months. Nafstad stated that the Board felt it should go to boT the Albertville and Otsego City
Councils before any work on the agreement is conducted.

sometimes do not have enough members present at the meetings.
2). Appointment to Parks Committee
Clerk Olson reported the Parks Committee met and interviewed two applicants for the vacancy on
the committee. The committee's recommendation to Council was to appoint Larry Boller to the
position. VF
Clerk Olson also reported the committee spoke about the number of residents that makes up the
committee. Olson reported that the resolution addressing the Parks Committee allows four residents,
two Council members, and a staff person. The committee had inquired if it would be possible to also
appoint the other applicant they had interviewed for the vacant position. Couri had indicated staff is
reviewing the City Code and resolutions that address both the Planning Commission and Parks
Committee and will bring that forward to a future meeting. The Council was not opposed to another
member on the committee and felt they could address it when that review happens. Hendrickson
was not sure if they needed two Council members on the committee. She suggested removing one
Council member from the committee if they appoint an additional resident; they would just have to
appoint an alternate.

are milestones in place in the project to ensure that. Sorensen inquired on the start date and Nafstad
replied it would be no sooner than June 15, after Friendly City Days. It would be completed no later

over the course of several years, they may only need four hours.

Regular Meeting of April 6, 2015 Agenda Page 6

NE/Barthel Industrial Drive NE project.
Nafstad reported that repairs to the street in the Greenhaven neighborhood may be needed this year.
He stated the area also needs water and sewer connections, but believes the cost is not feasible. He
stated the current street is in very poor condition and they would need approximately $160,000 for
the street reclamation. Though the project was not budgeted, staff would be able to use reserves to
fund the project. Sorensen stated that if they do wait another year to do the project, it will be even
costlier.

The St. Michael -Albertville School Board met in a joint session with officials from the cities of
Albertville and St. Michael on Monday, March 30, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. in the St. Michael City
Center.

Behle.
City of Albertville Present: Mayor: Jillian Hendrickson; Councilors Walter Hudson, Rob Olson,
Larry Sorensen; and City Administrator Adam Nafstad.
City of St. Michael Present: Mayor Jerry Zachman; Councilors: Cody Gulick, Joe Marx, Nadine
Schoen, and Chris Schumm; City Administrator Steve Bot, Community Development Director
Marc Weigle, and City Clerk Diana Berning.
The meeting was called to order at 6:05 p.m. St. Michael Councilors Schumm/Marx moved to
set the agenda.
FYCC Update
Superintendent Dr. Behle provided a brief update on FYCC. He introduced Nicole Rice to the
group and noted she was hired about a year ago as an assistant for the program. He said FYCC
is working on maintaining more accurate and timely budget reports and is continuing to evolve
to meet the needs of the community. Behle said the FYCC board recently approved purchasing
new scheduling software, which should help make ball field scheduling less labor intensive and
more user friendly. It was commented that attendance for recent FYCC events has been really
good.
Yellow Ribbon Update
Brad Cedergren and Nicole Rice were present to update the group on the process and action plan
for establishing a Yellow Ribbon network in the St. Michael -Albertville community. The
members were provided with information regarding the program and the minimum requirements
necessary to be considered a Yellow Ribbon community. Cedergren reviewed the different
requirements for both the cities and the School District. It was noted the Yellow Ribbon
Steering Committee meets the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the FYCC office. The
group thanked Cedergren and Rice for their work in establishing St. Michael -Albertville as a
Yellow Ribbon Community.
School Capacity and City Development Update
The members present were provided with data regarding current student enrollment and the
maximum capacities at each of the STMA school buildings. Behle reviewed the numbers with
the group and stated there is capacity in all of the existing school buildings. He also noted there
are currently about 300 STMA families who open enroll outside of the district and 500 outside
families who open enroll into the district. He said the district is expecting enrollment to remain
fairly stable over the next few years and if it were projected that buildings would start to reach
maximum capacity, the district could stop allowing families to open enroll into the district.
There was brief discussion on the impact that universal statewide preschool would have on the
district.
St. Michael Administrator Bot provided a development update and showed a few areas where
housing development could begin in the next year. It was noted most of the future residential
Agenda Page 9
March 30, 2015 - Joint Meeting - Page 2
development would be on the west side of St. Michael, which is where there is also the most
capacity available in the STMA schools. For commercial/industrial development, there is a
Goodyear Auto opening soon and a Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop later this year. A few industrial
users have expanded with either new buildings or additions on existing buildings. Albertville
Administrator Nafstad also commented on upcoming new commercial development in
Albertville, including a dollar store and expansions for Mold Tech and Old Castle.
There was also discussion about installing a crosswalk across St. Michael Parkway for students
in the Cascades Development to use to get to St. Michael Elementary, but for now the plan is to
bus them to the school.
Legislative Update (Education Equity & Transportation)
STMA School Board Chairman Birk provided an update on the education equity funding issue.
Those present were provided with a draft letter and Birk said the School District is asking both
cities to review the letter and give approval to send it on behalf of the School Board and both
City Councils to various state legislatures. The district would like to send the letter by mid -
April. There was additional discussion on how city elected officials can help with the equity
issue, and it was noted their involvement does help in gaining more awareness of the issue.
Bot also spoke about the progress on I-94 and the work of the I-94 Coalition to continue to
advocate for transportation funding throughout the entire state. The Corridors of Commerce
program has worked well and it is hoped that with the focus on transportation this session that
there will be approvals for further expansion of I-94.
Solar Garden and Electricity Savings Update
St. Michael Community Development Director Weigle explained the city has been approached
by a few developers who are interested in setting up 10-20 acre sites for solar gardens that would
sell the energy generated to other users. The Planning Commission conceptually talked about
allowing them outside of the anticipated 20 year development area as an interim use.
Behle said the school has been contacted by developers who want to sell the energy generated
from the solar gardens. It is estimated that by purchasing the energy generated by solar panels,
the School District could save approximately $100,000/year on the school's energy bills.
STMA Ice Arena Update
St. Michael Councilor Schumm provided a brief update on the Ice Arena. He noted the new
dehumidification system is working well, although the natural gas usage went up quite a bit with
the new system. Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission recently completed a market study for
a second sheet of ice and the Arena Board is working with Youth Hockey on the next steps and
follow up from that report.
St. Michael Councilor Marx shared some history from when his dad served on the School Board
and the Board's decision to build a High School, with the first graduating class in 1969. It's
amazing to see how the School District has changed and grown since then.
Other Updates
There were no other updates to report on.
St. Michael Councilors Marx/Schumm moved to adjourn at 7:23 p.m. All voted aye.

April 15, 2015
SUBJECT: CONSENT — FINANCE — RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND DOCUMENTING INTER -
FUND LOANS/ADVANCES FROM THE SEWER ACCESS FUND
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2015-011 entitled a Resolution Authorizing and
Documenting Inter -Fund Loans to Fund Negative Fund balances.
Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to 2003A GO Imp Bond Fund (357) in
the amount of $769,638 to fund the negative balance in the debt service fund; and,
Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to Prairie Run Capital Project Fund
(473) in the amount of $751,251 to fund the negative balance in the capital project fund.
Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to TIF Fund 14 (414) in the amount of
$170,000 to fund the negative balance in the fund.
BACKGROUND: Throughout the year, the City Council approves projects with plans to issue
bonds or some other type of financing at a later time. Inter -fund loans provide interim financing
until the other financing is completed. In some cases, inter -fund loans are the primary source to
finance projects that have a very short financing term. An example of this is carrying
assessments for a project for a few years where it is not cost effective to issue new debt. At least
annually, City staff and auditors review and recommend inter -fund loans/advances to fund
running negative balances so as to remain in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP).
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and Council's policy to review and approve all
inter -fund loans/advances.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: At least annually, the City must fund all negative running
balances for Capital Projects, Debt Service or other miscellaneous funds in accordance with
General Accounting Principals (GAAP). The inter -fund loan or advance is a loan from the
Sewer Access Charge Fund (SAC) to the respective negative balance funds at an interest rate
equal to the rate of investment earned by the City's investments. Included in the loan is a
financial commitment detailing the source of funds to repay the loan. These inter -fund loans are
an inexpensive way to fund some City activities instead of issuing bonds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to review and direct
staff to take action regarding all financial matters.

SUBJECT: PLANNING - MOLD TECH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve the following resolutions:
• Resolution No. 2015-012 Approving the Establishment of TIF District No. 16
• Resolution No. 2015-013 Approving Contract and TIF Note
• Resolution No. 2015-014 Approving Interfund and Administration Costs
BACKGROUND: Mold Tech is a local industry that was established in 1998 and produces
molds for plastic parts for medical equipment and other devices. This is a clean industry with
high paying jobs. In 2014, Mold Tech approached the City to explain their needs for expansion.
At that time, they were exploring either expanding at the current location or moving the business
to Monticello to a new constructed larger building.
Consistent with the City's Vision Study goals to retain and expand the City's industrial land use,
tax base and local employment opportunities, City staff met with Mold Tech to discuss options to
keep them in Albertville. The City offered TIF assistance provided Mold Tech made the
following commitments:
1. Purchase the current Mold Tech site and building.
2. Mold Tech constructs a 12,000 square foot building addition. The construction shall be
masonry and have a construction value of $55 per square foot.
3. Mold Tech submits a building and site plan that complies with performance standards of
the Albertville Zoning Ordinance.
4. Mold Tech pay all building permit fees.
In response to the Mold Tech commitments, the City offers the following:
The City would establish an economic development TIF District over the Mold Tech site.
The collected TIF would be used to cover the following:
a. The City will defer the SAC/WAC and allow Mold Tech to pay them over time.
After the payment of SAC/WAC the city will reimburse Mold Tech for these
costs using TIF receipts.
b. The balance of TIF funds would be given to Mold Tech for TIF eligible expenses
(grading, parking lot, footings, etc.).

Mold Tech Economic Development TIF Page 2 of 2
2. The City will give Mold Tech first right of refusal of Lot 1, Block 4, Barthel's Industrial
Park 2n Addition.
KEY ISSUES:
Mold Tech's ownership formed Glacier Ridge Properties LLC and has acquired the
Mold Tech site and building.
Mold Tech has submitted a site and building plan development application for review by
the Planning Commission in May.
The TIF will be "pay as you go" where TIF payments to the City and Mold Tech will be
paid annually as collected over the term of the TIF District.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The approval of TIF assistance is consistent
with the stated economic development goals of Albertville's Vision Study.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed TIF assistance is a "pay as you go"
program meaning the City will only pay out monies as they are annually received by the County.
The City will be using an inter -fund loan to pay upfront administrative costs of associated with
setting up the TIF plan and contracts. This loan will be paid back to the city with interest from
the collected TIF funds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: As specified in the resolution, the TIF Plan is to be created in
conformance with State Statutes. The obligations of both Mold Tech, Glacier Ridge Properties
LLC and the City are outlined and assigned through a contract for private development to be
entered into by both parties.

OF ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA
HELD: April 20, 2015
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City
of Albertville, Wright County, Minnesota, was duly called and held on the 201h day of April,
2015, at approximately 7:00 p.m.

Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION 2015-012
RESOLUTION MODIFYING MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1
AND MODIFYING THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THEREFOR AND
ESTABLISHING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT)
DISTRICT NO. 16 THEREIN, AND APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
THEREFOR
WHEREAS:
A. It has been proposed that the City of Albertville, Minnesota (the "City") modify
Municipal Development District No. 1 (the "Development District") and approve a modification
to the Development Program therefor, establish Tax Increment Financing (Economic
Development) District No. 16 (the "TIF District") therein and approve and accept the proposed
Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") therefor, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.124 through 469.134 and Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794,
both inclusive, as amended (the "Act"); and
B. The City Council has investigated the facts and has caused to be prepared a
proposed modification to the Development Program for the Development District, and has
caused to be prepared a proposed TIF Plan for the TIF District; and
C. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the
modification of the Development District and TIF District, and the adoption of the modified
Development Program and the proposed TIF Plan therefor, including, but not limited to,
notification of Wright County and St. Michael -Albertville Public Schools (ISD 9885) having
taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the TIF District and the holding of a public
hearing upon published and mailed notice as required by law.
Agenda Page 21
City of Albertville
Resolution No. 2015-012
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Albertville
as follows:
1. Municipal Development District No. 1. The modified Development
Program for the Development District contained in Article II of the TIF Plan for the TIF District
is hereby ratified and affirmed.
2. Tax Increment Financing (Economic Development) District No. 16. The
TIF District is hereby established in the City within the Development District, the initial
boundaries of which are fixed and determined as described in the TIF Plan for the TIF District.
3. Tax Increment Financing Plan. The TIF Plan is adopted as the tan
increment financing plan for the TIF District, and the City Council makes the following findings:
(a) The TIF District is an economic development district as defined in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 12; the proposed assistance is for an expansion to an
existing manufacturing facility, as described below.
(b) Development in the TIF District will create or retain jobs in this state. The
developer of this project has provided estimates of the jobs created and retained, and will be
contractually obligated to meet certain job and wage goals as required under Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 116J.993 — 116J.995.
(c) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not
occur solely through private investment. The reasons supporting this finding are that:
(i) The need for the use of tax increment financing has been determined in
negotiations with the developer of the project. The developer has
provided supporting materials to attest to inability to undertake the project
without the assistance provided by the City. The extraordinary cost of the
site improvements and preparation costs, and required utilities have
proven to be prohibitive. Tax increments are needed to assist with these
development costs for the property.
(ii) The proposed project will allow a business to attract and retain businesses
and new development into the area in and around the industrial business
area of the City. The proposed development consists of the construction
of an approximately 12,000 square foot expansion to an existing 12,130
square foot manufacturing facility on property within the City. Retaining
this business and related jobs is important to the economic future of the
community.
(iii) Private investment will not finance these development activities because
of the prohibitive costs of the underlying infrastructure. It is necessary to
finance a portion of these costs through the use of tax increment financing.

Agenda Page 22
City of Albertville
Resolution No. 2015-012
(iv) A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without
establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments has been
performed as described above. Such analysis is found in Exhibit I of the
TIF Plan, and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the
proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the
estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the TIF
District and the use of tax increments.
(v) In the opinion of the City Council, the increased market value of the site
that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value
estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the
present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of
the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan. The reasons supporting this
finding can be found in Exhibit I of the TIF Plan.
(d) The TIF Plan for the TIF District conforms to the general plan for
development of the City as a whole.
The reasons for supporting this finding are that:
(i) The TIF District is properly zoned; and
(ii) The TIF Plan will generally complement and serve to implement policies
adopted in the City's comprehensive plan.
(e) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the Development
District by private enterprise.
The reasons supporting this finding are that the development activities are necessary so
that development and redevelopment by private enterprise can occur within the Development
District.
4. Public Purpose. The adoption of the Development Program for the
Development District, and the adoption of the TIF Plan for the TIF District therein conform in all
respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to provide employment
opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State and
thereby serves a public purpose.
5. Certification and Filing. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to
transmit a certified copy of this resolution together with a certified copy of the TIF Plan to the
Auditor of Wright County with a request that the original tax capacity of the property within the
TIF District be certified to the City pursuant to Section 469.177, Subd. I of the Act, and to file a
copy of the Development Program and the TIF Plan with the Minnesota Commissioner of
Revenue and State Auditor as required by the Act.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
RESOLUTION NO. 2015-014
AUTHORIZING INTERFUND LOAN FOR
ADVANCE OF CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 16
BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Albertville,
Minnesota (the "City") as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. The City has established Tax Increment Financing District No. 16 (the "TIF
District") within Municipal Development District No. 1 (the "Development District") pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, as amended (the "TIF Act") and Sections
469.124 to 469.134, as amended (the "Municipal Development Act").
1.02. The City may incur certain costs related to the TIF District which may be
financed on a temporary basis from available City funds.
1.03. Under Section 469.178, Subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, the City is authorized to
advance or loan money from any fund from which such advances may be legally made in order
to finance expenditures that are eligible to be paid with tax increments under the TIF Act.
1.04. The City has determined that it may pay for administrative costs associated with
the establishment and ongoing administration of the TIF District (the "Administrative Costs
Advance") on a temporary basis from the General Fund or any other fund from which such
advances may be legally made as an interfund loan pursuant to Section 469.178, Subd. 7 of the
TIF Act.
1.05. The City hereby designates the Administrative Costs Advance as an interfund
loan in accordance with the terms of this resolution and the TIF Act.
Section 2. Repayment of Interfund Loan.
2.01. The City will reimburse itself for the Administrative Costs Advance in an amount
not to exceed $12,000, together with interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum (the "Interfund
Loan"). Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of each advance. The interest
rate is no more than the greatest of the rate specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40
and Section 549.09, both in effect for calendar year 2015, and will not be adjusted.
2.02. Principal and interest ("Payments") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semi-
annually on each February 1 and August 1 (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first
Payment Date on which the City has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other
459502v1 MNI AL141-63
Agenda Page 34
City of Albertville
Resolution No. 2015-014
dates determined by the City Administrator, through the date of last receipt of tax increment
from the TIF District.
2.03. Payments on the Interfund Loan will be made solely from Available Tax
Increment, defined as 10% of the tax increment from the TIF District received by the City from
Wright County in the six-month period before any Payment Date. Payments shall be applied
first to accrued interest, and then to unpaid principal. Interest accruing from the Loan Date will
be compounded semiannually on February I and August 1 of each year and added to principal
until the first Payment Date, unless otherwise specified by the City Administrator. Available
Tax Increment shall be applied to payment on the Interfund Loan and for no other purpose until
the Interfund Loan is fully paid or forgiven as provided in Section 2.06 hereof. Payments on this
Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds, notes, or contracts
secured in whole or in part with available tax increment, and are on a parity with any other
outstanding or future interfund loans secured in whole or in part with available tax increment.
2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this resolution is pre-
payable in whole or in part at any time by the City without premium or penalty.
2.05. This resolution is evidence of an internal borrowing by the City in accordance
with Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely
from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. The
Interfund Loan shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota
or any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the City. Neither the State of
Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or
interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax
Increment. The City shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan
or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.
2.06. The City may at any time make a determination to forgive the outstanding
principal amount and accrued interest on the Interfund Loan to the extent permissible under law.
2.07. The City may from time to time amend the terms of this Resolution to the extent
permitted by law, including without limitation amendment to the payment schedule and the
interest rate; provided that the interest rate may not be increased above the maximum specified in
Section 469.178. subd. 7 of the TIF Act.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon execution in full of the
Contract for Private Development between the City, Glacier Ridge Properties LLC, and Mold -
Tech, Inc.

4589160 MNI AL141-63 8
Agenda Page 47
aforementioned qualified uses, the Minimum Improvements will not constitute a Qualified
Facility.
(7) The Lessee does not have a parent corporation.
(8) The Lessee has not received, and does not expect to receive, financial
assistance from any other "grantor" as defined in the Business Subsidy Act, in connection
with the Development Property or the Minimum Improvements.
(b) Job and Wage Goals. The "Benefit Date" of the assistance provided in this Agreement
is the earlier of the date of issuance of a certificate of completion for the Minimum Improvements or
the date the Minimum Improvements are occupied by Lessee. Within two years after the Benefit
Date (the "Compliance Date"), the Lessee shall (i) create at least 3 new full-time equivalent jobs on
the Development Property, and (ii) cause the average hourly wage of the 3 created jobs to be at least
$14.00 per hour, exclusive of benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties
hereto agree that the creation of any job by Lessee on or after April 1, 2015 that satisfies the job and
wage goals described in this paragraph shall be counted for purposes of determining Lessee's
satisfaction of such job and wage goals, despite the Lessee's continuing obligations under Sections
3.4(a)(6) and 3.4(d). The City may, after a public hearing, extend the Compliance Date by up to one
year, provided that nothing in this section will be construed to limit the City's legislative discretion
regarding this matter.
(c) Remedies. If the Lessee fails to meet the goals described in Section 3.4(a)(3), the Lessee
shall repay to the City upon written demand from the City a "pro rata share" of the Public
Development Costs together with interest on that amount at the implicit price deflator as defined in
the Business Subsidy Act, accrued from the date of substantial completion of the Minimum
Improvements to the date of payment. The term "pro rata share" means percentages calculated as
follows:
(i) if the failure relates to the number of jobs, the jobs required less the jobs created,
divided by the jobs required;
(ii) if the failure relates to wages, the number of jobs required less the number of
jobs that meet the required wages, divided by the number of j obs required;
(iii) if the failure relates to maintenance of the facility as a Qualified Facility in
accordance with Section 3.4(a)(6), 60 less the number of months of operation as a Qualified
Facility (where any month in which the Qualified Facility is in operation for at least 15 days
constitutes a month of operation), commencing on the Benefit Date and ending with the date
the Qualified Facility ceases operation as determined by the City Representative, divided by
60; and
(iv) if more than one of clauses (i) through (iii) apply, the sum of the applicable
percentages, not to exceed 100%.

Agenda Page 48
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the City's remedies under Article IX
hereof In addition to the remedy described in this Section and any other remedy available to the
City for failure to meet the goals stated in Section 3.4(a)(3), the Lessee agrees and understands that
it may not a receive a business subsidy from the City or any grantor (as defined in the Business
Subsidy Act) for a period of five years from the date of the failure or until the Lessee satisfies its
repayment obligation under this Section, whichever occurs first.
(d) Reports. The Lessee must submit to the City a written report regarding business subsidy
goals and results by no later than February 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2016 and
continuing until the later of (i) the date the goals stated Section 3.4(a)(3) are met; (ii) 30 days after
expiration of the period described in Section 3.4(a)(6); or (iii) if the goals are not met, the date the
subsidy is repaid in accordance with Section 3.4(c). The report must comply with Section 116J.994,
subdivision 7 of the Business Subsidy Act. The City will provide information to the Lessee
regarding the required forms. If the Lessee fails to timely file any report required under this
Section, the City will mail the Lessee a warning within one week after the required filing date. If,
after 14 days of the postmarked date of the warning, the Lessee fails to provide a report, the Lessee
must pay to the City a penalty of $100 for each subsequent day until the report is filed. The
maximum aggregate penalty payable under this Section is $1 NO.
Section 3.5. Payment of Administrative Costs. The parties agree that "Administrative
Costs" will be paid from the City's authorized administrative allowance of Tax Increment, and that
neither the Developer nor the Lessee has any obligation to reimburse the City for such expenditures.
For purposes of this section, "Administrative Costs" means out of pocket costs incurred by the City
together with staff costs of the City, all attributable to or incurred in connection with the negotiation
and preparation of this Agreement, the TIF Plan, and other documents and agreements in connection
with the development of the Development Property.

keep the Minimum Improvements or cause the Minimum Improvements to be maintained,
preserved and kept with the appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof, in good repair and
condition.
Section 4.2. Construction Plans. (a) Before commencement of construction of the
Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall submit to the City completed Construction Plans.
The Construction Plans shall provide for the construction of the Minimum Improvements and
shall be in conformity with the Development Plan, the TIF Plan, this Agreement, and all
applicable State and local laws and regulations. The City will approve the Construction Plans in
writing if. (i) the Construction Plans conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii)
the Construction Plans conform to the goals and objectives of the Development Plan; (iii) the
Construction Plans conform to all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations; (iv) the Construction Plans are adequate to provide for construction of the Minimum
Improvements; (v) the Construction Plans do not provide for expenditures in excess of the funds
available to the Developer for construction of the Minimum Improvements; and (vi) no Event of
Default has occurred. No approval by the City shall relieve the Developer of the obligation to
comply with the terms of this Agreement or of the Development Plan, applicable federal, state
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, or to construct the Minimum Improvements in
accordance therewith. No approval by the City shall constitute a waiver of an Event of Default.
If approval of the Construction Plans is requested by the Developer in writing at the time of
submission, such Construction Plans shall be deemed approved unless rejected in writing by the
City, in whole or in part. Such rejections shall set forth in detail the reasons therefor, and shall
be made within 30 days after the date of their receipt by the City. If the City rejects any
Construction Plans in whole or in part, the Developer shall submit new or corrected Construction
Plans within 30 days after written notification to the Developer of the rejection. The provisions
of this Section relating to approval, rejection and resubmission of corrected Construction Plans
shall continue to apply until the Construction Plans have been approved by the City. The City's
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Said approval shall constitute a conclusive
determination that the Construction Plans (and the Minimum Improvements, constructed in
accordance with said plans) comply to the City's satisfaction with the provisions of this
Agreement relating thereto.
(b) If the Developer desires to make any material change in the Construction Plans
after their approval by the City, the Developer shall submit the proposed change to the City for
its approval. If the Construction Plans, as modified by the proposed change, conform to the
requirements of this Section 4.2 of this Agreement with respect to such previously approved
Construction Plans, the City shall approve the proposed change and notify the Developer in
writing of its approval. Such change in the Construction Plans shall, in any event, be deemed
4589160 MNI AL141-63 11
Agenda Page 50
approved by the City unless rejected, in whole or in part, by written notice by the City to the
Developer, setting forth in detail the reasons therefor. Such rejection shall be made within ten
(10) days after receipt of the notice of such change. The City's approval of any such change in
the Construction Plans will not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 4.3. Commencement and Completion of Construction. Subject to Unavoidable
Delays, the Developer must commence construction of the Minimum Improvements by no later
than July 31, 2015. Subject to Unavoidable Delays, the Developer must substantially complete
construction of the Minimum Improvements by December 31, 2015. All work with respect to
the Minimum Improvements to be constructed or provided by the Developer on the Development
Property shall be in conformity with the Construction Plans as submitted by the Developer and
approved by the City.
The Developer agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, and every successor in interest
to the Development Property, or any part thereof, that the Developer, and such successors and
assigns, shall promptly begin and diligently prosecute to completion the Development of the
Development Property through the construction of the Minimum Improvements thereon, and that
such construction shall in any event be commenced and completed within the period specified in
this Section 4.3 of this Agreement. Until construction of the Minimum Improvements by the
Developer has been completed, the Developer shall make reports, in such detail and at such
times as may reasonably be requested by the City, as to the actual progress of the Developer with
respect to such construction.
Section 4.4. Certificate of Completion. (a) Promptly after substantial completion of the
Minimum Improvements in accordance with those provisions of the Agreement relating solely to
the obligations of the Developer to construct the Minimum Improvements (including the dates
for beginning and completion thereof), the City will furnish the Developer with a Certificate of
Completion in substantially the form provided in Schedule C. Such certification by the City
shall be (and it shall be so provided in the certification itself) a conclusive determination of
satisfaction and termination of the agreements and covenants in the Agreement with respect to
the obligations of the Developer, and its successors and assigns, to construct the Minimum
Improvements and the dates for the beginning and completion thereof. Such certification and
such determination shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any
obligation of the Developer or Lessee to any Holder of a Mortgage, or any insurer of a Mortgage,
securing money loaned to finance the Minimum Improvements, or any part thereof.
(b) The certificate provided for in this Section 4.4 of this Agreement shall be in such
form as will enable it to be recorded in the proper office for the recordation of deeds and other
instruments pertaining to the Development Property. If the City shall refuse or fail to provide
any certification in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4 of this Agreement, the City
shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by the Developer, provide the Developer with a
written statement, indicating in adequate detail in what respects the Developer has failed to
complete the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, or is
otherwise in default, and what measures or acts it will be necessary, in the opinion of the City,
for the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification.

during the process of constructing the Minimum Improvements an All Risk Broad Form Basis
Insurance Policy and, from time to time during that period, at the request of the City, furnish the
City with proof of payment of premiums on policies covering the following:
(i) Builder's risk insurance, written on the so-called "Builder's Risk --
Completed Value Basis," in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
insurable value of the Minimum Improvements at the date of completion, and with
coverage available in nonreporting form on the so-called "all risk" form of policy. The
interest of the City shall be protected in accordance with a clause in form and content

Termination Date, the Developer shall cause the Lessee to maintain, at its cost and expense, and
from time to time at the request of the City shall furnish proof of the payment of premiums on,
insurance as follows:

Agenda Page 53
(c) All insurance required in Article V of this Agreement shall be taken out and
maintained in responsible insurance companies selected by the Developer or the Lessee that are
authorized under the laws of the State to assume the risks covered thereby. Upon request, the
Developer or Lessee will deposit annually with the City policies evidencing all such insurance, or a
certificate or certificates or binders of the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force
and effect. Unless otherwise provided in this Article V of this Agreement each policy shall contain
a provision that the insurer shall not cancel nor modify it in such a way as to reduce the coverage
provided below the amounts required herein without giving written notice to the Developer or
Lessee and the City at least 30 days before the cancellation or modification becomes effective. In
lieu of separate policies, the Developer or Lessee may maintain a single policy, blanket or umbrella
policies, or a combination thereof, having the coverage required herein, in which event the
Developer or Lessee shall deposit with the City a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers
as to the amount of coverage in force upon the Minimum Improvements.
(d) The Developer agrees to notify the City immediately in the case of damage
exceeding $100,000 in amount to, or destruction of, the Minimum Improvements or any portion
thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. In such event the Developer or the Lessee will
forthwith repair, reconstruct, and restore the Minimum Improvements to substantially the same or
an improved condition or value as it existed prior to the event causing such damage and, to the
extent necessary to accomplish such repair, reconstruction, and restoration, the Developer or Lessee
will apply the net proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage received by the Developer or
Lessee to the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof.
The Developer or Lessee shall complete the repair, reconstruction and restoration of the
Minimum Improvements, regardless of whether the net proceeds of insurance received by the
Developer or Lessee for such purposes are sufficient to pay for the same. Any net proceeds
remaining after completion of such repairs, construction, and restoration shall be the property of the
Developer or Lessee, as applicable.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event
of damage to the Minimum Improvements in excess of $100,000, if the Developer or Lessee fails to
complete any repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Minimum Improvements within three years
from the date of damage, the City may, at its option, terminate the Note as provided in Section 9.2
hereof.
(f) The Developer, the Lessee, and the City agree that all of the insurance provisions set
forth in this Article V shall terminate upon the Termination Date.
Section 5.2. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article V, the rights of the City with respect to the receipt and application of any proceeds of
insurance shall, in all respects, be subject and subordinate to the rights of any lender under a
Mortgage approved pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement.

Delinquent Taxes and Review of Taxes
Section 6.1. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes. Developer agrees for itself, its
successors and assigns, that in addition to the obligation pursuant to statute to pay real estate
taxes, it is also obligated by reason of this Agreement to pay before delinquency, or to cause
Lessee to pay before delinquency, all real estate taxes assessed against the Development Property
and the Minimum Improvements. The Developer acknowledges that this obligation creates a
contractual right on behalf of the City through the Termination Date to sue the Developer or its
successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty or interest thereon
and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the county auditor. In any such suit in which the
City is the prevailing party, the City shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses and
reasonable attorney fees.
Section 6.2. Review of Taxes. The Developer and Lessee agree that prior to the
Termination Date they will not cause a reduction in the real property taxes paid in respect of the
Development Property through: (a) willful destruction of the Development Property or any part
thereof, or (b) willful refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property pursuant to Section
5.1 of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(e). The Developer and
Lessee also agree that they will not, prior to the Termination Date, apply for a deferral of
property tax on the Development Property pursuant to any law, or transfer or permit transfer of
the Development Property to any entity whose ownership or operation of the property would
result in the Development Property being exempt from real estate taxes under State law (other
than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the City or City in accordance with this
Agreement).

Financing
Section 7.1. Financing. (a) Before issuance of the Note to the Lessee, the Developer
shall submit to the City evidence of one or more commitments for mortgage financing which,
together with committed equity for such construction, is sufficient for the construction of the
Minimum Improvements. Such commitments may be submitted as short term financing, long
term mortgage financing, a bridge loan with a long-term take-out financing commitment, or any
combination of the foregoing. Such commitment or commitments for short term or long term
mortgage financing shall be subject only to such conditions as are normal and customary in the
mortgage banking industry.
(b) If the City finds that the mortgage financing is sufficiently committed and
adequate in amount to provide for the construction of the Minimum Improvements, then the City
shall notify the Developer in writing of its approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld and either approval or rejection shall be given within thirty (30) days from the date
when the City is provided the evidence of financing. A failure by the City to respond to such
evidence of financing shall be deemed to constitute an approval hereunder. If the City rejects the
evidence of financing as inadequate, it shall do so in writing specifying the basis for the
rejection. In any event the Developer shall submit adequate evidence of financing within thirty
(30) days after such rejection. Approval of any subordination agreement under Section 7.3
hereof will constitute approval of financing for the purposes of this Section.
Section 7.2. CitsOption to Cure Default on Mortgage. In the event that there occurs a
default under any Mortgage authorized pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the Developer
shall cause the City to receive copies of any notice of default received by the Developer from the
holder of such Mortgage. Thereafter, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure
any such default on behalf of the Developer within such cure periods as are available to the
Developer under the Mortgage documents. In the event there is an event of default under this
Agreement, the City will transmit to the Holder of any Mortgage a copy of any notice of default
given by the City pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement.
Section 7.3. Subordination and Modification for the Benefit of Mortgagee. In order to
facilitate the Developer obtaining financing for construction of the Minimum Improvements
according to the Construction Plans, the City agrees to subordinate its rights under this
Agreement, provided that (a) such subordination shall be subject to such reasonable terms and
conditions as the City and Holder mutually agree in writing, and (b) the City's obligation to
subordinate is contingent on the City's approval of the financing in accordance with Section 7.1
hereof.

Prohibitions Against Assignment and Transfer; Indemnification
Section 8.1. Representation as to Development. The Developer represents and agrees

pursuant to this Agreement, are, and will be used, for the purpose of Development of the
Development Property and not for speculation in land holding.
Section 8.2. Prohibition Against Developer's Transfer of Property and Assignment of
Agreement. The Developer represents and agrees that until the Termination Date:
(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining
financing necessary to enable the Developer or any successor in interest to the Development
Property, or any part thereof, to perform its obligations with respect to making the Minimum
Improvements under this Agreement, and any other purpose authorized by this Agreement, the
Developer has not made or created and will not make or create or suffer to be made or created
any total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or lease, or any trust or power, or transfer in
any other mode or form of or with respect to the Agreement or the Development Property or any
part thereof or any interest therein (a "Transfer"), or any contract or agreement to do any of the
same, without the prior written approval of the City unless the Developer remains liable and
bound by this Development Agreement in which event the City's approval is not required. Any
such Transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. It is expressly understood
that the Lease between the Developer and Lessee does not constitute a Transfer for purposes of
this Agreement.
(b) In the event the Developer, upon Transfer or assignment of the Development
Property or any portion thereof, seeks to be released from its obligations under this Development
Agreement as to the portions of the Development Property that is transferred or assigned, the
City shall be entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, as conditions to
any such release that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial
responsibility, in the reasonable judgment of the City, necessary and adequate to fulfill
the obligations undertaken in this Agreement by the Developer as to the portion of the
Development Property to be transferred.
(ii) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the City
and in form recordable among the land records, shall, for itself and its successors and
assigns, and expressly for the benefit of the City, have expressly assumed all of the
obligations of the Developer under this Agreement as to the portion of the Development
Property to be transferred and agreed to be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to
which the Developer is subject as to such portion; provided, however, that the fact that
any transferee of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever to, the Development
Property, or any part thereof, shall not, for whatever reason, have assumed such
4589160 MNI AL141-63 18
Agenda Page 57
obligations or so agreed, and shall not (unless and only to the extent otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement or agreed to in writing by the City) deprive the
City of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the Development Property or
any part thereof or the construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of
the parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to the fullest extent permitted at law and
in equity and excepting only in the manner and to the extent specifically provided
otherwise in this Agreement) no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the
Development Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated
or occurring, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall operate, legally or practically, to
deprive or limit the City of or with respect to any rights or remedies on controls provided
in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the Minimum Improvements that the
City would have had, had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of
specific written agreement by the City to the contrary, no such transfer or approval by the
City thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer, or any other party bound in any
way by this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the construction of the Minimum
Improvements, from any of its obligations with respect thereto.
(iii) Any and all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting
the Transfer of any interest in this Agreement or the Development Property governed by
this Article VIII, shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the City.
In the event the foregoing conditions are satisfied then the Developer shall be released from its
obligation under this Agreement, as to the portion of the Development Property that is
transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed.
Section 8.3. Release and Indemnification Covenants. (a) The Developer and Lessee

proceeding whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever arising or purportedly arising from
this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or the acquisition, construction,
installation, ownership, and operation of the Minimum Improvements.

Events of Default
Section 9.1. Events of Default Defined. The following shall be "Events of Default"
under this Agreement and the term "Event of Default" shall mean, whenever it is used in this
Agreement (unless the context otherwise provides):
(a) any failure by any party to observe or perform any other covenant, condition,

9.2 after providing thirty days written notice to the defaulting party of the Event of Default, but
only if the Event of Default has not been cured within said thirty days or, if the Event of Default
is by its nature incurable within thirty days, the defaulting party does not provide assurances
reasonably satisfactory to the non -defaulting party that the Event of Default will be cured and
will be cured as soon as reasonably possible:

contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the
other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be

ARTICLE II - DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
SECTION 2.01 OVERVIEW
The City established the Development District and the related Development Program as a
tool to achieve the objectives described in Section 2.02. The Development District was first
approved in April, 1981 and has been modified subsequently. The Development District serves
as the Project Area for tax increment financing districts established within its boundaries. The
Development Program describes the City's objectives for the development of this area and the
use of tax increment financing.
Current modifications to the Development Program include budget revisions to coincide with
the TIF Plan relating to the TIF District.
This modified Development Program is intended to restate and expand on the original program
and all prior amendments hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference. Nothing in
this modification is intended to supersede or alter the activities described in the original
Development Program.
SECTION 2.02 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The modifications of the Development District pursuant to the Development District Act are
necessary and in the best interests of the City and its residents and are necessary to give the
City the ability to meet certain public purpose objectives that would not be obtainable in the
foreseeable future without intervention by the City in the normal development process.
The current proposed development is consistent with the established "Statement of Objectives"
documented by the original Development Program.
SECTION 2.03 BOUNDARIES OF DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
The boundaries of the Development District are depicted in Exhibit V. The boundaries of the
Development District are coterminous with the boundaries of the City.

Numbers 1 through 15, inclusive.
SECTION 2.04 DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
The proposed development activities within the Development District are consistent with the
goals, objectives, and plans expressed by the Development Program. The current modifications
to the Development Program relate to plans by the Developer to expand an existing
manufacturing facility within the City.
SECTION 2.05 PAYMENT OF PROJECT COSTS
Project Costs and the plan for their payment have been described in detail in each Tax Increment
Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District Numbers 1 through 15, as authorized by the
City, which are incorporated herein by reference. The City now anticipates additional Project
Costs to be financed in part with tax increments expected to be generated by new development
within the TIF District. Project Costs and related data for such efforts are set forth in the TIF
Plan for the TIF District. The TIF Plan for the TIF District accompanies these modifications to the

Park and open space within the Development District, if created, will be created in accordance
with the Development Program and City's comprehensive plan and zoning and subdivision
ordinances.
SECTION 2.08 PROPOSED REUSE OF PROPERTY
The Development Program anticipates that the City may acquire property and reconvey the
same to another entity. All parcels in the Development District are eligible for acquisition. In
acquiring land, the City Council will require the execution of a binding development agreement
with respect thereto and evidence that tax increments or other funds will be available to
repay the Project Costs associated with the proposed acquisition. It is the intent of the City to
negotiate the acquisition of property whenever possible. Appropriate restrictions regarding the
reuse and redevelopment of property shall be incorporated into any development agreement to
which the City is a party.
SECTION 2.09 ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE OF DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT
Maintenance and operation of the Development District will be the responsibility of the City
Administrator who shall serve as Administrator of the Development District. Each year the
Administrator will submit to the City the maintenance and operation budget for the following
year.
The Administrator will administer the Development District pursuant to the provisions of
Section 469.131 of the Development District Act; provided, however, that such powers may only
be exercised at the direction of the City Council. No action taken by the Administrator pursuant
to the above -mentioned powers shall be effective without authorization by the City Council.
SECTION 2.10 RELOCATION
Any person or business that is displaced as a result of the Development Program will be
relocated in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 117.50 to 117.56. The City accepts
its responsibility for providing for relocation assistance pursuant to Section 469.133 of the
Development District Act.
SECTION 2.11 AMENDMENTS
The City reserves the right to alter and amend the Development Program through future
modifications, subject to the provisions of state law regulating such action. The City specifically
continues to reserve the right to enlarge or reduce the size of the Development District and to
modify the Development Program.

ARTICLE III - TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
SECTION 3.01 STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The TIF District and this TIF Plan are established under the authority of the TIF Act.
SECTION 3.02 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
3.02.1 Description of Proposed Development
The City has been working to attract and retain businesses and new development into the
area in and around the central business district. The proposed development consists of the
construction of an approximately 12,000 square feet (SF) building to expand an existing 12,132
SF manufacturing facility. The planned development will result in an increase in tax base for
the City and new manufacturing jobs.
3.02.2 City Plans and Development Program
In addition to achieving the objectives of the Development Program, the planned development
is consistent with and works to achieve the development objectives of the City. The TIF Plan for
the TIF District conforms to the general plan for development of the City as a whole.
3.02.3 Land Acquisition
No acquisition of land by the City within the TIF District is anticipated.
3.02.4 Development Activities
As of the date of approval of the TIF Plan, the City anticipates that activities proposed in the TIF
Plan may be subject to contracts. The City anticipates entering into a contract with a Developer
to provide tax increment financing assistance to pay for Project Costs.
3.02.5 Need for Tax Increment Financing
In the opinion of the City, the proposed development would not reasonably be expected to
occur solely through private investment within the foreseeable future and the increased market
value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment
financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for
the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan.
The reasons and facts supporting this finding include the following. The City has determined
that no other development is expected to occur on the site that would create a greater market
value than the proposed expansion by the Developer, after adjusting for the tax increment
assistance. Analysis of the site shows that continued and expanded industrial use results in a
greater increase in market value than other possible land uses.
Furthermore, given the location of the property and the property's zoning classification,
housing or other commercial uses are not appropriate or likely for the site. The City finds that
without the use of tax increment financing, the proposed and preferred economic development
project will not occur.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of
the TIF District and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above and is
shown in Exhibit 1. This analysis indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the
proposed development (less the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum
duration permitted by the TIF Plan) exceeds the estimated market value of the site prior to the
establishment of the TIF District.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 16
SECTION 3.03 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
3.03.1 Designation
This TIF District is designated Tax Increment Financing (Economic Development) District No.
16 (Mold Tech).
3.03.2 Boundaries of TIF District
The boundaries of the TIF District are depicted in Exhibit V. The TIF District includes the
following parcel and adjacent right-of-way: 101-022-010030.
3.03.3 Type of District
The TIF District is established as an "economic development" district pursuant to Sections
469.174, Subd. 12 and 469.176, Subd. 4c of the TIF Act. These sections of the TIF Act provide that
tax increment from an economic development district may be used to provide improvements,
loans, subsidies, grants, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form to developments
consisting of buildings and ancillary facilities, if any of the following conditions are met:
(1) it will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing from moving their operations to
another state or municipality; or
(2) it will result in increased employment in the state; or
(3) it will result in preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the state.
Revenue derived from tax increment from an economic development district may not be used to
provide improvements, loans, subsidies, grants, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form
to developments consisting of buildings and ancillary facilities, if more than 15 percent of the
buildings and facilities (determined on the basis of square footage) are used for a purpose other
than:
(1) the manufacturing or production of tangible personal property, including processing
resulting in the change in condition of the property;
(2) warehousing, storage, and distribution of tangible personal property, excluding retail
sales;
(3) research and development related to the activities listed in clause (1) or (2);
(4) telemarketing if that activity is the exclusive use of the property;
(5) tourism facilities;
(6) qualified border retail facilities; or
(7) space necessary for and related to the activities listed in clauses (1) to (6).
The current project within the TIF District relates to plans by the Developer to expand its
existing manufacturing facility in the City, and therefore meets the requirements of an economic
development tax increment financing district.
SECTION 3.04 PLAN FOR USE OF TAX INCREMENT
3.04.1 Estimated Tax Increment
The original tax capacity of value of the TIF District will be set by the County upon request for
certification. The original tax capacity value may change over time based on the use and tax
classification of each parcel. For the purposes of this TIF Plan, the estimated original tax capacity
is $13,162. This amount is based on the most recent published estimated market value of the
property of $695,600 with tax capacity value calculated for commercial -industrial property.
The total tax capacity value of the property after completion of planned development is
DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARING DATED 4/20/15
Agenda Page 84
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 16
estimated to be $22,012. This amount is based on a total estimated market value of $1,175,600
with property classified as commercial -industrial. The difference between the total tax capacity
value and the original tax capacity value is the captured tax capacity value for the creation of tax
increment. It is the City's intent to retain 100% of the captured tax capacity value for the life of
the TIF district.
The total estimated local tax rate for taxes payable in 2015 is 146.088%. The TIF Plan assumes
that this rate will be set as the Original Tax Rate for the District.
Under these assumptions, the estimated annual tax increment upon completion of all phases
of redevelopment will be $12,929. The actual tax increment will vary according to the certified
original tax capacity value and original tax rate, the actual property value produced by the
proposed development and the changes in property value and State tax policy over the life of
the district.
Exhibit II contains the projected tax increment over the life of the TIF District.
3.04.2 Development Costs
The City will use tax increment to reimburse the Developer for Project Costs related to
expansion of its existing manufacturing facility.
The City reserves the right to use any other legally available revenues to finance or pay
for Project Cots associated with the development in the TIF District. The City anticipates
reimbursing the Developer for Project Costs related to site improvement and preparation costs
and utilities.
3.04.3 Estimated Sources and Uses of Funds
The estimated sources of revenue, along with the estimated Project Costs of the TIF District, are
itemized in Figure 3-1. The estimates are based on the best available information in the sources
and uses of funds. The Project Costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax increments from
the TIF District.

The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listed
above or to incorporate additional eligible items, so long as the Estimated Tax Increment Project
Costs are not increased.
3.04.4 Administrative Expense
The City will retain ten percent (10%) of annual tax increment revenues, less fees paid to the
State and County. The City will use these monies to pay for and reimburse the City for costs of
administering the TIF district allowed by the TIF Act. Based on current projections, this amount
is estimated to be $12,000 over the proposed life of the TIF District. Anticipated administrative
expenses of the TIF District include annual audit of the fund for the TIF District, preparation
of annual reporting, legal publication of annual report, and administration of the development
agreement. The City may also reimburse itself for costs associated with the establishment of the
TIF District, including the TIF Plan and the development assistance contract with the Developer.
3.04.5 County Road Costs
The proposed development will not substantially increase the use of county roads and
necessitate the need to use tax increments to pay for county road improvements.
DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARING DATED 4/20/15
Agenda Page 86
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 16
3.04.6 Bonded Indebtedness
The total amount of bonds estimated to be issued is $110,000. The City will not issue any
general obligation bonded indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. The City intends to use tax
increment financing to reimburse the developer on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The City reserves the right to loan or advance money from its general fund or any other fund it
has legal authority to use to finance qualifying TIF expenditures, such as costs of administering
the TIF District. An interfund loan or advance is defined in the TIF Act as a bond or a qualifying
obligation. Before money is transferred, advanced, or spent, the loan or advance shall be
authorized by resolution of the City. For the loan or advance to be repaid with TIF revenues,
an interfund loan agreement must be in place before any loans or advances are made. The
terms and conditions for repayment of the loan must be in writing and include, at minimum,
(i) the principal amount of the loan or advance, (ii) the interest rate to be charged, and (iii) its
maximum term. The maximum rate of interest that can be charged is limited to the annual rate
charged by the State Courts or by the Department of Revenue, whichever is greater.
3.04.7 Duration of TIF District
The TIF Act allows tax increments to be collected from the TIF District for a period not to exceed
eight (8) years after the date of receipt of the first tax increment. The City reserves the right to
collect tax increments for this period to undertake additional eligible activities in the TIF District
and the Development District.
Under the current schedule for development, the first tax increment is estimated to be collected
in 2017 (construction completed in 2015) creating the authority to collect tax increments through
December 31, 2025. The City will request decertification of the TIF District after reimbursement
of all eligible Project Costs and administrative expense but no later than the final year of tax
increment collection.
3.04.8 Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Exhibits III and IV show the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum
projected retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to
the other taxing jurisdictions. The City believes that there will be no adverse impact on other
taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed development would
not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is
decertified and the development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The City anticipates minimal impact of the proposed development on city -provided services. A
slight increase in water and sewer usage is expected. It is anticipated that there may be a slight
but manageable increase in police and fire protection duties due to the development.
3.04.9 Prior Planned Improvements
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with the
property within the TIF District. The City will include this statement with the request for
certification to the County Auditor. If building permits had been issued during this time period,
then the County Auditor would increase the original net tax capacity of the TIF District by the
net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued.

ARTICLE IV — ADMINISTERING THE TIF DISTRICT
SECTION 4.01 FILING AND CERTIFICATION
The filing and certification of the TIF Plan consists of the following steps:
1. Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the City shall submit a copy of the TIF Plan to the Minnesota
Department of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor.
2. The City shall request that the County Auditor certify the original net tax capacity and net
tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process, the City
shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting
the TIF Plan, and a listing of any prior planned improvements.
3. The City shall send the County Assessor any assessment agreement establishing the
minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that
the County Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.
SECTION 4.02 MODIFICATIONS OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
The City reserves the right to modify the TIF District and the TIF Plan. Under current State law,
the following actions can only be approved only after satisfying all the necessary requirements
for approval of the original TIF Plan (including notifications and public hearing):
■ Reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Development District or the TIF
District.
■ Increase in the amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred.
■ Increase in the amount of capitalized interest.
■ Increase in that portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the City.
■ Increase in the Estimated Tax Increment Project Costs (shown in Figure 3-1).
■ Designation of additional property to be acquired by the City.
Other modifications can be made by resolution of the City Council. In addition, the original
approval process does not apply if (1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the
TIF District and (2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the
net tax capacity of those parcels in the TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the City agrees
that the TIF District's original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net
tax capacity of the parcels eliminated.
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the
geographic area of the TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but
not enlarged after five years following the date of certification.
SECTION 4.03 4-YEAR KNOCKDOWN RULE
The 4-Year Knockdown Rule requires that if after four years from certification of the TIF
District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation or site improvement, including a qualified
improvement of an adjacent street, has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District,
then that parcel shall be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be
adjusted accordingly. Qualified improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening
of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing
DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARING DATED 4/20/15
Agenda Page 88
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 16
street. The City must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of the fifth year, evidence
that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the City or owner of the parcel subsequently
commences any of the above activities, the City shall certify to the County Auditor that such
activity has commenced and the parcel shall once again be included in the TIF District. The
County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as most recently certified by the
Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District.
SECTION 4.04 POOLING/5-YEAR RULE
At least 80% of the tax increments (net of administrative expenses) from this TIF District (the
"In -District Percentage") must be expended on activities within the TIF District, including
payment on any bonds for which the proceeds were used to finance activities within the TIF
District. Up to 20% of the tax increments from this TIF District may be used to finance activities
outside the TIF District but within the Development District. All administrative expenses are
for activities outside of the TIF District, except that if the only expenses for activities outside
of the TIF District are for the purposes described in Minnesota Statute, 469.1763, Subd. 2(d),
administrative expenses will be considered as expenditures for activities in the TIF District.
Tax increments are considered to have been "spent" within the TIF District if such amounts are:
• actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five
years after certification of the district;
• used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party, the proceeds of which are
reasonably expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five-year
period or a reasonable temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve
or replacement fund.
• used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding contracts for
activities performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years after
certification of the district; or
• used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs (including interest) incurred within
five years from certification of the district; or
• in the case of a housing district, used for a housing project, as defined in section 469.174,
subdivision 11.
Beginning with the sixth year after certification of the TIF District, if the tax increments actually
received by the City representing the In -District Percentage exceed the amounts considered
"spent" within the TIF District, the excess must be used or set aside to pay or defease bonds (as
described above) or to make payments under contracts (as described above). The TIF District
must be decertified when the City has received tax increments representing the In -District
Percentage in an amount sufficient to fully pay its in -district obligations (i.e., defease any bonds
and/or fulfill all contractual obligations).
It is anticipated that all tax increments collected in the TIF District will spent or obligated
within this time period. Unless the TIF Plan is modified within this five-year period and
additional expenditures are authorized, tax increments will only be used to pay for authorized
redevelopment costs and administrative expenses.
SECTION 4.05 FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
The City will comply with the annual reporting requirements of State law pursuant to the
guidelines of the Office of the State Auditor. Under current law, the City must prepare and
DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARING DATED 4/20/15 10
Agenda Page 89
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 16
submit a report on the TIF District on or before August 1 of each year. The City must also
annually publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the City an annual statement for each
tax increment financing district in its jurisdiction.
The reporting and disclosure requirements outlined in this section begin with the year the
TIF District was certified, and shall end in the year in which both the TIF District has been
decertified and all tax increments have been spent or returned to the county for redistribution.
Failure to meet these requirements, as determined by the State Auditors Office, may result in
suspension of distribution of tax increment.
SECTION 4.06 BUSINESS SUBSIDY COMPLIANCE
The City will comply with the business subsidies requirements specified in Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995, as amended.

��ftmuft. Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 16, 2015
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS - UPDATE NIEMEYER LIFT STATION FOR MONITORING
CAPABILITY TO THE SCADA SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Authorize ICS Healy -Ruff to install a radio, power supply, and mounting
hardware, and to update the City's SCADA computer applications to monitor the Niemeyer lift
station at cost of $9,403.00.
BACKGROUND: The City of Albertville currently has nine lift stations. With the exception of
the Niemeyer lift station, all pumping stations are connected to the SCADA system at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The SCADA system is used to remotely monitor the lift station.
Monitoring includes: alerts/alarms for high water levels, power failure, or pump failure; and the
collection of run times and pumping rates.
The Niemeyer lift station was installed in 2009 as part of the City's CSAH 37 Utility Extension
Project; however, development in the area was delayed until recently and the lift station has not
been in use. With the construction of Niemeyer Trailer Sales it is necessary to put the lift station
in service and connect it to the City's SCADA system.
KEY ISSUES:
• The cost of the SCADA equipment, installation and reprograming of software is $9,403.
• ICS (Instrument Control Systems) is the system integrator who's controls Albertville has
historically used.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and Council's policy to review
and approve the purchase of services and equipment for the Utilities Department.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The funds for this upgrade will come from Sewer Access
Funds (SAC). Purchasing of Capital Assets is an allowable expense for the restricted use of
Sewer Access Funds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve the
purchase of services and equipment for the Utilities Department.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 15, 2015
SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT- PURCHASE OF NEW COMMAND/CHIEF VEHICLE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO: Authorize the purchase of a new red Chevrolet Tahoe vehicle under State
Contract; and authorize the purchase and equipping of emergency equipment and graphic
lettering, based on low quotes, for a total purchase amount not -to -exceed $47,000.
BACKGROUND: This vehicle will be used as a command vehicle for the Chief or ranking
officer when the Chief is out of town. The vehicle will be used for all work related travel
including emergency response, meetings, training, inspections, and firefighter transport. The
vehicle will go home with the Chief or ranking officer each evening and weekend for after -hour
response.
The Fire Committee discussed vehicle type and favored a 4WD command vehicle with towing
and firefighter transport capabilities. After discussing with other fire departments, staff
recommends a Chevy Tahoe — Unmarked emergency vehicle.
Staff is recommending approval of a vehicle budget not -to -exceed $47,000. Based on the State
contract, the vehicle will be approximately $33,000, and we believe the cost of outfitting and
equipping to be between $8,000 to $12,000, and lettering to be approximately $1,500.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Fire Committee has reviewed the purchase and is recommending Council action.
• The vehicle order will take approximately 90 to 120 days.
• The vehicle will be the Department's Incident Command (IC) vehicle.
• The vehicle purchase was planned as part of new full-time Chief position.
• The funding for the vehicle will be with Fire Department capital equipment funds.
• The vehicle will be a take-home response vehicle and used for all Fire Chief related work.
• The purchase of emergency equipment, installation, and lettering will be based on low
quotes, and the purchase of the vehicle will be off the State bid.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy for the Council to review and approve all
capital purchases and investments.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The cost associated with the vehicle will be funded
through fire department capital reserves and the 2015 capital budget. Approximately 38% of the
purchase will be funded as part of the service agreement with Otsego.

��ftmuft. Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 16, 2015
SUBJECT: LEGAL — TAX FORFEITED COMMERCIAL LOT IN PRAIRIE RUN
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Re -impose the full special assessments to the property 101-111-001020 if the
property is returned to private ownership.
BACKGROUND: In 2004, the City of Albertville approved the plat of Prairie Run, which
contained 28 "detached townhome" lots abutting CSAH 18, 25 regular single-family lots, and
one commercial lot. The City agreed to install utilities and roads in the Prairie Run subdivision
and special assess the costs of the improvements to the properties in the plat. The City obtained
a Letter of Credit in the amount of 50% of the cost of the improvements, but the Letter of Credit
was from Alpine Capital, a private financing company (not a bank). The plat immediately
experienced drainage problems arising from engineering/design errors, which held up
construction on a number of the lots while litigation ensued. About the time the litigation ended,
the housing bust arrived, which essentially halted all lot sales. After the dust settled, there were
2 cul-de-sac lots remaining unbuilt upon that had special assessments outstanding and 15
detached townhome lots in the same position, as well as one commercial lot upon which no
special assessment payments had been made.
Because the special assessments were not paid on the one commercial lot, the City made the
payments on the bond that financed the project using money from other City funds. The
commercial lot (immediately south of the T-Square building) went tax forfeit.
Under the tax forfeiture process, the City has the right to purchase any or all of the tax forfeited
properties at fair market value before they are offered to the public for sale. If the City does not
acquire them, the City could re -impose the special assessments on the lots once they are
purchased by a private party and returned to the tax rolls.
City staff is recommending that the City not acquire the commercial lot south of the T-Square
building. While the City has special assessments on the commercial lot, the specials far exceed
the value of this lot. Given the amount of vacant building space in Albertville, City staff does
not believe that market for vacant commercial land in this area will turn around anytime soon.
Because the City can only hold the commercial property tax free for 8 years, staff recommends
that the City inform the County that it does not want to purchase the commercial lot and plans on
re -imposing special assessments on the lot after it is sold to a private party.
The County has requested again that the City of Albertville consider cancelling or reducing the
special assessments or purchase the parcel at a reduced price from the County in the effort of
working together on getting this parcel back on the tax rolls stating that it would give the City
more control in the ultimate development of the property. Given the relatively poor market for

Tax Forfeited Commercial Lot Page 2 of 2
commercial property at the present time, staff believes that a major reduction in the special
assessments would be necessary at this time to make this lot marketable. Because such a major
reduction would have to be ultimately absorbed by the City's general fund, and because staff
believes this property will recover in value over time, staff recommends that we inform the
County that the City is not willing to reduce the amount of special assessments it will re -impose
on the lot.
KEY ISSUES:
• The original assessment on this property was $175,167.
• City staff believes that the special assessments on the commercial lot will remain
outstanding for many years in the future.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: In normal circumstances, the County would
sell this property to private parties. However, this parcel has not sold and will go up for auction
in the spring of 2015.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Acquiring this parcel will require the City to pay some
nominal consideration to the County. In addition, it will leave the $175,167 to be collected upon
sale of the parcel or require the general levy to increase and have the entire tax base pay for the
improvements (assessment).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: State law allows the City to acquire this property and sell it to
any party it desires.

Memo
To: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council
From: Mike Couri
Date: April 15, 2015
Re: Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
I-94 Ramp Easement. The State is asking the City to obtain I-94 ramp easement
from Albertville Marketplace using a revised legal description as the State wants
clearer language in the deed from the City to the State for the ramp easement. The
easement area remains unchanged —the State simply wants its specific language
used in the easement document. Adam and I will be working with Albertville
Marketplace to obtain the proper language.
• Prairie Run. Fieldstone will be closing on one lot in the next week or so and two
more within the next month, for a total of four lots. The purchase agreement for
the two cul-de-sac lots has been signed with Christian Builders and we will likely
close on those two lots in late April or early May. Tina and I met with the
Homeowners' Association last week. The Declarations were amended as set out
in our purchase agreement with Fieldstone and the Association pared back the
services it will provide to just the maintenance of the street, which should make
the Association dues more affordable. It appears that the Association will be self-
sustaining from this point forward.
• Charter Cable. I have still not heard back from Charter Cable regarding
proposed changes to their service to City buildings that runs counter to our
franchise agreement. Charter has provided the City with cable boxes, but we will
Page 1 of 2
Agenda Page 101
likely have a problem with these next fall unless we get this issue straightened out
in the meantime. I will continue to periodically call Charter until I reach someone
or get a return call.
• Joint Fire Department Issues. I have forwarded the memo on the pros and cons
of the Joint Fire Department to Adam and the Fire Chief. I would be glad to
present these issues to the Council at a workshop meeting if the Council so
desires.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Joint Workshop: The Planning Commission and City Council held a Joint Workshop on April 14
and as a result, staff plans on bringing an additional goal and policy statement forward to the
Planning Commission meeting in May for inclusion in the Vision Study.

approved a $5 per hour ice rental rate increase, approved the 2015 Arena Budget, and
authorized the renewal of the maintenance contract with SCR.
Law Enforcement Update: Sheriff Hagerty will be present to update the City Council on April
20 at 6:30 p.m.
Senior Community Services: The 10 year agreement with SCS for management of our Crow
River Senior Center is up for renewal. To my knowledge SCS and Vonnie, our director, are doing
a terrific job. Deb Taylor, the CEO for SCS, and Vonnie will be providing an update and
requesting to renew the agreement at the June 9, St. Michael Council meeting. Please let me
know if you would like Deb or Vonnie to present to the Albertville Council or if you have any
information or concerns you would like me to pass along.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
57t" Street NE/Church of St. Albert Improvement Project: Private utility relocated as
scheduled to begin the week of April 20. Contracts are being circulated for execution.
Construction will not commence until after Friendly City Days.
54Street NE and Barthel Industrial Drive NE: We plan to have the project complete in its
entirety by May 31.
Street and Parks Position: The maintenance worker position is out for advertisement and
applications are due by May 18. Our goal is to have the position filled on or around July 1.
Annual Crack Sealing: Public Works crews will begin crack sealing the week of April 20,
weather permitting.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4): Albertville is now subject to regulation as
required by the MPCA's MS4 General Stormwater Permit. As such, we are required to
complete the permit application prior to April 25, and pay the $400 application fee. Staff will
complete.
Old Castle Building Envelope: We are working with Old Castle to locate a second driveway on
Barthel Industrial Dr. The 2nd access is permitted by code and can be approved
administratively.
Agenda Page 103
Bucket Truck: At the Council meeting, staff would like to discuss advanced authorization for
staff to bid on a used bucket truck. Our current 1987 bucket truck has become very unsafe and
the costs to repair (approximately $2,500) exceed the value of the vehicle. The City's safety
advisor (MMUA) has recommended the vehicle be taken out of service. We believe a used
model is sufficient for the City's needs. Public Works uses the bucket truck for tree trimming,
decorations, street light repair, etc. New bucket trucks are very expensive.

Center in St. Michael. Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 22.
