REBATE OF EXCESS TAX INCREMENTS TO EDINA SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROVED Executive
Director Hughes explained that a letter had been received from the Board of
Education for the Edina Public Schools requesting that the HRA rebate the
excess tax increments resulting from the 1988 excess levy referendum. The
rebate would be collected from the Grandview Tax Increment Financing district
in the amount of $20,000.00.
• The HRA has granted similar rebates to the School district since 1991.
Rebated funds have been used for a variety of projects which benefit both the
School District and the City. In 1991, funds were used to recondition tennis
courts at the Community Center. In 1992, rebated funds were applied to the
cost of rehabilitation of the track at Kuhlman Field. In 1993, funds were
used for replacing the playing surface in the field house at Edina High
School.
At the School District's suggestion, rebated funds would be applied to the
cost of replacing the playing surface at the field house. The project costs
approximately $200,000.00, therefore the HRA rebate could be applied for a
number of years towards this project. As an alternative, the rebate could be
applied towards the cost of improving handicap accessibility to the seating
area and to an upgrade of the press box at Kuhlman Field. Based upon our past
policies, staff would recommend that the rebate be directed towards
replacement of the playing surface at the field house.
The requested rebate is for 1994 only; future rebates would be considered on a
year-by-year basis.
After a brief discussion, Commissioner Smith introduced the following
Resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION

Minnesota, does hereby approve payment of rebate of excess tax increments in

for the year 1994 to Independent School District No. 273 to be used for the
J
cost of replacing the playing surface in the Edina High School Field House.
• Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Commissioner Kelly.
