1. The Council has received from LHB,Inc. the "TIF Analysis Findings for 326 Gates Ave NW, 414, 426 and 430 Main Street NW", dated September 6, 2019 (the "Inspection Report"), finding that, based on an inspection of the buildings located on the Parcels, such buildings were determined to be substandard under the definition set forth in the Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the "TIF Act"). Based on the Inspection Report and other information available to the Council, the Council finds that the buildings on the Parcels are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance and at least 15% of the area of each of the Parcels identified on Exhibit A attached hereto are occupied within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10. 2. After the date of approval of this resolution, the buildings on the Parcels may be demolished or removed by the City or the HRA, or such demolition or removal may be financed by the City and the HRA, or may be undertaken by a developer under a development agreement with the City or the HRA. 3. The City and the HRA intend to include the Parcels in a TIF District, and to file the request for certification of such district with the Sherburne County auditor within 3 years after the date of demolition of the buildings on the Parcels. 4. Upon filing the request for certification of a new tax increment financing district, the City or the HRA will notify the Sherburne County auditor that the original tax capacity of the Parcel must be adjusted to reflect the greater of (a) the current net tax capacity of the parcel, or (b) the estimated market value of the Parcel for the year in which the building was demolished or removed, but applying class rates for the current year, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 10(d). 5. City and HRA staff and consultants are authorized to take any actions necessary to carry out the intent of this resolution. 6. The City authorizes expenditure of available tax increments and other available funds to pay the costs of such demolition or removal, in such amounts as determined necessary for such purpose by the City's Finance Director. 7. On December 1, 2017, the Council and the Board of Commissioners of the HRA adopted interfund loan resolutions (collectively, the "Interfund Loan Resolution") authorizing the payment of certain costs by the HRA and the City, including the costs of demolition of the buildings on the Parcels, in an amount not to exceed the greater of $1,100,000 or the adopted and,if applicable, amended Tax Increment Financing Plan budget for the TIF District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7. Payments of principal of and interest on the Interfund Loan (as defined in the Interfund Loan Resolution) shall be paid from Available Tax increment (as defined in the Interfund Loan Resolution). This resolution supplements, but does not supercede, the Interfund Loan Resolutions. NATUREJ
