This is intended only to be minimally sufficient under the law. Either the City or the EDA may, of course, add additional elements to the policy. Please note that the "wage floor"number would need to be inserted prior to adoption. You have from my materials last year the sample form of public hearing notice which you can use to notice these two, separate public hearings. The law does not provide a stated minimum number of days for the notices to be published prior to the public hearings. I would suggest as a practical matter a minimum of one P o e week. The minutes of each meeting should clearly reflect that the public hearing was held and that the adoption of the policy was moved, seconded and duly approved. • 1177420.1 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE•IDS CENTER•WWW.BRIGGS.COM MEMBER—LEX MUNDI,A GLOBAL ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT LAW FIRMS 4 ` BRIGGS AND MORGAN Kris Danielson June 9, 2000 • Page 2 I would also recommend that, upon adoption, you notify by letter to the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development, in care of Bob Isaacson, Director, Analysis and Evaluation Office,DTED,500 Metro Square, 121 East 7th Place,St.Paul,MN 55101-2146, that the adoption has occurred and that you also include with the letter a copy of the completed Business Subsidy Policy for both the City and the EDA.

O'Meara JPO:rls encl • • 1177420.1 Business Subsidy Policy • This Policy is adopted for purposes of the business subsidies act (the "Act"), which is Minnesota Statutes, Sections 1161993 through 116J.995, as amended. Terms used in this Policy are intended to have the same meanings as used in the Act, and this Policy shall apply only with respect to subsidies granted under the Act if and to the extent required thereby. While it is recognized that the creation of good paying jobs is a desirable goal which benefits the community, it must also be recognized that not all projects assisted with subsidies derive their public purposes and importance solely by virtue of job creation. In addition,the imposition of high job creation requirements and high wage levels may be unrealistic and counter-productive in the face of larger economic forces and the financial and competitive circumstances of an individual business. The granting of subsidies shall be guided by the following principles and criteria: • Each project shall be evaluated based on its perceived importance and benefit to the community from all perspectives deemed relevant, including created or retained employment positions,where applicable. • The Act now provides that, after public hearing thereon, if the creation or retention of jobs is determined not to be a goal of a business subsidy, the wage and job goals • may be set at zero. Where creation or retention of jobs is a goal,the specific number of jobs to be created or retained shall be stated in the subsidy agreement. Where creation of new jobs is required,those jobs shall have a wage floor of$ per hour. • The specific minimum requirements under Section 116J.994, Subdivision 2, of the Act that a recipient must meet in return for the business subsidy shall be, where applicable: • The retention of existing jobs, • The creation of the specified number of new jobs at or exceeding the wage floor, and/or • Where the subsidy relates to the acquisition of personal property or the acquisition and/or physical development of real property, the substantial completion of the acquisition or development thereof. Where applicable, the foregoing shall also be the stated measurable, specific and tangible goals for the subsidy under the related subsidy agreement, as provided in Section 116J.994, Subdivision 3(3), of the Act. • 1169778.1 • It is recognized that a particular project which does not include as a goal the creation el or retention of jobs may nonetheless be worthy of support and subsidy in respect of other perceived benefits. • In cases where the objective is the retention of existing jobs, the recipient of the subsidy shall be required to provide reasonably specific and demonstrable evidence of the job loss, absent the subsidy. • Subject to the wage floor,where applicable,the setting of wage and job goals must be sensitive to prevailing wage rates,local economic conditions, external economic forces over which neither the grantor nor the recipient of the subsidy has control,the individual financial resources of the recipient and the competitive environment in which the recipient's business exists. • Because it is not possible to anticipate every type of project which may in its context and time present desirable community building or preservation goals and objectives, the governing body must retain the right in its discretion to approve projects and subsidies which may vary from the principles and criteria of this Policy, as may be permitted by but subject to the procedural and other requirements of the Act. • As provided in the Act, deviations from the criteria of this Policy are permitted by documenting in writing the reasons for the deviation and attaching a copy of the document to the next annual report to the Minnesota Department of Trade and • Economic Development(DTED). This Policy is intended to conform to the requirements of the Act, including the year 2000 amendments thereto. A copy of this Policy(and any amendments hereto)shall be submitted along with the first annual report to DTED following its adoption.

Your request is one of several for the small remaining amount of funds of the Comprehensive Planning Assistance account, from which Oak Park Heights received an earlier grant. I will now initiate the development of a grant agreement between the Council and the city. Your should be aware, however, that we need to follow the requirements for the Planning Assistance Grant Program, which was authorized by the Legislature. Specifically, the program allows us to make grants up to 75% of the total budget of the project. Thus, our grant to the city will be for$11,250 and the city will need to document spending the remaining 25%, a (n 2510 which should no P 9 9 uid t be difficult. There will also be some reporting requirements,ments but again should not pose a burden since there will be specific deliverables as a result of the work. Should the city require additional funds to complete or continue its planning, you should be aware of our Planning Assistance Loan Program. It has similar requirements for it's zero-percent loans over a three-year period for up to 75% of the project cost. Please let me know if this option is of interest to the city. Meanwhile, I will be processing the grant request and will try to have an agreement to you within two weeks. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 602-1356.

TREE CITY U.S.A. . • OAK PARK HEIGHTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY COUNTY OF WASHINGTON STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. Resolution Authorizing Certain Tax Increment Activities and Expenditures BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the Oak Park Heights Economic Development Authority(the "Authority") as follows: 1. Recitals. (a) On June 29, 1999, the Board approved certain redevelopment project and tax increment amendments(the"Amendments"),including the amendment of the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Project which was originally approved in March of 1989 and the Tax Increment Plan originally approved in 1989 for the Tax Increment District known as the Saint Croix Mall Tax Increment District (the "TIF District"). • (b) Included in the Amendments were various costs for street,public utility and other public infrastructures within the Redevelopment Project. (c) Area No. 3 of the Redevelopment Project includes the area of the City known as Lower Oak Park Heights, and it has been proposed that the Authority plan and possibly undertake redevelopment of certain streets, sidewalks and curb and gutter in portions of that area (the "Improvements"). 2. Authorization. The study and development of proposals for the Improvements are hereby authorized to be undertaken, including the letting of planning and engineering contracts, and it is further authorized that the costs thereof may be paid from existing tax increment revenue from the TIF District. These activities and agreements may be undertaken in the name of the Authority and/or the City of Oak Park Heights on behalf of the Authority. Adopted this day of ,2000,by the Board of Commissioners of the Oak Park Heights EDA. 1133038.1 2200 FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING 332 MINNESOTA STREET SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 BRIGGS AND MORGAN TELEPHONE(651)223-6600 3 FACSIMILE(665151)223-6450 •OFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION WRITER'S DIRECT DIAL (651) 223-6420 n - AIL February 1, 2000 , i FEB _ 2 2000 11U Kris Danielson Oak Park Heights City Hall 14168 North 57th Street P.O. Box 2007 Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 55082-2007 Dear Kris: Enclosed is a short resolution which would authorize the activities which I understand are contemplated for the Lower Oak Park Heights area,principally including street,sidewalk and curb and gutter and/or planning for the same. As you will recall from the June 22, 1999, • amendments, a number of costs and proposed activities were added to the Redevelopment Plan for the large Redevelopment Project(which appears to include this area in the "No. 3" portion of that Redevelopment Project Area) and also to the tax increment plan for the St. Croix Mall Tax Increment Financing District. These costs included, among other things, a $500,000 budget for streets and public utility/infrastructures and up to $240,000 for administrative expenses. In short, it appears that these potential redevelopment costs would be well within the budget, area and tax increment plan. One item which you should pay attention to,and I would recommend that you consult with Judy Holst on this, is whether or not any of these new expenditures would be "administrative expenses" under the tax increment act, which would include the costs of planning and economic development consultants,but which would not include architectural and engineering services directly connected with the improvements themselves. In other words, a "planning" study is probably an administrative expense, whereas the plans and specifications work done by consulting engineers for the improvements would be a direct, non-administrative project expense. This becomes important only to make sure that you stay within the 10%limit on how much of the tax increment from St. Croix Mall TIF District may be used to pay 1133055.1 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE •IDS CENTER •WWW.BRIGGS.COM MEMBER-LEX MUNDI,A GLOBAL ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT LAW FIRMS BRIGGS AND MORGAN Kris Danielson • February 1, 2000 Page 2 administrative expenses. That limit is 10% of the total increment which was received and kept by the City/EDA from that district. Obviously, all past administrative expenses would need to be deducted from that 10% maximum amount. From Judy you should be able to obtain what the total increment has been, and thus the 10% limit thereon, as well as the amounts of the administrative expenses heretofore paid out of that increment. Finally, you asked whether park planning expenses could be paid out of this increment, given the 1999 legislative prohibition on using tax increment to pay recreational expenses. I believe the answer is that they may not be now because the new law was a broad prohibition on using increment for any recreational facilities, which I would interpret to include the planning thereof. On this issue, it wouldn't make any difference whether one classified such recreational planning expenses as administrative or non-administrative; in either case, the law would not permit the expenditure. Please call if you have any questions on any of this or additional requirements. • 1truly yours,ii,______ ames P.

Andersen continues to proceed with its strategic planning process with respect to the Mall, including its • capital improvement plan. We have just reviewed a working-draft of the plan with our Executive Committee and are responding to their input. You had indicated that you would like to be kept apprised of our plans. It has been our practice to have periodic conversations with municipal officials as a part of the planning process. We believe it is a significant catalyst to an efficient planning process and an efficient completion of the improvements. We would expect to continue that process with respect to the Mall. Accordingly, I would anticipate giving you an update from time to time as to our capital improvement planning process. We will also, of course, be submitting appropriate applications for municipal approvals as required in connection with any such capital improvements. In addition, please feel free to call me at any time if you have any questions. We are excited about our acquisition of the Mall and completing and implementing our plans.
