3. UNFINISHED AND NEW B SINESS
A. Discussion on cevelopina TIF policy
The Committee crested two subcommittees to discuss separate topics of the
TIF policy. One sub'et mittees (Johnson; Mitchell; Peters)will discuss"Why
or Why Not TIF?". The other subcommittees (Braun;Ostlund)will discuss
"What level of TIF is appropriate?". The subcommittees will meet outside of
regular meeting times and will bring back information for further discussion.
The Committee will need to meet with the Economic Development
Commission (EDC)to further discuss the policy. Eventually the Committee
should also discuss TCAAP and the impact it will have on the policy. A goal
would be to figure out "What is the City getting out of giving TIF"? Iverson
or Rueb will request information from other cities upon request from
committee members. The Committee would like Jill Hutmacher, Community
Development Director,to attend the November meeting.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 5, 2010
TO: Financial Planning and Analysis Committee
FROM: Sue Iverson, Finance Director/Treasurer
SUBJECT: Meeting agenda
Discussion on Developing a TIF policy
• One of the items on the 2010 work plan was:
To develop a TIF policy as to what maximum percentage of the City should be in a TIF district.
As we have potential projects that may request TIF assistant, the council would like the committee to
explore and start working on this policy. This will ultimately be done with the EDC,but we would like to
start the discussions and explore what information needs to be gathered and develop a "work plan" on
how to begin this task.
Last meeting the committee broke into groups to work on this task. We will continue having discussions
as committee on this project and we will also meet the new Community Development Director, Jill
Hutmacher. Jill comes from the City of Bloomington as the Acting Administrator of the Port Authority.
She also worked in Dakota County and will be able to give the committee insight into the experiences that
she has had with TIF in her former positions.
