Motion carried on rollcall vote - five ayes. EDINA SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUEST FOR EXCESS TAX INCREMENT REBATE APPROVED Executive Director Hughes stated the Edina Public Schools Board of Education has recently adopted a resolution requesting the HRA rebate excess tax increments resulting from the 1988 excess levy referendum. The requested rebate amounts to $20,000 for 1995 and $20,000 for 1996. The rebated amounts would be collected only from the Grandview Tax Increment Financing District. Executive Director Hughes explained the HRA has granted similar rebates to the school district in 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994. The present request encompasses both 1995 and 1996 because the district inadvertently neglected to make the request for 1995. Rebated funds have historically been used for a variety of projects benefitting both the School District and the City. In 1991, funds were used to recondition tennis courts at the Community Center. In 1992, the rebate was applied to rehabilitating the track at Kuhlman Field. In 1993 and 1994, rebated funds were used for replacing the playing surface in the Field House at Edina High School. Executive Director Hughes noted the School District resolution suggests rebated funds from 1995 and 1996 will be applied to resurfacing the running track and tennis courts at the Edina Community Center. He added the rebate is for 1995 and 1996 only, with any future rebates considered on a year-by-year basis. After a brief discussion, Commissioner Maetzold introduced the following Resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina, Minnesota does with this approve payment of rebate of excess tax increments in the amount of$20,000 from the Grandview Tax Increment Financing District for the year 1995 and $20,000 from the Grandview Tax Increment Financing District for the year 1996 to Independent School District No. 273 to be used for the purpose of resurfacing the running track and tennis courts at the Edina Community Center.
