L E Copy 15 April 1993 Ms. LaVonne Wilson City Administrator /Treasurer City Administrative Offices P.O. Box 2007 Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 RE: Oak Park Heights - TIF Plan FILE NO: 798.02 - 93.03 Dear LaVonne: I am writing in response to your questions regarding the eligibility and procedures to use surplus TIF dollars for future street reconstruction projects. I have a much better understanding of the project after having discussed the matter with Bob Voto. Actually, we are talking about two different sources and use of funds. First, is the approximate $10,000 a year that the City received in 1992 and receivables expected to receive in the foreseeable future. The $10,000 is the City's share of redistributed tax funds that result from the tax capacity rate above the tax capacity rate frozen by the TIF District. Those funds are not tax increment funds. The TIF Statutes place no restrictions on the use of those funds. You have been correct to deposit those funds to the City's general fund. The TIF Plan does not need to address how the City will choose to use those funds. The second source of funds are tax increment funds and do have restrictions on their use. These are currently uncommitted tax increments that the City will receive above and beyond that amount committed to the St. Croix Mall owners. The amount will be substantial as it will approximate the 40 percent fiscal disparity contribution rate. 5775 Wayzata Blvd. - Suite 555 - St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595 - 9636 -Fax. 595 -9837 Ms. LaVonne Wilson 15 April 1993 Page Two I understand the City is currently in the planning stages of a City -wide street reconstruction project. The City may choose to use those uncommitted TIF funds to write down the special assessments costs to those property owners within the Development District boundaries. Once the engineers have defined the project scope and costs by phases, we will prepare a TIF Plan amendment. The amendment will require a public hearing and thirty day notice to the School District and County. I am not aware of any pending legislative changes that will limit your ability to obligate these funds for the above purpose. Please call with any questions.

CROIX MALL REVISED -TIF. PROJECTIONS - 1991/1992 Attached herewith are the following schedules projecting the TIF calculations and Developer assistance for the St. Croix Mall - TIF Agreement based upon current (1992) data: Exhibit A - Computations of total tax allocations (county basis) including City TIF monies based upon an $8,410,300 final project value and based upon zero inflationary growth of taxable valuations. Exhibit B - Computations of developer assistance based upon an $8,410,300 final project value and based upon zero inflationary gmwth of taxable valuations. =l`he attached TIF•computations for 1991 /1992 Uaia reflect a reduction from prior projections. ' -This year's reductions is (again) the direct result of State changes to the tax capacity ratio for Lndustnali'commercial property.. The 1990/91 ratio was 4.95 %. The 1991/92 ratio is 4.75% representing another 4% decrease. TIF property taxes total $232,077 for 1991/92 and will be "shared" as follows: Allocation Amount Percent "Lost TIF" $40,627 17.5% Developer (60 %) 114,870 49.5% City (40 76,580 33.0% TOTAL $232,077 100.0% 4810 White Bear Parkway • White Bear Lake, Minnesota 55110 • 612/426 -7000 • FAX /426 -5004 To the Honorable Mayor • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights May 21, 1991 Page 2 When the City Council approved this TIF Agreement in 1989, it was anticipated that payments to the Developer would total $960,000 over seven and one -half years Md that the City would retain approximately $755,000 over eight years to be used to finance other City projects. Since that time, numerous changes have occurred such that current projections anticipate total payments to the Developer of approximately $695,000 and City TIF revenue of approximately $464,000. The reduced amounts are the direct result of the following: 1. The economic adjustment factor for the TIF District was originally estimated at 1.91% per year based upon preliminary estimates by the Developer and County. The actual economic adjustment factor for this TIF District is 5.7858 %. Accordingly, more tax base is being retained for regular taxes instead of incremental taxes. 2. The original estimates anticipated annual inflationary increases of 2% fa ter completion of the incremental construction. Current economic conditions are such that the attached projections reflect zero inflationary growth. 3. Each year since 1988/89, the State has reduced the tax capacity ratios for industrial/commercial property as follows: TOTAL Comm./Indust. Class Ratios: 1988/89 1989/90 1990/91 1991/92 CHANGE First $100,000 3.30% 3.30% 3.20% 3.10% - 0.20% Balance 5.25% 5.06% 4.95% 4.75% - 0.50% Percent Change: First $100,000 0.0% -3.0% -3.1% -6.1% Balance -3.6% -2.2% -4.0% -9.5% Current TIF projections have been reduced substantially from the original estimates for both the Developer and the City and are summarized as follows: Year Developer City 1991 - Actual $30,908 $21,414 1992 - Actual 114,870 76,580 1993 -Est. 108,800 72,500 1994 -Est. 102,400 68,300 1995 -Est. 95,600 63,700 1996 -Est. 88,400 58,900 1997 -Est. 80,800 53,900 1998 -Est. 72,800 48,500 TOTALS $694,578 $463,794- To the Honorable Mayor • • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights May 21, 1991 Page 3 CITY TIF COMMITMENTS In conjunction with the developer project, the City partially committed its TIF revenue to finance a street re- alignment project at 58th Street and Osgood Avenue. The primary purpose of this project was to improve traffic flows and patterns. A summary of construction costs at December 31, 1991 plus estimated final costs is as follows: Construction Estimated Costs Completed Description @ 12/31/91 Project Contractor $108,175 $110,000 Engineering 21,766 24,200 Other 9,399 10,200 Total Acuml/Estimated $139,340 $144,400 Projected Interest 25,600 Projected Total $170,000 The City's financing plan for this project calls for 100% City TIF financing. Accordingly, the City has already committed its 1991 through 1993 TIF revenues to this project. Thereafter, the City can expect to have the following amounts available to finance other City TIF projects: Year Amount Accumulative 1994 $68,300 $68,300 1995 63,700 132,000 1996 58,900 190,900 1997 53,900 244,800 1998 48,500 293,300 As shown above, fl= City TIF revenue will not be available until 1994. Additionally, these amounts are limited -- averaging only approximately $58,000 per year for five years. To the Honorable Mayor Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights May 21, 1991 Page 4 DEVELOPER TIF The City's final committment to the Developer of this project generally called for the Developer to receive 60% of the additional or incremental taxes generated by this project with a maximum amount of $960,000 to be paid over the term of this TIF District. Tax Increment Financing has been the subject of various State Statutes over the past several years, most of which has limited TIF revenue and/or uses of TIF revenue (especially additional or excess TIF revenue). Accordingly, a formula was devised to guard against future State Statute changes and to insure substantial compliance with the intent of the City Council. The City's Agreement with the Developer calls for the City to remit Developer TIF revenues within 30 days of the actual receipt of such monies. The City will be receiving these monies (both Developer TIF and City TIF) as part of its normal tax settlement each June and December. However, the City usually does not receive the detailed allocations (of its overall tax settlement) until sometime after the monies are received Accordingly, it may not be possible for the City to remit these monies within 30 days of receipt. We recommend that the City remit such monies as soon as possible after receipt of all required information. The attached schedules include projected computations of Developer TIF for the full term of this TIF District, including actual computations for 1991 and 1992. Assuming full and prompt payment of the 1992 property tax by the Developer, the City should receive TIF tax settlements of $95,725 (each) in June and December. When this occurs, the City should remit $57,435 (or 60% of each amount) to the Developer. We will be available to discuss this report and other matters with the City Council at a later date.
