City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 3 the issuance of bonds or as an internal loan. Future tax increment would be collected by the City and used to pay debt service on the bonds or repayment of the internal loan. With pay-as-you-go financing, the developer would finance all project costs upfront and would be reimbursed over time for a portion of those costs as revenues are available. Pay-as-you-go-financing is generally more acceptable than upfront financing for the City because it shifts the risk for repayment to the developer. If tax increment revenues are less than originally projected, the developer receives less and therefore bears the risk of not being reimbursed the full amount of their financing. With bonds, the City would still need to make debt service payments and would have to use other sources to fill any shortfall of tax increment revenues. With internal financing, the City risks not repaying itself in full if tax increment revenues are not sufficient. Typically in either case of upfront financing, there is a shortfall payment guarantee with the developer. The developer has requested financial assistance as pay-as-you-go through a developer note.
