Presbyterian Homes Tax Increment Financing Discussion
Discussion Topic:
Consideration of terms for a proposed Presbyterian Homes Tax Increment Financing District,
Supoorting Documents:
1. Memorandum dated December 6,2010 from Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers &Associates.
2. Term Sheet
Memo
To: Pat Klaers—City Administrator
From: Stacie Kvilvang
Date: December 6,2010 -
Subject: Term Sheet--Presbyterian Homes Redevelopment
On October 18, 2010, the Council met with Presbyterian Homes to discuss the project and to provide
guidance on key terms for inclusion in the Development Agreement. Guidance was given on the
following key items:
1. Shorter term for the district(not full sixteen years)
2. Conveyance of the"triangle"parcel to the City with buildings demolished 7
3. Developer payment and completion of improvements to County Road D and the sanitary
sewer lines along the Lake
Based upon guidance from the Council we have incorporated the above three (3) items into the
attached term sheet for review and consideration (along with the other major terms for the
development agreement). Please note that for item#1, the term for payment on the obligation will be
twelve (12) years.
As noted, Presbyterian Homes will receive a TIF note in the principle amount of$1,115,000. This
will be paid on a pay-as-you-go basis after they have proved up qualified expenditures for this
amount(note will bear an interest rate of 6.25%).
As noted on the term sheet, the City is only utilizing ten (10) percent of the increment generated for
administrative and pooling purposes, with the remaining ninety (90) percent going to reimburse
Presbyterian Homes for qualified costs. This equates to approximately $207,000 over the term of the
obligation and $17,000 annually being available to the City for administrative or pooling uses.
When a TIF district is established the City has the ability to utilize up to ten (10) percent of the
increment generated for administrative costs. In addition TIF districts can utilize up to an additional
ten (10) to fifteen (15) percent for pooling outside of the TIF district for qualified costs that meet the
requirements of the TIF district from which you are pooling funds from. What this means is that a
City can utilize up to twenty-five (25) percent of the TIF generated from a district for administrative
and pooling purposes.
For renewal and renovation districts, this legal administrative and pooling amount is twenty (20)
percent. Based upon the proposed redevelopment by Presbyterian Homes, the maximum amount the
City could utilize for this purpose is approximately $414,000 ($34,000 annually).

In discussions with Presbyterian Homes, they are open to allowing the City to take the maximum
administrative and pooling amount, as long as they can receive ninety (90) percent for the first five
(5) years. To achieve the maximum amount (20%), starting in year six (6) the amount available to
the City would increase to twenty-five (25) percent. This would leave seventy-five (75) percent
available to reimburse Presbyterian Homes for qualified cost.
If the City would choose to move forward with this approach, it would extend the term of the
obligation from twelve (12) years to fourteen (14) years. However, it should be noted that the _
principal amount of the TIF Note will stay the same but would be paid over a longer period of time
since the percentage of TIF they receive on an annual basis is reduced from 90%to 75%.
