The new equipment is located in the present offices at 4701 Beard Av. S. The changeover, at a cost of $10- million, will replace older electro- mechanical equipment. Customers whose numbers start with 920, 922, 925, 926, 927 and 929 will be affected by the change. For the first time these customers will have Custom Calling features in addition to international direct dialing services available to them. At some point in the near future when the dust is settled, we would like to invite you and your council to a luncheon and tour of the new facilities. We are pleased and proud to be able to provide this quality of service to you and the residents of Edina. Sincerely, N. A. Ostlund Manager Customer Relations '604" d I$] I 101-val IV` jb[ league of minnesota cities March 8, 1979 The culmination of three years of research, discussion and vigorous lobbying on behalf of the principle of maintaining local home rule in the area of redevelopment will commence on Wednesday, March 14, 1979. As many municipal officials will recall, Tax Increment Finance was debated in both Houses of the Legislature in both 1977 and 1978. In both the 1977 and 1978 sessions, efforts were made to repeal or severely restrict the use of tax increment finance for redevel- opment of Minnesota's cities. Only a unified effort involving members of the L.M.C./ N.A.H.R.O, Joint Task Force on Tax Increment Finance and concerned municipal officials from throughout the state were able to influence members of the Legislature and prevent the passage of a bill that would have severely restricted the use of tax increment finance. SENATE TAX COMMITTEE HEARING - MARCH 14, 3 - 6 p.m. IN ROOM 15 CAPITOL Once again, the L.M,C. /N.A.H.R.O. Joint Task Force is requesting that you assist in the fight to preserve tax increment finance. Under the rules instituted by Senate Tax Com- mittee Chairman, William McCutcheon, the hearing next Wednesday may be the only opportunity to speak in favor of and lobby for passage of the LMC /NAHRO supported tax increment finance bill. (Senate File 451. The authors of the bill are Hubert "Skip" Humphrey, New Hope; Mel Frederick, West Concord; Gene Stokowski, Minneapolis; John Bernhagen, Hutchinson; and Howard Olson, St. James.) Therefore, it is imperative that as a local official, you write or call your Senator prior to March 14th or make an appointment to see your Senator if you are in St. Paul on March 14, 1979, The League of Minnesota Cities /Minnesota NAHRO Joint Task Force feels that many of the previous concerns expressed by the Legislature in 1978 have been addressed in Senate File 451. Notwithstanding, there are five probable areas of difference between supporters of our bill and those who would like to reduce the effectiveness of tax increment finance. These five areas are briefly outlined below. (1) A limitation on the amount of tax increment finance activity that shall be permitted in a city. Some legislators argue that an overall limitation of the use of tax increment finance should be enacted. The most likely form of this limitation would involve limiting the amount of property encompassed off, all tax increment finance projects in a city to a percentage of the assessed or market value of that city. (OVER) 300 hanover building, 4130 cedar street, saint paul, minnesota 55101 (61 21 222 -2661 -2- The LMC /NAHRO bill contains an adequate set of limitations in that the new definitions of blight will effectively limit the number of redevelopment projects that may occur in a city. Housing projects are clearly defined and limited to the con - struction of low- moderate income housing. Additionally, the federal and state requirements for the establishment of housing projects are essentially another form of limitation as no low- moderate income housing projects can be constructed without federal and /or state commitment to finance construction, mortgaging or rents associated with such housing. The limi- tation on the use.of tax increment finance for economic devel- opment is included in the bill in the form of a percentage of project market value to the market value of the entire city. (2) Fiscal Disparities The tax base sharing provisions in the Twin Cities Metropoli- tan area includes the Fiscal Disparities Act. Under current Legislation.,.Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) (M.S. 462.411 et seq.) tax increment districts are exempt from the Fiscal Disparity Law and Municipal Development Districts (M.S. 472A.01 et seq.) must contribute 40% of all new tax base in the district to the metropolitan pool for redistribution. Under provisions of the LMC /NAHRO Bill, all tax increment districts would be subject to fiscal disparities. However, the city would have the option of contributing a share of taxable value from the district equal to the contribution ratio of the city (as opposed to an automatic 40% contribution ratio) or the city could elect to let the district capture the total annual tax increment and make up the share that would have been generated by new growth in the district from pro- perty outside the district. This provision is of primary importance to suburban areas whose contribution ratios may shift annually thus preventing adequate financial planning in tax increment districts. (3) Determination of Base Assessed Value As in the case of Fiscal Disparities, determination of the base assessed value is different under the H.R.R. and De- velopment District Law, the base frozen assessed value remains the same throughout the lifetime of the project regardless of changes in the tax status of the property within the district boundaries. H.R.A...tax increment districts are characterized by a changing base assessed value as the tax status of property within the district changes. When property is acquired by a public agency, the property assumes a tax exempt status and the base assessed value is lowered accordingly. However, once the property is sold to a private developer, the property as- sumes the value it had at the time the district was established for the purpose of determining tax increments. Egli The LMC /NAHRO Bill provides for annual adjustments to the base assessed value thereby reflecting the present tax status of this property in the district regardless of whether the property was in private or public ownership. This.provision would prevent t::x increment "short falls" resulting from the purchase of property in a district by a non- profit organiza- tion such as a church or the acquisition of property by an entity paying a gross earnings tax as opposed to the local property tax. (4) Contract Requirements Since there is presently no provision in any of the current tax increment finance legislation requiring the city or local redevelopment authority to enter into contracts with developers prior to the initiation of the redevelopment process , :.tome .members of the Legislature would like to re- quire a city contemplating the creation of a redevelopment district to have a developer under contract before creating the district. However, this provision would add time to the redevelopment process and time is the enemy of any developer or contractor. No developer wants his money tied up during the series of meetings and public hearings prior to the establishment of the district. Similarly, a legislative provision advocated by some legislators requiring contracts between the city and developer before bond sales may occur, also add time to the development process and deprive cities of a source of funds for front end costs such as appraisals, administration and planning. The LMC /NAHRO position regarding contractual agreements with developers would permit the acquisition of no more than 25% of the land in a district or project area without having entered into a contractual agreement with a developer. No other land could be acquired unless this initial 25% had been redeveloped or a developer was securely under contract for the development of another portion of the tax increment dis- trict. (5) Duration of Tax Increment Districts There is currently`no limitation on the duration of tax in- crement districts'. While general obligation bonds have a maximum 30 year lifetime (M.S. §475.54), tax increment could continue to be collected beyond the 30 year lifetime of the bonds. The LMC /NAHRO tax increment finance bill limits housing pro- jects and redevelopment projects to a duration of 25 years. This means that tax Increments may only be collected for a period of 25 years when tax increment finance is used in blighted redevelopment areas or to assist in financing housing for low- moderate income persons. Economic develop- ment projects, which involve less risk and fewer public costs than redevelopment or housing projects, are limited to 15 year duration period for the collection of tax increments. (OVER) -4- We urge you, to familiarize yourself with these five areas and the LMC /NAHRO tax increment finance bill in general. Then write, call or make an appointment to personally visit with your Senator on or before March 14, 1979. The League office will provide staff members to assist you and answer any questions that arise on March 14th prior to the Senate Tax Committee hearing. Remember, this may be the only chance to voice support for tax incre- ment finance in the Senate so your support on March 14th is urgently needed. See you March 14, 1979. 06411iiiiiilih d 111 lWal Iw'a league of minnesota cities iarcn 7, 1979 TO: Tax Increment Finance Steering and Task Force Committees; Interested Persons FRO!.: Arlin Waelti, Legislative Representative RE: Hearing in Senate Tax Committee, 'Hednesday, Harch 14th, 3 - 6 p.m. in „ooi-,. 15" Capitol The word is out! All legislation relating to taxes will be rolled into one bill in the Senate and that includes tax increment financing. We have been informed that Senator Hanson will be introducing a tax increment financing bill which will include overali,, limitations. Therefore, dropping( ur legislation for this legislative year does not appear to be a viable alternative. We are not sure that there will be a second hearing on tax increment financing in the Senate. 14e must assume, presently, that P-iarch 14th may be the only hearing on the issue in Senate committee. The five proballe areas of difference that we anticipate are the following: (1) a limitation on the amount of tax increment finance activity that.s;.all be permitted in a city, (2) Fiscal Disparities, (3) determination of base assessed value, (4) contract requirements, and (5) duration of tax increment districts. Further discussion of these differences is included in the attached enclosure. Members of the Senate Tax Committee are as follows: 11cCutcheon, Chairman; Olhoft, Vice Chairman; Bang; Bernhagen; Chmielewski; Davies; Dieterich; Frederick; Hanson, Jensen; Johnson; Merriam; Olson; Peterson; Schrom; Setzepfandt; Sieloff; Sillers; Stokowski; Wegener. If you know any of these Senators, or.are in their districts and are using or contemplating the use of tax increment financing in your cities, please contact them before �Iviednesday, March 14 to let them know how important tax increment financing is to your city and to support the League /NAHRO bill. We have our work cut out for us. Now is the time to Act. Contact your legislators. Jam the hearing room on Wednesday and bring as many people with you as possible. Come early and use the day.to talk with legislators. Attempt to arrange appointments to see them prior to the date of the hearing. Most meaningful contact occurs outside hearing rooms. If you need additional information or materials, contact the League office. 300 hanover building, 480 cedar street, saint paul, minnesota 55101 C6123 222 -2861 AGENDA COMMUNITY SEMINAR APRIL 21, 1979 8:45 a.m. Introduction 9:00 -11:00 a.m. Low and Moderate Housing in Edina - Where to go.
