CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
• Council Letter No. 43
Agenda February 23, 1998
Issue Statement:
First reading consideration of a new ordinance, Section 1187, regulating and licensing
pawnbroker businesses within the City of Richfield.
Background:
Public Safety has found that because pawn businesses have the ability to receive and
transfer property easily and criminals often attempt to use pawn services to conceal
their crimes and to dispose of stolen property. Public Safety further finds that the pawn
industry has outgrown the City's current ability to effectively or efficiently identify
criminal activity related to pawn shops. The proposed ordinance will increase the City's
ability to identify criminal activity in a more timely and expedient manner.
Staff has researched other methods that might be useful and has found that the
Automated Pawn System (APS) developed by and currently being used by the City of
Minneapolis appears to be the most effective system available. There is also a growing
trend for other metropolitan police departments to utilize this system as well and for a
high level of consistency to exist in information sharing between suburban departments.
This system will require pawnbroker businesses to electronically transfer all necessary
pawn information to Public Safety staff on a daily basis. Staff will then be able to easily
and readily identify issues or problems that may be occurring in the City in this type of
40 business.
Staff has developed the ordinance and has met with the owners of the two pawnbroker
establishments in the City of Richfield. They provided input on the ordinance and final
changes were made.
With the proposed new ordinance, staff is recommending the following changes in the
license fee structure:
Staff is recommending the addition of manager and employee investigation fees to the
new ordinance, as it is imperative that background investigation checks are performed
on all individuals employed in a pawnbroker establishment. This type of check on
employees has not been conducted in the past. This would provide staff with the ability
to determine if any of those employees have a criminal history record.

to determine if any of those employees have a criminal history record.
�-I
Staff is also recommending a per transaction fee of $1.50 as Richfield will be charged
$1 by Minneapolis on a per transaction basis for the use of the Automated Pawn
System. The additional $.50 is to cover staff administrative cost and increased
monitoring.
The City's current pawnbroker ordinance, City Code Section 1186, would be
superseded by the ordinance being recommended. Staff will also be undertaking a
review and revision of the City's current second hand goods dealer ordinance within
one year. Any references in City Code Section 1186 to second hand goods dealers will
remain as they currently are until this review and revision is completed.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of an ordinance regulating and licensing pawnbroker businesses
within the City of Richfield and set a public hearing and second reading for March 23,
1998.
Basis of Recommendation:
The ordinance will provide Public Safety staff with the opportunity to more easily and
more quickly identify criminal activity related to pawn shops.
Alternative Recommendation:
The Council could decide not to approve the first reading of City Code Section 1187
which would mean that while pawnbrokers would continue to be licensed and regulated
by the City, criminal activity related to pawn shops would not be identified as easily or
as quickly.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Approve first reading of an ordinance regulating and licensing pawnbroker businesses
within the City of Richfield.

AN ORDINANCE REGULATING PAWNBROKER ESTABLISHMENTS; REQUIRING
A LICENSE; ESTABLISHING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS; AMENDING THE CITY

REGULATIONS IN SECTION 1186
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
follows:
Section 1. The Richfield City Code is amended by adding a new section as
Section 1187 - Pawnbrokers
Purpose. The city council finds that because pawn businesses have the ability to
receive and transfer property easily and quickly, criminals often attempt to use pawn
services to conceal their crimes and to dispose of stolen property. The city council
further finds that the pawn industry has outgrown the city's current ability to effectively
or efficiently identify criminal activity related to pawn shops. The city council also finds
that consumer protection regulation is warranted in transactions involving pawnbrokers.
The purpose of this chapter is to prevent pawn businesses from being used as facilities
for the commission of crimes and to assure that such businesses comply with basic
consumer protection standards, thereby protecting the public health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens of the city.
To help the public safety department better regulate current and future pawn
businesses, decrease and stabilize costs associated with the regulation of the pawn
industry, and increase identification of criminal activities in the pawn industry through
the timely collection and sharing of pawn transaction information, this chapter also
implements and establishes the required use of the automated pawn system.

this subsection have the meanings given them.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 42
Agenda February 23, 1998
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and consideration of the approval of the proposed Richfield
Rediscovered New Construction Program, Cycle V:
• Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area A and Tax
Increment Financing Plan for the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
A -5 (a redevelopment district);
• Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area B and Tax
Increment Financing Plan for the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
B -5 (a redevelopment district); and
• Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Financing
Districts A -1, A -2, A -3, A -4, B -1, B -2, B -3, and B-4 (redevelopment districts). (An
explanation of the above alpha- numeric system immediately follows this letter.)
Background:
. Over the past several years, Richfield Rediscovered New Construction Program Plans
have been created and modified in order to provide for the clearance of small,
substandard houses and make available vacant lots for the construction of larger,
market -rate, single family homes in the community. The Richfield Rediscovered New
Construction Program continues the goals and objectives originally set forth at program
inception in 1990. The Cycle V program is specifically aimed at:
• providing a composite list of 82 qualifying, candidate properties for potential
acquisition;
• purchasing and demolishing nine substandard properties during 1998;
• providing for the construction of at least nine new homes valued at an average of
$135,000 (the average value of new homes built in 1995 and 1996 was $146,000);
• generating land sale proceeds as a source of program revenue; and
• continuing to provide new, larger single family and townhome opportunities to
potential residents and to current residents who want to remain in Richfield.
Initial purchases in Cycle V will be made with Development Fund revenues. Later this
year, an alternative funding program will be presented as Development Fund revenues
will no longer be available.
Attached to this letter are the Redevelopment Plans and Tax Increment Plans under the
current proposal and the following summaries:
•
5`1
a) Alpha- numeric system for Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment
Financing Districts A -1, A -2, A -3, A =4, B -1, B -2, 13=3, and B -4, including maps of the
project areas, as proposed for amendment, and location of tax increment candidate
properties;
b) Additional program information requested by the Planning Commission;
c) Tax Increment Plans for Districts A -5 and approving resolution; and
d) Tax Increment Plans for Districts B -5 and approving resolution.
It is encouraged that all Plans, including respective maps, budgets, and cashflows, be
reviewed in conjunction with the summaries. In addition to these materials, please note
the following major points of the modifications to the Program and Plans:
Modification of Redevelopment Project Area Plans for Project Areas A and B:
• Project boundary expansions to both project areas to include qualifying parcels that
lie near Crosstown Highway 62 for Project Area A and near Penn Avenue and 66th
Street for Project Area B.
• Identification of 53 scattered sites within Project Area A and 29 scattered sites within
Project Area B, for a total of 82 properties which are qualifying, substandard
candidate properties for acquisition and redevelopment. (Please note that the Plans
. have been revised since HRA approval on January 20, 1998 to correct parcel
sorting errors between the two project areas. The total amount of properties on the
two lists remains at 82. If all double lots on the lists were to be subdivided, there
would be 85 potential new sites available for redevelopment.)
Modification of Tax Increment Financing District A -1. A -2. A -3, and A-4 and Tax
Increment Financing District B -1, B -2. B -3, and B-4:
• A "housekeeping" measure to bring these specific plans into alignment with
Hennepin County's tax increment lists and the State Auditor's annual tax increment
reports, as well as simplify internal management of program properties.
Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District A -5 (a redevelopment district) and
Tax Increment Financing District B -5 (a redevelopment district):
• Creation of two new scattered -site, tax increment redevelopment districts (District A-
5 within Project Area A, and District B -5 within Project Area B) whose terms are not
to exceed 25 years.
• Creation of two new lists of qualifying properties -- 53 properties for Tax Increment
District A -5 and 29 properties for Tax Increment District B -5 -- totaling 82 properties
from which to draw that could effectively provide for the construction of 85 new
single family, market rate homes (three double lots are included), depending on
funding sources. (See note above regarding correction to sorting error.)
• Establishment of new tax increment expenditure budgets.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the three attached resolutions which:
A) Approves Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project
Area A; establishes Tax Increment Financing District A -5 (a redevelopment
district); and creates a Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District A -5.
B) Approves Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project
Area B; establishes Tax Increment Financing District B -5 (a redevelopment
district); and creates a Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District B -5.
C) Approves Modifications to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment
Financing Districts A -1, A -2, A -3, A-4, B -1, B -2, B -3, and B-4 (all redevelopment
districts).
• Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Richfield Rediscovered New Construction Program continues to be a
successful program in the community which clears small, substandard houses and
provides vacant lots for the construction of larger, market -rate, single family homes
in the community.
2. Richfield Rediscovered is a proven redevelopment program yet requires the
modification of its plans from time to time in order to provide updated lists of
qualifying properties and tax increment budgetary considerations.
3. The HRA approved the modifications on January 20 and requested the City Council
to hold a public hearing and approve the modifications.
4. The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed plans and modifications and
has made an affirmative finding with regard to the conformity of the plans, land
acquisition, and disposition to the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
5. The HRH's development consultant, Ehlers & Associates, Inc., has prepared the
plans in conjunction with legal counsel's review and found them to be in compliance
with existing law.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Modify the proposed program.
5 -3
40 2. Delay action until a future time.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
The proposed modifications to existing plans and creation of new plans are being
processed to provide new updated candidate property lists for construction
opportunities for the 1998 construction season. Previously, the Cycle IV lists were
approved in 1995. The proposed Cycle V updates the list of properties to allow the
program to continue.

EXPLANATION OF ALPHA - NUMERIC ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM
RICHFIELD REDISCOVERED NEW CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM DOCUMENTS
The Richfield Rediscovered New Construction Program is organized alpha - numerically
because of its cyclical nature. The original program established two redevelopment
project areas, Project Area A and Project Area B. Cycle I began when the program was
initiated in 1990. Properties purchased from the approved plan lists became the tax
increment district for that cycle, thus the designation A -1 and B -1, and so on. If the
current proposed modification is approved, the properties purchased from the two lists
of potential candidates in the documents would be designated as Tax Increment District
A -5 and B -5.
The next two pages are copies of maps which appear in the plan documents. The first
map shows the A and B project areas as well as the proposed areas of enlargement.
The second map identifies by dots the potential list of 82 candidate properties (53 in A
and 29 in B). Again, all of the properties purchased as part of the proposed Cycle V will
be designated A -5 or B -5.

CITY OF RICHFIELD
Memorandum
DATE: February 5, 1998
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Julie Urban, Zoning Administrator
SUBJECT: Answers to Questions about Richfield Rediscovered and the Use of Tax
Increment Financing (Modified)
The following information is provided by Housing and Redevelopment Authority staff in
response to the questions Commissioners raised at the last Planning Commission
meeting:
1. Sub - standardness or "blight" is determined by a number of factors, including:
• the structural integrity of the house (foundation, floor joist system, etc.)
• the function of the house structure /functional obsolescence (are doorways very
narrow? ceilings low? access to the bathroom only through a bedroom? kitchen
poorly designed? limited ability to remodel due to structure or house orientation ?)
• location of buildings on lot (houses at the rear of the lot are not in conformity with
zoning nor rest of block)
• building code and finishes (updating plumbing, heating and electrical systems;
condition of roof, siding; aged wall and floor coverings that have not been replaced
for several years)
If the cost of the required repairs and rehab exceeds 15 percent of the cost of
constructing a new, up to date home (of identical square footage) on the same site,
then the property meets the statute requirements for inclusion on a Tax Increment
Redevelopment District.
2. How many of the parcels on the list does the HRA own?
Of the 82 parcels included in the recent plan modification, the HRA currently owns
three. Usually, qualifiable parcels are identified, and purchase occurs later. After
purchase occurs, development usually needs to happen quickly, which does not allow
time for the property to be included in a new plan modification. Therefore it is important
to identify as many potentially qualified parcels as possible ahead of time.
•

February 5, 1998'""
Page 2
3. How many of the parcels will be done in 1998? How are they chosen?
In 1998, 8 -10 will be purchased for redevelopment. Properties are purchased from
willing sellers of qualified property. If not enough willing sellers of qualified property
have emerged, letters go out to other owners who appear to have qualified property,
reminding them of the program, if they are interested.
4. Sites for multi -unit single family developments?
Of the properties purchased in 1997, two can support townhome developments (six
units). Sites large enough for such developments are unique. One qualifiable site
which could potentially be developed with a two unit townhome was appraised but not
purchased (the owner decided not to sell at this time).
5. How are properties picked (how do they make the list)?
Properties are identified from a variety of sources including tax value (generally,
properties under $65,000), drive -bys, and word -of -mouth (for example, a resident calls
and asks if the City is interested in purchasing their property or an employee in another
City Department lets HRA staff know about a potential property). Once a property is
identified, HRA staff do a drive by, research property characteristics through Assessing
and Inspections files, and, when possible, conduct an interior inspection.
6. How were the original Project boundaries determined?
The original project area boundaries, established in 1990, were determined by HRA
staff and legal counsel and approved by the HRA and City Council. Different options
were considered for determining the location and size of the project area, including
creating one large area encompassing most of the City and creating several smaller
project areas covering logical groupings of units. As the qualifying parcels were
scattered sites, the project area boundaries were drawn to include the parcels under
the original plan as well as plan for the future. Since Richfield Lake, Wood Lake and I-
35W provided a geographical challenge and natural division to one large project area, it
was determined that two project areas would serve equally well and be prudent legal
and political alternatives to one large project area.

Required findings by the City Council: Evidence
1. District A -5 is a redevelopment district as
defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
10(a)(1).
2. The proposed development would not
occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future
and that the increased market value of the
site that could reasonably be expected to
occur without the use of tax increment
financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated to result
from the proposed development after
subtracting the present value of the
projected tax increments for the maximum
duration of the district permitted by the
plan.
3. The Tax Increment Financing Plan for
District A -5 conforms to the general plan
for the development or redevelopment of
the municipality as a whole.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing
Plan for District A -5 will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the
development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project Area A by private
enterprise.
District A -5 consists of 53 parcels, with plans to
redevelop the area for residential purposes. The
Council generally believes that each of the
parcels in the District are occupied by buildings,
streets, utilities, or other improvements and the
buildings in District A -5, not including
outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a
degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance. Because District A -5 is a scattered site
redevelopment district, each parcel qualifies
individually. These findings are based upon
general information about buildings of similar
age and construction because building owners did
not consent to interior inspections at this time.
Prior to a parcel being certified with Hennepin
County, an interior inspection will be conducted
to confirm that the redevelopment district criteria
have been met.
If all development which is proposed to be
assisted with tax increment were to occur in
District A -5, the total increased market value
would be up to $4,313,900 It is the Council's
finding that no development with a market value
of greater than $3,161,558 would occur without
tax increment assistance in this district within 25
years. This finding is based upon evidence from
general past experience with the high cost of
acquisition and site improvements in the general
area of District A -5
The Plan will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission on January 27, 1998 in order to find
that the Plan is in conformance with the general
development plan of the City.
4. The project to be assisted by District A -5 will
result in increased employment in the City and
the State of Minnesota, the renovation of
substandard properties, increased tax base of the
State and add a high quality development to the
City.

Required findings by the City Council: Evidence
1. District B -5 is a redevelopment district as
defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
10(a)(1).
The proposed development would not
occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future
and that the increased market value of the
site that could reasonably be expected to
occur without the use of tax increment
financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated to result from
the proposed development after subtracting
the present value of the projected tax
increments for the maximum duration of
the district permitted by the plan.
3. The Tax Increment Financing Plan for
District B -5 conforms to the general plan
for the development or redevelopment of
the municipality as a whole.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing
Plan for District B -5 will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the
development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project Area A by private
enterprise.
District B -5 consists of 29 parcels, with plans
to redevelop the area for residential purposes.
The Council generally believes that each of
the parcels in the District are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, or other
improvements and the buildings in District B-
5, not including outbuildings, are structurally
substandard to a degree requiring substantial
renovation or clearance. Because District B -5
is a scattered site redevelopment district, each
parcel qualifies individually. These findings
are based upon general information about
buildings of similar age and construction
because building owners did not consent to
interior inspections at this time. Prior to a
parcel being certified with Hennepin County,
an interior inspection will be conducted to
confirm that the redevelopment district
criteria have been met.
If all development which is proposed to be
assisted with tax increment were to occur in
District B -5, the total increased market value
would be up to $2,188,200 It is the Council's
finding that no development with a market
value of greater than $1,586,332 would occur
without tax increment assistance in this
district within 25 years. This finding is based
upon evidence from general past experience
with the high cost of acquisition and site
improvements in the general area of District
B -5 .
3. The Plan will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission on January 27, 1998 in order to
find the Plan in conformance with the general
development plan of the City.
4. The project to be assisted by District B -5 will
result in increased employment in the City
and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of
substandard properties, increased tax base of
the State and add a high quality development
to the City.

EXHIBIT A
RESOLUTION NO.
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5, ( "District A -5 ") as
required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that District A -5 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section
469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1).
District A -5 consists of 53 parcels, with plans to redevelop the area for residential
purposes. The Council generally believes that each of the parcels in the District
are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements and the
buildings in District A -5, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard
to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. Because District A -5
is a scattered -site redevelopment district, each parcel qualifies individually.
These findings are based upon general information about buildings of similar age
and construction because building owners did not consent to interior inspections
at this time. Prior to a parcel being certified with Hennepin County, an interior
inspection will be conducted to confirm that the redevelopment district creation
have been met. (See also Appendix D of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
0 Tax Increment District A -5).
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would
not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site
that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment
financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result
from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the
projected tax increments for the maximum duration of District A -5 permitted by
the Plan.
Due to the high cost of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by
substandard buildings and the cost of financing the proposed improvements, this
project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without
establishment of Tax Increment Financing District A -5 and the use of tax
increments has been performed as described above. If all development which is
proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in District A -5, the total
increased market value would be up to $4,313,900. It is the Council's finding
that no development with a market value of greater than $3,161,558 would occur
without tax increment assistance in this district within 25 years. This finding is
is based upon evidence from general past experience with the high cost of
5-/9
acquisition and site improvements in the general area of District A -5 (see
Cashflow in Appendix C of the Program and Plan).
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District A -5 conforms to the
general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a
whole.
The Plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 27, 1998 and
found to be in conformance with the general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District A -5 will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole,
for the development or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project Area A by
private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by District A -5 will result in the renovation of
substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high quality
development to the City.

Subsection G. Acquisition and Relocation Activities
Acquisition
In furtherance of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, HRA staff maintained standards set forth in
previous years to identify property for acquisition. In its sequential numbering system, this is Cycle V in the
housing program. As in the past, residential property owners were contacted and surveyed to determine (a.)
whether or not they continued to express an interest in selling their property on a voluntary basis and (b.) if
interested, within which time frame. Additional means of obtaining candidate properties were made by (a.)
property owners contacting the HRA requesting that their property be considered for the program and (b.)
referrals by the City's health and inspections department. Candidate properties were further evaluated for
program eligibility and inspected. The properties identified for acquisition under Cycle V of the program are
listed in Appendix A of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5.
Relocation
The HRA accepts as binding its obligations under provisions of federal and state law (M.S., Chapter 1] 7) for
relocation.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT A -5
Subsection 2 -1.
The City of Richfield(" "), the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA "), staff and
consultants have pre e following information to expedite the establishment of Tax Increment Financing
District A- 5itnczA -5 "), a redevelopment tax increment financing district, located in Redevelopment
Statutory Authority
Uthin the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or
pment to occur. To this end, the City and HRA have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes ( "M.S. "), Sections 469.001 through 469.047, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174
through 469.179, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF Act "), to assist in
financing public costs related to this project.
This Section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan ") for District A -5. Other relevant
information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area A.
Subsection 2 -3. Statement of Objectives
District A -5 currently consists of 53 parcels of land and adjacent and internal rights -of -way. District A -5 is
created to facilitate the demolition of substandard houses and enable families to construct new houses on the
lots through a program known as Richfield Rediscovered, which is administered by the HRA. Currently
District A -5 consists of 53 lots with the potential for a total of 55 new homes to be constructed, including
double lots. Due to the voluntary nature and timing of the sale of the homes included in District A -5, it is
likely that some of the parcels will not be redeveloped or will be included in subsequent tax increment
financing districts. The budget for District A -5 found in Subsection 2 -10 does assume that 55 new homes are
built. This plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Modification to the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area A.
The activities contemplated in the present Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the Tax Increment
Financing Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities.
These activities are anticipated to occur over the life of District A -5 and Redevelopment Project Area A.
Subsection 2 -4. Redevelopment Plan Overview
Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within District A -5 may be acquired
by the City or HRA and is further described in this Plan.
2. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary
legal requirements, the City or HRA may sell to a developer selected properties that they
may acquire within District A -5 or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
3. The City or HRA may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition,
construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public streets work within
District A -5.

The City and HRA, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended, inclusive, finds that District A -5, to be established, is a
redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1) as defined below:
(a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of
a project, or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one
of the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
(1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the
buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance; or
(2) The property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or
infrequently used railyards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad
rights -of -way.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify
substantial renovation or clearance.
(c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable

Subsection 2 -6.
Classification of Tax Increment Financing District A -5
The City and HRA, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended, inclusive, finds that District A -5, to be established, is a
redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1) as defined below:
(a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of
a project, or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one
of the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
(1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the
buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance; or
(2) The property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or
infrequently used railyards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad
rights -of -way.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify
substantial renovation or clearance.
(c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5 A2 -3
to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15
percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the
site. The mu kat ality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard
under the p�e n entence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size,
type, artdcge of ih ilding, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs or
other stmi ,A eliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without
an,int War Uit pection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal
reparectf the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the
ropFert} is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable
access to the property after using its best e ff orts to obtain permission from the party that
S din
ns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion
*E'that the building is structurally substandard...
y
(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
improvements until 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains improvements.
(f) For districts consisting of two or more noncontiguous areas, each area must qualify as a
redevelopment district under paragraph (a) to be included in the district, and the entire are of
the district must satisfy paragraph (a).
In meeting the statutory criteria described above, the City and HRA rely on the following facts and findings:
■ District A -5 is a redevelopment district consisting of 53 parcels.
■ An inventory of the parcels shows that at least 70 percent of the area of District A -5 consists of parcels
in District A -5 that are occupied as defined in the TIF Act. An inspection of the buildings located
within District A -5 finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard as
defined in the TIF Act. Because District A -5 is a scattered site redevelopment district, each parcel
qualifies individually. (See Appendix D)
Subsection 2 -7. Original Tax Capacity and Tax Rate
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for District A -5 is based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in
1998 for taxes payable 1999.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
in the payment year 1999) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. change in tax exempt status of property;
2. reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. change due to adjustments, negotiated or court- ordered abatements;
4. change in the use of the property and classification;
5. change in state law governing class rates; or
6. change in connection with previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity value of District A -5 declines below the ONTC, no value
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the City or HRA.
It is expected that the original local tax rate for District A -5 will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 1999.
The estimate below is proposed payable 1998.
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5 A2 -4
The Original Tax Capacity and the Original Local Tax Rate for District A -5 appear in the table below.
,Original Tax Capacity Value $31,111

P�xrsuan to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
C IurNet Tax Capacity (CTC) of District A -5, within Redevelopment Project Area A, upon completion
of the project, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The City and
HRA request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current
expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2000. The project tax capacity listed is an estimate of values
when the project is completed.

Original Estimated Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) 31,111
Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC) 71,189
Estimated Annual Tax Increment
(CTC x Local Tax Rate) $97,878
Subsection 2 -9. Property To Be Acquired
The City or HRA may acquire any parcel within District A -5 including interior and adjacent street rights of
way. The parcels are listed in Subsection 2 -5.
Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the City or HRA only in order to
accomplish one or more of the following: carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or
development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan.
2. The following are conditions under which properties not designated to be acquired may be acquired:
The City or HRA may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from
willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this tax increment financing plan. Such acquisitions
will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs.
Subsection 2 -10. Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for District A -5 is a proposal to facilitate the demolition of substandard houses
and enable families to construct new houses on the lots. The City and HRA have determined that it will be
necessary to provide assistance to the project for certain costs. The City has studied the feasibility of the
development or redevelopment of property in and around District A -5. To facilitate the establishment and
development or redevelopment of District A -5, this Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay
for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with District
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5 A2 -5
5-3(p
A -5 over the life of the district is outlined in the following table.
Uses of Funds Per House Total
65,000 $3,575,000
,TZemolition/Grading) 10,000 550,000
Est 23,539 1,294,620
inistrative Costs (up to 10 %) 5,000 275,000
TOTAL $103,539 $5,694,620
Eimate �cbsts associated with District A -5 are subject to change. The cost of all activities to be considered
ftax crement financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the
apm8able statutory requirements. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, no more than 25 percent of
the tax increment paid by property within District A -5 will be spent on activities related to development or
redevelopment outside of District A -5 but within the boundaries of Redevelopment Project Area A, (including
administrative costs, which are considered to be spent outside of District A -5) subject to the limitations as
described in this Plan.
Subsection 2 -11. Sources of Revenue/Bonded Indebtedness
Acquisition and site preparation costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the
annual collection of tax increments. The City or HRA reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally
applicable to the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the Plan, including, but not limited to, special
assessments, general property taxes, state aid for road maintenance and construction, proceeds from the sale
of land, other contributions from the developer and investment income, to pay for the estimated public costs.
The City or HRA reserves the right to incur bonded indebtedness or other indebtedness as a result of the Plan.
As presently proposed, the project may be financed by a bond issue or loans. Additional indebtedness may
be required to finance other authorized activities. The total principal amount of bonded indebtedness or other
indebtedness related to the use of tax increment financing will not exceed without a modification to the Plan
pursuant to applicable statutory requirements.
This provision does not obligate the City or HRA to incur debt. The City or HRA may issue bonds or incur
other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The City or HRA
may also finance the activities to be undertaken pursuant to the Plan through loans from funds of the City or
HRA.
The estimated sources of funds for District A -5 over the life of the district are contained in the table below.

1. taxed b}ie captured net tax capacity, but excluding any excess taxes, as computed under
tkSSet n 469.177;
2.

with tax increments;
repayments of loans or other advances made by the authority with tax increments; and
4. interest or other investment earnings on or from tax increments.
Silas 'oetion 2 -13. Duration of Tax Increment Financing District A -5
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration of District A -5 must
be indicated within the Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. I (b), the duration of District A -5 will
be 25 years from the date of receipt of the first increment by the City or HRA. The date of receipt by the City
of Richfield of the first tax increment will be approximately 2000. Thus, it is estimated that District A -5,
including any modifications of the Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2024,
or when the Plan is satisfied. The City or HRA does reserve the right to decertify District A -5 prior to the
legally required date.
Subsection 2 -14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction which would have occurred without
the creation of District A -5. If the construction is a result of tax increment financing, the impact is $0 to other
entities. Notwithstanding, the fact that the fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions is $0 due to the fact
that the construction would not have occurred without the assistance of the City or HRA, the following
estimated impact of District A -5 would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:

which were unavailable at the time this Plan was prepared.
Subsection 2 -15. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
The City or HRA shall, after due and diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County
Auditor or its notice of District A -5 enlargement with a listing of all properties within District A -5 or area of
enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately
preceding approval of the Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County
Auditor shall increase the original value of District A -5 by the value of improvements for which a building
permit was issued.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the City is in the process of reviewing the area to be included

Administration of District A -5 will be handled by the Executive Director of the HRA of the City of Richfield.
Subsection 2 -17. Municipal Approval and Public Purpose
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District
A -5 as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that District A -5 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
10(a)(1).
District A -5 consists of 53 parcels, with plans to redevelop the area for residential purposes. The
Council generally believes that each of the parcels in the District are occupied by buildings, streets,
10 utilities, or other improvements and the buildings in District A -5, not including outbuildings, are
structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. Because District A -5
is a scattered site redevelopment district, each parcel qualifies individually. These findings are based

Subsection 2 -17. Municipal Approval and Public Purpose
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District
A -5 as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that District A -5 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
10(a)(1).
District A -5 consists of 53 parcels, with plans to redevelop the area for residential purposes. The
Council generally believes that each of the parcels in the District are occupied by buildings, streets,
10 utilities, or other improvements and the buildings in District A -5, not including outbuildings, are
structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. Because District A -5
is a scattered site redevelopment district, each parcel qualifies individually. These findings are based
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5 A2 -8
5 /3 I
upon general information about buildings of similar age and construction because building owners did
not consent to interior inspections at this time. Prior to a parcel being certified with Hennepin County,
an interior inspecti mill be conducted to confirm that the redevelopment district criteria have been
met. (See also ,
Apps .D,);
2. Finding that the p,"',' osed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occux sci ely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that
the increased m�ket value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
incr entfnncang would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
pr o`= d development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
taidx " duration of District A -5 permitted by the Plan.
Due to the high cost of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings and
cost of financing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part,
from tax increment financing.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of Tax
Increment Financing District A -5 and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above.
If all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in District A -5,
the total increased market value would be up to $4,313,900 It is the Council's finding that no
development with a market value of greater than $3,161,558 would occur without tax increment
assistance in this district within 25 years. This finding is based upon evidence from general past
experience with the high cost of acquisition and site improvements in the general area of District A -5
(see Cashflow in Appendix Q.
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District A -5 conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Plan will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 27, 1998 in order to find that the
Plan is in conformance with the general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District A -5 will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project Area A by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by District A -5 will result in the renovation of substandard properties,
increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development to the City.
Additional findings are set forth in the Authorizing Resolution of the City.
Subsection 2 -18. Fiscal Disparities Election Election
No commercial/industrial property is expected to be constructed in District A -5.
Subsection 2 -19. State Tax Increment Tax Increment FinancingAid
Pursuant to M.S., Section 273.1399, for tax increment financing districts for which certification was requested
after April 30, 1990, a municipality incurs a reduction in state tax increment financing aid (RISTIFA) applied
to the municipality's Local Government Aids (LGA) first and, Homestead and Agricultural Aid (HACA)
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -5 A2 -9
5' Z/V
second, in an amount equal to a formula based upon the equalized qualifying captured tax capacity (QCTC)
of the tax increment financing,district.
Pursuant to M.S., SMion i 139,,9, Subd. 6, the City or HRA may choose an option to the LGA -HACA
penalty. District A 5 is c Cempt feom the LGA -HACA reduction if the City or HRA elects to make a qualifying
local contribution at they e,of approving the tax increment financing plan. To qualify for the exemption in
each year, the CO ERA "must make a qualifying local contribution to the project of a certain percentage.
A � ,.
The local comb fida"for a redevelopment district is 5 percent. The maximum local contribution for all
districts in thy' ty ' any year is limited to two percent of the City's net tax capacity, after which point the
Cit . u's ake an additional contribution equal to the lesser of (a) 0.25 percent of the City's net tax
capa ,,(b) percent of tax increment revenues for that year.
'e amount of the local contribution must be made out of unrestricted money of the City or HRA, such as the
�I fund, a property tax levy, or a federal or state grant -in -aid which may be spent for general government
purposes. The local contribution may not be made, directly or indirectly, with tax increments or developer
payments. The local contribution must be used to pay project costs and cannot be used for general government
purposes.
The City elects to make the annual local contribution to the project to exempt itself from the LGA -
HACA penalty. The City or HRA will pay for costs of the project described in this Plan, in an amount equal
to 5 percent of annual tax increment for District A -5, subject to the limitations described above, in any year
in which such amount exceeds 2 percent of the City's net tax capacity. Such contribution may be in form of
either lump sum or annual payments (in addition to tax increment payments) towards costs identified in this
• Plan or other costs related to that development or redevelopment. The contribution may also be made in the
form of public improvements financed by the City or HRA or other unit of government with unrestricted funds.
•
Subsection 2 -20. County Road Costs
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. ]a, the county board may require the City or HRA to pay for all or
part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment will,
in the judgement of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of road
improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five years
under a capital improvement plan or other county plan.
In the opinion of the City and HRA and consultants, the proposed development outlined in this Plan will have
little or no impact upon county roads. If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must
notify the City or HRA within thirty days of receipt of this Plan.
Subsection 2 -21. Summary
The City of Richfield is establishing District A -5 to preserve and enhance the tax base, redevelop substandard
areas, and provide employment opportunities in the City. The Tax Increment Financing Plan for District A -5
was prepared by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., 3060 Centre Pointe Drive, Roseville, Minnesota 55402 -4100,

Subsection G. Acquisition and Relocation Activities
Acquisition
In furtherance of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, HRA staff maintained standards set forth in
previous years to identify property for acquisition. In its sequential numbering system, this is Cycle V in the
housing program. As in the past, residential property owners were contacted and surveyed to determine (a.)
whether or not they continued to express an interest in selling their property on a voluntary basis and (b.) if
interested, within which time frame. Additional means of obtaining candidate properties were made by (a.)
property owners contacting the HRA requesting that their property be considered for the program and (b.)
referrals by the City's health and inspections department. Candidate properties were further evaluated for
program eligibility and inspected. The properties identified for acquisition under Cycle V of the program are
listed in Appendix A of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B -5.
R (-.lncntinn
The HRA accepts as binding its obligations under provisions of federal and state law (M.S., Chapter 1] 7) for
relocation.

Subsection 2 -1.
SECTION II
J'S
PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT B -5
The City of Richfield '(1,03,,,t the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA "), staff and
consultants have,prepatde following information to expedite the establishment of Tax Increment Financing
District B -5 rtilct 5 "), a redevelopment tax increment financing district, located in Redevelopment
Project Ark
Statutory Authority
'M thin the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or
J& to occur. To this end, the City and HRA have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes ( "M.S. "), Sections 469.001 through 469.047, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174
through 469.179, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF Act "), to assist in
financing public costs related to this project.
This Section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan ") for District B -5. Other relevant
information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area B.
Subsection 2 -3. Statement of Objectives
District B -5 currently consists of 29 parcels of land and adjacent and internal rights -of -way. District B -5 is
iscreated to facilitate the demolition of substandard houses and enable families to construct new houses on the
lots through a program known as Richfield Rediscovered, which is administered by the HRA. Currently
District B -5 consists of 29 lots with the potential for a total of 30 new homes to be constructed, including
double lots. Due to the voluntary nature and timing of the sale of the homes included in District B -5, it is
likely that some of the parcels will not be redeveloped or will be included in subsequent tax increment
financing districts. The budget for District B -5 found in Subsection 2 -10 does assume that 30 new homes are
built. This plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Modification to the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area B.
The activities contemplated in the present Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the Tax Increment
Financing Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities.

Subsection 2 -6. Classification of Tax Increment Financing District B -5
The City and HRA, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended, inclusive, finds that District B -5, to be established, is a
redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10(a)(1) as defined below:
(a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of
a project, or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one
of the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B -5 132 -2
5_5
(1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the
building, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
r ,quiptn ubsttintial renovation or clearance; or
(2) Th property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or
tnfrequently used railyards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad
�raghts of -way.
Fo purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
suctural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify
substantial renovation or clearance.
(c) A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable
to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15
percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the
site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard
under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size,
type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs or
other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without
an interior inspection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal
prepared of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the
property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable
to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that
owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion
that the building is structurally substandard...
(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
improvements until 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains improvements.
(f) For districts consisting of two or more noncontiguous areas, each area must qualify as a
redevelopment district under paragraph (a) to be included in the district, and the entire are of
the district must satisfy paragraph (a).
In meeting the statutory criteria described above, the City and HRA rely on the following facts and findings:
• District B -5 is a redevelopment district consisting of 29 parcels.
• An inventory of the parcels shows that at least 70 percent of the area of District B -5 consists of parcels
in District B -5 that are occupied as defined in the TIF Act. An inspection of the buildings located
within District B -5 finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard as
defined in the TIF Act. Because District B -5 is a scattered site redevelopment district, each parcel
qualifies individually. (See Appendix D)
Subsection 2 -7. Original Tax Capacity and Tax Rate
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for District B -5 is based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in
Richfield HRA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B -5 132 -3
5/5
1998 for taxes payable 1999.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 4§i,
in the payment year 19991 tli+
77, Subds. I and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
lnotnt by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. change to tox exempt status of property;
2. redue! or'enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. cane d to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4.�haige,tn the use of the property and classification;

I i�' year in which the current Net Tax Capacity value of District B -5 declines below the ONTO, no value
v�l'lbeweaptured and no tax increment will be payable to the City or HRA.
It is expected that the original local tax rate for District B -5 will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 1999.
The estimate below is proposed payable 1998.
The Original Tax Capacity and the Original Local Tax Rate for District B -5 appear in the table below.
Original Tax Capacity Value $18,618
Percent Retained by City 100%
Original Local Tax Rate 1.37491
Subsection 2 -8. Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity Value/Increment
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of District B -5, within Redevelopment Project Area B, upon completion
of the project, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The City and
HRA request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current
expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2000. The project tax capacity listed is an estimate of values
when the project is completed.

Subsection 2 -9. Property To Be Acquired
The City or HRA may acquire any parcel within District B -5 including interior and adjacent street rights of
way. The parcels are listed in Subsection 2 -5.
1. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the City or HRA only in order to
accomplish one or more of the following: carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or
development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan.

2. The following are conditions under which properties not designated to be acquired may be acquired:
The City or HRA may' acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from
do
willing sellers t; orderwt c. eve the objectives of this tax increment financing plan. Such acquisitions
will be unde -only en there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs.
Currently der `' sderation for District B -5 is a proposal to facilitate the demolition of substandard houses
and e�bl I s to construct new houses on the lots. The City and HRA have determined that it will be
nece o provide assistance to the project for certain costs. The City has studied the feasibility of the
develop t or redevelopment of property in and around District B -5. To facilitate the establishment and
=1�z ent or redevelopment of District B -5, this Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay
st of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with District
B -5 over the life of the district is outlined in the following table.

Estimated costs associated with District B -5 are subject to change. The cost of all activities to be considered
for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the
applicable statutory requirements. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, no more than 25 percent of
the tax increment paid by property within District B -5 will be spent on activities related to development or
redevelopment outside of District B -5 but within the boundaries of Redevelopment Project Area B, (including
administrative costs, which are considered to be spent outside of District B -5) subject to the limitations as
described in this Plan.
Subsection 2 -11. Sources of Revenue/Bonded Indebtedness
Acquisition and site preparation costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the
annual collection of tax increments. The City or HRA reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally
applicable to the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the Plan, including, but not limited to, special
assessments, general property taxes, state aid for road maintenance and construction, proceeds from the sale
of land, other contributions from the developer and investment income, to pay for the estimated public costs.
The City or HRA reserves the right to incur bonded indebtedness or other indebtedness as a result of the Plan.
As presently proposed, the project may be financed by a bond issue or loans. Additional indebtedness may
be required to finance other authorized activities. The total principal amount of bonded indebtedness or other
indebtedness related to the use of tax increment financing will not exceed without a modification to the Plan
pursuant to applicable statutory requirements.
This provision does not obligate the City or HRA to incur debt. The City or HRA may issue bonds or incur
other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The City or HRA

Subsection 2 -12. Definition of Tax Increment Revenues
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, tax increment revenues derived from a tax increment financing
district include all of the following potential revenue sources:
1. taxes paid by the captured net tax capacity, but excluding any excess taxes, as computed under
M.S., Section 469.177;
2. the proceeds from the sale or lease of property, tangible or intangible, purchased by the authority
with tax increments;
3. repayments of loans or other advances made by the authority with tax increments; and
4. interest or other investment earnings on or from tax increments.
Subsection 2 -13. Duration of Tax Increment Financing District B -5
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration of District B -5 must
be indicated within the Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1(b), the duration of District B -5 will
be 25 years from the date of receipt of the first increment by the City or HRA. The date of receipt by the City
of Richfield of the first tax increment will be approximately 2000. Thus, it is estimated that District B -5,
including any modifications of the Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2024,
or when the Plan is satisfied. The City or HRA does reserve the right to decertify District B -5 prior to the
legally required date.
Subsection 2 -14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction which would have occurred without
the creation of District B -5. If the construction is a result of tax increment financing, the impact is $0 to other
entities. Notwithstanding, the fact that the fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions is $0 due to the fact
that the construction would not have occurred without the assistance of the City or HRA, the following
estimated impact of District B -5 would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:

Subsection 2 -15. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
The City or HRA shall, after due and diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County

B -5 as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that District B -5 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
10(a)(1).
District B -5 consists of 29 parcels, with plans to redevelop the area for residential purposes. The
Council generally believes that each of the parcels in the District are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, or other improvements and the buildings in District B -5, not including outbuildings, are
structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. Because District B -5
is a scattered site redevelopment district, each parcel qualifies individually. These findings are based
upon general information about buildings of similar age and construction because building owners did
not consent to interior inspections at this time. Prior to a parcel being certified with Hennepin County,
an interior inspection will be conducted to confirm that the redevelopment district criteria have been
met. (See also Appendix D)
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that
the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of District B -5 permitted by the Plan.
Due to the high cost of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings and
the cost of financing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part,
from tax increment financing.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of Tax
Increment Financing District B -5 and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above.
If all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur. in District B -5,
the total increased market value would be up to $2,188,200 It is the Council's finding that no
development with a market value of greater than $1,586,332 would occur without tax increment
assistance in this district within 25 years. This finding is based upon evidence from general past
experience with the high cost of acquisition and site improvements in the general area of District B -5
(see Cashflow in Appendix Q.
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District B -5 conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Plan will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 27, 1998 in order to find the Plan
in conformance with the general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District B -5 will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project Area B by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by District B -5 will result in the renovation of substandard properties,
increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development to the City.
9 Additional findings are set forth in the Authorizing Resolution of the City.

Subsection 2 -19.
Pursuant to M.Sevn X3.1399, for tax increment financing districts for which certification was requested
after Apri130, 3 90, anunicipality incurs a reduction in state tax increment financing aid (RISTIFA) applied
to the mu ru p�tyI,ocal Government Aids (LGA) first and, Homestead and Agricultural Aid (HACA)
secc3hd} mrri unt equal to a formula based upon the equalized qualifying captured tax capacity (QCTC)
of thetas,ncrnent financing district.
P#J, ' M.S., Section 273.1399, Subd. 6, the City or HRA may choose an option to the LGA -HACA
p District B -5 is exempt from the LGA -HACA reduction if the City or HRA elects to make a qualifying
local contribution at the time of approving the tax increment financing plan. To qualify for the exemption in
each year, the City or HRA must make a qualifying local contribution to the project of a certain percentage.
The local contribution for a redevelopment district is 5 percent. The maximum local contribution for all
districts in the City in any year is limited to two percent of the City's net tax capacity, after which point the
City or HRA must make an additional contribution equal to the lesser of (a) 0.25 percent of the City's net tax
capacity or (b) 3 percent of tax increment revenues for that year.
The amount of the local contribution must be made out of unrestricted money of the City or HRA, such as the
general fund, a property tax levy, or a federal or state grant -in -aid which may be spent for general government
purposes. The local contribution may not be made, directly or indirectly, with tax increments or developer
payments. The local contribution must be used to pay project costs and cannot be used for general government
purposes.
The City elects to make the annual local contribution to the project to exempt itself from the LGA -
HACA penalty. The City or HRA will pay for costs of the project described in this Plan, in an amount equal
to 5 percent of annual tax increment for District B -5, subject to the limitations described above, in any year
in which such amount exceeds 2 percent of the City's net tax capacity. Such contribution may be in form of
either lump sum or annual payments (in addition to tax increment payments) towards costs identified in this
Plan or other costs related to that development or redevelopment. The contribution may also be made in the
form of public improvements financed by the City or HRA or other unit of government with unrestricted funds.
Subsection 2 -20. County Road Costs
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. ]a, the county board may require the City or HRA to pay for all or
part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment will,
in the judgement of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of road
improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five years
under a capital improvement plan or other county plan.
In the opinion of the City and HRA and consultants, the proposed development outlined in this Plan will have
little or no impact upon county roads. If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must
notify the City or HRA within thirty days of receipt of this Plan.

Modification to the. Tax Increment_ Financing Plan for
Tax Increment Financing District A -1
February 23, 1998
The following text represents a modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District A -1. The modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan represents a continuation of the goals and
objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A" ( "Project Area A ") and
the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -1 ( "District A -1 ") as originally
adopted by the City Council on July 23, 1990 and modified from time to time since that date. District A -1 is
a redevelopment tax increment financing district which provides funding sources for the Richfield Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA ") to acquire structurally substandard single family homes, demolish
the homes, and resell the lots for construction of a new homestead property. District A -1 is allowed to collect
tax increments from the new homes for up to 25 years. Generally, the substantive changes in the current
modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan include the clarification of budgets to meet new formats for
financial reporting for tax increment, clarification of the indebtedness for District A -1, and identification of
the parcels which have been certified in District A -1 by address, parcel identification numbers, and Hennepin
County project number. This modification is not increasing the size of District A -1, increasing the total

further information, a review of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District A -1
is recommended. They are available from the Richfield HRA.
Section D. Description of Property in the Tax Increment Financing District
Due to the nature of the Richfield Rediscovered program, the parcels which were included in the original tax
increment financing plan was a potential list of properties to be included in District A -1 rather than a definitive
list of properties to be certified. Certification of properties was requested only when the HRA acquired the
parcel. Because the acquisition of parcels occurred over a multi -year period, Hennepin County certified the
individual parcels with separate county project numbers or as a modification /expansion to the original tax
increment plan.
Below is a chart which includes the tax increment financing parcels included in District A -1. All of the parcels
included in District A -1 were listed in the original tax increment plan and are not modifications to District A -1.

$1,000,000 of inter -fund loan proceeds from the City's sanitary sewer fund, water fund, and the HRA's LHN
tax increment fund ($333,333 per fund) were authorized to finance the activities of District A -1 and Tax
Increment Financing District B -1. Given the relative size of the original budgets for each of the tax increment

' Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
Tax Increment Financing District B -1
February 23, 1998
The following text represents a modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District B -1. The modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan represents a continuation of the goals and
objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A" ( "Project Area A ") and
the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B -1 ( "District B -1 ") as originally
adopted by the City Council on July 23, 1990 and modified from time to time since that date. District B -I is
a redevelopment tax increment financing district which provides funding sources for the Richfield Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA ") to acquire structurally substandard single family homes, demolish
the homes, and resell the lots for construction of a new homestead property. District B -1 is allowed to collect
tax increments from the new homes for up to 25 years. Generally, the substantive changes in the current
modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan include the clarification of budgets to meet new formats for
financial reporting for tax increment, clarification of the indebtedness for District B -1, and identification of
the parcels which have been certified in District B -I by address, parcel identification numbers, and Hennepin
County project number. This modification is not increasing the size of District B -1, increasing the total
amount of the budget for District B -1, nor increasing the total amount of indebtedness for District B -1. For
further information, a review of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B-1
is recommended. They are available from the Richfield HRA.

Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
Tax Increment Financing District B -3
February 23, 1998
The following text represents a modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District B -3. The modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan represents a continuation of the goals and
objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A" ( "Project Area A ") and
the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B -3 ( "District B -3") as originally
adopted by the City Council on June 20, 1994, and modified from time to time since that date. District B -3 is
a redevelopment tax increment financing district which provides funding sources for the Richfield Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA ") to acquire structurally substandard single family homes, demolish
the homes, and resell the lots for construction of a new homestead property. District B -3 is allowed to collect
tax increments from the new homes for up to 25 years. Generally, the substantive changes in the current
modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan include the clarification of budgets to meet new formats for
financial reporting for tax increment, clarification of the indebtedness for District B -3, and identification of
the parcels which have been certified in District B -3 by address, parcel identification numbers, and Hennepin
County project number. This modification is not increasing the size of District B -3, increasing the total
amount of the budget for District B -3, nor increasing the total amount of indebtedness for District B -3. For
further information, a review of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District B -3
is recommended. They are available from the Richfield HRA.
Section D. Description of Property in the Tax Increment Financing District
Due to the nature of the Richfield Rediscovered program, the parcels which were included in the original tax
increment financing plan was a potential list of properties to be included in District B -3 rather than a definitive
list of properties to be certified. Certification of properties was requested only when the HRA acquired the
parcel. Because the acquisition of parcels occurred over a multi -year period, Hennepin County certified the
individual parcels with separate county project numbers or as a modification /expansion to the original tax
increment plan.
Below is a chart which includes the tax increment financing parcels included in District B -3. All of the parcels
included in District B -3 were listed in the original tax increment plan and are not modifications to District B -3.
It is not expected that additional parcels will be certified to Hennepin County to be included in District B -3:

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 41
Agenda February 23, 1998
Issue Statement:
Consideration of an application for a new residential kennel license for Suzanne and
Thomas Erickson, 7144 Oliver Avenue.
Background:
On December 10, 1997, Suzanne Erickson submitted an application for a residential
kennel license. She owns three dogs. Mrs. Erickson's application contains the
signatures of contiguous property owners.
On January 22, 1998, an inspection of the property was conducted by a Community
Service Officer. There were no apparent problems found at that time.
The City has adopted a policy that staff notify neighbors surrounding the area of the
residential kennel license. Staff received one call from a neighbor at 7138 Oliver
Avenue who said one of the dogs had "nipped" him on a previous occasion. He also
mentioned some concern regarding the barking and slight odor. He did, however, also
say that he thought the Ericksons were making a conscious effort to correct any
problems and that he was informed they would be constructing a privacy fence in the
spring to curb any further problems.
Although this application is for three dogs, it does not exceed the maximum number of
six animals that was approved by the Council as policy on July 22, 1991.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that the application for a residential kennel license be approved.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is up to the animal owner to prove that the keeping of more than two dogs does
not have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Mrs. Erickson has been able to
do this.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to deny Mrs. Erickson's residential kennel license. This
would mean that she would have to reduce the number of dogs she has from
three to two.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Recommendation to approve the application for a residential kennel license for
Suzanne and Thomas Erickson, 7144 Oliver Avenue, is presented for Council
consideration at this time.

Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that the Council pass a resolution approving the gambling activity
requested by the applicant in accordance with Richfield City Code 1100. 13, sub. 6.

1. The applicant has complied with the State Statutes and City Code pertaining to
lawful gambling.
2. The applicant has submitted the request within 60 days of the renewal of the
license.
3. The applicant has demonstrated that the gambling activity requested is a benefit
to the community.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 38
Agenda February 23, 1998
Issue Statement:
Consideration of concept approval for Hennepin County cooperative effort for the
replacement of voting equipment.
Background:
In 1985, a City /County Task Force was formed to consider the feasibility of countywide
standardization of voting equipment. The research and recommendations of that task
force resulted in the City purchase of the Optech IIIP optical scan precinct voting
equipment. Another important result of this effort was the county purchase of
equipment and software to provide no -cost programming services to cities on an on-
going basis. This cooperative effort resulted in reduced costs and more efficient
elections.
The voting equipment is now over ten years old. In this era of ever changing computer
technology and increased election responsibilities, it is appropriate to investigate the
new alternatives, and improvements available.
A City /County Task Force was activated in early 1997 to consider the possibility of a
countywide replacement and upgrade. City Clerk Tom Ferber served as a member of
the task force. After investigation of various equipment and system alternatives, the
task force found justification for a countywide replacement and upgrade of the voting
equipment. The task force identified the capital costs as a major problem for cities in
achieving a countywide uniform replacement of voting equipment. It was envisioned
that a replacement plan could require a two to four year process in order to allow cities
time to set aside funding for the capital equipment purchase. For example, Richfield's
current voting equipment was purchased with $60,000 from the City's Special Revenue
Fund.
Discussion of this issue provided an opportunity to develop a new county /city
cooperative concept to address not only the current need for upgrading voting
equipment, but also a strategy to upgrade or replace voting equipment in the future.
The county financing proposal is the key to this strategy. Richfield commends the
Hennepin County Board and staff for initiating this innovative, collaborative idea.
Hennepin County is utilizing its statutory authority to bond for the countywide purchase
of election equipment, contingent upon the participation of all cities in the county.
The full details of the voting equipment system and how it will operate will not be known
until a contract is awarded to a successful bidder. However, the concept to implement
40 a new countywide voting system is a follows:

1. The new precinct optical scan units will be owned by the county. The equipment
will be provided to cities with 0 city capital outlay requirement. Use of the
equipment will remain at the city's discretion, as long as the equipment is utilized
for government or government related purposes.
2. The ownership of the existing city Optech IIIP equipment will be transferred to the
county for trade -in consideration on purchase of the new equipment.
3. All cities in the county will be covered by a countywide service agreement with the
successful bidder. The county will enter into a contract for this service agreement,
"up- front" the costs, and assess a pro -rated per unit cost back to each city to be
reimbursed to the county on an annual basis. The actual costs or details will not be
known until the contract is awarded; however, the per unit costs on a countywide
basis is anticipated to be lower than those the City currently pays for its annual
vendor maintenance contract for voting equipment.
4. The City and county will enter into a user agreement which will include the
conditions identified above.
5. The county will establish a depreciation fund mechanism to provide for future
funding availability for voting equipment replacement in eight to ten years if
justified.
The county is requesting that cities give written approval of ONLY the concept outlined
above. Approval of this concept from every city in the county is necessary at this time,
as countywide involvement is the most critical element in the success of this
cooperative concept. The City Council would be requested to give final approval in the
form of a user agreement which will be provided to the City following the bidding
process.
Recommended Motion:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to notify Hennepin County that it
approves the voting equipment concept as presented and that it acknowledge that a
formal user agreement will be requested following the county's award of a contract.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City will not have to pay the capital costs to acquire new voting equipment.
The estimated capital costs for the City would be about $80,000 if the City were to
purchase voting equipment on its own. The county financing and ownership of the
voting equipment would mean no requirement for City funding.
2. The City's annual fee paid to the county under the user agreement could be lower
than what the City is currently paying for the voting equipment maintenance
contract with a vendor. The exact amount will depend on the bids received and the
cost of the countywide contract.

3. The City would continue to receive equipment programming and related services at
no cost to the City. The City would have to pay about $500 per election if
programming was provided by the vendor.
4. Countywide uniformity of voting equipment will continue with the ability to upgrade
or replace equipment in the future to respond to advances in technology or law
changes.
5. The use of the equipment will remain at the discretion and control of the City. The
City could still allow the use of the voting equipment for a school district election as
it has done at times in the past.
6. New voting equipment would provide several advantages over the existing
equipment (i.e. increased capacity of ballot to eliminate two ballot situation, remote
wireless transmit of results direct from the precinct, automated countywide
accumulation of results, and other technological improvements).
7. The existing equipment has little or no market value for resale as with any computer
equipment that is over ten years old. Transferring the equipment to the county for
trade -in consideration and receiving new replacement equipment appears to be a
very prudent decision.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City could decide to not participate in the countywide concept. The City would then
be solely responsible for all future capital costs, service contract costs, and
programming costs for voting equipment. Costs would be significantly higher, and if the
City were to purchase equipment on their own the economy from the county volume
purchase would not be available.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Hennepin County has requested that concept approval from cities be submitted no later
than February 27, 1998.
