CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. ls5
Agenda July 10, -1995
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution approving special legislation authorizing the establishment
by the HRA of holding corporations for the Sage property.
Background:
The Minnesota Legislature during its 1995 session,approved special legislation for the
City of Richfield (attached). Before the legislation can be implemented, it must be
approved by the Gity Council
The legislation would make it possible for the HRA to establish and organize three
separate nonprofit housing corporations. The HRA Board would form the board of
directors of each of the three corporations.
Each of the three apartment communities has a mortgage insured by FHA. The most
cost effective way for the HRA to own the debt is to become the mortgagor. FHA
policy, however, requires that each mortgage be owned by a single asset organization,
the single asset being the mortgage.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution which approves the special legislation..
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The most cost effective way for the HRA to own the existing debt is to assume the
.existing mortgages.
2. State Statute requires that the local governing body approve special legislation
before it may be implemented.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Delay approve.
2. Refuse approval..
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item and its desirability was discussed at the HRA meeting on June 19, 1995. It is
an integral part of the process for the HRA to consider becoming the owner of the. Sage
property

Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution regarding findings of facts .related to the denial of a
commercial kennel license to Joel D. Locketz, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, at 710
West .66th Street.
Background:
At the June 26 regular Council meeting, Dr. Joel D. Locketz's application for a
commercial kennel license was reconsidered by the Council. The applicant-proposed to
work out of the Pet Food Warehouse, .710 West 66th Street. Dr. Locketz's affiliation
with Pet Food Warehouse would be that of a leasee for space to conduct routine
wellness exams and certain. preventative inoculations to dogs and cats.
The Council reviewed the independent hearing examiner's recommendations and
testimony from area veterinarians and other interested parties.
After Council discussion, the, license was denied-and the City Attorney was instructed to
prepare the findings of facts in support of the denial.
Helen Winder, the attorney for Dr. Joel Locketz, .has requested an opportunity to
address the City Council at the July 10 meeting.
Recommended Motion:

facts, for the denial be drafted and acted upon.
Alternative. Recommendation:
1: The Council may wish other facts included in the findings.
2. The Council could decide to reconsider the license request. However, it would be
appropriate to notify the persons who expressed .interest in this -issue prior to the
reconsideration so that their concerns could be expressed.

RESOLUTION NO.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND DECISION REGARDING APPLICATION FOR
COMMERCIAL KENNEL LICENSE AT 710 WEST 66TH STREET
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Richfield, as follows:
The City Council hereby makes the following findings of fact.
FINDINGS OF-FACT
1. The City of Richfield (the "City") regulates, by ordinance, certain commercial
activities involving dogs and cats.
2. The primary source of such regulations is contained in subsection 905.31
which requires the issuance of a commercial kennel license as a precondition. to
engaging in "the business of selling, boarding, breeding, showing., treating or grooming
dogs or cats..."
3. On or about March 28, 1994, the City received an application for a
commercial kennel license (the "Application") from Joel D. Locketz, D.V.M. (the
"Applicant"). The specific activity for which licensure was sought was the vaccination of
dogs and cats at 710 West 66th Street.
4. The Applicant was proposing to sublease space at that address from Pet
Food Warehouse.
5. The Application came before the City Council for review and action at its
April 25, 1994 meeting. Following a public hearing, the City Council voted to deny the
application.
6. At its May 9, 1994 meeting, the City Council reopened its review of the
matter in order to consider adoption of findings of fact. The City Council at that. time
was unable to agree on findings of fact. Accordingly, the matter was referred to a
hearing officer who would conduct further inquiry, hold further hearings and report to
the City Council
7. At its June 26, 1995 meeting, the City Council once again considered the
application. Before it on that date were the findings, conclusions and recommendation
of the hearing examiner.
8. The Applicant was present at the June 26, 1995 meeting, along with the
Applicant's legal representative, and was given an opportunity to present information
and respond to inquiries or to comments from others who were present and gave
information.
~ -3
9. The Application was opposed by a number of individuals, including
individuals were engaged in the practice of veterinary medicine in the area, and such
individuals were given the opportunity to provide both written and oral information to the
City Council
10. -The area where the'licensed activity is proposed to occur is a strip type
shopping center located at the intersection of 66th Street and Lyndale. The center,
which has been open for business for less than 10 years, has been very successful in
terms of the volumes of traffic and patrons it has attracted. The center. is served by a
large common parking area which lies in front of the shops. The .parking area is
frequently near maximum capacity. The shopping center also houses a restaurant.
11. Pet Food Warehouse, the tenant and principal occupant of the premises,
operates a retail outlet at this location. One of the special features of the Pet Food
Warehouse operation is that customers are encouraged to bring their pets with them
when they shop. Applicant's activity would be conducted in a portion. of the .premises
which has separate entrances and exits; hovuever, neither the Applicant nor the
operators of Pet Food Warehouse. indicated any plans to restrict entrance and exit to
the vaccination clinic from the store.
12. The shopping center which would .house the proposed activity is part of an
area which is zoned Planned Multiple Residential (PMR). The City .Council is given.
great latitude in reviewing proposals for uses within. PUD districts, and is given
discretion to plan the assemblage and combination of uses in a manner which would
not be available to it in traditional zoning districts. Section 530.05 of the Richfield
Ordinance Code provides in relevant part
"530.05.. Integrated design: The PUD will consist of a
harmonious selection of use in grouping of buildings,
services, parking areas, traffic and pedestrian
circulation and open spaces and shall be planned and
designed as an integrated unit."
II. The City Council hereby makes the following conclusions.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The uses of land are regulated primarily through zoning ,and licensing. The
two forms of regulation should be viewed as complimentary to one another. Both- are
intended to preserve, protect and promote the public health, safety and welfare. The
Council concludes that the activity for which the proposed license is required will
contribute to the intensification of a pattern of uses at shopping center which poses
significant difficulties. in integration and harmonization. At best, excessive monitoring
~O-~
and enforcement activities may be required, at worst, hard to the public safety and
welfare and economic damage to the shopping center may result.
2. The Council is concerned that permitting the licensed activity to occur at a
location which uses one of the busiest parking lots and at one of the busiest
intersections of the city, may create risks to .public safety. Notwithstanding existing
leash and restraint regulations in the city, some owners of pets do on occasion allow
their pets to be at large. The risk. of injury or harm is magnified in the close confines of
the busy parking area which would serve the licensed activity..
3. The Council is further concerned that permitting the licensed activity at the
proposed location may create risks to public health. Because of the size of the parking
area, the prompt removal of animal feces will be very difficult. Permitting the licensed
activity would heighten the risk that animal feces may be tracked into the center's
restaurant and the potential for food contamination.
4. Although the clinic is proposed to only vaccinate well animals, the.
availability of a veterinarian may prompt individuals to bring in sick animals for
examination.. This will have the. effect of exposing the other animals at Pet Food
Warehouse and products which are'sold there to illness.
III. Based upon the foregoing, each of which serves as an independently adequate
basis,. the Council hereby makes the following decision.
DECISION
The Application for a commercial kennel license by Joel D. Locketz, DVM to
allow the vaccination of animals at 710 West 66th Street is hereby in all respects
~~•

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 183
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and consideration of resolution approving Richfield Rediscovered
Housing Program dated May 15, 1995.
Background:
Richfield Rediscovered has been in operation since 1991.. During late winter and spring
1995, staff undertook the following:
• Contacted approximately 165 property owners that have residential property valued
at less than $58,000 by the assessor to determine their interest in selling.
• Inspected at the owner's request, 36 sites to determine program eligibility.
• Initiated more detailed inspections and appraisals of approximately 15 properties in
preparation for possible purchase.
On May 22, 1995, the HRA approved modification to the Richfield Rediscovered
Program as follows:
• Modification No. 4 to the Redevelopment Plans for Redevelopment Project Areas
"A" and "B";
• Modification No. 1 to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment
Redevelopment Districts "A-3" and "B-3"; and
• Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Redevelopment Districts "A-4"
and B"-4".
The proposed 1995-96 Richfield Rediscovered Program would accomplish the
following:
• Purchase and demolish 12 to 15 substandard homes.
• Provide 12 to 15 new homes valued in a range of $110,000 to $160,000.
• Generate land proceeds which returns approximately one-half of the HRA's
appropriation after the initial year. Land proceeds and subsequent tax increment
related to the 1995-96 program would support HRA remodeling and transformation
activities.
• Provide a new construction relocation resource for New Ford Town and Rich Acres
residents. To date, four new homes have been purchased by New Ford Town and
Rich Acres residents. Currently, three additional families are exploring new
construction.
To continue the program, it is necessary for the City Council to approve the program
modifications. The Redevelopment Plans and Tax Increment Financing Plans under
the proposed modification are attached for review. The text of the modifications for the
d`-~
1995-96 Program, known as Cycle 4, are essentially the same as past modifications.
The reason modifications must be made is to alter the list of properties which may be
purchased. Some property previously identified is deleted because it is no longer
available; other property newly identified is added. Pages A-1 through A-3 and B-1
though B-2 are a composite list of all property from which those to be purchased would
be taken. As the financial resources available from the HRA are limited, approximately
12 to 15 properties may be purchased. Therefore, the balance of properties remain as
qualifying candidates for acquisition when additional funding becomes available. Most
of east Richfield is encompassed in Redevelopment Project Area "A". Most of west
Richfield is encompassed in Redevelopment Project Area "B". For easy readability, the
page numbering of each section is prefixed by the type of modification. For example,
the modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A" is
page numbered A-1, A-2, etc. while the page numbering for the new Tax Increment
Financing Plan for Tax Increment District A-4 is page numbered A-4-1, A-4-2, etc.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution approving Modification No. 4 to the Redevelopment Plans
for Redevelopment Project Areas "A" and "B"; Modification No. 1 to the Tax Increment
Financing Plans for Tax Increment Redevelopment Districts "A-3" and "B-3"; and
approving Tax Increment Financing Plans establishing Tax Increment Redevelopment
Districts "A-4" and "B-4"; and, by reference, also approving a modification to the
Richfield Redevelopment Project Plan and Tax Increment Plan.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Richfield Rediscovered is a proven redevelopment program. To be successful,
the momentum of the program must be continued.
2. The Planning Commission on May 23, 1995 reviewed the modified and new
redevelopment and tax increment plans and found the plans and the proposed
acquisition and disposition of property to be in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The HRA on May 22, 1995, approved modifications to the Richfield
Rediscovered Redevelopment Plans, Tax Increment Financing Plans, and
established the new tax increment districts and plans related thereto.
4. There is a market of property owners -who wish to voluntarily sell their
substandard and/or obsolete homes.
5. There is a builder and buyer market for new, larger, contemporary housing.
6. Funding sources are available to continue the program.
7. Existing staff resources are available to administer the program.
~~
8. Legal counsel has reviewed the program and related documents and found them
to be in compliance with existing law.
9. Proper notice of the public hearing was published on June 28, 1995.
10. Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, Richfield's representative on the
Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, and the Richfield School District,
including the Vocational-Technical School, have been notified of the impacts to
taxing jurisdictions and the public hearing as required by law.
11. .The estimated budget for the 12 to 15 properties anticipated to be redeveloped is
as follows:
Range of 12 to 15 Properties
Property Acquisition $ 624,000 $ 780,000
Appraisals $ 4,200 $ 5,250
Demolition/Site $ 72,000 $ 90,000
Clearance
Legal Expenses $ 12.000 $ 15.000
Total $ 712,000 $ 890,250
Based on new home values at full build out of $110,000 to $160,00, tax increments
generated by the new housing development over a 25 year period would be paid to the
Development Fund and would approximate $12,800 to $28,500 annually if 12 homes
were built or $16,100 to $35,700 annually, if 15 homes were built.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Modify the proposed program.
2. Delay action until a future time.
3. Terminate any additional activity on the proposal.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This modification is in part being processed to provide new construction opportunities
for New Ford Town and Rich Acres residents and also to make it possible for other
interested buyers to initiate construction during 1995.

Project Areas to their full potential
3:02 The modified Plans for Tax Increment Financing Districts "A-3" and "B-3" are
consistent with the modified Plans for the Project Areas.
3.03 The modified Plans for Tax Lncrement Financing Districts"A-3" and "B-3" are
consistent with the general plans for the development of the City as a vvhole.
Section 4. Findin.~s Tax Increment Financing Districts "A-4" and "B-4".
4.01 Tax Increment Financing Districts "A-4" and "B'4", which are hereby established
in the Project Areas, are redevelopment Tax Increment Financing Districts within
the meaning of Section 469.174, subd. 10 (a) (1) of the-TIF Act.
4,02 It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable to the sound and
orderly development and redevelopment of the Project Areas and the City as a
whole, anal for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety and
general welfare that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the Authority
and the City to provide public financial assistance within the Project Areas.
4.03 It is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the Authority
and the City, that the redevelopment proposed in the Plans for Tax Increment
Financing Districts "A-4" and "B-4" could not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonable foreseeable future and
that the increase in market value of each site that could reasonably be expected
to-occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the
increase. in market value estimated to result from teh proposed redevelopment of
each site, after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increment for
the 25 year duration of the TIF District: The basis for this conclusion is a report
prepared by staff analyzing each site with regard to this matter therefore the use
of tax increment financing is necessary.
~~
4.04 The Plans for Tax Increment Financing Districts "A-4" and "B-4" conform to the
general plan for redevelopment: of the City as a whole.
4.05 The proposed public improvements to be financed largely through tax increment
financing are necessary to permit the City to realize the full potential of the
Project Areas in terms of development intensity, employment opportunities and
tax base.
Section 5. Plans Modified; Districts Established; Certification: Filing.
5.01 The Plans are hereby approved and adopted.

basis upon which the Authority and City concluded that Tax Increment Financing
Districts "A-4" and "B-4" qualified asredevelopment tax increment financing
districts shall be retained by the Authority for the duration of the TIF districts.
5.03 The Authority is requested to file a copy of the Plans with the Minnesota
commissioner of revenue as required by the TIF-Act..
5.04 The Authority intends to request that the City assist from time to time in financing
the. public redevelopment costs identified in the TIF Plans from, capital proceeds
from land sale, tax increment from the TIF districts, development account fund
revenue, and other revenues.

In furthereance of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, I-iRA staff maintained
standards set forth in prevous years to identify property for acquisition. In its sequential
numbering system, this is Cycle IV 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 following
properties are identified for acquisition under Cycle IV of the program:

Taz Increment Financing Plan
for
Taz Increment Redevelopment District "A-4"
A. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF
District "A-4") and related Tax Increment Financing Plan (Tax Increment Plan) in Redevelopment
Project Area "A" (Project Area "A") for the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (Housing
Program) and the activities proposed in the tax increment plan relating thereto is conferred upon
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (HRA),
pursuant to and in accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, IVlinn. Stat., Sec. 469.174
to 469.179, inclusive, as amended.
B. Statement of Objectives
The HRA and the City continue to seek and affirm the goals and objectives set forth in
Part I of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A", dated July 16, 1990 as
well as additional program objectives set forth in HRA Letter No. 13, dated April 20, 1992.
C. Development Program
1. Description of Development Activities
As with previous cycles of the housing program and so with Cycle IV, a
comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new
construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The HRA will
assist prospective developers, builders, and buyers with development, redevelopment,
new construction, and other related activities within the context of the modified
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A", this Tax Increment Plan,
and other related guidelines.
2. Development Activities .Covered by Contract
At this writing, early negotiations for property acquisition is proceeding between HRA
staff and owners for one property. Early acquisition has already occurred on one
property. Any and all development contracts which may arise in the interim
processing period of these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent upon HRA
Board and City Council approval.
A-4-1
3. Other Develoament Not Uhder Contract Reasonably Eaaected to Occur in the
Proiect•
Proposals from prospective developers, builders, and buyers will be required to be
submitted to the HRA as part of the review process.
The following activities may be expected to occur:
1. Property Acquisition;-
2. On-site clearance;
3. On-site improvements;
4. New construction;
5. Remedial site environmental activities; and
6. Adjacent public improvements and utilities which service site.
For Cycle IV of the Housing Program, a total of 71 properties have been identified for
program participation and acquisition.. Forty six (46) of the properties are located
within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining 25 are within
Redevelopment Project Area "B". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment
Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Areas A and B each
contain one property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for
these lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle
IV is anticipated to begin in the summer of. Construction for each home is anticipated
to be approximately 120 days. Timing of construction is contingent upon favorable
market conditions, reasonable time period for processing applications and availability
of funding revenue.
D. Description of Property in the Taz Increment Financing District
Property located within TIF District "A-4" is identified in Appendix B.
E. Classification of the Taa Increment Financing District
The Richfield HRA and City Council, in determining the need for a tax increment
financing district in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended,
find that Tax Increment District "A-4" to be established within Project Area "A" is a
redevelopment tax increment financing district as defined in Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Since the tax increment parcels within the scattered site program are non-contiguous, each
parcel has been examined by staff against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and
other blight definitions. Each structure has qualified under 1vlinn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax
increment financing district.
A-4-2
_ A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a
document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey -Cycle
IV" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
F. Parcels in Acquisition
The following property has been identified for acquisition in TIF District A-4, Cycle IV of
the Housing Program:

will be offered to eligible developers, builders, and buyers as development incentives.
G. Estimate of Costs
The estimate of public costs associated with the tax increment district are outlined in the
budget listed in Appendix D.
H. Estimated Amount of Obligated Funds
At the current time, $750,000 of program revenue is anticipated to be alloted to Cycle IV
in order to continue with the housing program.
An estimate of the amount of bonded indebtedness for redevelopment is expected to be
$0. The term of the issues is 0 years including 0 years of capitalized interest with an anticipated
taxable interest rate of 0%. The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be $0.
L Sources of Revenue

developments in the redevelopment project area is an allocation from the development account.
A-4-4
In addition to this allocation, other sources of revenue potentially available to the I-iRA and City
may be utilized.
J. Original Taz Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 1 and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "A-4" is based on the January 2, 1994 assessed value placed
on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $29,550. (See Appendix B,
Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "A-4".) Each year the office of the county
auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total net tax capacity of the tax
increment district to calculate the tax increment payable to the redevelopment district fund. In
any year in which there is an increase in total net tax capacity. in the tax increment district above
the original net tax capacity, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total net tax
capacity in the tax increment district declines below the original net tax capacity, no tax capacity
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable.
The county auditor shall certify in each year after the date the original net tax capacity was
certified, the amount the OTC has increase 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; or
3. Change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements.
K. Estimated Captured Taz Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, Subd. 1 and Iviinn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 2, the
estimated captured net tax capacity (CTC) of Tax Increment District "A-4" is within a range of
$429 to $1,694 per home. The total CTC for the full build-out of 46 potential new homes to be
located within Redevelopment Project Area "A" ranges from $19,734 to $77,924. As a result of
the improvements to be constructed, it is expected that the estimated captured net tax capacity
will be available for the housing program. It is also anticipated that this amount will be captured
not more than 25 years. (See Appendix C, Estimate of Tax Increments.)
L. Duration of the District
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sect. 469.176, subd. 1, the maximum duration of a
redevelopment tax increment district is 25 years. The HRA elects to capture 100% of the tax
increments for the duration of the district.
M. Estimated Impact on Other Tazing Jurisdictions

amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination of capitalized interest on
debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the
amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax
capacity to be retained by the HRA; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or
designation of additional property to be acquired by the HRA shall be approved upon the notice

improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer
or water systems, has .been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing
district by the HRA or by the owner of the pazcel in accordance with the tax increment financing
plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax capacity
of the tax increment financing district. If the HRA or the owner of the pazcel subsequently

commenced, and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof most recently
A-4-6
certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district."
R Limitation of the Use of Taz Increment
All revenues derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public
redevelopment costs pursuant to Minn. Stat., 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. These
revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from tax
increment shall be used for the construction or renovation of a municipally owned building used

conditions that allow designation of a redevelopment district under section 469.174. These costs
include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements,
acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development,
demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and

which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately proceeding approval
of the tax increment financing plan by the City.
T. Ezcess Taz Increments
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 2, in any year in which the tax increment
exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the

3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond;
4. Repay any loans including interest on these loans; or
5. Return the excess to the county auditor. for redistribution to the respective taxing
jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rates.
A-4-7
The amounts distributed to a city or county must be deducted from the levy limits of the
governmental unit for the following year. In calculating the levy limit base for later years, the
amount deducted must be treated as a local government aid payment.
For the purpose of this tax increment financing plan, excess tax increment means that
increment received in any year which is in addition to the amount needed to satisfy the HRA's
current financial obligations or commitments, as specified in the tax increment financing budget
listed in Appendix D, or which is in addition to that which is placed in a separate account for the
purpose of accumulating funds needed to satisfy those financial obligations or commitments in the
future.
U. Restrictions on Pooling; Five-Year Limit

given:
"Activities" means acquisition of property, clearing of land, site preparation, soils
correction, removal of hazardous waste or pollution,. installation of utilities, construction
of public or private improvements, and other similar activities, but only to the extent that
tax increment revenues may be spent for such purposes under other law. Activities do not
include allocated administrative expenses, but do include engineering, architectural, and
similar costs of the improvements in the district.

on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 25 percent of the revenue derived from tax
increments paid by properties in the district may be expended, through a development fund
or otherwise, on activities outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of
the project except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds.
The revenue derived from tax increments for the district that are expended on costs under
section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), maybe deducted first before calculating
the percentages that must be expended within and without the district.
A-4-8
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 3 with respect to the five-year rule:
(a) Revenues derived from tax increments are considered to have been expended on an
activity within the district under subdivision 2 only if one of the following occurs:

actually paid to a third party with respect to the activity;
(2) bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued
and sold to a third party before or within five years after certification and the revenues are
spent to repay the bonds;
(3) binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the
activity before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are
spent under the contractual obligation; or
(4) costs with respect to the activity are paid before or within five years after
certification of the district and the revenues are spent to reimburse a party for payment of
the costs.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, bonds include subsequent refunding bonds if one of
two tests is met: (1) the proceeds of the original refunded bonds were spent on activities
within five years after the district was certified or (2) the original refunded bonds are
issued within five years after the district was certified and the proceeds are expended on
activities within a reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term
under section 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 4 with respect to use of revenues for
decertification:
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the district, 75 percent of the
revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that remain after
the expenditures permitted under subdivision 3 must be used only to pay outstanding
bonds, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (2), and paragraph (b) or
contracts, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4). When the
outstanding bonds have been defeased and when sufficient money has been set aside to
pay contractual obligations as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4),
the district must be decertified and the pledge of tax increment discharged.
V. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to 1VIinn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 8, the HRA may enter into an agreement in
recordable form with a developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment district
which establishes a minimum market value of the tax increment district. The assessment
A-4-9
agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications
for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land
upon which the improvements are to be constructed and so long as the minimum market value
contained in the assessment agreement appears in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable
estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement.
W. Administration of the Tag Increment District and Maintenance of the Tag
Increment Account
Administration of the tax increment district will be the responsibility of the Richfield
Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
The tax increment received as a result of increases in the net tax capacity of the tax
increment district will be maintained in a special account separate from all other HRA and
municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned activities identified in the tax increment
financing plan.
X. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 6a, on or before March 1 of each year, the
HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following:
1. Total principal amount of nondefeased tax increment financing bonds that are
outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year; and
2. Total annual amount of principal and interest payments that are due for the current
calendar year on (i) general obligation tax increment financing bonds, and (ii) other tax
increment financing bonds.
Also in accordance with this requirement the HRA must annually report to the
commissioner of revenue the following amounts for the tax increment financing district:
1. Type of district;
2. Date on which the district is required to be decertified;
3. Captured net tax capacity of the district, by property class as specified by the
commissioner of revenue, for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
4. Tax increment revenues for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
5. Whether the tax increment financing plan or other governing document permits
increment revenues to be expended (i) to pay bonds, the proceeds of which were or
maybe expended on activities located outside of the district, (ii) for deposit into a
common fund from which money maybe expended on activities located outside of the
A-4-10
district, or (iii) to otherwise finance activities located outside of the tax increment
financing district; and
6. Any additional information that the commissioner of revenue may require.
Y. Assumptions
It was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding income, costs and timing of the
tax increment~financing district. These assumptions are based on discussions with the HRA, City,
and County staff, and. consultants. .
Z. Municipal Findings
Pursuant to 1Vlinn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax
increment financing plan, the municipality shall make the following findings and shall set forth in
writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination:
1. The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minn.
Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. It has been determined that parcels consisting of 70
percent of the area of 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.
Specifically, staff has examined each parcel against the statutory definitions of
structurally substandard and other blight definitions due to the non-contiguous nature
of the tax increment parcels. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec.
469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements
of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A detailed account of property
examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled Richfield
Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey -Cycle IV" which will
be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division ,-for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
2. The proposed activities listed in this plan, in the opinion of the HRA, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed
necessary since the proposed development requires certain necessary planning,
property assembly and other improvements without which interested developers,
builders, or buyers could not construct the aforementioned improvements; and without
the use of tax increments or other revenues authorized by this plan to assist with the
financing of the activities, interested developers, builders, or buyers would not proceed
with redevelopment in the redevelopment project area.
3. The tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development of
the City as a whole as it will result in the continuation of the Richfield Rediscovered
Housing Program for the development, redevelopment, new construction and other
A-4-11
related improvements of residential homes for which there is limited sources of
revenue available.
4. The tax increment financing plan will afi'ord maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development by private enterprise as it will
enable the HRA to provide the necessary redevelopment for the project area and City,
as a whole, in a planning manner suitable to both the public and private sectors.

APPENDIX E
ESTIlVIATE OF IlVIPACTS ON OTHER
TAXING JURISDICTIONS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "A-4"
The purpose of analyzing impacts on taxing jurisdictions is to (a.) determine how tax increment
assistance provided to a proposed redevelopment project impacts taxing, jurisdictions; (b.)
determine the level of impact as it relates to tax base; and (c.) determine the amount of taxes a.
taxing entity would need to levy in order to increase their respective tax base by the amount the
project brings in absent the project.
If the "But For" test were not met, construction would not occur. That is, without the creation
and existence of the tax increment district, construction would not occur because the cost of
developing the proposed project by a private developer would be prohibitive. Acceptable rates of
return on project investment could not be met and risk would be too high. Development would
not move forward. Construction would not occur without the assistance of the city. In light of
this, the impact to taxing jurisdictions would be $0. Foregone would be the benefits of a new
construction project, increased overall tax base, and other project objectives. The estimated
impact of Tax Increment District "A-4" would be as follows if the project were built without tax
increment financing:

The following table displays captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax
rates and tax capacities are the payable 1995 figures for all jurisdictions. The potential taxes
column is the estimate of the amount of taxes each jurisdiction would theoretically have to raise if
the goal of taxing entities was to raise tax base equal to that of the project without constructing
the project.

1. Acquisition
In furthereance of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, HRA staff maintained
standards set forth in prevous years to identify property for acquisition. In its sequential.
numbering system, this is Cycle IV 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 following
properties are identified for acquisition under Cycle IV of the program:

A. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF
District "B-4") and related Tax Increment Financing Plan (Tax Increment Plan) in Redevelopment
Project Area "B" (Project Area "B") for the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (Housing
Program) and the activities proposed in the tax increment plan relating thereto is conferred upon
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (HItA),
pursuant to and in accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174
to 469.179, inclusive, as amended.
B. Statement of Objectives
The HRA and the City continue to seek and affum the goals and objectives set forth in
Part I of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "B", dated July 16, 1990 as
well as additional program objectives set forth in HRA Letter No. 13, dated Apri120, 1992.
C. Development Program
1. Descriation of Development Activities
As with previous cycles of the housing program and so with Cycle IV, a
comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new
construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The HRA will
assist prospective developers, builders, and buyers with development, redevelopment,
new construction, and other related activities within the context of the modified
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "B", this Tax Increment Plan,
and other related guidelines.
2. Development Activities Covered by Contract
At this writing, there are no early negotiations for property acquisitions proceeding
between H1tA staff and owners for one property. Early acquisitions have already
occurred on two properties. Any and all development contracts which may arise in the
interim processing period of these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent
upon HRA Board and City Council approval.
B-4-1
3. Other Develoament Not Under Contract Reasonably Eaaected to Occur in the
Project.
Proposals from prospective developers, builders, and buyers will be required to be
submitted to the HRA as part of the review process.
The following activities may be expected to occur:
1. Property Acquisition;
2. On-site clearance;
3. On-site improvements;
4. New construction;
5. Remedial site environmental activities; and
6. Adjacent public improvements and utilities which service site.
For Cycle IV of the Housing Program, a total of 73 properties have been identified for
program participation and acquisition. Forty six (46) of the properties are located
within Redevelopment Project Area "A".while the remaining 25 are within
Redevelopment Project Area "B". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment
Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Areas A and B each
contain one property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for
these lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle
IV is anticipated to begin in the summer of. Construction for each home is anticipated
to be approximately 120 days. Timing of construction is contingent upon favorable
market conditions, reasonable time period for processing applications and availability
of funding revenue.
D. Description of Property in the Taz Increment Financing District
Property located within TIF District "B-4" is identified in Appendix B.
E. Classification of the Taz Increment Financing District
The Richfield HRA and City Council, in determining the need for a tax increment
financing district in accordance with Minn. Stat., Seca 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended,
find that Tax Increment District "B-4" to be established within Project Area "B" is a
redevelopment tax increment financing district as defined in Mmn. Stat:, Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Since the tax increment parcels within the scattered site program are non-contiguous, each
parcel has been examined by staff against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and
other blight definitions: Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax
increment financing district.
B-4-2
A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a
document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey -Cycle
IV" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.

G. Estimate of Costs
The estimate of public costs associated with the tax increment district are outlined in the
budget listed in Appendix D.
H. Estimated Amount of Obligated Funds
At the current time, $750,000 of program revenue is anticipated to be alloted to Cycle IV
in order to continue with the housing prQg~
xlness for redevelopment is expected to be
An estimate of the amount of bnnde~d .iadPht~
$0. The term of the issues is 0 years including 0 years of capitalized interest with an anticipated
taxable interest rate of 0%. The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be $0.
L Sources of Revenue
The primary source of revenue to be used to finance public costs associated with proposed
developments in the redevelopment project area is an allocation from the development account.
In addition to this allocation, other sources of revenue potentially available to the HRA and City
maybe utilized.
J. Original Taz Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 1 and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "B-4" is based on the January 2, 1994 assessed value placed
on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $17,126. (See Appendix B,
Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "B-4".) Each year the office of the county
auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total net tax capacity of the tax
increment district to calculate the tax increment payable to the redevelopment district fund. In
any year in which there is an increase in total net tax capacity in the tax increment district above
the original net tax capacity, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total net tax
capacity in the tax increment district declines below the original net tax capacity, no tax capacity
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable.
The county auditor shall certify in each year after the date the original net tax capacity was
certified, the amount the OTC has increase 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; or
3. Change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements.
K. Estimated Captured Taz Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, Subd. 1 and NI'inn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 2, the
estimated captured net tax capacity (CTC) of Tax Increment District "B-4" is within a range of
B-4-4
$395 to $1,660 per home. The total CTC for the full build-out of 25 potential new homes to be
located within Redevelopment Project Area "B" ranges from $9,875 to $41,500. As a result of
the improvements to be constructed, it is expected that the estimated captured net tax capacity
will be available for the housing program. It is also anticipated that this amount will be captured
not more than 25 years. (See Appendix C, Estimate of Tax Increments.)
L. Duration of the District
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sect. 469.176, subd. 1, the maximum duration of a
redevelopment tax increment district is 25 years. The HRA elects. to capture 100% of the tax
increments for the duration of the district.
M. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Refer to Appendix E, Estimate of Impacts on Other Taxing Jurisdictions.
N. Modifications of the Taz Increment .Financing District
All tax increment plan modifications will be processed in accordance with Minn. Stat.,
Sec. 469.175, subd. 4.
The modifications pertaining to the necessary processing include any reduction or
enlargement of the geographic area of the project or tax increment financing district; increase in
amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination of capitalized interest on
debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the
amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax
capacity to be retained by the I3RA; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or
designation of additional property to be acquired. by the HRA shall be approved upon the notice
and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original plan.
The geographic area of a tax increment district maybe reduced, but shall not be enlarged after
five years following the date of certification of the original tax capacity by the County Auditor.
O. Limitation on Administrative Expenses ,

B-4-5
Q. Limitation on Qualification of Property in Taz Increment District Not Subject to
Improvement
Pursuant to Mum. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subdivision 6, "if, after fow years from the date of
certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district..., no
demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified
improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer
or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing
district by the HRA or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing
plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax capacity
of the tax increment financing district. ff the HRA or the owner of the parcel subsequently
commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel
including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan, the I-iRA shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has
commenced, and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof most recently
certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district."
R Limitation of the Use of Taz Increment
All revenues derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public
redevelopment costs pursuant to Minn. Stat., 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. These
revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from tax
increment shall be used for the construction or renovation of a municipally owned building used
primarily and regularly for conducting the business of the municipality. This provision shall not
prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction or renovation of a
parking structure, a commons area used as a public park or a facility used for social, recreational
or conference purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the municipality.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 4j, at least 90 percent of the revenues derived
from tax increments from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting
conditions that allow designation of a redevelopment district under section 469.174. These costs
include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements,
acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development,
demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and
parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the authority may be
included in the qualifying costs.
S. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 4, the F1RA will review and search property
files for properties to be included in the tax increment district and to identify those properties for
B-4-6
which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately proceeding approval
of the tax increment financing plan by the City.
T. Excess Tax Increments
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 2, in any year in which the tax increment
exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the
amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Minn. Stat., Sec. 475.61, subd. 3, the
HItA shall use the excess amount to:
1. Prepay the outstanding bonds;
2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor;
3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond;
4. Repay any loans including interest on these loans; or
5. Return the excess to the county auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing
jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rates.
The amounts distributed to a~city or county must be deducted from the levy limits of the
governmental unit for the following year. In .calculating the levy limit base for later years, the
amount deducted must be treated as a local government aid payment.
For the purpose of this tax increment financing plan, excess tax increment means that
increment received in any year which is in addition to the amount needed to satisfy the HRA's
current financial obligations or commitments, as specified in the tax increment financing budget
listed in Appendix D, or which is in addition to that which is placed in a separate account for the
purpose of accumulating funds needed to satisfy those financial obligations or commitments in the
future.
U. Restrictions on Pooling; Five-Year Limit
In accordance with 1Vlinn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, the following terms have the meanings.
given:
"Activities" means acquisition of property, clearing of land, site preparation, soils
correction, removal of hazardous waste or pollution, installation of utilities, construction
of public or private improvements, and other similar activities, but only to the extent that
tax increment revenues may be spent for such purposes under other law. Activities do not
include allocated administrative. expenses, but do include engineering, architectural, and
similar costs of the improvements in the district.
"Third Party" means an entity other than (1) the person receiving the benefit of assistance
financed with tax increments, or (2) the municipality or the development authority or other
person substantially under the control of the municipality.
B-4-7
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, subd. 2 with respect to expenditures outside the
district:
(a) For each tax increment financing district, an amount equal to at least 75 percent of the
revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district must be expended
on activities in the district or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds
were used to finance activities in the district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service
on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 25 percent of the revenue derived from tax
increments paid by properties in the district maybe expended, through a development fund
or otherwise, on activities outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of
the project except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds.
The revenue derived from tax increments for the district that are expended on costs under
section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), may be deducted first before calculating
the percentages that must be expended within and without the district.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 3 with respect to the five-year rule:
(a) Revenues derived from tax increments are considered to have been expended on an
activity within the district under subdivision 2 only if one of the following occurs:
(1) before or within five years after certification of the district, the revenues are
actually paid to a third party with respect to the activity;
(2) bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued
and sold to a third party before or within five years after certification and the revenues are
spent to repay the bonds;
(3) binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the
activity before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are
spent under the contractual obligation; or
(4) costs with respect to the activity are paid before or within five years after
certification of the district and the revenues are spent to reimburse a party for payment of
the costs.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, bonds include subsequent refunding bonds if one of
two tests is met: (1) the proceeds of the original refunded bonds were spent on activities
within five years after the district was certified or (2) the original refunded bonds are
issued within five years after the district was certified and the proceeds are expended on
activities within a reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term
under section 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 4 with respect to use of revenues for
decertification:
B-4-8
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the district, 75 percent of the
revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that remain after
the expenditures permitted under subdivision 3 must be used only to pay outstanding
bonds, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (2), and paragraph (b) or
contracts, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4). When the
outstanding bonds have been defeased and when sufficient money has been set aside to
pay contractual obligations as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3} and (4),
the district must be decertified and the pledge of tax increment discharged.
V. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 8, the H1tA may enter into an agreement in
recordable form with a developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment district
which establishes a minimum market value of the tax increment district. The assessment
agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications
for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land
upon which the improvements are to be constructed and so long as the minimum market value
contained in the assessment agreement appears in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable
estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement.
W. Administration of the Taz Increment District -and Maintenance of the Taz
Increment Account
Administration of the tax increment district will be the responsibility of the Richfield
Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
The tax increment received as a result of increases in the net tax capacity of the tax
increment district will be maintained in a special account separate from all other HRA and
municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned activities identified in the tax increment
financing plan.
X. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 6a, on or before March 1 of each year, the
HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following:
1. Total principal amount of nondefeased tax increment financing bonds that are
outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year; and
2. Total annual amount of principal and interest payments that are due for the current
calendar year on (i) general obligation tax increment financing bonds, and (ii) other tax
increment financing bonds.
Also in accordance with this requirement the H1tA must annually report to the
commissioner of revenue the following amounts for the tax increment financing district:
B-4-9
1. Type of district;
2. Date on which the district is required to be decertified;
3. Captured net tax capacity of the district, by property class as specified by the
commissioner of revenue, for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
4. Tax increment revenues for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
5. Whether the tax increment financing plan or other governing document permits
increment revenues to be expended (i) to pay bonds, the proceeds of which were. or
maybe expended on activities located outside of the district, (ii) for deposit into a
common fund from which money maybe expended on activities located outside of the
district, or (iii) to otherwise finance activities located outside of the tax increment
financing district; and
6. Any additional information that the commissioner of revenue may require.
Y. Assumptions
It was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding income, costs and timing of the
tax increment financing district. These assumptions are based on discussions with the HRA, City,
and County staff, and consultants:
Z. Municipal Findings
Pursuant to lvfinn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax
increment financing plan, the municipality shall make the following findings and shall set forth in
writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination:
1. The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to 1Vlinn.
Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. It has been determined that parcels consisting of 70
percent of the area of 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.
Specifically, staff has examined each parcel against the statutory definitions of
structurally substandard and other blight definitions due to the non-contiguous nature
of the tax increment parcels. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec.
469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements
of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A detailed account of property
examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled Richfield
Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey -Cycle N" which will
be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division ,for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
B-4-10
2. The proposed activities listed in this plan, in the opinion of the HRA, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed
necessary since the proposed development requires certain necessary planning,
property assembly and other improvements without which interested developers,
builders, or buyers could not construct the aforementioned improvements; and without
the use of tax increments or other revenues authorized by this plan to assist with the
financing of the activities, interested developers, builders, or buyers- would not proceed
with redevelopment in the redevelopment project area.
3. The tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development of
the City as a whole as it will result in the continuation of the Richfield Rediscovered
Housing Program for the development, redevelopment, new construction and other
.related improvements of residential homes for which there is limited sarurces of
revenue available.
4. The tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development by private enterprise as it will
enable the HRA to provide the necessary redevelopment for the project area and City,
as a whole, in a planning manner suitable to both the public and private sectors.

APPENDIX E
ESTIl~'IATE OF IlViPACTS ON OTHER
TAXING JURISDICTIONS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "B-4"
The purpose of analyzing impacts on taxing jurisdictions is to (a.) determine how tax increment
assistance provided to. a proposed redevelopment project impacts taxing jurisdictions; (b.)
determine the level of impact as it relates to tax base; and (c.) determine the amount. of taxes a
taxing entity would need to levy in order to increase their respective tax base by the amount the
project brings in absent the project.
If the "But For" test were not met, construction would not occur. That is, without the creation
and existence of the tax increment district, construction would not occur because the cost of
developing the proposed project by a private developer would be prohibitive. Acceptable rates of
return on project investment could not be met and risk would be too high. Development would
not move forward. Construction would not occur without the assistance of the city. In light of
this, the impact to taxing jurisdictions would be $0. Foregone would be the benefits of a new
construction project, increased overall tax base, and other project objectives. The estimated
impact of Tax Increment District "B-4" would be as follows if the project were built without tax
increment financing:

Appendix A-4-7
CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No ia2
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of updates to Section 310 of the City Code, the
personnel section.
Background:
The personnel section of the City Code establishes a uniform and equitable system of
personnel administration for City employees. Minor corrections and revisions were last
made in 1991.
Several areas of the ordinance are in need of updating because they have become
obsolete and housekeeping changes are proposed. The major areas of change
include:
Section 310.03, Subd. 28 permits apart-time position to be created with project
(special) funding. (By adding this provision, the City can make full use of outside
funding sources. Without adding this provision, the City stands to forfeit outside
funding because the funding isn't sufficient to pay for afull-time employee.)
• Section 310.07, Subd. 5 permits the City to conduct criminal history and driver's
license background checks on candidates for employment. (This provision complies
with recent State law changes.)
Section 310.33, Subd. 2(e) grants one more day of vacation, up to 21 days per year,
beginning the twentieth year of employment. (This is a benefit granted to the male-
dominated Police Supervisors bargaining unit in 1995. By granting it to General
Services and Management employees, the benefit is applied uniformly and equitably

Council Letter No. 181
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Authorize a purchase order for publication of the 1995 fall and 1995-1996 winter
brochures.
Background:
The City Council policy resolution on purchasing provides that when the purchase. of
merchandise, materials, equipment, or construction exceeds-the amount of $5,000,
authority to purchase shall be submitted. to the City Council for consideration.
Seasonal recreation brochures are distributed to each resident in the City. Historically,
the City has contracted with a company to produce four quarterly brochures on an
annual basis. However, with the City switching to a computer system that can provide
camera ready copy, the process was changed in 1995 to contract each brochure
printing separately.-
Quotations were. requested from 11 vendors for, the 1995 fall and 1995-1996 winter
season brochures. Vendors could provide quotations for the fall publication only, for
the winter publication only, or for a. combination of both seasons. In each case there
were two paper options to quote: 1) Bond Paper or 2) Recycled Paper. Listed below.
are the quotes received:
Fall Brochure Only:
Vendor Name Bond Paper Recycled Paper
Nystrom Publishing $5,369 $5,369
Artcraft Press $5,489 $5,579
Shakopee Valley $5,780 $6;259.
Associated Lithographers. $7,550 No quote given
Winter Brochure Only:

. Vendor Name Bond Paper Recycled Paper
Nystrom Publishing $10,738 $10,738
.Artcraft Press $10,758 $1.0,918
Shakopee Valley $11,722 $12,683
Associated Lithographers $15,100 No quote given
~L-1
Recommended Motion:
Accept the quotation for the 1995 fall and 1995-19.96 winter seasonal brochures from
Nystrom Publishing Company, Incorporated in the amount of $10,738 which includes
printing on recycled paper and authorize a purchase order.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Nystrom Publishing Company, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible quote and has
previously printed seasonal brochures.
2. In addition fo the slight cosf advantage of securing printing services at this time for
both the fall and winter publications, there is the coordination advantage of working
with one vendor for both publications.-
3. There are sufficient funds available for this purchase.
Alternate Recommendation:
1. Select another vendor; however, Nystrom Publishing Company, Inc. is a reputable
firm.
2. Elect to print the publications on bond paper; however, the low quotation does not-
alter prices for bond paper or recycled paper and use of recycled paper has worked
well in the past. This is in keeping with-City recycling efforts in several areas
including the printing process of previous brochures.
3. Request staff to seek additional quotations; however, this could affect the publishing
date for the fall brochure in 1995, and staff feels lower quotes are .unlikely.
4. Do not print any fall 1995 brochure or 1995/1996 winter brochure; however, this
would severely limit notification of the public of the programs available during these
seasons.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The quotations, which were received June 22, 1995, are to remain in effect for a period
of 30 days. The only Council meeting to fall within this time period is July 10, 1995.
Council should take action at this time.

Council Letter No. 178
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Award of contract for rehabilitation of deteriorated sanitary sewer lines and appurtenant
work.
Background:
The City has been identifying deteriorated sanitary sewer lines primarily through
televising of the lines. Bids were requested for rehabilitation work of 4,900 feet of
sanitary sewer lines. The rehabilitation work consists of lining pipes with deformed and
reformed polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride liner. The work is to be performed in
various areas of the City where pipes are most in need of repair. This is the first year of
a five year rehabilitation program which is sometimes called sliplining.
Bids from two contractors were opened in accordance with legal requirements on June
29, 1995 with the following results:
Visu-Sewer Clean & Seal, Inc. $149,610
Insituform Central, Inc. 181,743
The adopted 1995 wastewater maintenance budget includes a total of $200,000 for all
aspects of the 1995 rehabilitation project. Because the lowest bid was favorable, there
is an opportunity for additional rehabilitation within the terms of the contract. The
contract incorporates Minnesota Department of Highways specifications which permit
an increase of the contract amount by up to 25%.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes/tabulation and award a contract for rehabilitation of sanitary
sewer lines to Visu-Sewer Clean &-Seal, Inc. in the sum of $149,610 with the
understanding the contract may be increased by up to 25%.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Visu-Sewer Clean & Seal, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid. There are a
limited number of vendors available in Minnesota and Iowa to do this type of work.
These vendors, including Visu-Sewer Clean & Seal, Inc., are considered to be
responsible.
2. There is sufficient funding in the Wastewater Maintenance Division for the original
contract amount and for up to a contract total of approximately $187,000 should
all the allowable additional 25% contract increase amount be used.
J~
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Council may choose to reject all bids and direct staff to obtain new bids. However,
there are a limited number of vendors who do this work and the bids received are
reasonable for the amount of work which needs to be completed. Staff does not
believe a better price could be obtained from a reputable contractor.
2. Award the contract to Insituform Central, Inc., the second bidder. However, the bid
of Insituform Central, Inc., a reputable contractor, exceeds the low bid and there is
no apparent reason to award to other than the low bidder.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the July 10, 1995 City Council meeting. Staff is requesting
approval at this time in order to facilitate timely completion of this project.

Council Letter No 176
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Approval of an agreement with Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc. for construction
engineering services on the Humboldt Avenue Storm Sewer Project of the 77th Street
Project.
Background:
The Council approved the selection of Bather, Ringrose, Wolsfeld, Inc. (BRW, Inc.) and
Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc. to perform preliminary design and construction
engineering for the 77th Street Reconstruction project on April 27, 1992.
The Council also approved the contract award for construction of the Humboldt Avenue
Storm Sewer of the 77th Street Project on May 8, 1995. Construction is set to begin on
July 10, 1995. Engineering supervision and inspection of the storm sewer work is
required.
The proposed agreement for construction engineering of the storm sewer project is with
OSM because the project consists primarily of underground utility work. OSM has
provided the engineering expertise on the 77th Street project for all underground utility
work. Therefore, the proposed agreement will be directly with OSM.
The agreement calls for OSM to provide engineering supervision, surveying, inspection
and materials testing services to assure that the construction contractor follows the
construction plans and specifications. The contract amount for these services is under
$325,000. This represents about 9% of the $3.6 million construction contract and is a
reasonable cost for this type of project. A copy of the proposed agreement will be
available at the Council meeting for review.
The construction engineering agreement also will be submitted for review and approval
by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Funds for the work will come from federal highway funds (80%); Minnesota State Trunk
Highway funds (15%); and, Richfield's Municipal State Aid Streets Funds (5%).
Recommended Motion:
Approve the construction engineering agreement with OSM & Associates for
construction engineering on the Humboldt Avenue Storm Sewer Project.
Basis of Recommendation:
__ 1. The City-does not have available necessary and qualified personnel and facilities to
conduct the services described in the proposed agreement.
3G-~
2. City staff have reviewed the agreement and found the fees are reasonable for the
services to be provided.
3. The consultant has been performing the inspection work on the 77th Street Project in
an acceptable manner.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A decision is needed so the consultant can be reimbursed for the work needed to
complete the inspection of Humboldt Avenue Storm Sewer Project.

Council Letter No,173
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Resolution relating. fo 1996 maintenance assessments, LHN (Lyndale/HUB/Nicollet)
Redevelopment Area, City Project No. 912.
Background:
On January 26, 1981, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6372, which established
a service in the LHN area (approximately bounded by 64th Street, First Avenue, 67th
Street and Emerson Avenue) which. would. be specially assessed. The special
assessment to commercial property would be made on the basis of area, with each
square foot of assessable commercial property within the district being assessed an
equal amount. All single family, two family and multiple family. residential property
within, this area were eliminated from the special assessment levy.
In 1982, agreements were. reached with owners in the LHN -area related to maintenance
of property. For the most part, each owner was to be responsible for property to the
curb while the City is responsible for common areas such as street islands. Although
the City does perform some maintenance work for individual property owners, these
costs are directly assessed to the appropriate owner and maintenance of common
areas continues to be assessed to the entire district.: Current maintenance services for
the district would include, but not necessarily be limited to, one or more of the following:
1. Landscaping, including tree trimming;
2. Sidewalk sweeping in the summer;
3. Snow removal in the winter;
4. Sidewalk deicing;
5. Painting and repair of wood furniture;
6. Trash removal;
7. General maintenance, including repairs and replacement;
8. Irrigation maintenance.
-These items are extra services provided directly to the LHN Redevelopment Area and
do not. include services provided to the entire City. For example, all City streets are
swept twice a year, and for this service there would be no charge to the LHN
maintenance assessment. However, any additional street sweeping in the LHN area
would be an assessable item.
Estimated and actual costs for LHN maintenance services 1989 - 1996 were/are:
~D-I
Year Estimated Actual
-1989 $43,151.19
1990 $44,560 $43,539.10
1991 $44,153 $43,825.22
1992 $46,484. $47,005.26
1993 $45,050 $34,866.01
1994 $45,115 $44,635.70
1995 $45; 516
1996 $47,600
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution proposing to specially assess for the costs of current
services provided within the LHN project area for the period of January 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1996, and to set the public hearing date for August 28, 1995.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Resolution No. 6372, adopted in 1981, established a policy for assessing the
costs.
2. This policy allows staff to continue to provide excellent service to the LHN
Redevelopment Area.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to establish a set rate and limit the maintenance performed to that
dollar amount; however, staff believes the redevelopment area would suffer if limited
maintenance was performed.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Continued maintenance service for this commercial area is recommended by staff in
order to sustain the current standards for landscaping and maintenance which have
been successful over the past years.

LHN (Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet Redevelopment, Area) Maintenance.
Backaround:
City staff has determined costs to be assessed for the maintenance of the
Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet (LHN) Redevelopment Area, City Project 891, the 1.994 LHN
Maintenance Project. Attached are resolutions declaring the costs to be assessed and
ordering the preparation of the proposed assessment rolls, and setting the hearing date
for the proposed assessment.
Estimated and actual costs for the. LHN maintenance services 1988 -1996 were:
Year Estimated Actual
1988 $44,159.33
1 ggg $40,614 $43,151.19

19.94 $45,277 $44,635:70
1995 $45,516
1996" $47,600
The increased costs in 1992 were due to streetlight repairs. Reduced costs in 1993
were the result of several factors; streetlight repair costs were down, -and those needed
were made with parts inventoried in 1992. The wet summer of 1993 resulted in less.
water used than usual, and less time, equipment and parts were needed to repair the
irrigation system.

Adopt the resolution declaring costs to be assessed and ordering preparation of the
proposed assessment roll for LHN maintenance, and adopt the resolution setting the

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 1 ~ 1
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Proposed 1996 alley maintenance special assessment project, City Project No. 913.
Background:
The alley policy adopted by the City Council in 1980 provides that "all costs involved in
maintaining an alley will be assessed against the property abutting the alley." In 1981,
the maintenance functions to unpaved alleys covered sweeping, cleaning of potholes
and cold patching. In _1982. and years. since, the maintenance functions- covered by this
assessment included not only repair work to unpaved alleys, but also an assessment to
all alleys, paved or unpaved, for snowplowing services. A concrete joint sealing
maintenance program for paved alleys was initiated in the 1989 alley maintenance
program.
In 1994, staff obtained estimates for the joint sealing in paved alleys. Due to the small
quantity of work, the prices quoted were exorbitant. In previous years, this work had
been included with the larger concrete street repair program, and prices were
reasonable; but that program was reduced by budget cuts to the point where there is no
longer the volume of work to produce good prices.
In order to obtain reasonable prices for this work, staff needed to double the quantities.
No work for joint sealing was performed in 1994. A large project was awarded in 1995,
and no work will be performed in 1996. However, to bank monies for this type of
biannual bidding, we need to assess a constant $20,000 each year for alley
maintenance.
Estimated and actual costs for the alley maintenance services 1989 - 1996 are:
Year Estimated Actual
1989 $20,000 $17,725.98
1990 $20,000 $17,213.95
1991 $20,000 $21,426.94
1992 $20,000 $19,752.06
1993 $20,000 $17,833.49
1994 $20,000 $20,000.00
1995 $20,000
1996 $20,000
For 1996, the estimate is $20,000 for alley maintenance or approximately $10.75 for a
50-foot lot. Seven dollars and seventy-five cents per lot is the estimate for sweeping
and a normal winter of snowplowing. The additional $3 per lot, which will be contracted
on a biannual basis, is an estimate of costs to continue a concrete joint sealing
maintenance program on paved alleys as a part of routine maintenance.
Estimates of additional costs on unpaved alleys each year have been about $23 per lot.
Costs have varied depending on the amount of patching required.
~~-/
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution which proposes to specially assess $20,000 for 1996
services for alley maintenance and sets the public hearing on this special assessment
project for August 28, 1995.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Previously adopted policy mandates the assessments.
2. The. project is feasible.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may.choose.#o_continue assessing only_actual costs each year. However, the
biannual crack repair policy would cause the assessment to fluctuate considerably, and
residents complain when even minor changes occur in the assessment amounts, due to
more or less snow plowing costs.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Council may choose to delay adoption of this resolution until the next meeting;
however, any further delay would cause scheduling problems with legal notices
required by Minnesota State Statute.

Council Letter No. i~o
Agenda July 10, 1995
Issue Statement:
Resolution declaring costs to be assessed for alley .maintenance and snowplowing for
the period January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, and setting a public hearing date for
City Project No. 893, 1994 Alley Maintenance..
Background:
City staff has determined costs to be assessed for alley maintenance, City Project No
893. Attached are resolutions declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering the
preparation of the proposed assessment rolls, and setting the hearing date for the
proposed assessment. Property owners on permanently paved concrete alleys are
assessed for snowplowing, joint repair, and patching work done on the alley right of
way.
Estimated and actual costs for the alley maintenance. services 1988 - 1996 were:
Year Estimated Actual
1988 $ 8,453.93
1989 $20,000 $17,725.98
1990 $20,000 $17,213.95
1991 $20,000 $21,426.94
1992 $20,000 $19,752.06
1993 $20,000 $17,833.49
1994 $20,000 $20,000.00
1995 $20,000
1996 $20,000
* In 1994, only the cost of snow removal and sweeping was actually expended. Crack
repair bids were very high because of small quantities and were rejected. Staff would
like to assess the full estimated $20,000 for 1994, and use the funds to help pay for a
large quantity crack repair contract in 1995. This biannual repair contract would provide
better prices; and a fixed assessable amount will reduce resident complaints of
fluctuating maintenance assessments for alleys.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering the
preparation of the proposed assessment roll; and adopt the attached resolution setting
the date of hearing on the proposed assessment for August 28, 1995.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Council ordered this work to be performed
~~~1
2. Adoption of the resolutions at this time will allow adequate time for staff to
complete necessary legal requirements in order to meet certification deadlines.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may revise the special assessment roll after the public hearing as deemed
necessary.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Council. may choose to delay action on the attached resolutions; however, Minnesota
State Law requires specific notices and public meetings, and scheduling problems may
occur beyond a two week delay.
