ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL August 30, 2010 9 7. C. Resolution 2010 -043: Set Proposed TIF District Public Hearing Date Presbyterian Homes Redevelopment (continued) City Administrator Klaers stated the district can go no longer than 16 years but the relationship between Presbyterian Homes and the library can go longer than that. Councilmember Holden stated if the public is going to be funding the operations of the library then she would like to see a long term commitment from the library to stay in the community. She understood that the TIF request was to cover the operating expenses of the library. City Administrator Klaers clarified the library is working with Presbyterian Homes and will work out a contract with them. The request for TIF is from Presbyterian Homes and their proposed redevelopment project. Mayor Harpstead stated the legal determination for TIF is for a development project.

Mayor Harpstead stated Staff can take that feedback to the Library Board.
