Small Town Wag.ffig ON Lft. Mayor and Council Request for Action
March 21, 2022
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT NO. 20,THE TIF
FINANCING PLAN AND INTERFUND LOAN
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following after holding a public hearing on the establishment of TIF District No. 20:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-07 titled"Resolution Approving the Establishment
of Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 within Municipal Development District No. 1;
Approving the Tax Increment Financing Plan Therefor; And Authorizing an Interfund Loan."
BACKGROUND: Scherer Bros Lumber Company has entered into an agreement to sell its
current truss manufacturing facility located in the Barthel Industrial Park to a neighboring
business. As a result, Scherer Bros intends on building a new manufacturing facility on Outlot C,
Northwest Industrial Park ("Property"), which is owned by the City and is located immediately
north of the Outlet Mall provided it is able to receive significant tax increment financing
assistance from the City.
Scherer Bros is seeking TIF assistance in the amount of$400,000 in addition to the waiver of a
number of development related fees applicable to the Property.
Based on the information provided by Scherer Bros regarding the proposed building, it is
estimated that the TIF will generate approximately $1,137,305 in tax increment revenue,
$400,000 of which can be returned to the Developer to help defray development costs, including
site preparation, parking lot construction, utility work, and other qualifying development costs
incurred by Scherer Bros. All TIF monies will come from the property taxes paid by Scherer on
the Property after the new facility is constructed. Construction is expected to occur this year with
substantial completion of the building late this fall.
Northland Securities has prepared a TIF Plan for TIF No. 20. The TIF Plan calls for the City to
receive the first$700,000 of tax increment to reimburse the City for the cost of the Property
($602,000) and development fees that will be waived($98,000). Once the City has received
$700,000, the remaining $400,000 that the TIF will generate will be paid to Scherer Bros for its
qualifying costs of development. The City will retain 3% of the tax increment each year to pay
for administrative expenses of establishing and managing the TIF.
The TIF is proposed as a 9-year Economic Development Tax Increment Financing District that
will collect tax increment beginning in 2024 through 2032. Upon decertification of the TIF
District all property taxes thereafter will be split among the County, City and School district in
the same manner as other properties in the City.
The attached resolution finds that the development of the Property would not occur without the
assistance of TIF and will result in an increased market value for the property than would be the
case if TIF was not used. Approval of the attached resolution will establish TIF District No. 20
and will approve the TIF plan prepared by Northland Securities.
Agenda Page 12
Mayor and Council Request for Action—March 21, 2022
Tax Increment District No. 20,TIF Financing Plan & Interfund Loan Page 2 of 2
In early April,the City will be selling the Property to Scherer Bros for $1 and will waive a
number of the development fees. The Property and the waived fees together have a total value of
$700,000, which will be reimbursed from the TIF proceeds. In order to be reimbursed for these
costs over the life of the TIF, the City must make an interfund"loan"to itself in the amount of
$700,000. Approval of the attached resolution will establish the interfund loan and will allow the
City to pay itself back from the proceeds of the TIF.
KEY ISSUES:
• This economic development TIF will is generate an estimated $1,137,305 over the life of
the TIF.
• $700,000 of the TIF proceeds will reimburse the City for land and development fees.
$400,000 will be paid to Scherer Bros to reimburse it for development costs and the
remainder will be retained by the City to pay the costs of establishing the TIF District
and complying with reporting requirements.
• The TIF will terminate in 2032, after which the property taxes will be split between the
County, City and School District like all other non-TIF property taxes.
• The City will establish an interfund loan in the amount of$700,000 that will be paid
back over the first six years of the TIF.
• Construction is expected to occur in 2022 with completion of the building late this fall.
• The estimated value of the building and land upon completion is $5.1 million.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Nearly all of the City's industrial buildings
have been financed with some sort of TIF assistance similar to what is being proposed for this
TIF.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City is slated to recover the entire value of the
property($602,000) and a majority of the development fees it will be waiving ($98,000) from
the TIF. When the TIF expires the City will continue to receive real estate taxes from the
improved Property,but the Property is expected to be valued at$5.1 million rather than its
$602,000 current valuation, which will generate significant tax revenue for the City in the future.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City is authorized to establish this TIF under Minnesota
statute.

ARTICLE II - TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
SECTION 2.01 STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The TIF District and the TIF Plan are established under the authority of the TIF Act.
SECTION 2.02 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
2.02.7 Description of Development
The Developer proposes to build an approximately 60,000 square feet truss manufacturing
plant.
2.02.2 City Plans and Development Program
In addition to achieving the objectives of the Development Program, the 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 or redevelopment of the City as a
whole.
The City has adopted land use controls to guide the use of property. The Development plans for
the Development in the TIF District have been reviewed by the Planning Commission and the
City Council, and conforms to current land use controls.
2.02.3 Land Acquisition
The City plans to convey the property within the TIF District to the Developer. There is no other
planned land acquisition. The City will use tax increments to reimburse itself for the conveyance
of the land to the Developer.
2.02.4 Development Activities
The City anticipates that the development activities proposed in the TIF Plan will be subject
to contracts. The City anticipates entering into a contract with the Developer to construct the
Development and provide tax increment financing assistance to pay for Public Development
Costs.
2.02.5 Need for Tax Increment Financing
In the opinion of the City, the 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 Development requires public financial assistance to offset land acquisition,utilities, site
improvements, and other qualifying improvements to allow for the Developer to proceed
with construction of the Development.
• 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 I. 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.

SECTION 2.03 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
2.03.1 Designation
This TIF District is designated as Tax Increment Financing (Economic Development)District No.
20(Sherer Brothers).
2.03.2 Boundaries of TIF District
The boundaries of the TIF District are depicted in Exhibit V. The TIF District includes parcel
number 101-091-000020 and the immediate adjacent roads and right-of-way. The property
within the TIF District is described as follows:
• Sect-35 Twp-121 Range-024 NORTHWEST COMMERCIAL PARK OUTLOT B
2.03.3 Type of District
The TIF District is established as an"economic development" district pursuant to Sections
469.174 subdivision 12, and 469.176, subdivision 4c, of the TIF Act.
Section 469.174, subdivision 12 of the TIF Act to find that the Development is in the public
interest because:
(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;or
(4) it satisfies the requirements of a workforce housing project under section 469.176,
subdivision 4c, paragraph(d).
The Development will meet these conditions.
Pursuant to Section 469.176, subdivision 4c of the TIF Act, 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) space necessary for and related to the activities listed in clauses(1)to (5);or
(7) a workforce housing project that satisfies the requirements of paragraph(d).
The Development is for manufacturing, and 100%of the planned building(on a square footage
basis)will be used for this purpose, and thus meets the requirements of the TIF Act.
SECTION 2.04 PLAN FOR USE OF TAX INCREMENT
2.04.1 Estimated Tax Increment
The original net tax capacity of value of the TIF District will be set by the County upon request
for certification. For the purposes of this Plan, the estimated original net tax capacity is$11,290.
This amount is estimated based on information provided by the county assessor to the City for
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC HEARING 3/21/2022 3
Agenda Page 18
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 20
preliminary(2022 assessment/payable year 2023) estimated taxable market value of$602,000 for
Parcel 101-091-000020;with tax capacity value calculated for commercial property.
The total tax capacity value of the property after development completion is estimated to be
$101,250. This amount is based on a total estimated taxable market value of$5,100,000 with
property classified as commercial. The estimated difference between the total tax capacity
value after development completion and the original net tax capacity value is the captured tax
capacity value in the amount of$89,960 for the creation of tax increment.
The total local tax rate is estimated at 134.723%based on the preliminary tax rates for taxes
payable in 2021. The TIF Plan assumes this rate for estimating tax increment revenue.At the
time of the certification of the original net tax capacity for the TIF District, the county auditor
shall certify the original local tax rate that will apply for the duration of the TIF District. The
original local tax rate is the sum of all the local tax rates,excluding that portion of the school
rate attributable to the general education levy under Minnesota Statutes section 126C.13, that
apply to a property in the TIF District. The local tax rate to be certified is the rate in effect for
the same taxes payable year applicable to the tax capacity values certified as the TIF District's
original tax capacity. The resulting tax capacity rate is the original local tax rate for the duration
of the TIF District.
Under these assumptions, the estimated annual tax increment is$120,761 after completion of the
project and after deducting for the State Auditor's fee (0.36%of the captured tax increments).
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.
It is the intent of the City to retain 100%of the captured tax capacity value for the duration of
the TIF district. Exhibit I1 contains the projected tax increment over the life of the District.
2.04.2 Public Development Costs
The City will use tax increment to pay Public Development Costs.A contract between the City
and the Developer will define the means for verifying Public Development Costs that will be
eligible for reimbursement and the means of disbursing tax increments collected by the City.
The City will use tax increments to pay financing costs. The interest rate payable on bonds
issued,will be set pursuant to approving resolutions. The definition of"bonds" includes
interfund loans and tax increment financing revenue notes.
2.04.3 Estimated Sources and Uses of Funds
The estimated sources of revenue, along with the estimated Public Development Costs of the
TIF District, are itemized in Figure 2-1 that follows. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement
from tax increments, and other listed sources of revenue from the TIF District.
The City reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the Public
Development Cost items listed in Figure 2-1, so long as the total estimated tax increment project
costs amount,not including financing costs, is not increased.

2.04.4 Administrative Expense
The City plans to use tax increment revenues to pay for administrative expenses for the TIF
District. The use of tax increment revenues to pay administrative expenses will not exceed
the maximum amount of ten percent of tax increment revenues pursuant to the TIF Act.The
City will use these monies to pay for and reimburse the City for costs of administering the TIF
district as allowed by the TIF Act.
The estimated amount of tax increment revenue planned to pay administrative expense is
shown in Figure 2-1.Anticipated administrative expenses of the TIF District include annual
audit of the fund for TIF District, preparation of annual reporting,legal publication of annual
report, and administration of the development agreement.
2.04.5 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.
2.04.6 Bonded Indebtedness
The total amount of bonds estimated to be issued is shown in Figure 2-1. The City will not issue
general obligation bonded indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan.
Pursuant to Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, the City may advance or loan money
to finance expenditures under Section 469.176, subdivision 4, from the general fund of the City
or any other legally authorized fund under which it has legal authority to do so, subject to the
following provisions:
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC HEARING 3/21/2022 5
Agenda Page 20
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 20
(a) Not later than 60 days after money is transferred, advanced, or spent, whichever is
earliest, the loan or advance must be authorized by resolution of the City.
(b) The resolution may generally grant to the City the power to make interfund loans
under one or more tax increment financing plans or for one or more districts. The
resolution may be adopted before or after the adoption of the tax increment financing
plan or the creation of the tax increment financing district from which the advance or
loan is to be repaid.
(c) The terms and conditions for repayment of the loan must be provided in writing.
The written terms and conditions may be in any form,but must include, at a minimum,
the principal amount,the interest rate, and maximum term. Written terms may be
modified or amended in writing by the City before the latest decertification of any tax
increment financing district from which the interfund loan is to be repaid. The maximum
rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the rates specified
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or 549.09 as of the date the loan or advance
is authorized,unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest rate will
fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or
549.09 are from time to time adjusted. Loans or advances may be structured as draw-
down or line-of-credit obligations of the lending fund.
(d)The City shall report in the annual report submitted under Section 469.175,
subdivision 6 of the TIF Act:
(1) the amount of any interfund loan or advance made in a calendar year; and
(2) any amendment of an interfund loan or advance made in a calendar year.
2.04.7 Duration of TIF District
The duration to collect and spend tax increments on eligible purposes is set at the maximum
duration of eight (8)years after the date of receipt of the first tax increment or nine (9) years of
tax increment collection. The estimated date for receipt of the first tax increment is July 1, 2024,
and the decertification date is December 31, 2032.
2.04.8 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 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 Development on city-provided services. There
may be minimal borrowing costs to the City for the Development. A manageable 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.
2.04.9 Prior Planned Improvements
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of
the properties within the TIF District. The City will include this statement with the request for
certification to the county auditor.

ARTICLE III — ADMINISTERING THE TIF DISTRICT
SECTION 3.01 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 within the TIF District and shall request
that the county assessor review and certify the assessment agreement as reasonable.
The City does not expect to enter into an assessment agreement in connection with the
Development.
SECTION 3.02 MODIFICATIONS OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
The City reserves the right to modify the TIF District and the TIF Plan. Pursuant to the TIF Act,
the following actions can only be approved 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 total estimated Public Development Costs, including administrative costs of
the City.
■ Designation of additional property to be acquired by the City.
Other modifications can be made by resolution of the City. In addition,the original approval
process does not apply if(A) (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 (B) 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 3.03 FOUR-YEAR KNOCKDOWN RULE
The provision of the TIF Act referred to as the Four-Year Knockdown Rule requires
development activity to take place on each parcel within a tax increment financing(TIF) district
within four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the district. If
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC HEARING 3/21/2022 7
Agenda Page 22
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 20
development activity on a parcel has not begun within the required time frame,no additional
tax increment may be collected from that parcel and its value must be excluded from the
district's original net tax capacity.
Development activity includes demolition,rehabilitation, renovation or site improvement,
including a qualified improvement of an adjacent street,has commenced on a parcel located
within the TIF District. If no development activity has occurred within four years from the
date of certification then that parcel shall be excluded from the TIF District and the original
net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. The City must submit to the county auditor,by
February I 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 recertify 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,Minnesota Department of Revenue, and add such amount to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District.
SECTION 3.04 POOLING AND FIVE-YEAR RULE
At least 80%of the tax increments (not including administrative expenses)from the 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 the TIF District may be used to finance activities
outside the TIF District but within the boundaries of the Development 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.
It is anticipated that all tax increments to be collected from within the TIF District and
distributed by the County will be spent or obligated within five years from the date of
certification of the TIF District.
SECTION 3.05 FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
The City will comply with the annual reporting requirements of the TIF Act pursuant to the
guidelines of the Office of the State Auditor. Under current law, the City must prepare and
submit a report on the TIF District on or before August I of each year. The City must also
annually publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the City an annual statement for the
TIF District, in the format as prescribed by the Office of the State Auditor.
The reporting and disclosure requirements outlined in this section begin with the year a tax
increment financing district is certified, and shall end in the year in which both the district

on March 21, 2022, at 7:00 P.M.
The following members of the Council were present:

Member introduced the following resolution and moved its

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
COUNTY OF WRIGHT
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-07
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 20 WITHIN MUNICIPAL
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1; APPROVING THE TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR; AND AUTHORIZING
AN INTERFUND LOAN
A. WHEREAS, it has been proposed that the City of Albertville, Minnesota (the
"City") (1) establish Tax Increment Financing District No. 20 (the "TIF District") within
Municipal Development District No. 1 (the 'Development District"); (2) approve and adopt the
proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan therefor under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes,

(hereinafter defined); and

prepared a proposed tax increment financing plan for the TIF District therein (the "TIF Plan");
and
C. WHEREAS, the City has performed all actions required by law to be performed
prior to the approval of the modification of the Development District and the establishment of
the TIF District therein, and the adoption of the TIF Plan therefor, including, but not limited to,

Agenda Page 30
City of Albertville,MN
Resolution No.2022-07
Meeting of March 21,2022
Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Albertville follows:
1. Development District. The City is not modifying the boundaries of the
Development District.
2. Tax Increment Financing District No. 20. There is hereby established in the City
within the Development District, Tax Increment Financing District No. 20, an economic
development tax increment financing district, the initial boundaries of which are determined as
described in the TIF Plan.
3. Tax Increment Financing Plan. The TIF Plan is adopted as the tax 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 specific basis for such determination
is set forth in Section 2.03.3 of the TIF Plan.
(b) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future. The reasons for such determination are set forth in Section 2.02.5 of
the TIF Plan.
(c) 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 are set forth in Section 2.0.5 and Exhibit I of TIF Plan.
(d) The TIF Plan for the TIF District conforms to the general plan for
development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. The reasons for supporting this
finding are set forth in Section 2.02.2 of the TIF 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 set forth in Section
2.02.5 of the TIF Plan.
4. Public Purpose. The adoption of the TIF Plan for the TIF District within the
Development District conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill
a need to develop an area of the State which is already built up 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. The Auditor of Wright County is requested to certify the original
net tax capacity of the TIF District as described in TIF Plan, and to certify in each year thereafter
the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased in accordance with
the Act; and the City Administrator is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit this request
to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may specify, together with a list
of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the
18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this Resolution.
6. Filing. The City Administrator is further authorized and directed to file a copy of
the Modification and TIF Plan for the TIF District with the Commissioner of Revenue and the
Office of the State Auditor.
7. Interfund Loan. The City has determined that it may pay for certain costs (the
"Qualified Costs") identified in the TIF Plan which costs may be financed on a temporary basis
from the City's general fund or any other fund from which such advances may be legally made
(the "Fund"). Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, the City is authorized to
advance or loan money from the Fund in order to finance the Qualified Costs. The City intends
to reimburse itself for the payment of the Qualified Costs, plus interest thereon, from tax
increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the following terms (which terms
are referred to collectively as the "Interfund Loan"):
(a) The City shall repay to the Fund from which the Qualified Costs are
initially paid, the principal amount of$907,000 (or, if less, the amount actually paid from
such fund) together with interest at 4.00% per annum (which is not more than the greater
of (i) the rate specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40, or (ii) the rate
specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 549.09) from the date of the payment.
(b) Principal and interest on the Interfund Loan ("Payments") shall be paid
annually on each December 31 commencing with the date the tax increments from the
TIF District are available and not otherwise pledged to and including the earlier of(a) the
date the principal and accrued interest of the Interfund Loan is paid in full, or (b) the date
of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District ("Payment Dates") which Payments
will be made in the amount and only to the extent of available tax increments. Payments
shall be applied first to accrued interest, and then to unpaid principal.
(c) Payments on the Interfund Loan are payable solely from the tax increment
generated in the preceding twelve (12) months with respect to the TIF District and
remitted to the City by Wright County, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended. Payments on this Interfund Loan are
subordinate to any outstanding or future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in
part with tax increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund
loans secured in whole or in part with tax increments.

accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, and is a limited obligation

thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other
costs incident hereto except out of tax increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor
the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged
to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident
hereto. 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 termination of the

Mayor and Council Request for Action
March 21, 2022
SUBJECT: LEGAL - SALE OF PROPERTY TO SCHERER BROS LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO:
1. Approve the Purchase Agreement between the City and Scherer Limited Partnership and
authorize its execution by the Mayor and City Clerk;
And
2. Authorize the release of Outlot B,Northwest Commercial Park from the following
documents:
A. Terms and conditions of Developer's\Planned Unit Development Agreement, filed
May 1, 1999, as Document No. 677246 (First Outlet Mall Developer's Agreement)
Amended by First Amendment to Developer's\Planned Unit Development
Agreement, filed February 29, 2000, as Document No. 703145 (amendment to First
Outlet Mall Developer's Agreement.
B. Resolution No. 2003-31, Resolution Eliminating Land from Consideration for
Wetland Mitigation, filed December 3, 2002, as Document No. 819518.
BACKGROUND: Scherer Bros Lumber Company has entered into an agreement to sell its
current truss manufacturing facility located in the Barthel Industrial Park to a neighboring
business. As a result, Scherer Bros intends on building a new manufacturing facility on Outlot C,
Northwest Industrial Park ("Property"), which is owned by the City and is located immediately
north of the Outlet Mall. City staff has negotiated the attached Vacant Land Purchase Agreement
with Scherer Bros for the sale of the Property.
The purchase price for the land is $1. The purchase agreement is contingent upon the
establishment of the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District(also on the March 21st agenda) and
Scherer Bros and the City entering into a TIF Agreement, which will be on the April 4th agenda.
The purchase agreement calls for the City to waive most development fees and $25,000 of the
building permit fees (but not park dedication fees), but the City will recover the first $700,000 in
TIF funds from the TIF District. The remaining $400,000 will go to Scherer Bros to help defray
its development costs.
The purchase agreement requires Scherer Bros to build a building on the property and maintain
the value of the property in an amount at least $5.1 million during the TIF. If Scherer Bros fails
to build the building, it must convey the property back to the City or pay the City$700,000.
Agenda Page 35
Mayor and Council Request for Action—March 21,2022
Legal- Sale of Property to Scherer Bros Partnership Page 2 of 2
The purchase agreement obligates the City to remove the Outlet Mall Development Agreement
from the property title and a resolution relating the possibility that additional wetlands might
have been created on this property related to the outlet mall. All of these agreements/resolution
as they relate to the Property have expired or are no longer applicable to the Property.
The Property has been owned by the City since 1999 and will now go back on the tax rolls with
an industrial building built on the Property.
KEY ISSUES:
• The City will sell the Property to Scherer Bros for$1.
• The Assessor's valuation on the land is $602,000 as of January 1, 2022.
• Scherer Bros will relocate their truss manufacturing facility to the Property.
• The City will establish a TIF on the Property from which the City will be paid
approximately $600,000 for the land and$100,000 for development fees that are being
waived.
• Scherer Bros will construct a truss manufacturing facility on the site and will maintain a
valuation of$5.1 million on the site during the life of the TIF.
• Closing is expected to occur on April 6, 2022.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The City has sold one other industrial property
in the recent past under a similar arrangement where the City established a TIF on the property
and received payment for the land from the proceeds of the TIF or reimbursed the developer for
the purchase price of the land from the proceeds of the TIF.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has paid taxes on this Property for
approximately the past 5 years (taxes were $34,000 in 2021). Returning the Property to the tax
rolls will save the City from paying taxes on the Property in the future and result in tax revenue
to the City. The City is slated to recover the entire value of the property ($602,000) and a
majority of the development fees it will be waiving from the TIF. When the TIF expires, the City
will continue to receive real estate taxes from the improved Property.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the authority under state law to enter into a
purchase agreement for the sale of the Property to any party that the City deems to be in the best
interest of the public.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
March 21, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING- CROSSING CHURCH—EXTEND TERM OF INTERIM USE
PERMIT WITHIN THE ALBERTVILLE OUTLET MALL SECOND
ADDITION
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motions:
MOTION TO adopt Resolution No. 2022-08 approving an extension of the term of the interim
use permit for Crossing Church located in the Albertville Promenade Outlet Mall on Lot 1, Block
1, Outlets at Albertville Second Addition.
BACKGROUND: In February of 2019, the City of Albertville approved an amendment to the
Outlets at Albertville Planned Unit Development District to allow Hospitality Businesses by
interim use permits (IUP)within the Outlets of Albertville Second Addition to expand the range
of use allowed within this portion of the Outlet Mall. The PUD district amendment included the
following language.
33. Hospitality Businesses are permitted as an Interim Use within the Lot 1, Block 1, and
Outlets of Albertville Second Addition Planned Unit Development with the following
conditions:
1. Number: No more than two (2) Hospitality Businesses shall be located within Lot 1,
Block 1 Outlets of Albertville Second Addition.
2. Size: Individual Hospitality Businesses shall be limited to a maximum occupancy of
two hundred (200) people at a single event.
3. Hospitality Businesses shall obtain building permits and certificate of occupancy for
building modifications needed to change the building occupancy from retail to
assembly.
4. The siting of the Hospitality Business within the Outlets Promenade shall
demonstrate appropriate required parking and traffic patterns that do not interfere
with Outlet Mall operations or negatively impact surrounding land uses.
5. The term of the Hospitality Businesses interim use shall be limited to three (3) years
from the date of Certificate of Occupancy. Said use may be renewed upon request of
the applicant and approval of the City Council.
Subsequent to the approval of the Outlet Mall PUD District amendment, the City approved an
interim use permit for Crossing Church to occupy a portion of the Outlet Mall Promenade in the
Outlets of Albertville Second Addition. The following conditions were attached to the interim
use permit approval.
Agenda Page 46
Mayor and Council Request for Action—March 21,2022
Planning- Crossing Church Interim Use Permit Page 2 of 2
1. Number: No more than two (2) Hospitality Businesses shall be located within Lot 1,
Block 1 Outlets of Albertville Second Addition.
2. Size: Individual Hospitality Businesses shall be limited to a maximum occupancy of two
hundred (200)people at a single event.
3. Hospitality Businesses shall obtain building permits and Certificate of Occupancy for
building modifications needed to change the building occupancy from retail to assembly.
4. The siting of the Hospitality Business within the Outlets Promenade shall demonstrate
appropriate required parking and traffic patterns that do not interfere with Outlet Mall
operations or negatively impact surrounding land uses.
5. The term of the Hospitality Businesses interim use shall be limited to three (3) years from
the date of Certificate of Occupancy. Said use may be renewed upon request of the
applicant and approval of the City Council.
The Crossing Church has met their conditions of approval and have occupied their location in the
Outlet Mall Promenade for the past 3 years without complaint or issue. The term of their interim
use permit is expiring. They have formally requested an extension of the interim use permit to
allow for them to continue their occupancy in the Outlet Mall.
Key Issues:
• The Hospitality Businesses allow for commercial assembly land uses (i.e., conference
centers, banquet halls)under RLUAIPA, these assembly uses also permit a church.
• The City approved the IUP for Crossing Church in the Outlet Mall in 2019.
• The Church has fulfilled their conditions of approval for the IUP and have received an
occupancy permit for their location.
• The IUP has a 3-year termination date unless extended through City Council approval.
• The Church at its current location,has not resulted in nuisance or land use compatibility
issues.
• Staff recommends an extension of the IUP for Crossing Church until July 31, 2028, to
correspond to their current lease expiration.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, City Council can establish a
termination date for an IUP and may extend the date through Council action.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to the IUP
extension.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures,the Mayor and Council
have the authority to approve or deny the extension of an IUP termination date, which requires a
majority vote of the City Council and becomes effective upon publication.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
March 21, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING—AMENDMENT TO THE ALBERTVILLE PREMIUM
OUTLET MALL COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motions:
MOTION TO: adopt Resolution No. 2022-09 approving an amendment to the Albertville
Premium Outlet Mall Comprehensive Sign Plan for Tenant Wall Signs and Tenant Temporary
Signs on Lot 1, Block 1 Outlets of Albertville Addition and Lot 1 Block I Outlets of Albertville
Second Addition located within the City of Albertville.
BACKGROUND: In 1999, the City of Albertville approved a comprehensive sign plan as part
of the overall planned unit development. This sign plan includes the design standards for all
tenant signs. Recent tenant sign requests have not met the Outlet Malls standards requiring
channel letters for permanent signs. The plan does not have any flexibility in standards for short-
term leases.
While City staff has made some accommodation for cabinet signs for tenants in the past; this
accommodation was given with the requirement the Outlet Mall amend their sign standards to
address current needs and sign designs to prevent conflict in the processing the tenant sign
permits in the future.
The Outlet Mall has submitted new sign plan language for consideration by the City Council.
These changes provide individual tenant greater flexibility in the type and design of their wall
signs.
Key Issues:
• The 1999,Albertville Outlet Mall PUD approval included a comprehensive sign plan for
the entire Mall addressing the size, location and design of allowed tenant signs.
• The Outlet Mall sign plan is only applicable to the Mall tenants and has no impact
beyond the Mall.
• The current Outlet Mall standards are more restrictive than City wide standards regarding
the sign design. The Outlet Mall requires illuminated channel letters.
• Recent tenants have requested cabinet signs, which fail to meet the Outlet Mall standards.
• The proposed sign plan changes provide the opportunity for cabinets signs as an
alternative to channel letters. The sign location and sizes remain unchanged from the
original approved sign plan.
• The Outlet Mall is also requesting alternative sign standards for short-term leases (35
months or less). These signs may be of a different material and design from the
permanent signs.
• The proposed changes do not add to the number of signs or expand the sign area. The
changes to allow the cabinet signs will not be detrimental to the mall appearance and
provide tenant options to make their tenant bay storefront distinctive.
Agenda Page 49
Mayor and Council Request for Action—March 21,2022
Planning—Amend Albertville Outlet Mall Sign Plan Page 2 of 2
• The short-term sign standards will allow the Mall great flexibility in addressing more
transient tenants.
• All tenant signs will still require a sign permit and building permit from the city. This
review ensures sign code compliance.
• If approved,the Albertville Outlet Mall Supplemental Sign Permit Form will be revised
to include the new sign plan standards.
• Based on our experience with past tenant sign applications and the review of the
proposed amended Outlet Mall Sign Plan changes, staff recommends approval of the
proposed changes outlined in Resolution No. 2022-09.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed changes to the Outlet Mall Sign Standards
provide Mall tenants with a variety of sign options. The number, location and size of the tenant
signs remains unchanged.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant Financial issues related to the
changes to the Outlet Mall comprehensive sign plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures,the Mayor and Council
have the authority to approve or deny the changes to the Outlet Mall comprehensive sign plan,
which requires a majority vote of the City Council.

location; and
WHEREAS, Simon Properties has requested a PUD amendment to update the
comprehensive sign plan to expand the variety of sign types that may be used by tenants. The
changes in sign design are significant enough to mandate an amendment to the Outlet Mall
comprehensive sign plan; and
WHEREAS, City staff has reviewed the requested PUD Amendment and prepared the
Request for Council Action (RCA) dated March 21, 2022; and
