This district was created to facilitate the development of Target Stores in the community. In preparation for the expiration, staff has been working with Ehlers and Associates to ensure that the proper steps are being taken for the district to expire with a fund • balance of zero. During the process it was discovered that an excess fund balanced existed. Given the year the tax increment district was created, the statute permits funds to be transferred out of this particular TIF district to other parts of the development district for economic development activities. DISCUSSION It is anticipated that the excess increment generated by TIF District No. 1-7 will be approximately $830,000. After careful deliberation of potential projects, staff recommends the following budget schedule for the expenditure of funds: A. Tax increments from District No. 1-7 to be spent in Development District No. 1 Tax Increment District No. 1-9 (Renewal by Andersen). These funds will be used to supplement the budget for the Renewal by Andersen district. Site preparation costs $580,000 Road Improvements 150,000 Total within TIF District No. 1-9 $730,000 B. Tax increments from District No. 1-7 to be spent in Development District No. • 1. These funds will be used for land acquisition for industrial property within the Cottage Grove industrial Park. Land Acquisition $100,000 The budget may need to be adjusted by resolution in December if the final allocations do not directly correspond with the adopted budget. It is acceptable to alter the budget, but a resolution amending the budget to reflect actual expenditures is needed for accounting and reporting reasons. ACTION REQUIRED The Economic Development Authority should review the modifications to Tax Increment District No. 1-7. Should the EDA find that the modifications are in the public interest it should pass the attached resolution. ATTACHMENTS 1.

The final amount allocated will not exceed those limits in the tax increment law and will reflect the City's actual expenses. Any cost directly or indirectly related to the implementation of objectives of the Development District and Tax Increment Project Plan is considered a"project cost"and eligible to be paid from tax increments of the Tax Increment District including but not limited to the list above. With all projects the costs of engineering, design, survey, inspection, materials, construction, restoring property to its original condition, apparatus necessary for the public work, legal and other consultant fees, testing, environmental studies, permits, judgements or claims for damages and other expenses are included as project costs. The City has increased project costs by 5%per year as an inflation factor. The City reserves the right to adjust these projected costs to reflect final construction costs when implemented. In the event any such public works projects are not reimbursable out of the special TIF fund under Minnesota Statutes 469.174 through 469.179 in the written opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel or a court of record so rules in a final order,then such project or projects shall be deleted here from and the remainderof the projects hereunder shall be deemed the entirety of the projects for purposes of this project plan. In addition to the projects identified above within Exhibit A,the City is hereby modifying the estimate of costs to include the following projects, all located within Development District No. 1: 1. The City currently operates an Economic Development small business loan program. The City would use increment from Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 to fund the loan program and make • those funds available for economic development loans under the existing program guidelines for projects that would be constructed with Development District No. 1. Loans would be made only for Tax Increment Financing eligible expenditures. 2. To enhance traffic flow and economic development,the City may use increment from Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 for various traffic and roadway improvements which could include: A. Traffic signals at the interchange of Highway 61 and Jamaica Ave. B. The upgrading of 80th Street from Highway 61 to Jamaica Ave.,which includes reconstruction, beautification,frontage roads,turn lanes and other related public improvements. 3. To facilitate economic development the City may acquire 20 to 25 acres of land within the Cottage Grove Industrial Park. This land would be made available to interested parties for the construction of development projects. The budget for these additional projects is in addition to the projects previously identified in the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7. The total combined budget for the above named projects, including administrative costs,will not exceed $640,000. Loan program,traffic and roadway improvements,and industrial park land acquisition $589,500 Up to 10%Administration 65,500 Total Budget Change $655,000 • City of Cottage Grove Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 A-5 An analysis of the City's motivations for these projects is as follows: • The four alternatives listed below were published as part of the Public Hearing notice for this modification. The following text lays out the City's motivation for the each project in this plan amendment. 1. Enterprise Fund-Business Loan Pool In the 1989 Comprehensive Plan, the City identified certain economic development activities as highly desirable. The revitalization of commercial and industrial areas is encouraged to maintain a high quality of development in the city and the enhancement of the city's image as a desirable place to live,work,and play, are both goals which the Comprehensive Plan sets forth. To meet these goals,the City hired a professional economic developer to coordinate the communities efforts and create program to assist in meeting the city's goals and objectives. One of the programs developed is the Enterprise Fund,a revolving loan pool designed to facilitate business growth. The existing fund is capitalized at$200,000,a level which does not allow for reasonable public assistance for multiple projects. This has historically been proven. Since its creation in 1993,the fund has yet to make a loan. As a community we have submitted 8 customized proposals to qualified companies that then decided to locate in other communities. We have had discussions concerning our financial assistance programs with over 75 companies,and yet have not made a loan. In projects that total in the millions,the interjection of a few thousand dollars does not impact or demonstrate a benefit to the company. The use of additional tax increment dollars to enhance the fund balance would allow for the Enterprise Fund to provide a greater impact in assisting businesses in locating or growing in the community. It would also take a more active role in the city's financial assistance packages. This use of funds as a revolving loan limits the use of tax base related programs. • 2. Traffic and Roadway Improvements A. Traffic Signals at Highway 61 and Jamaica Avenue In the Comprehensive Plan's transportation policies, it states that the City shall periodically monitor traffic and turning movements at major intersections to determine if traffic control devices are warranted. In examining the Jamaica Avenue and Highway 61 intersection, it is apparent that the proposed improvement would not occur within the foreseeable future and therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. This area represents one of the key gateways to the city's commercial and industrial districts. Current traffic levels do not warrant the use of Minnesota State Aid funds to pay for the signalization, however,the installation of the traffic signals would greatly enhance the city's ability to market the industrial park which is located to the south of this intersection. The current situation,involving the usage of stop signs to facilitate traffic,is cumbersome and unattractive for companies which want to use a more seamless route to distribute their product. In comparison to the industrial parks in the Twin Cities,the ingress and egress to the Cottage Grove Industrial Park is a detriment. B. The upgrading of 80th Street from Highway 61 to Jamaica Avenue(est. Budget$3.1 Million) Aesthetic upgrades focused on the Highway 61 to East Point Douglas section. The 80th Street Reconstruction project represents a$3.1 million upgrade to one of the major road arteries in the community. This project has been identified in the Capital Improvements Program to take place in 1997. A task force has been established to help guide the process. • City of Cottage Grove Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 A-6 ti For years, the Highway 61 and 80th Street intersection and corridor has served as a gateway to the • community. In 1994,the City sponsored a study of retail development opportunities. The report called A Study of the Retail Potential.for Cottage Grove , Minnesota addressed the aesthetic deficiencies of the community and the flagged this corridor as needing an upgrade to promote additional development an redevelopment in the area. Unfortunately, there does not exist the resources to under take the type of improvement necessary. Current MSA dollars are allocated to the construction and reconstruction of roads in the community and the demand for these dollars out paces the supply. The aesthetic upgrades would include the utilization of landscaping,paverbricks and other decorative block,irrigation systems. Projected improvements would cost approximately $80,000 and would not be covered by the MSA dollars allocated for landscaping under the 80th Street project which is currently being undertaken by the City. At this time it is estimated that the MSA budget for landscaping would be approximately$40,000 and this amount would need to be spread over the two mile project area. In addition,other capital road improvements such as the 103rd Street Bridge and the extension of Harkness would be eligible for future MSA dollars. The creation of the gateway at the intersection would help facilitate the development of existing vacant property abutting the corridor and may serve to attract interest in redeveloping the Rose of Sharon Church property located at the intersection of 80th Street and East Point Douglas Road. 3. The Acquisition of 20-25 acres of land within the Cottage Grove Industrial Park The Cottage Grove Industrial Park is comprised of over 700 acres as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan process,it is the community's policy to encourage quality development of major commercial and industrial • area in planned and concentrated centers. The history of the area in meeting the goal has been brief. The last development,the Soo Line Marshalling Yard,was constructed in 1987. At the time,it was felt that this development would be the catalyst for attracting other tenants to the Park. However,given the oversupply of industrial land in the metropolitan area and the geographic disadvantage of not being located on a major freeway or interstate, little has happened in the area over the past 9 years. Marketing of this area has increased over the past four years, but with the increasing restrictions on development tools such as the green acres restriction on tax increment financing,it has become difficult for the city to offer the property at the same level as neighboring municipalities, both in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Given current land prices and the location of Cottage Grove in the broader metropolitan region, the purchase of property would allow the city to use the land as a catalyst for private development. The funds would be used to make the property more attractive in today's market,thus spurring growth in the area which would otherwise not occur in the next few years. The additional development which would result from the land program would generate new taxes and would more than offset the cost to the local taxing jurisdiction, by amending the tax increment plan and not pursuing the decertification. This can be best demonstrated through an example. Proposed land scenario:For every three acres purchased by a company,one acre is given to the project by the city. If the city purchases 20 acres an additional 60 acres of private ownership can be leveraged through this formula a total of 80 acres of development can occur. Tax Calculation: Assuming that all project have a 45%coverage ratio(from 1-2 Zoning)The amount • of taxable square footage is 1,568,160 sf. Assuming an average building construction cost of$25/sf. City of Cottage Grove Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No.1-7 A-7 the taxable value is$39,304,000. • The taxes generated from this value would be$1,767,301. This figure does not include the value of the land itself. The return on investment potential is very significant. In response to the information presented by staff and the attorney,the EDA passed a resolution supporting the amendment of tax increment plan for District 1-7. Their preference would be the expenditure of the funds to support the Land Purchase program. • • City of Cottage Grove Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 A-8 • EXHIBIT B • MAPS OF DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1-7 • • City of Cottage Grove Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax increment Financing District No. 1-7 B-I Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 r • Development District No. 1 City of Cottage Grove Washington County, Minnesota Lijo, i ._ I _ _ .t - --- -- -• .1 - ot�' '1 t • t ---- \ 4......1lc --� ' —- .'

My resignation will be effective Monday,August 31, 1998. • As I was preparing to write this letter I went back a number ofg ears ago duringwhich Y time the City of Cottage Grove was interviewing for the position of Economic Development Director. I remember those interviews as if they took place yesterday. Without a doubt the city made the right decision in selecting you as the EDA Director. Your track record speaks for itself and the fruits of the many months and years of hard work paid big dividends as the city landed Anderson Renewal. I will truly miss the interaction with you, city staff, as well as the members of the Economic Development Authority. I am sure that in the months and years ahead Cottage Grove will lead the way in economic development and as I stated months ago the availability of space in Cottage Grove will no longer exist. Thanks for giving me the opportunity of being of service and even though I will no longer be a member of the EDA I look forward to continuing the friendships that are most important to me. Sincerely, / 4/7./ Bill Buth •
