Removal of Real Property from the Concord Street Tax Increment Financing District No. 2, Resolution 2022-12 ii. Removal of Real Property from the Grand Avenue Gateway Tax Increment Financing District, Resolution 2022-13 iii. Approval of a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area, Approval of a Tax Increment Financing Plan and the Establishment of the Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District, a Housing District, Resolution 2022-14 iv. Approval of an Interfund Loan, Resolution 2022-15 OVERVIEW: As the EDA is well-aware, staff has been engaged in serious discussions about developing the parking lots surrounding “The Drover” with that same development team (Master and Simek Realty) since 2018. After navigating the complexities of the redevelopment site on the south side of Grand Avenue and west of Concord Exchange, the development team and EDA are prepared to present numerous items for EDA and City Council consideration at the Monday, October 17 meetings and in November 2022. The EDA entered a preliminary development agreement with the developer in October 2020, and we’ve been working collaboratively since then to undertake due diligence on the site, secure site control, and prepare a formal development plan for this potentially transformative project. These efforts are nearing their conclusion, with an eye on breaking ground by the end of this calendar year on the project. PROPOSED EDA ACTIONS: At the October 17 meeting, the EDA is asked to consider a number of actions that would effectuate the creation of the Vaquero TIF District. Four distinct but related actions are proposed for approval in a single motion, as follows: i. Removal of Real Property from the Concord Street Tax Increment Financing District No. 2, Resolution 2022-12 ii. Removal of Real Property from the Grand Avenue Gateway Tax Increment Financing District, Resolution 2022-13 iii. Approval of a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area, Approval of a Tax Increment Financing Plan and the Establishment of the Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District, Resolution 2022-14 iv. Approval of an Interfund Loan, Resolution 2022-15 Resolution 2022-12 – Removal of Property from the Concord TIF Currently, the Drover is located on an odd- shaped parcel (see left, current boundary outlined in red) which is within the Concord Street Tax Increment Finance District. There is an existing TIF Agreement between the EDA and DRS Investment VI LLC (owner of the Drover) which runs through 12/31/2024. A proposed replat of the publicly and privately owned property in this area will result in the “downsizing” of the Drover’s parcel, leaving a “remnant parcel” that will need to be decertified (removed) from the Concord Street TIF District. This property meets all statutory tests for the EDA to take this action by resolution, which staff recommends. The new “Drover” parcel will remain in the Concord Street TIF (which is set to Decertify 12/31/2024). Resolution 2022-13 – Removal of Property from the Grand Avenue Gateway TIF In addition, all of the EDA/City/HRA-owned property within the development site was included in the Grand Avenue Gateway Tax Increment Finance District in 2020, when that district was created. Instead of trying to “shoehorn” the Vaquero project into that district, Staff and our TIF consultants resolved that establishing a standalone TIF district around the Vaquero project benefits the City by potentially shortening the life of the Grand Ave Gateway district. All property that is proposed for removal from the Grand Avenue Gateway TIF meets all statutory tests for the EDA to take this action by resolution, which staff recommends. Resolution 2022-14 – Creating the TIF District Both the EDA and Council are required to approve the new TIF District, with the City Council holding a public hearing. The following bullet list summarizes key facts about the proposed TIF District: • A boundary map of the District is provided as an attachment, and illustrates that the district tightly adheres to the proposed development site for Vaquero – essentially everything south of Grand, west of Concord exchange, and east/north of “the bluff” MINUS The Drover. • This is a Housing TIF District. Housing TIF Districts are specifically defined by state law. Some of the key provisions to keep in mind in establishing a Housing TIF District: o A minimum proportion of residential units in the district are required to maintain rental rates that are priced to be attainable for residents at specified income levels, specifically EITHER:  20% of the units must be occupied by individuals whose incomes are 50% or less of the Areawide Median Income ($58,650 in 2022; these units would rent at no more than $1,027 for an efficiency in 2022); OR  40% of the units must be occupied by individuals whose incomes are 60% or less of the Areawide Median Income ($70,380 in 2022; these units would rent at no more than $1,232 in 2022).  Income limits are required to apply for the duration of the TIF District. o The District has a maximum life of 25 years. The District can be terminated early if certain conditions are met. • The TIF Plan will specifically define eligible uses of Tax Increment Financing within the district, and assigns estimated costs to each activity. It should be noted, these activities and costs are subject to change/flexibility without amending the project plan. However, total costs (beyond those stated in the plan) cannot exceed the total amount budgeted. The Table below is excerpted from the plan. • As a reminder, fundamentally how TIF works is to “freeze” Tax Capacities within the District at a “base” level (as of the time of District creation), and to divert any increase in those Tax Capacities (due to development that presumably increases value/tax capacity) into a specific EDA fund that is used to pay for the costs of housing development. The underlying taxing jurisdictions continue to receive property tax payments commensurate to the “frozen” tax capacity throughout the life of the District. TIF is not an abatement or direct forgiveness of property tax payments. TIF does not decrease the amount of tax that a taxing jurisdiction collects on a piece of property. TIF is capturing value that would not exist “but for” the creation of the TIF District. • A quick rundown of key Financial Markers in the TIF Plan: o Base Market Value of $501,855 and “base” tax capacity of $6,723. This is what is “frozen” (see above point). o Assumes construction of 170 units, with an average (per unit) value of $160,000. o Assumes annual inflation of 3% to provide “cushion” in the TIF budget and future flexibility to the EDA. The TIF Note to the developer – which will be considered by the EDA at a November meeting - will not be sized with inflation. o “As complete” Market Value of $27,200,000 and tax capacity of $302,600. This is 54x the current calculation Resolution 2022-15 - Approval of an Interfund Loan This Resolution is largely procedural at this point, in that it provides the EDA with the flexibility to borrow against future tax increment for eligible expenses the EDA may incur prior to receiving increment in the district. Land and certain infrastructure costs, soil cleanup and site prep, or TIF administrative costs are the most likely expenses to be incurred in the early phases of the project, although at this point there is no certainty that such expenses will be incurred. FUNDING SOURCES AND OTHER FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed Vaquero Tax Increment Finance District is a Housing TIF District in full accordance with state law. Incremental increase in tax capacity above that amount “frozen” at the time of establishment of the District will be designated to a separate TIF fund to pay for qualified expenses as outlined in the TIF Plan. The City’s General Fund, Dakota County, and the Special School District will continue to receive property tax payments based on the “frozen” tax capacity at the time of district creation. The interfund loan provides that the EDA’s general fund can borrow against future increment revenues in the Grand Avenue Gateway TIF for eligible redevelopment costs.

PAUL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY RESOLUTION NO. 2022-12 A RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR CONCORD STREET TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 2 TO ELIMINATE PARCELS FROM THE DISTRICT BE IT RESOLVED By the South St. Paul Economic Development Authority as follows: Section 1. Recitals. 1.01. In 2009, the South St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City of South St. Paul (the “City”) established the Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area (the “Redevelopment Project”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan (the “Redevelopment Plan”) related thereto and the Concord Street Tax Increment Financing District No .2 (“TIF District No. 2”) and adopted a tax increment financing plan (the “TIF Plan”) for the TIF District. 1.02. On March 15, 2015, the City adopted Resolution No. 2015-27 establishing the South St. Paul Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”). 1.03. On December 21, 2015, the City transferred authority over the Redevelopment Project and the TIF District from the HRA to the EDA and the EDA accepted all obligations and responsibilities related thereto. 1.04. In response to a redevelopment proposal, the EDA has determined to modify the Redevelopment Plan and to establish Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF District”), which includes some of the land currently in TIF District No. 2. 1.05. In order to establish the TIF District, it is necessary to eliminate the parcels to be included in that district from TIF District No. 2. 1.06. Minnesota Statutes, section 469.175, subd. 4(e) allows the EDA to eliminate parcels from TIF District No. 2 without the need for the formal modification to the TIF Plan otherwise required under Minnesota Statutes, section 469.175, subd. 4(b) under specified conditions related to the net tax capacity of the eliminated parcels. 1.07. This modification of the TIF Plan qualifies for the exception under section 469.175, subd. 4(e) because the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated from TIF District No. 2 equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of those parcels in TIF District No. 2’s original net tax capacity.

Recitals. 1.01. In 2009, the South St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the “HRA”) and the City of South St. Paul (the “City”) established the Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area (the “Redevelopment Project”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan (the “Redevelopment Plan”) related thereto. 1.02. In 2015, the City created the South St. Paul Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”). The EDA is the successor to the HRA and now has authority over the Redevelopment Project. 1.03. The EDA’s goals include recognizing the practical impediments to development and redevelopment within the Redevelopment Project and offering public assistance for projects which advance its goals. 1.04. In response to a redevelopment proposal, the EDA authorized the preparation of a modification of the Redevelopment Plan and a tax increment financing plan (the “TIF Plan”) for the Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF District”), which are contained in a document entitled “Modification to the Redevelopment Plan, Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area and Tax Increment Financing Plan, Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District”, dated October 17, 2022 and on file with the EDA. Section 2. Authority Approval. 2.01.

The EDA finds that its objectives of encouraging development and redevelopment within the Redevelopment Project Area will be advanced by adoption of the modified Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan. 2.03. The EDA also finds that the modified Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan are consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan. SU150-10-823380.v2 1 2.04.

The EDA requests that the City hold a public hearing on the modified Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 469.175 and recommends that the modified Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan be approved by the City. 3.02. Upon approval of the modified Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan by the City, the EDA’s Executive Director is authorized and directed to request that the original tax capacity of the parcels within the TIF District be certified to the EDA by Dakota County, following elimination of certain parcels from the EDA’s Concord Street Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 and its Grand Avenue Gateway Tax Increment Financing District. Dated: October 17, 2022 ______________________________ James P. Francis, President ATTEST: _____________________________ Ryan Garcia, Executive Director SU150-10-823380.v2 2 SOUTH ST. PAUL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY RESOLUTION 2022-15 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERFUND LOAN FOR ADVANCE OF CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH VAQUERO TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the South St. Paul Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) as follows: Section 1. Background. 1.01. The EDA has established Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF District”) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”). 1.02. The EDA has or will incur certain costs (the “Preliminary Costs”) related to the TIF District prior to such time as tax increment will be available to pay for such costs. 1.03. Pursuant to Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, the EDA is authorized to advance or loan money from its general fund or any other fund from which such advances may be legally authorized in order to finance the Preliminary Costs. 1.04. The EDA will loan funds from its general fund (the “General Fund”) or any other fund designated by the EDA to finance the Preliminary Costs (the “Interfund Loan”) in accordance with the terms of this resolution. Section 2. Interfund Loan Authorized. 2.01. The EDA hereby authorizes the advance of up to $250,000 from the General Fund or other funds or so much thereof as may be required to pay the Preliminary Costs. The EDA shall reimburse itself for such advances together with interest at the rate stated below. Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 and Section 549.09 as of the date the loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 4.0 percent and will not fluctuate. 2.02. Principal and interest (the “Payments”) on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semiannually on each February 1 and August 1 (each a “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date on which the EDA has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other dates determined by the EDA’s Executive Director, through the date of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District. 2.03. Payments on the Interfund Loan are payable solely from Available Tax Increment, which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other obligations of the SU150-10-823386.v2 TIF District have been paid, or as determined by the EDA’s Executive Director, generated in the preceding six (6) months with respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted to the EDA by Dakota County, Minnesota, all in accordance with the TIF Act. Payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and then to unpaid principal. Payments on the Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds or notes issued by the EDA and secured in whole or in part with tax increment from the TIF District. 2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under the Interfund Loan are prepayable in whole or in part at any time by the EDA without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under the Interfund Loan. 2.05. The Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the EDA in accordance with Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. The Interfund Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the EDA or the city of South St. Paul. Neither the State of Minnesota nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto. The EDA shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date. 2.06. The EDA may at any time make a determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Interfund Loan to the extent permissible under law. 2.07. The EDA may from time to time amend the terms of this resolution to the extent permitted by law, including without limitation amendment to the payment schedule and the interest rate; provided, however, that the interest rate may not be increased above the maximum specified in Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act. 2.08. The EDA officials and consultants are hereby authorized and directed to execute any documents or take any actions necessary or convenient to carry out the intent of this resolution. Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon approval. Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the South St. Paul Economic Development Authority this 17th day of October, 2022. James P.

South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District FOREWORD The South St. Paul Economic Development Authority (the "EDA"), the City of South St. Paul (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the Establishment of the Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District (the "District"), a housing tax increment financing district, located in Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area. STATUTORY AUTHORITY Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."), Sections , inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "TIF Act"), to assist in financing public costs related to this project. This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the District. Other relevant information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The District currently consists of five (5) parcels of land and adjacent roads and internal rights-of-way. The District is being created to facilitate the construction of a 170-unit mixed income residential apartment building in the City. The EDA intends to enter into an agreement with Simek Realty or a development entity or joint venture to be established by Simek Realty. Development is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2023. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Redevelopment Plan for Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area. The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to occur over the life of Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area and the District. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 2 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERVIEW Pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and authorizing state statutes, the EDA or City is authorized to undertake the following activities in the District: 1. Property to be Acquired - The EDA or City currently owns four (4) parcels of property and adjacent roads and internal rights-of- way within the District. The remaining property located within the District may be acquired by the EDA or City and is further described in this TIF Plan. 2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws. 3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary legal requirements, the EDA or City may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer. 4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT AND PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED The District encompasses a portion of parcel numbers 36-72850-06-080 and 36-72850-09-145, as well as all of the remaining property and adjacent roads rights-of-way and abutting roadways identified by the parcels listed below. Parcel number Address Owner 36-72850-06-080 161 Concord Exchange N DRS Investments 36-72850-03-233 Unassigned SSP EDA 36-72850-06-145 Unassigned SSP HRA 36-72850-06-143 Unassigned City of SSP 36-72850-08-022 Unassigned City of SSP Right-of-Way Unassigned City of SSP Note: Parcel numbers 36-72850-03-233, 36-72850-06-145, 36-72850-08-022 to be included in the District will be removed from the Grand Avenue Gateway Tax Increment Financing District, and 36-72850-06-143 and a portion of parcel number 36-72850-06-080 to be included in the District will be removed from the Concord Street No. 2 Tax Increment Financing District prior to establishment of the District. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 3 Please also see the map in Appendix A for further information on the location of the District. Prior to certification of the District, the developer intends to replat the aforementioned parcels into one parcel. The EDA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street rights of way. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the EDA or City only in order to accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public streets, utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan. The EDA or City may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs. The EDA or City currently owns four (4) parcels of the property to be included in the District. DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended, inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a housing district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S., Section 469.1761. $ The District consists of five (5) parcels $ The development will consist of 170 units of multi-family rental housing $ 20% of the units will be occupied by person with incomes less than 50% of area median income $ No more that 20% of the square footage of the building that is receiving assistance from tax increment consists of commercial, retail or other non- residential uses. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 4 DURATION & FIRST YEAR OF DISTRICT’S TAX INCREMENT Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the District will be 26 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City (a total of 26 years of tax increment). The EDA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2025, which is no later than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2050, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to the legally required date. ORIGINAL TAX CAPACITY, TAX RATE & ESTIMATED CAPTURED NET TAX CAPACITY VALUE/INCREMENT & NOTIFICATION OF PRIOR PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2022 for taxes payable 2023. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2025) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of: 1. Change in tax exempt status of property; 2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the District; 3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements; 4. Change in the use of the property and classification; 5. Change in state law governing class rates; or 6. Change in previously issued building permits. In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the EDA or City. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 5 The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2023, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30, 2023. The rates for 2023 were not available at the time the District was established. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear in the table below. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area, upon completion of the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The EDA and City request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity be used for repayment of the obligations of the EDA or City and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2025. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed. Project Tax Capacity Project estimated Tax Capacity upon completion 597,207 Original estimated Net Tax Capacity 6,273 Estimated Captured Tax Capacity 590,934 Pay Original Local Tax Rate 121.2350% 2022 Estimated Annual Tax Increment $716,419 Percent Retained by the City 100% Note: Tax capacity includes a 3% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in this chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 26. The tax capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $75,650. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued. The City is reviewing the area to be included in the District to determine if any building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 6 SOURCES OF REVENUE/BONDS TO BE ISSUED The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below: SOURCES Tax Increment $12,752,639 Interest 1,275,264 TOTAL $14,027,903 The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax increments. The EDA or City reserves the right to issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) or incur other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by pay-as-you-go notes and interfund loans. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal modification to this TIF Plan. This provision does not obligate the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The EDA or City may issue bonds secured in whole or in part with tax increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $9,889,334. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval. USES OF FUNDS Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the construction of a 170-unit mixed income residential apartment building. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s) for certain District costs, as described herein. The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the following table. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 7 USES Land/Building Acquisition $ 2,000,000 Site Improvements/Preparation 500,000 Affordable Housing 5,000,000 Utilities 500,000 Other Qualifying Improvements 614,069 Administrative Costs (up to 10%) 1,275,265 PROJECT COSTS TOTAL $ 9,889,334 Interest 4,138,569 PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $14,027,903 The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as shown in the Sources of Revenue section. Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification to the TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. The EDA may expend funds for qualified housing activities outside of the District boundaries. FISCAL DISPARITIES ELECTION Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal disparities. The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b (inside). ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met: South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 8 Impact on Tax Base Estimated 2021/Pay Captured Tax Entity 2022 Total Capacity Percent of Net Tax (CTC) upon CTC to Entity Capacity completion Total Dakota County 592,845,544 590,934 0.0997% City of South St. Paul 17,812,118 590,934 3.3176% School District No. 6 17,680,884 590,934 3.3422% (South St. Paul Public Schools) Impact on Tax Rates Pay 2022 Entity Extension Percent of Potential Rate Total CTC Taxes Dakota County 19.5460% 16.12% 590,934 $115,504 City of South St. Paul 64.4110% 53.13% 590,934 380,627 School District No. 6 29.1160% 24.02% 590,934 172,056 (South St. Paul Public Schools) Other 8.1620% 6.73% 590,934 48,232 121.2350% 100.00% $716,419 The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2022 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on Pay 2022 figures. The District will be certified under the Pay 2023 rates, which were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b): (1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is $12,752,639; (2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. An impact of the District on police protection is expected. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for service will be increased. New developments add an increase in traffic, and additional overall demands to the call load. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 9 The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new buildings generate few calls, if any. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities. The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is not expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. The probable impact of the issuance of any general obligation tax increment bonds payable from tax increment revenues from the District on the City’s ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit. (3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $3,062,695; (4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $2,056,032; (5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional information pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan. No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposed development for the District have been received. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District 10 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 this TIF Plan must contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the District. (i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1) written representation made by the Developer to such effects, (2) review of the Developer’s proforma; and (3) City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site within the District, which is further outlined in the City Council resolution approving the establishment of the District and Appendix C. (ii) A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and without establishment of the District and the use of tax increments has been performed. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in Appendix B and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the District and the use of tax increments. DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION Administration of the District will be handled by the Executive Director.

Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows: 1. Finding that Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District is a housing district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11. Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District consists of five (5) parcels. The development will consist of the construction of a 170-unit mixed income residential apartment building, all or a portion of which will receive tax increment assistance and will meet income restrictions described in M.S. Section 469.1761. At least 20% of the units receiving assistance will be occupied by individuals and families whose incomes are at or below 50% of area median income. 2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future. The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact that the development proposed in the TIF Plan is a housing district that meets the City's objectives for development and redevelopment. The cost of land acquisition, site and public improvements and utilities makes this housing development infeasible without City assistance. Due to decreased rental income from affordable units, there is insufficient cash flow to provide a sufficient rate of return, pay operating expenses, and service the debt. This leaves a gap in the funding for the project and makes this housing development feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The Developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as justification that the Developer would not have gone forward without tax increment assistance. South St. Paul Economic Development Authority Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that the cost of land acquisition, site and public improvements, utilities and construction of affordable housing add to the total development cost. Historically, the costs of site and public improvements as well as reduced rents required for affordable workforce housing in the City have made development infeasible without tax increment assistance. The City reasonably determines that no other development of similar scope is anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development. 3. Finding that the TIF Plan for Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The City Council reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City. 4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Vaquero Tax Increment Financing District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of Concord Street Redevelopment Project Area by private enterprise. Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the City will provide an impetus for residential development, which is desirable or necessary for increased population and an increased need for life-cycle housing within the City. The TIF Plan also helps the EDA or City meet their goal of providing more affordable housing options in the City.
