subsection 1-3. Statement of Objectives The City Council determines that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest to establish, designate, development and administer Development District No. 1. The City determines that the establishment of Development District No. 1 will provide the City with the ability to achieve certain public purpose objectives not otherwise obtainable in the foreseeable future without City intervention in the normal development process. The City seeks to achieve the following program objectives: 1.

I-I I-A O O V N 8 m N 0 ~_~ SECTION II City of Mound, Minnesota Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 Apri124, 2001 Introduction The following text represents a modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing Districts No. 1-1. The modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan represents a continuation ofthe goals and objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project and Development District No. 1 and the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing Districts No. 1-1. The purchase of land and upgrade of public utilities was financed through tax increments to facilitate the redevelopment of structural deficient properties and correct land use problems in the downtown area. The redevelopment began in 1984 and was completed in 1985. The first tax increment was received in 1985. The original plan for Tax Increment District No. 1-1 is being modified to clarify the budget and to comply with the current requirements of the Office of the State Auditor. The duration of the tax increment district is being clarified in the modification, therefore, there are no additional fiscal implications to the taxing jurisdictions. The budget is being modified to explicitly authorize repayment of refunding of bonds, loans from other city funds, and transfer amounts for the project area expenses, which may be interpreted as a budget increase, which requires a public hearing. Generally, the substantive changes in Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 include: 1. To expand the budget for Tax Increment Financing DistrictNo. 1-1 to include interest earnings, inter-fund loans and inter-fund transfers as tax increment funds; 2. To clarify budgets for previous bond refunding amounts; 3. To clarify duration; 4. To clarify the amount of interfund loans transfers of tax increments to be authorized; and 5. Explicitly authorize the use of tax increments for Development District project expenditures. The following modifications are intended to serve as additions to the original tax increment financing plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 according to the content below and are not contemplated to replace any sections unless specified. A copy of the full tax increment financing plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 is on file with the City Administrator of the City of Mound. Findings The original and modified Development Plan Development District No. 1 set forth the applicable findings for the establishment and modification of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1. The current modification does not require that the City Council adopt new findings, however, the City Council confirms all previous findings establishing and modifying Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1.
