AGENDA ITEM CITY ADMINISTRATOR APPROVAL Community and Economic Arbor Lakes Business Park II Development Gravel Mining Area TIF /#- g Development Agreement EDA Resolution No. 29 ~ I # PREVIOUS ACTIONS: None. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Motion to open the public hearing for comment on the TIF request. Motion to close the public hearing. Motion to adopt EDA Resolution No. 29 concurring in the approval of, and authorization to execute, a tax increment financing development agreement for Arbor Lakes Business Park Phase II. COMMENTS: Endeavor Development has submitted a request for tax increment financing assistance to aid in the costs to construct the Arbor Lakes Business Park phase II. The proposed development includes a 221,549 square foot building located at the southeast comer of the Elm Creek Boulevard and Zachary Lane intersection. Final land use approvals for the proposed development are on this City Council agenda (June 7). The City of Maple Grove and the EDA have statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes to assist in the financing of costs related to projects as an incentive for the development to occur. With the use of tax-increment financing, the development must pass a "but-for" test which means the development must prove it would not occur without the use of public assistance. Extraordinary costs related to this development include soil correction costs and deferred assessments ("land costs") which are qualified costs that TIF can be used for via State Statute. Gravel Mining Area (GMA) TIF District On February 5, 2018, the City Council and EDA approved the tax increment financing plan for the Gravel Mining Area (GMA) TIF District. The district was subsequently certified with the state and encompasses all parcels within the GMA. The GMA TIF District is a soil deficiency district which required special legislative approval. The district was defined as a soil deficiency district due to the presence of unusual soils or terrain deficiencies which require substantial filling, grading, or other physical preparation for use. The intention for the creation of the district was to stimulate development Brett Angell, Project Manager - X6003 Arbor Lakes Business Park II TIF Development Agreement Approval Request for EDA Action June7,2021 Page2 within the area and to allow for the city to collect increment to aid in the extensive infrastructure improvements needed in the area. Increment within the district has begun to be collected in 2021 with the district having a 21-year period. Since the GMA TIF District is already established and the TIF plan for the district has been approved, the city has the ability to add projects to the district without the need of creating a new TIF district or TIF plan. In order to add a project to the district, the City Council and EDA must approve a TIF development agreement for the project. Since the proposed development is in the GMA area, the project qualifies to be added into the GMA TIF district. TIF Development Agreement The total TIF assistance contemplated for the developer related to this project is $1.1 million. Based on review of the developer's project budget and 15-year proforma, city staff and Ehlers and Associates detennined that providing TIF assistance in this amount is necessary to make the project financially feasible. Included below is a summary of the terms contained within the TIF development agreement. The full agreement is attached and an overview was provided at the EDA meeting. 1. General a. The TIF development agreement is with Endeavor Investments III, LLC. 2. Tax Increment a. The developer will be reimbursed for soil correction and land costs in the form of a pay-as- you-go (PA YGO) note in the amount of $1.1 million 1. The defined costs include up to $900,000 for soil correction costs and up to $200,000 for land costs. 11. Issued upon completion of the project and proof of expenditure of qualified costs. 111. Term of the TIF Note will be for 9 years. iv. Developer will receive 90% of the increment generated from the project for the term identified above. 3. Job and Wage Goals a. The project requires at least 50 full-time equivalent pennanent employee positions with wage levels of at least 150% of the State of Minnesota minimum wage, exclusive of benefits within two years. b. If the job and wage goals are not met, the principal amount of the TIF Note may be reduced by the city by a pro rata formula. c. The developer agrees to work with the tenants to obtain the job and wage reporting data Brett Angell, Project Manager - X6003 Arbor Lakes Business Park II TIF Development Agreement Approval Request for EDA Action June 7, 2021 Page 3 necessary to demonstrate the above goals are met. 4. Taxes a. The developer shall pay all real property taxes. b. The developer cannot seek a deferral or abatement of taxes, or sell to a tax-exempt user. c. The developer must inform the EDA in writing of filing any tax petitions. The EDA will withhold any TIF payment until the tax petition is settled or dismissed and will not be required to pay any interest on the withheld amount. 5. Assessment Agreement a. An agreement which will set a minimum assessed market value for the proposal. The developer shall agree to petition for a value below the minimum assessed amount until the term of the TIF note is completed. 6. Lookback Provisions a. The developer will be required to submit financials to the City's Municipal Advisor at a specified time for review. The amount of the TIF note would be reduced should the qualified costs be less than the defined amount in the agreement, the cash-on-cash rate of return exceeds the projected amount at the time of project stabilization, and/or if the developer sells the project within the first seven (7) years and their return exceeds the defined projection. Public Hearing As required by statute, a public hearing notice was published for June 7, 2021 EDA meeting to allow for public comment on the TIF development agreement and use of public subsidy.

Section 3.4. Rental; Compliance. The Developer shall rent the Project to tenants who will use the leased space solely for manufacturing and/or warehouse distribution purposes and space necessary for and related to manufacturing or warehousing and distribution (the "Use Restrictions"). The Developer shall include language in the lease agreement which requires the tenants to comply with the Use Restrictions. The Developer shall annually submit on or before May I of each year commencing May 1, 2023 a Compliance Certificate that all tenants of the Project are in compliance with this Section. Section 3.5. Business Subsidies Act. (I) In order to satisfy the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 (the "Business Subsidies Act"), the Developer acknowledges and agrees that the amount of the "Business Subsidy" granted to the Developer under this Agreement is $1,100,000 which is the reimbursement amount for the acquisition of the Development Property and the correction of the Soil Deficiencies and that the Business Subsidy is needed because the Project is not sufficiently feasible for the Developer to undertake without the Business Subsidy. The Tax Increment District is soil deficiency district and the public purpose of the Business Subsidy is to encourage the construction of manufacturing and/or warehouse and distribution facilities. The Developer agrees that it will cause tenants of the Project to meet the following goals (the "Goals") in connection with the development of the Development Property: to create at least 50 full time equivalent jobs 8 13439256vl having wage levels of at least 150% of the State of Minnesota minimum wage, exclusive of benefits within two years from the "Benefit Date", which is the earlier of the date the Developer completes construction of the Project or the first tenant occupies the Project. The Developer shall include in its leases with tenants the requirement that the tenants shall provide wage and job information to the Developer and the EDA so that the Developer can comply with the provisions of this Section. (2) If no Goals are met, the Developer agrees to repay all of the Business Subsidy to the EDA, plus interest ("Interest") set at the implicit price deflator defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 275.70, Subdivision 2, accruing from and after the Benefit Date, compounded semiannually. If the Goals are met in part, the Developer will repay a portion of the Business Subsidy (plus Interest) determined by multiplying the Business Subsidy by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of jobs in the Goals which were not created at the wage level set forth above and the denominator of which is 50 (i.e. number of jobs set forth in the Goals). (3) The Developer agrees to (i) report on the progress of the tenants on achieving the Goals to the EDA until the later of the date the Goals are met or two years from the Benefit Date, or, if the Goals are not met, until the date the Business Subsidy is repaid, (ii) include in the report the information required in Minnesota Statutes, Section 1161.994, Subdivision 7 on forms developed by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and (iii) send completed reports to the EDA. The Developer agrees to file these reports no later than March 1 of each year commencing March 1, 2023, and within 30 days after the deadline for meeting the Goals. The EDA agrees that if it does not receive the reports, it will mail the Developer a warning within one week of the required filing date. If within 14 days of the post marked date of the warning the reports are not made, the Developer agrees to pay to the EDA a penalty of $100 for each subsequent day until the report is filed up to a maximum of $1,000. ( 4) The Developer agrees to continue operations within the City for at least five (5) years after the Benefit Date. (5) There are no other state or local government agencies providing financial assistance for the Project other than the EDA. ( 6) There is no parent corporation of the Developer. (7) The Developer certifies that it does not appear on the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development's list of recipients that have failed to meet the terms of a business subsidy agreement. Section 3.6. Execution of Assessment Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Developer and the EDA shall execute an Assessment Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 8, specifying the Assessor's Minimum Market Value for the Development Property and the Project for calculation of real property taxes. Specifically, the Developer shall agree to a market value for the Development Property and the Project which will result in a market value as of ( 1) January 2, 2023 of not less than $15,510,000 until the Termination Date (such minimum market value at the time applicable is herein referred to as the "Assessor's Minimum Market Value"). Nothing in the Assessment 9 1 3439256vI Agreement shall limit the discretion of the Assessor to assign a market value to the property in excess of such Assessor's Minimum Market Value nor prohibit the Developer from seeking through the exercise of legal or administrative remedies a reduction in such market value for property tax purposes, provided however, that the Developer shall not seek a reduction of such market value below the Assessor's Minimum Market Value in any year so long as the Assessment Agreement shall remain in effect. The Assessment Agreement shall remain in effect until the earlier of (1) termination of the Development Agreement or (2) December 31, 2030. The Assessment Agreement shall be certified by the Assessor for the County as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 8, upon a finding by the Assessor that the Assessor's Minimum Market Value represents a reasonable estimate based upon the plans and specifications for the Project to be constructed on the Development Property and the market value previously assigned to the Development Property. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 8, the Assessment Agreement shall be filed for record in the office of the county recorder or registrar of titles of Hennepin County, and such filing shall constitute notice to any subsequent encumbrancer or purchaser of the Development Property ( or part thereof), whether voluntary or involuntary, and such Assessment Agreement shall be binding and enforceable in its entirety against any such subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer, including the holder of any mortgage recorded against the Development Property. Section 3.7. Action to Reduce Taxes. Developer may seek through petition or other means to have the market value of the Development Property reduced, provided however, that the Developer shall not seek a reduction of such market value below the Assessor's Minimum Market Value. Until the final Payment Date of the TIF Note (February 1, 2032), such activity must be preceded by written notice from the Developer to the EDA indicating its intention to do so. Upon receiving such notice, or otherwise learning of the Developer's intentions, the EDA may suspend paym ents due under the TIF Note until the actual amount of the reduction is determined, whereupon the EDA will make the suspended payments less any amount that the EDA is required to repay the County as a result of any reduction in market value of the Development Property. During the period that the paym ents are subject to suspension the EDA may make partial payments on the TIF Note if it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion that the amount retained will be sufficient to cover any repaym ent which the County may require. The EDA's suspension of payments on the TIF Note pursuant to this Section shall not be considered a default under this Agreement. Section 3.8. Look Back and Reduction ofTIF Assistance. The financial assistance to be provided to the Developer pursuant to this Agreement is based on certain assumptions regarding the projected costs and expenses associated with constructing the Project (as provided in the Pro Forma submitted to the EDA by the Developer and attached as Exhibit E). The EDA and Developer agree that those assumptions will be reviewed at the time of completion of construction of the Project and stabilization of the Project, or, if earlier, at the time of any sale of the Project. Once the review in Section 3.9 has occurred and, if applicable, the TIF Note has been reduced, thereafter Section 3.9 will not apply, in other words, at most there will be only one reduction in the TIP Note pursuant to Section 3 .9. At the time of completion of construction of the Project, if the aggregate amount of the costs of correction of the Soil Deficiencies incurred is less than the aggregate amount of the costs of correction of the Soil Deficiencies projected in Exhibit E, the TIF assistance for the costs of correction of the Soil Deficiencies will be reduced on a dollar for dollar 10 13439256v1 basis in the amount of such deficiency and the principal amount of the TIF Note will be adjusted accordingly. Section 3.9. Property Stabilization. When the Project is 95% leased, the Developer agrees to provide to the Consultant certified cost and revenue information related to the Project and income and expenses for the period from the date of this Agreement through when the Project is 95% leased. The cost and revenue information will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in accordance with Exhibit E. If the Consultant determines, based on such review, that the actual net operating income realized by the Developer has exceeded a 7% Cash on Cost Return ("COC") during that period (to be calculated in a manner comparable to the sample attached as Exhibit E), then 50% of the excess amount of such net operating income over the 7% COC will be applied to reduce the amount payable under the TIF Note and the principal amount of the TIF Note will be reduced accordingly. Such reduction will be effective upon delivery to Developer of a written notice stating the amount of such excess net operating income as determined by the EDA in accordance with this Section, accompanied by the Consultant's report. Section 3.10. Property Sale. If the Developer sells the Project to an unrelated third party during the first 6 years of the term of this Agreement, the Developer agrees to provide to the Consultant certified cost (if sold before stabilization, but not necessary if after the lookback is performed under Section 3.9 as those costs will have been certified to the Consultant) and revenue information (inclusive of the annual tax increment payments for that year) related to the Project and expenses for the year in which the sale takes place. If the sale takes place prior to year-end, current revenue and expenses shall be provided and will be utilized for purposes of projecting forward to determine total expenses for that year. If the sale is prior to stabilization, revenue and expense assumptions will include revenue and expenses to date which will then be utilized to project revenue and expenses as if the project were stabilized. The expense and revenue information will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. If the Consultant determines, based on such review, that the COC as calculated in Exhibit E exceeds 7%, then 50% of the excess amount of such net operating income over the 7% COC will be applied to reduce the amount payable under the TIF Note and the principal amount of the TIF Note will be reduced accordingly. Such reduction will be effective upon delivery to Developer of a written notice stating the amount of such excess profit as determined by the EDA in accordance with this Section, accompanied by the Consultant's report. 11 I 3439256vl ARTICLE IV EVENTS OF DEFAULT Section 4.1.

Section 4.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the EDA is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. Section 4.4. No Implied Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by any party and thereafter waived by any other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent breach hereunder.
