A CITY COUNCIL/EDA WORKSESSION AGENDA REPORT
DATE: August 28, 2023 2
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE
Prepared by: Ryan Garcia & Clara Hilger
ADMINISTRATOR: RG
Agenda item: EDA Funds Discussion
Desired Meeting Outcomes:
• Provide EDA/Council with a summary of various funds administered by the Economic
Development Authority.
• Facilitate discussion about various funding sources and fund administration options.
• Arrive at consensus, potentially based upon staff recommendations, for Programs.
• Receive direction as related to 2024 EDA and HRA Levies and Budgets.
Overview:
The South St. Paul Economic Development Authority (EDA) was established in 2015 as a special
purpose unit of government empowered by Minnesota Statutes §469.001 through §469.047 and
§469.090 through §469.1082 for the purpose of facilitating development and redevelopment in the City.
Since its establishment, the EDA has served an important role in the continued advancement of the
City’s vision and goals for job creation, increase of the commercial and industrial property tax base, and
reclamation and revitalization of blighted or otherwise underutilized property within the City. Per its
enabling resolution and the powers vested in it through the aforementioned statutes, the EDA has levied
annual property taxes to support its statutory purpose. In addition, the EDA has assumed the functional
role of the City’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) for all matters besides public housing.
Among these are several “legacy” programs and funding sources to support business development,
redevelopment, and reinvestment in the City’s housing stock.
The City’s Economic Development Strategy, most recently updated in 2021, lists among one of its five
central goals to “leverage and expand the City’s redevelopment toolbox”. Strategic actions identified
under this goal point squarely at the importance of dynamic funding programs and policies to address
the challenges that are inherent with redevelopment. To this end, Staff have endeavored to examine the
EDA’s current funding tools holistically, and is prepared to discuss with the EDA/Council how to
strategically align and begin deploying these tools to meet the City’s most pressing redevelopment
needs. An outline for discussion is presented as an attachment to this memo, and is intended to guide
Monday’s worksession discussion as well as the preliminary 2024 EDA and HRA levies and budgets.
Economic Development / Redevelopment Programs
Funds Overview – August 2023
Summary of Recommendations:
1. Allocate $625,522 in HRA Levy from 2020 – 2023 to Fund 20284, the EDA’s existing
“Development” fund. Originally, these levy dollars were generally levied for “MHS
Implementation”. Through other sources, it appears that there is sufficient funding to
support MHS Implementation.
2. Allocate $325,175 in 2024 HRA Levy to Fund 20284.
3. Allocate $50,000 in EDA Levy from 2023 to Fund 20284. In the 2023 budget, these funds
were levied to support the Business/Development Loan Fund (20283). The existing loan
fund appears to have sufficient funding to support current demand in the program.
4. Allocate $111,262 in 2024 EDA Levy to Fund 20284.
5. Write Off Business Loan ($9,991.14) to Sasse Nails/Kristine Koenker, which has been
delinquent for almost five years as the proprietor/business has ceased operations.
6. Transfer $196,082.36 in cash balance from Fund 20287 (Bond Fees) to Fund 20284
(Development) and close Fund 20287 as it has seen no activity in at least 10 years and
appears to be a remnant of previous HRA conduit debt fees.
7. Transfer $5,046.46 in cash balance from Fund 20292 (Rediscover) to Fund 20284 and close
Fund 20292 as it has seen no activity in more than five years and the program was
terminated by resolution of the HRA/EDA/City Council in 2017.
8. Establish a Housing Reinvestment Fund, transferring all cash ($625,050.55 est.) and
receivables ($644,208.07 est.) from existing Funds 20293 and 20294, which are legacy HRA
loan funds which provided rehab loans to low- and moderate-income households. The
Low/Mod home rehab loan program is now administered by Dakota County CDA.
9. Following transfers as recommended in Recommendations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 above,
leverage a total estimated $2,000,000 in the Development Fund (20284) for strategic and
targeted redevelopment purposes as identified in the City’s Economic Development
Strategy (Hardman Triangle).
10. Call 2015A Series Tax Increment Note (est $380,000) in Fall 2023.
11. Leverage unobligated cash and increment (12/31/2024 est. $3,438,862) in Fund 40490
(Concord TIF) towards strategic and targeted redevelopment purposes in the Concord
Street Redevelopment Project Area, with a focus on the Hardman Triangle.
Summary of Economic Development Funds
• Fund 20260 (Housing)
o From 2020 – 2023, annual budgets have cumulatively levied $625,522 for
Operating Transfers, for “Master Housing Strategy Implementation”
o Council has indicated a desire/support for offering low-interest loans as an
implementation tool of MHS.
o Staff recommendation is to transfer the $625,522 in previously levied Operating
Transfers to Fund 20284 (below) for redevelopment purposes
o Staff recommendation is that for 2024 budget, transfer $325,175 to Fund 20284 for
redevelopment purposes (as part of maximum HRA levy after all other budgeted
expenditures)
• Fund 20280 (Economic Development)
o In 2023 annual budget, an operating transfer of $50,000 was proposed to support
the Business/Development Loan fund (20283)
o Details below, but 20283 shows a current cash balance of $775,514.81
o Staff recommendation is to transfer the $50,000 in 2023 levied Operating Transfers
to Fund 20284 (below) for redevelopment purposes
o Staff recommendation is that for 2024 budget, transfer $111,262 to Fund 20284 for
redevelopment purposes (as part of maximum EDA levy after all other budgeted
expenditures)
• Fund 20283 (Business Loans)
o This fund has $775,514.81 in cash balance
o There are currently two outstanding loans, with a total receivable of $35,701.71
Quik Serv License Center (Lewis) with a remaining balance of $25,710.57
and a term date of 12/1/2026
Salon Sa Se with an outstanding balance of $9,991.14. No payment has
been received on this loan since 2018 and the Borrower has not responded
to repeated communication efforts to reconcile.
o There is currently one approved loan (Watson Trading) for $125,000. This is a
potentially forgivable loan, generally:
Interest-only payments due monthly ($468.75) for 60 months following
project completion
1/5 of principal is forgiven on completion date and annually on anniversary
of project completion for four years thereafter if certain development
milestones are achieved and retained.
o Staff recommends:
Write off the Salon Sa Se Loan of $9,991.14
No EDA (or other) Levy Support from 2023 and 2024 budget; continue to
market program to increase participation in the program; possibly support
through levy in future budget years
• Fund 20284 (Development)
o This fund has $740,736.97 in cash
o Fund 20284’s only outstanding liability is a Development Agreement escrow with
Linn Companies (for the Holiday development on Southview) of $47,625. This
escrow will pay for erosion control inspections ($2,100) and the remainder will be
returned to Linn.
o Staff Recommendation is to dedicate fund 20284 towards strategic priorities for
redevelopment purposes (Hardman Triangle), which may include acquisitions,
demolitions, site preparation/remediation, etc.
• Fund 20287 (Bond Fees)
o This fund has $196,082.36 in cash
o Fund does not appear to have any discernible liabilities/obligations
o Staff recommendation is to transfer the $196,082.36 in cash balance to Fund 20284
and close this fund.
• Fund 20292 (Rediscover Housing)
o This fund has $5,046.46 in cash and no discernible liabilities/obligations
o Staff recommendation is to transfer the cash balance to Fund 20284 and close this
fund.
• Fund 20293/20294 (Rehab Loans – Small Cities)
o Funds 20293 and 20294 collectively have accumulated just over $625,000 in cash
balance and would appear that they could be designated towards MHS
implementation
o Funds 20293 and 20294 collectively have $398,769.41 in loans receivable
o Funds 20293 and 20294 collectively have $245,438.66 in interest receivable
o Total “potential” funds available to revolve between these two funds is
$1,269,258.62
o Staff recommendation would be to transfer current cash balance ($625,050.55)
from these funds to MHS Loan Pool
o Staff would recommend that as loans in 20293 and 20294 are paid off, proceeds be
transferred to new MHS Loan Pool (or assign loans/interest receivable to new MHS
Loan Pool?)
o Staff has previously discussed (internally) whether offering an “interest amnesty”
to these borrowers would be desirable. This could potentially result in some portion
of the loans receivable being recovered more quickly, however as the name
suggests the “downside” would be the forfeit of some portion of interest
receivable. Basically, this approach could be a way to get additional funds back
into the revolving pool more quickly at the expense of future interest proceeds.
• Fund 40490
o Fund 40490 has a cash balance of more than $3.875 million and uncommitted
funds can be utilized for eligible public redevelopment costs in the redevelopment
project area as defined in the 2009 TIF Plan for “The Concord Street Tax Increment
Financing District No.2” and statutory TIF law for Redevelopment Districts. Eligible
costs include:
Land/Building Acquisition
Demolition
Site improvements, site preparation, and site remediation
Public Utilities
Parking Facilities
Rehabilitation/Improvement Loans and Grants
Streets/Sidewalks
Administrative Costs
o Fund 40490 has the following obligations:
Per a Development Agreement with DRS Investment VI for the Drover
project, a modified 5-year PAYGO note totaling no more than $1,000,000
has payments twice each year through 2024 (2023 has been paid). Total
remaining obligation on this note is estimated at $200,000, payable in
February and August 2024 at which time the note is satisfied.
Per the 2009 TIF Plan, the EDA is required to pay (from tax increment
generated in the district) Dakota County annually “an amount equal to the
tax that would have been payable to the county on the captured tax
capacity of the district had the district not been created” through 2024. In
2023 that amount was about $326,671. Historically, this payment has
amounted to about 15-17% of total TIF each year.
Fund 40490 pays the principal and interest on a $1.305 million Tax
Increment Bond, which is callable. Just over $400,000 in total principal and
interest payment remains due on this bond through February 2025.
Fund 40490 is responsible for payment numerous special assessments for
EDA/HRA owned properties located in the Concord Street Redevelopment
Project Area. The total of all special assessments due for Fund 40490
includes $103,425 for the just approved Concord Street assessment, in
addition to other assessments of $97,001.76 plus interest. These other
assessments require payment through 2027, but can be prepaid at any time
to Dakota County.
The 2023 – 2027 CIP commits Fund 40490 to the payment of $1,984,400 for
the reconstruction of Concord Exchange (roadway, sidewalk,
streetlights/streetscape, utilities ) in 2024.
o Fund 40490 receives revenue primarily from annual property tax receipts. In 2022,
total tax increments amounted to just under $1.7 million. Tax Increments received
so far in 2023 amount to just over $1.35 million, with the rest of 2nd half settlement
due just before the end of the year ($847K last year).
o Speculatively, Fund 40490 is expected to receive approximately another $2 million
in tax increments between now and decertification 12/31/2024.
o The following table provides a “rough estimate” of the funding picture for Fund
40490:
Concord TIF
Cash $ 3,878,262.00
2015A Call (est.) $ (405,000.00)
DRS Payment (2024) $ (200,000.00)
Dakota Co Payment 2024 (est) $ (350,000.00)
Concord Exchange CIP Item (2024) $ (1,984,400.00)
Special Assessments $ (200,000.00)
Ramaining After Obligations $ 738,862.00
2024 Increment (est) $ 2,000,000.00
Net Funds Available $ 2,738,862.00
A CITY COUNCIL/EDA WORKSESSION AGENDA REPORT
DATE: August 28, 2023 3
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE
Prepared by: Ryan Garcia & Clara Hilger
ADMINISTRATOR: RG
Agenda item: Preliminary 2024 Property Tax Levy and Budget Follow-Up
Desired Meeting Outcomes:
• Discuss refinements in approach to Preliminary 2023 Property Tax Levy and Budget following
Council feedback received at August 14 worksession, as well as updated information from other
government agencies.
• Generate Council consensus around Preliminary 2024 Property Tax Levy and Budget in
anticipation of late-September approval.
Overview:
As discussed at the August 14, 2023 worksession, the City’s management team worked throughout the
summer to prepare a 2024 Budget reflecting the Council’s priorities and the need to maintain of a high
level of public service. As shared on 8/14, these efforts led us to arrive at a preliminary proposed
Property Tax Levy for 2024 of $15,820,370. This represented an increase of $162,600 – 1.04% - over
the Revised 2023 Budget.
Generally speaking, Council’s feedback on the 2024 Levy and Budget as proposed on 8/14 was
positive, with Council’s consensus being that Staff should return on August 28 with final revisions
based upon the discussion that evening. As discussed, the only significant revision anticipated involved
a reduction to charges to departments from the Central Garage Fund by utilizing excess 2022 fund
balance to “cushion” the one-year blow to said budgets in 2024. In addition to this revision, Staff has
also received updated numbers on LGA that result in further changes to the 2024 Levy and Budget.
Attached is an updated Summary of 2024 Property Tax Levy and Budget. The following changes are
notable:
• LGA certified by the State of MN was lower than the estimate from the League, resulting in
$223,139 less than presented in the August 14 materials, to a total of $3,749,065. In spite of this
lower than estimated figure, this results in an LGA increase over 2023 of $894,086, or 31.32%. .
• Fiscal Disparities estimates from Dakota County are now available. South St. Paul’s will reduce
by $57,393. This will not affect the City’s tax levy but will affect the tax rate to the properties.
• General Fund spending reductions related to the Central Garage charges are proposed as
follows:
o A reduction of $65,000 is proposed in the 2024 Police Protection budget. The new
proposed Police Protection Budget shows $8,263,184 in expenditures for 2024.
o A reduction of $110,000 is proposed in the 2024 Public Works (Streets) budget. The new
proposed Public Works (Streets) Budget shows $2,282,487 in expenditures for 2024.
o A reduction of $25,000 is proposed in the 2024 Parks Facilities and Maintenance budget.
The new proposed Parks Facilities and Maintenance Budget shows $1,376,503 in
expenditures for 2024.
In aggregate, the impacts of the above-noted changes since August 14 result in a Proposed 2024 Levy
of $15,843,509. This represents an increase in the levy of $185,739 over the 2023 Levy, or 1.19%.
Total General Fund Expenditures for 2024 are proposed at $21,225,186, which represents an increase of
$2,117,338 over 2023 or an increase of 11.08%.
Staff believes that the Proposed 2024 Property Tax Levy and Budget represent a meaningful and
responsible commitment of City resources towards the City Council’s identified goals, opportunities
and challenges. While every budget year is unique in its own way, the 2024 budget process provided
opportunities to re-focus resources with the elimination of the Library levy and budget, and our
Departments answered the call. We look forward to Council’s feedback on Monday, and look forward
to certifying a preliminary levy and budget at a regular business meeting in September.
