MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director ~~
DATE: April 26, 1996
SUBJECT: TIF Financial Analysis
The TIF financial analysis for the current year 1996 and a projection for 1997 is enclosed for
your review and comments. It encompasses all the City's debt service and capital project funds
relating to tax increment financing. There are 14 separate funds currently on the City's books,
seven for debt service and seven for capital projects. The City is required to maintain different
funds for different purposes. All of these funds are legally required and must remain separate
from one another.
Further, any financial analysis of City funds would be incomplete without a capital projects
schedule.
A) The attached yellow schedule is a 2-page compilation of projects identified by City Council
and staff as possible projects for the City to undertake in the next 5 years. The grand total of
these projects is slightly over $55,000,000. (That is not a typo).
Two categories of capital projects are shown:
1) Those capital projects that are approved and mayor may not be fully funded. These
projects total over 13 million dollars.
2) Those capital projects that have been identified as possible future projects. They lack
funding and prioritization. These projects total over 41 million dollars.
B) The attached salmon colored sheets are a 4-page columnar worksheet of the TIF debt service
funds. The left-most column is a description of the activity beginning with the "Cash balance
_on March 31, 1996". The columnar headings identify the project name, fund names, fund
number, and type of fund beginning with the "Incstar Taxable TIF Bonds of 1989B".
You need to follow each column through all four pages. For example: On page 1 in the
Incstar column, read down the page to $112,012 and look in the left-most column to identify
that this is a transfer from another fund. Go to page 2, the next entry is for (18,339.00),
.
.
.
which is the August 31, 1996 Bond Payment. Continue down to (500.00), which is a paying
agent fee. Go to page 3, the entry at the top is $133,556.45, which is the projected cash
balance on December 31, 1996. Further down the page is $110,867.00, which is a transfer
from another fund. Continuing down the page are ($88,339.00), ($500.00) and ($15,294.00)
for Bond payments on 2-1-97, paying agent fees, and Bond payments on 8-1-97.
Continuing to page 4, $140,290.45 is shown as the projected cash balance on December 31,
1997. The next entry is $350,000.00 which is the total amount of Bonds outstanding for this
fund on January 1, 1998. Further down, "N/A" is listed as "Not Applicable" for these (debt
service) funds. The last section on page 4 identifies the "funds available' by the legal
restrictions placed on the use of those funds, which there is 0 (zero) available from the Incstar
debt service fund.
Continuing to the next column on page 4, "Downtown R. R. Land TIF Bonds of 1991B", the
projected amount of $75,962.04 is shown as being available on February 2, 1997 for any
public purpose project, including the unfunded balance of the approved capital projects.
(Shown on the yellow schedule in the last column on the right). These funds are not restricted
to tax increment projects.
C) The attached orchid colored 4-page worksheets are set up similar to the salmon worksheets
but have columns that represent each different capital project fund. For example, the first
column is for the project name of "Nelle" and Fund name of"TIF District #2". The first
entry is for $8,828.52, which is the "cash balance on March 31, 1996".
Follow this and each column through all 4 pages for the anticipated activity in each of these
funds during 1996 and 1997.
On page 4, the $379,777.48 of funds available in the Marketplace Construction Fund (last
column on the right) is available now for any public purpose including the unfunded balance
of approved capital projects. (Shown on the yellow schedule in the last column on the right).
Attached is the opinion from City Attorney, Dave Magnuson, regarding the use of these
remaining bond proceeds.
The City is utilizing "pooling" to the maximum allowed by law. After the Payable 1996
property tax collections, there is $36,000 of tax increment available (from the Jr. High
Parking Lot District) for TIF projects in other TIF districts.
The remaining amounts of funds available must be spent on TIF projects within each TIF
district (i.e. - $8,828.52 must be spent in TIF District #2, $329,755.88 must be spent in TIF
District #3, etc.)
Which brings up some other items for discussion. The $135,468.34 of funds in TIF District
#5 may indicate an opportunity to decertify this district earlier than the year established by
2
.
.
.
..
MN Statutes (i.e. - 1999), if there are no more projects within that district.
Also note, TlF District #2 does not generate any tax increment. The combined values of this
district have declined by $6,000 since certification of this district in 1985.
Additional information attached is NEW tax increment calculations and the related
"required" publications for TlF districts that do NOT contribute to the "fiscal disparities"
pool (i.e. - TlF Districts 2 through 6 do NOT contribute to fiscal disparities). In essence, if
the TlF district does not contribute, the remainder of the City still must contribute.
The net effect of this is an increase in property taxes for other properties. The amount of this
increase is calculated by the City and then it must be published by the City. Attached are
copies of the sample publication with a recap of the dollar amounts calculated for each
district.
In summation, the City is projected to have $36,000 of tax increment funds available at the
end of 1996 and $42,317.43 at the end of 1997 to be specifically spent on tax increment
projects within TIF District #1. This would include the territorial prison site.

These tax increment financing districts located in the city, do not share their
growth in commercial-industrial property tax values. (i.e. - these districts do not
contribute to "fiscal disparities".) For taxes payable in 1995, the total increase in
taxes on other properties was $35,875.
*M.S. 469.175, sub. 5
Sample Publication Statement
The fiscal disparity property tax provision provides that the growth in commercial-
industrial property tax values is shared throughout the metropolitan area. In a tax
increment financing district, this value sharing can either result in a tax increase for other
properties in the municipality or result in a decrease in tax increment fmancing district
revenue depending on how the tax increment financing district is established.
Tax increment fmancing district #3 Arkell Project located in Stillwater City does not
share its growth in commercial-industrial property tax values. This results in an increase
in property taxes for other properties located in Stillwater City. For taxes payable in
1995, this increase in taxes on other properties amounted to $1,089.

OPINION
Ms. Diane Deblon, City Treasurer
City of Stillwater
Washington County, Minnesota
RE: General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1994C
Dear Ms. Deblon:
After the issuance of the above bonds some aspects of the project for which the bonds were issued
were abandoned which has resulted in a surplus of bond proceeds in the General Obligation Tax
Increment Bonds, Series 1994C Construction Fund. You have asked for my opinion with regard to the
use of these surplus funds.
Although these bonds were issued to fund improvements in Tax Increment Financing District No.
4, they were sold as General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.176,
Subd. 4, a statute that allows for tax increment bonds to be sold subject only to the same conditions as
Chapter 475 Bonds. Chapter 475 provides that the proceeds of any bonds must be disbursed for the use
named in the Resolution or other instrument authorizing the obligation but that if the contemplated use
be afterward abandoned, the remainder of the funds may be devoted to any other public use authorized
by law and approved by Resolution adopted in the manner required to authorize bonds for a new purpose.
Although Resolution No. 94-140, the authority resolution, requires that bond proceeds remaining
in the Construction Fund be transferred to the 1994C Bond Fund, the City would, nevertheless, be
entitled to use the surplus proceeds as permitted in Chapter 475 since the surplus in the Construction
Fund resulting from the abandonment of portions of the project are not "excess bond proceeds" as
described in the Resolution and further, since the authority given the City by Chapter 475 would allow
the City to take this action, a conflicting provision in the authorizing Resolution notwithstanding.

In addition, the bonds remain secured by the full faith and credit of the City and also tax.
increment income generated within the City's Tax. Increment Financing District No.4.
In conclusion, surplus bond proceeds remaining in General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds,
Series 1994C Construction Fund may be devoted to any public use authorized by law if approved by a
Resolution adopted by a majority of the City Council.

Mr. Nile Kriesel

216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
RE: Territorial Prison Site
enear Mr. Kriesel:
Pursuant to my comments at the last city council meeting I attended, I am providing herewith
figures on the economic impact to the Stillwater area of the Radisson Territorial Prison Park
Hotel & Suites Project. The economic impact was prepared by our hospitality consultants at
JLC Marketing Associates.
As can be seen from the enclosed, the Radisson Hotel & Suites will provide over 61,000 visitors
to the Stillwater area for overnight lodging with another 102,000 for dining and banquet
events. It will generate over $10,756,000.00 in visitor expenditures annually in Stillwater. It
will create 150 new full and part-time jobs and pay approximately $1.3 million annually in
wages. It will generate another $266,000.00 per year in property tax revenues as opposed to
the $27,000.00 currently generated. The establishment will also purchase approximately
$858,000.00 in supplies annually from businesses in the Stillwater area.
The great positive economic impact of this project should not overshadow the historical,
aesthetic and cultural aspects of the project. We are proposing to take a site which is now an
eyesore and turn it into an aesthetically pleasing area with open spaces while integrating the
historical aspects of the property, so that the entire site may be enjoyed by not only our guests,
but the general public. If this project does not go forward, the site will deteriorate. There will
be no significant development and it will most likely be used for warehousing or light
manufacturing. That would not be the highest and best use for Stillwater. The Territorial
Prison Site, together with the Minnesota Zephyr will anchor the north end of town and
. complete the historical walking tour loop. It is difficult to understand why anyone would
Mr. Nile Kriesel
April 26, 1996
Page 2
oppose a project which provides such economic, historical, cultural and aesthetic benefits to the
City of Stillwater.
I would appreciate it if you would provide copies of this letter with the economic impact
enclosure to council members for their consideration prior to the workshop meeting scheduled
for April 30, 1996.
If you have any questions or 'sh to discuss this, please feel free to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Enclosures

WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LAST YEAR, SO IT IS MY
RECOMMENDATION THAT PERMISSION BE GRANTED.
I DON'T REMEMBER IF THERE WERE STIPULATIONS PUT ON THEM BY THE
COUNCIL LAST YEAR, BUT IT SHOULD BE OK TO BLOCK OFF NORTH EVERETT
STREET BETWEEN LINDEN STREET AND LAUREL STREET. IT ONLY EFFECTS 2-3
RESIDENCES AND THE PERSONNEL FROM THE HOPE HOUSE SHOULD BE TOLD TO
CONTACT THE EFFECTED HOMEOWNERS. THEY CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH

On May 11, 1996 Hope House will be conducting
an auction from 9:00 AM to approximately 3:00 PM.
This will be on the front lawn of the 451 N. Everett

CITY OF STILLWATER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

City Council
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, :MN 55082
Dear City Council Members:
Please find following a statement of opinion from the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce
concerning the proposed Condo development on South Second Street:
.
While we as a chamber are in full support of residential housing in the historic downtown
district, and are always in favor of increasing the tax base of our city, we feel we must
confront the real issue of parking in the downtown district. Parking has been and continues to
be a major concern for all who do business in or visit downtown Stillwater. Any activity that
reduces or exacerbates the parking situation, especially on the South end of town, cannot be
supported at this time.
The City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce looks forward to working with the City of
Stillwater on real solutions to this situation, so that business opportunities, resident
enjoyment, and fiscal enhancement can continue to be an integral part of our historic business
district.
Sincerely,
~Sy~~\\\

10: STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL
We feel it a necessity to write to you as a downtown business owner, in order to
let you know our objection to the UBC site as a condo project.
Speaking as business owners, it is vitally important that we have adequate
parking downtown within walking distance to the entire town. Our first
concern is for the customers in our store. They are very concerned about the
parking problem. They are ticketed and sometimes towed away. They also
move their cars every two hours.
.
Our second concern is the fact that the antique stores and restaurants are not
taken seriously as a major contribution to downtown. Our parking needs are
our main concern at this point, and an immediate necessity.
We feel the proposed three-story (Shorty's) ramps is inadequate. We
personally buy three parking permits for our employees and they often can't
find space in that lot, meaning that one-third of that ramp is full now.
Whereas, the UBC lot has unlimited possibilities for parking with an immediate
solution to the parking problem we now face.
Keeping in mind that parking has always been a problem with the downtown
area and, like it or not, our downtown has become a tourist destination and we
need to provide adequate parking immediately.
Thank you.

Stillwater City Council
As homeowners directly adjoining the proposed condo project,
we would like to voice our objections.
We feel that the project is too large and would dominate the
landscape.
Also, the representative from Girard Realty has stated many
times that they are designing their building as not to block anyones'
river view - but they are certainly blocking mine. The large portion
of the building with the gable roof is directly blocking our view and
is to be built on the property line.
We would ask the Council to consider their injury to our
property when considering the height variance issue.
Respectfully,

Sub j ect: Long Lake
April 20. 1996
Dear Si rs:
I called Klayton Eckles early on Friday. April 19 to request a meeting at the culverts
on 72nd Street because they were still obstructed. Contrary to what I understood at
the Council meeting of 4/16/96. it appeared that the pipes had not been cleaned and
that only a sump had been dug at the outlet of the pipes. Mr. Eckles had other
commitments and he delegated Dave Junker to meet me at 10:30 Friday morning.
Mr. Junker and another representative of the City looked into the pipes and
determined that the pipes were indeed still obstructed and partially filled in with
siltation. Mr. Junker stated that the City would clean the pipes next week. This is
critical to ensure that the drainage system works as designed. If the flow out of
Long Lake cannot readi 1 y get to the wei r under County Road 12. Long Lake wi 11 not be
lowered sufficiently to contain future storm flow adequately. I would still
recommend that the pipes be removed and/or replaced; however. cleaning them will
. a help.
The reason for this letter is to commend Mr. Junker for meeting on such short notice
and promising to correct the pipe problem this coming week. Thanks.

Re: 1996 Certified Local Government Application
MHS Number: 1892F-96-YA
Federal Project Number: 27-96-11101A.011
Dear Mayor Kimble:
This letter is to inform you that on March 14, 1996, the Minnesota
Historical Society's Grants Review Committee reviewed your Certified Local
Government grant application. Their recommendation was to approve all of the
grant requests pending award of the full 1996 appropriation for Minnesota.
The 1996 Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) appropriation continues to be held
up in Congress with the Department of the Interior budget.
So as not to delay these worthy projects, the committee recommended
projects be funded in the order of their review ratings. Nina Archaba1, MHS
Director and State Historic Preservation Officer, and the Society's Executive
Committee confirmed the committee's recommendation at their April 18 meeting.
Ye have currently received approximately 58% of our federal funding
which will allow only six of the ten applications to be funded at this time.
Ye are hopeful that all projects will be funded in sufficient time to enable
cities to complete projects as planned. Ye need to remind you that you cannot
begin work on the project until you receive confirmation that our office has
received additional federal dollars that will include funds for your request.
Your project is ranked number seven. Our office will also send a Certified
Local Government Grant Agreement which outlines the federal requirements
necessary for the implementation of the grant.
Ye will keep you informed and ask your patience while we continue to
wait out the 1996 budget process. Please feel free to call me at 612-296-
5471, or Beverly Gorgos at 612-296-5451, if you have any questions about this
letter.

Memorandum
TO:
Lower St. Croix Planning Task Force
Counties, Townships and Municipalities along the Lower St. Croix
FROM:
Kate Hanson, Planning Coordinator
Clarence (Buck) Malick, Acting Task Force Chair
RE:
May 1, 1996, Task Force Business Meeting
Phipps Centei fOi the Peifoiming Arts, Rivei Room
109 Locus Street, Hudson, WI
At the conclusion its April 11 planning session, the task force set May 1,
1996, as the next meeting date. Items we identified to include on the agenda are:
* Select a more permanent chair for the task force. (Buck Malick has been
acting in this capacity since the February task force organizational meeting).
RELATING TO THIS, PLEASE SEE THE REVERSE OF THIS PAGE.
* Review the preliminary list of issues that were identified at the planning
sessions held during the week of April 8, decide which of these issues the
task force wants to delve into in the next 3-4 months, and set a schedule for
future task force meetings.
* Clarify the role of the task force.
Because some of the task force members were unable to attend the April 8-
11 planning sessions, we should also review the outcome of our work that week
and the follow-up steps that are being taken to get broader public review of the
draft statements of purpose, significance and exceptional resources.
As time permits, there are a number of other items we can discuss, such as:
(a) how to proceed with development of the Watershed Stewardship Statement
and (b) the meeting on river crossings that the task force wanted to have
scheduled (this is being arranged for May 30).
Kate will be out of town from April 24~30, so please contact either Buck
Malick (715-386-7010) or Steve Johnson (612-296~4802) with questions.
, .
To select a more permanent task force chairperson on May 1, please consider the
following:
.
A. Should the chair have a defined term of office? If so, for how long?
B. Would you like to be a candidate? If not, is there someone you would like to
nominate?
C. What is the role of the chairperson?
You've seen how Buck has functioned as the acting chair at the meetings
we have had to date, but you might not be aware of all the other contributions he
has made outside of meetings. Following is an outline of the responsibilities Buck
has taken on. I hope that the chair will continue to work with me and the
interagency planning team in the same manner; I think the chairperson role Suck
has helped define has been key to the way we've begun to work together as a
group and communicate with the larger public. ---Kate Hanson
Tentative Description of RoJe of Chairperson:
1. Ongoing coordination with the Planning Coordinator (Kate Hanson) and
Interagency Planning Team (Tony Andersen, Jim Harrison, Steve Johnson, Terry
Moe, and staff from the NPS Denver Service Center).
* Help develop agendas for task force meetings (such as the May 1 and May
30 meetings) and intensive planning sessions (such as the April 8-11
sessions) .
.
* Track and help organize details, such as start/finish times,
meals/refreshments, room arrangements.
* Help develop written materials, such as public notices of meetings and
press rele~~cs.
2. Preside neutrally at task force meetings.
* Welcome participants and facilitate their comfort.
* Anticipate conflicts, maintain civility, try to frame constructive questions.
* Encourage all viewpoints.
3. Be a spokesperson for the task force.
* Speak tactfully to the press.
* Speak to interest groups occasionally (for example, the Upper Mississippi
Waterways Association requested a presentation on the planning underway
for the Lower St. Croix at its April 1 8 meeting).
