Policy No. 1.136
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS POLICY
I. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR POLICY
This policy provides the criteria that all business assistance shall be
evaluated against. The criteria included in this policy applies to all potential
business assistance recipients. In addition to this policy, all business assistance
will be subject to the requirements of Minnesota (MN) Statutes.
II. POLICY
A. All business assistance shall be subject to the requirements of MN
Statutes governing business assistance and every application
shall be evaluated according to the criteria included in this
Development Tools Policy, which shall apply to all potential
recipients. Wherever the term business assistance is used in this
policy, its definition shall be that as defined as business subsidy in
MN Statutes.
B. All business assistance must meet a public purpose, which may
include, but not be limited to, increasing the tax base. The City of
Burnsville (City) and Burnsville Economic Development Authority
(Authority) shall consider various public purposes including but
not limited to creation or retention of jobs, elimination of blight,
neighborhood revitalization, and other development and
redevelopment goals established by the City.
C. Except as described in D and E, business assistance must result in
wage increase or the creation or retention of jobs, which will pay
at least 150-percent of the federally imposed minimum hourly
wage, exclusive of benefits, with the wage goals specifically set
forth in the business assistance agreement. The wage goals will
be determined as a weighted average on new jobs created as
defined in the City of Burnsville Fundability Guidelines for
Financial Assistance Form.
D. Wage increase or job creation or retention is not required for
businesses assistance as long as the grantor identifies an
alternate public purpose in addition to tax base increase. If after
a public hearing, the increase in wages or creation or retention of
jobs is determined not to be a goal, the wage and job goals may
be set at zero.
E. In lieu of job creation or retention, other measurable, specific,
and tangible goals shall be established. Examples of tangible
goals may include redevelopment, or pollution or soil remediation.
F. If wage increase or job creation or retention is identified as the
public purpose, goals must be established for wage increase or
the number of jobs created; in cases where job loss is specific and
demonstrable, goals must be established for number of jobs
retained. As set forth in the business assistance agreement, wage

10/14/26, 11:55 AM1.136 - Business Subsidy Policy - 1.137 (TIF) - 1.138 (Tax Abat.) 2018
increase or job creation or retention (based on wage floor set
forth in the agreement) shall be attained within two years of the
benefit date.
G. The Authority, as authorized by the City, shall hold a public
hearing after notice is published in the local newspaper, for all
requests for business assistance of $100,000 or more. The
Authority must hold a public hearing for any assistance under
$100,000 that do not include job and wage goals.
H. The business assistance agreement must stipulate that the
recipient will continue operations at the site where the assistance
is used for at least five years after the benefit date.
I. Any development agreement or contract for public assistance as
defined in MN Statutes shall contain, at a minimum, the following
provisions:
1. Description of the assistance including the amount and type
of assistance
2. Identification of the specific tax increment financing
district, if tax increment financing assistance is to be
provided
3. Statement of public purposes for the assistance in addition
to tax base increase
4. Identification of measurable, specific, and tangible goals for
the assistance
5. Description of the financial obligation of the recipient if the
goals are not met
6. Statement of why the assistance is needed
7. Statement of commitment to continue operations for at
least five years in the jurisdiction where the assistance is
used - the five year commitment may be waived if the
grantor, after a public hearing, approves the recipient's
request to move
8. Identification of the name and address of the parent
corporation of the recipient
9. Identification of all financial assistance by all grantors for
the project; and
reporting requirements
10. Identification of specific wage floor for the wages to be
paid, if job creation or retention is a goal, of at least the
minimum set forth in Item C of this policy, and for at least
two years after the benefit date or until the goals are met,
whichever is later
J. When granting business assistance, the City or the Authority may
deviate from the criteria in this Policy by documenting in writing
the reason for the deviation and filing that explanation with the
Department of Employment and Economic Development along
with the grantorÓs next annual report on business subsidies. The
City or the Authority will not approve a deviation from these
criteria unless the applicant provides a written request describing
why the deviation is needed to permit the proposed project to
proceed, and the grantor determines in its sole discretion that
such deviation is reasonable and necessary.
K. Each business assistance agreement will require a recipient failing
to meet the specified goals by the specified date to pay back the
assistance plus interest, or at the request of the City or the
Authority, to the account created under MN Statutes, Section
38
https://burnsville.civicweb.net/document/6023/2/23
10/14/26, 11:55 AM1.136 - Business Subsidy Policy - 1.137 (TIF) - 1.138 (Tax Abat.) 2018
116J.551. Any repayment shall be prorated to reflect partial
fulfillment of goals. The interest rate shall be set at no less than
the implicit deflator as defined by MN Statutes, Section 116J.994,
Subdivision 6. The City or the Authority may after a public
hearing, extend the period for meeting job and wage goals for up
to one year. The City or the Authority may extend the period for
meeting any other goals for any period specified by the City or the
Authority, by documenting in writing the reason for the extension
and filing that explanation with the Department of Employment
and Economic Development along with the grantorÓs next annual
report on business subsidies.
L. The City and the Authority reserve the right to modify this Policy,
from time to time in accordance with MN Statutes.
M. The following supplemental policies are attached hereto and made
part of the Development Tools Policy:
- Attachment 1: Tax Increment Financing Policy (Policy No. 1.137)
- Attachment 2: Tax Abatement Policy (Policy No. 1.138)
III. PROCEDURE
To the extent that a business assistance request requires tax increment
financing, it must meet this Development Tools Policy and the Tax Increment
Financing Policy. To the extent that a business assistance request requires tax
abatement assistance, it must meet this Development Tools Policy and the Tax
Abatement Policy. Any other business subsidy must meet this Development
Tools Policy.
IV. RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY
The responsibility and authority for the City and the Authority to adopt a
Development Tools Policy is established by MN Statutes 116J.993-995, which
sets requirements for subsidies allocated to businesses by state or local
government agencies. Administrative implementation of this policy shall be the
responsibility of the City Manager.

10/14/26, 11:55 AM1.136 - Business Subsidy Policy - 1.137 (TIF) - 1.138 (Tax Abat.) 2018
This policy is to serve as a guideline for the use of tax increment financing
(TIF) within all previously adopted and current TIF Districts as well as the
creation of new tax increment districts.
II. POLICY
General Policy Background
The City of Burnsville (City) and Burnsville Economic Development
Authority (Authority) recognize that local government plays a critical role in
enhancing the vitality of our community. This is particularly true as the city
reaches full development.
All reasonable means shall be utilized to leverage private business
development and redevelopment in the city consistent with this and other
policies. Tax increment financing is an important and useful tool in attracting
and retaining businesses.
The fundamental principle that makes tax increment financing viable is
that it is designed to encourage development that would not otherwise occur.
The Authority, as authorized by the City, shall be responsible to determine that
(1) a project would not occur Ðbut forÑ the assistance provided through tax
increment financing; and (2) no other development would occur on the relevant
site without tax increment assistance, that could create a larger market value
increase than the increase expected from the proposed development (after
adjusting for the value of the tax increment).
The Authority shall consider tax increment financing in cases that serve to
accomplish targeted city goals for development and redevelopment as they may
change over time. These goals include, but are not limited to projects that will
(1) foster and support redevelopment; (2) result in the creation or retention of a
significant number of jobs that pay wages adequate to support households; or
(3) projects that will assist with the retention and expansion of businesses, and
projects that will expand the cityÓs tax base.

The Authority shall consider the creation of any of the general types of
TIF Districts allowed by MN Statutes or the creation of other types of TIF Districts
allowed by Special Legislation, when doing so is consistent with the development
and redevelopment goals of the City.
TIF Districts are the specific parcels within a Project Area from which tax
increment is captured. MN Statutes currently defines five general types of TIF
Districts, which the Authority shall consider:
1) Redevelopment District
2) Renewal and Renovation District
3) Soils Condition District
4) Housing District
5) Economic Development District
In addition to these five general types of TIF Districts, defined by MN
Statutes, the Authority may also consider the creation of TIF Districts as
authorized by applicable special tax increment financing legislation.
Tax increment financing is a business subsidy under MN Statutes and is
governed by strict legal requirements. Therefore, the City and the Authority

shall maintain current Business Subsidy Policies, as required by MN Statutes.
As granted by the City Council, the Authority shall have control and
authority over the creation and operation of TIF Districts for the City. The
Authority shall consider the creation of a TIF District based on qualifications and
term restrictions, as defined in MN Statutes. The Authority shall consider a
range of attributes including but not limited to the following:
Projects consistent with development and redevelopment goals of the city
Development of office, office/corporate headquarters,
office/service/warehouse and manufacturing
Maximized use of other financial resources
Projects that provide funding for appropriate public improvements that
may benefit numerous development projects
Low percentage of public investment; high percentage of private
investment
Analysis of detailed business pro forma with reasonable timeline for
completion and occupancy
Project has potential to enhance spin-off development and redevelopment
Exceeds minimum design standards per Ordinance
Presents minimal risk to the City of Burnsville
Maximizes increased tax base and contributes to higher market values
Number of jobs and pay level of positions will be a consideration but not a
requirement if other appropriate public purpose(s) is met

Applications for tax increment financing for a project within a current TIF
Districts shall be considered for approval provided the current TIF District is
generating sufficient tax increment revenue to retire bonds supported by tax
increment revenue within the TIF District.
Costs Eligible for Tax Increment Financing Assistance
The Authority shall consider the use of tax increment financing to cover
project costs as allowed for under MN Statutes. The types of project costs that
are eligible for tax increment financing are as follows:
Utilities designSite related permits
Earthwork/excavationSoils correction
Architectural and engineering feesUtilities (sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
directly attributable to site workand water, fiber to the premise)

This list of eligible costs is subject to acceptance by the Authority and
changes in MN Statutes.
Determination of Amount of Assistance
Whether in a new or existing TIF District, the amount of tax increment
financing provided to an applicant shall be based on a review of the following:
Request for Financial Assistance Form (Attachment A)
Review of Applicants Pro Forma
Amount of Increment Generated by the Project
Fundability Guidelines for Financial Assistance Form (Attachment C)
Depending on the public purpose to be met the Fundability Guidelines for
Financial Assistance Form may weigh more or less in the review of the
application.
The level of assistance shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and
may reflect an increase or decrease in requested financial assistance. When
considering a request for tax increment financing for a project, there shall be
consideration of the level of financial assistance provided for other previously
approved projects in the TIF District or Project Area.
Forms of Assistance
Tax increment financing shall generally be provided on a Ðpay-as-you-goÑ
basis wherein the Authority compensates the applicant for a predetermined
amount for a stated number of years. The Authority shall have the option to
issue a TIF Note with or without interest, where the principal amount of the TIF
Note is equal to the amount of eligible project costs incurred and proven by the
developer. In all cases, semi-annual TIF payments shall be based on available
increment generated from the project. TIF payments shall be made after
collection of property taxes.
Another form of assistance that shall be considered only in extraordinary
circumstances is an Ðup-front paymentÑ to the applicant. This may be in the
form of a revenue or general obligation bond or an internal loan. (The City
would consider revenue bond financing where the terms of the financing are
satisfactory to the Authority and City.) The tax increment generated from the
applicantÓs project is a source of revenue for repayment of the bonds or loan.
This form of assistance is not one the Authority or City will generally consider
because under this form of assistance the taxpayers assume the risk that the tax
increment will be sufficient for repayment of the bonds or interfund loan.

1. Fiscal Disparities
TIF Districts shall not be exempt from the contribution of fiscal
disparities. The percentage of revenues required from the project within the TIF
District shall be the responsibility of properties within the district unless there is
a compelling economic development reason for the City and the Authority to
exempt a property or properties within a TIF District from the contribution of
fiscal disparities. Any exemption to this policy will be considered on a case by
case basis. An exemption may not be possible if MN Statutes requires that fiscal
disparities be paid from within a TIF District, as is the case with Economic
Development Districts.
2. School District Funding
Annual requests from Independent School District 191 to release excess
tax collections from TIF Districts 1 and 2 (Southcross) resulting from the
application of school district referenda tax rates to the captured value in TIF
Districts shall be evaluated on a case by case basis. It shall be the general policy
of the City and the Authority to honor these requests provided there is sufficient
positive cash flow in the Authority reserve fund (that is applicable) in excess of
those amounts necessary to meet development contractual obligations within the
various TIF Districts and Project Area.
III. PROCEDURES
The Authority will require a fee per city fee schedule from the applicant to
investigate the feasibility of providing assistance to the applicant. If the
Authority incurs additional expense beyond the fee prior to execution of the
DeveloperÓs Agreement, the Authority shall notify the applicant in writing and the
applicant must deposit additional funds for work on the application to continue.
If the project is approved and the applicant proceeds with the project, the
applicantÓs deposit may be reimbursed as an eligible project cost to the extent
permissible under MN Statutes.
In addition to the fee, the applicant must submit the following forms and
documentation at time of application for the application to be complete and
review of the application to begin:
1. Request for Tax Increment Financing Form (Attachment A)
2. Project Pro Forma Documentation (Developed by Applicant)
3. Fundability Guidelines for Financial Assistance Form

As required by MN Statutes, the City Council must be the governing body
to hold the public hearing and make the findings of fact for creation of a TIF
District.
IV. APPENDICES
The City and the Authority shall add Appendices to this Policy to provide
targeted policy guidance concerning the creation of future TIF Districts for a
targeted development or redevelopment purpose. An Appendix shall be added,
modified, or deleted from time to time based on actions of the City and the
Authority.

TAX ABATEMENT POLICY
I. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR POLICY
This policy is to serve as a guideline for the use of tax abatement as a
financing tool for projects within the City of Burnsville.
II. POLICY
General Policy Background
The City of Burnsville (City) and Burnsville Economic Development
Authority (Authority) recognize that local government plays a critical role in
enhancing the vitality of our community. This is particularly true as the city
reaches full development. It is the stated goal of the City and the Authority that
all reasonable means shall be utilized to leverage private development and
redevelopment in the city consistent with the policies described below and the
City CouncilÓs Ends and Outcomes.
Under Minnesota (MN) Statutes, the City Council is the governing body
that must act to approve all tax abatement assistance. It is the policy of the City
44
https://burnsville.civicweb.net/document/6023/8/23
10/14/26, 11:55 AM1.136 - Business Subsidy Policy - 1.137 (TIF) - 1.138 (Tax Abat.) 2018
Council, that for most projects, the Authority shall be asked to make
recommendation to the City Council regarding tax abatement assistance.
The tax abatement tool provides the ability to capture and use all or a
portion of the property tax revenues within a defined geographic area. In
practice, it is a tax ÐrebateÑ rather than an exemption from paying property
taxes. Tax abatement is an important economic development tool that when
used appropriately can be useful to accomplish the cityÓs development and
redevelopment goals and objectives. Requests for tax abatement must serve to
accomplish the cityÓs targeted goals for development and redevelopment. These
goals include, but are not limited to projects that will result in the creation or
retention of a significant number of jobs that pay wages adequate to support
households, projects that will assist with the retention and expansion of
businesses, bring technology (fiber to the premise) as part of redevelopment and
projects that will expand the cityÓs tax base. Projects must meet the
requirements established by the Business Subsidy Policy of the City and the
Authority, to the extent it is applicable, in order to receive abatement.
Projects Eligible for Tax Abatement Assistance
Projects eligible for consideration of property tax abatement include but
are not limited to the following:
Mixed use projects including new and redevelopment projects
Commercial and industrial redevelopment projects
Commercial and industrial new developments
Residential business properties (with some restrictions as defined in
this policy)
Tax Abatement Objectives
A. A property tax abatement must meet at least one of the following
public purposes:
1. Increase or preserve the tax base
2. Provide employment opportunities in the City of Burnsville
3. Provide or help acquire or construct public facilities
4. Help redevelop or renew blighted areas
5. Help provide access to services for residents of Burnsville
6. Finance or provide public infrastructure
B. Projects that include fiber to the premise are deemed to be
fulfilling an overall objective of the city to have sites with the best
technology available.
C. The developer/landowner shall be able to demonstrate a market
demand for a proposed project.
D. Tax abatement shall not be used for projects that would place
extraordinary demands on city services or for projects that would
generate significant environmental impacts.
E. Because it is not possible to anticipate every type of project,
which may in its context and time present desirable community
building, development, or redevelopment goals and objectives,
the City of Burnsville retains the right in its discretion to approve

projects and tax abatements that may vary from the principles
and criteria of this policy.
Determination of Amount of Assistance
Tax abatement assistance available shall generally be limited to the
incremental taxes generated on the improvements to the property. The City and
the Authority may consider a greater level of financial assistance, up to the
maximum allowed under MN Statutes, in limited circumstances. The level of
assistance will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may reflect an increase
or decrease in requested financial assistance from the applicant.
The amount of tax abatement assistance provided to an applicant shall be
based on a review of the following:
Request for Financial Assistance Form (Attachment A)
Review of Applicants Pro Forma
Amount of Increment (Property Tax Revenue) Generated by the
Project
Fundability Guidelines for Financial Assistance Form (Attachment C)
In any year, the total amount of property taxes abated (citywide) may not
exceed (1) ten percent of the - net tax capacity for the taxes payable year to
which the abatement applies, or (2) $200,000, whichever is greater, provided
that these limitations are imposed by Minnesota Statues Section 469.1813, subd.
8, and if such limitations are increased by any future legislation, the City may
approve abatements up to the maximum amount permitted by law at the time
the abatement is approved. The limit does not apply to an uncollected
abatement from a prior year that is added to the abatement levy.
The developer/landowner must adequately demonstrate, to the CityÓs sole
satisfaction, an ability to complete the proposed project based on past
development experience, general reputation, and credit history, among other
factors, including the size and scope of the proposed project. The
developer/landowner must provide adequate financial guarantees to ensure
completion of the project, including, but not limited to: assessment agreements
and letters of credit.
Forms of Assistance
Tax abatement shall generally be provided on a Ðpay-as-you-goÑ basis
wherein the City compensates the applicant for a predetermined amount for
stated number of years. In all cases, semi-annual abatement payments are
based on available (as approved by agreement) tax revenue from the property
and issued to the applicant after payment of property taxes by the applicant.
Another form of assistance that shall be considered only in extraordinary
circumstances is an Ðup-front paymentÑ to the applicant. This may be in the
form of a revenue or general obligation bond or an internal loan. (The City
would consider revenue bond financing where the terms of the financing are
satisfactory to the City.) The tax abatement generated from the applicantÓs
project is a source of revenue for repayment of the bonds or loan. This form of
assistance is not one the City will generally consider because under this form of
assistance the taxpayers assume the risk that the tax increment will be sufficient
for repayment of the bonds or the interfund loan.

Duration and Restrictions
A. The City may grant an abatement for a period no longer than 15
years, except as provided under (B). The City may specify in the
abatement resolution a shorter duration.
B. The City, when proposing to abate taxes for a parcel, may make a
written request to Dakota County or a school district in which a
parcel is located to grant an abatement of county or school taxes for
the property. If one of the other political subdivisions declines, in
writing, to grant an abatement or if 90 days pass after receipt of the
request to grant an abatement without a written response from one
of the political subdivisions, the duration limit for an abatement for
the parcel may be increased to 20 years.
C. The City may not enter into a property tax abatement agreement that
provides for abatement of taxes on a parcel, if the abatement will
occur while the parcel is located in a tax increment financing district.
D. Tax Abatement consideration for residential business properties:
Tax abatement requests shall be considered for redevelopment of residential
business properties or redevelopment of an aging retail strip center that
includes a residential component. In no other case shall tax abatement be
considered for new residential property (property that does not presently
exist).
If a request for abatement includes redevelopment of residential property,
consideration shall be given to the following:
Redevelopment of rental housing that is over 25 years old
Mixed use development that includes housing (must be owner
occupied)
No less than an 80 / 20, Private-Public match for total reinvestment,
compared with the total cost of all local tax abatement. (Private
sources represent any non-local government source; not including
federally approved affordable housing tax credits.)
The case made for the overall public purpose/benefit
Justification for why the project cannot proceed without public
assistance via tax abatement
Preserves or enhances the quality, aesthetics and management of
workforce/ affordable housing in the community
Projects that are approved for abatement by another local taxing
jurisdiction (i.e., Dakota County or a local school district)
III. PROCEDURE
The City shall require a fee per the city fee schedule from the applicant to
investigate the feasibility of providing assistance to the applicant. If the City

deposit additional funds for work on the application to continue.

centers. These policy statements are included in this Appendix for reference.
I. GENERAL POLICY GUIDELINES
Creation of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts
The City of Burnsville (City) and Burnsville Economic Development
Authority (Authority) shall consider the creation of a TIF District for the purpose
of redeveloping an aging retail strip center. Projects eligible for the creation of a
TIF District shall have attributes that are consistent with those identified in the
Development Tools and Tax Increment Financing Policy.
Use of Tax Abatement Financing
The City shall consider the abatement of incremental property taxes for
the purpose of redeveloping an aging retail strip center. Projects eligible for
abatement of incremental property taxes shall have attributes that are consistent
with those identified in the Development Tools and Tax Abatement Policy.
Land/Lease Acquisition
In limited circumstances, the City or the Authority may consider the
acquisition of an aging retail strip center property/and or leases for the purpose
of redevelopment when an owner approaches the City or the Authority
requesting this consideration. This would require a funding source and site-
specific plan and/or objective. The acquisition for this purpose shall occur
through negotiated terms and not through eminent domain.
The City and the Authority shall bring private developers and property
owners together to facilitate the consideration of redevelopment of an aging
retail strip center when doing so would be consistent with City and the Authority
development and redevelopment policies. Facilitation shall involve education of
the CityÓs policies, including possible financial assistance options.
Specific Land Uses
The City and the Authority shall consider applications for tax increment
financing or tax abatement for redevelopment of an aging retail strip center into
a mixed-use project, even if the project shall result in increased density.
The City and the Authority shall consider applications for tax increment
financing or tax abatement for redevelopment of an aging retail strip center
where the project will not change the intensity or type of use of the property
after the improvements (e.g., façade or site improvements of existing buildings
or building tear downs for rebuilds Î commercial to commercial).
The City and the Authority shall consider as part of an application for tax
increment financing or tax abatement assistance to redevelop an aging retail
strip center suggestions by the applicant for possible relief from existing City
Ordinances to assist in the financial feasibility of the project. Specific requests

Last Amended: April 20, 2015
Business Subsidy Policy
&®± ³§¤ ¯´±¯®²¤² ®¥ ³§¨² £®¢´¬¤³Ǿ ³§¤ ³¤±¬ ȏ¢¨³¸Ȑ ¨¢«´£¤² ³§¤ & ±¬¨¦³® #¨³¸ #®´¢¨«Ǿ ³§¤
Farmington Economic Development Authority (EDA), city staff, financial consultant, and legal counsel.
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Farmington Business Subsidy Policy is to establish criteria for the granting of
business subsidies, including financial assistance, through Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Tax
Abatement, or other programs that may become available through the city or the Minnesota
Department of Employment & Economic Development (DEED).
This policy will be used as criteria for providing subsidies, in addition to the requirements and
limitations set forth by provision of Minnesota Statutes Section 116J.993 through 116J.995, as
amended, the Business Subsidy Act (the act). Any applicant who is not in good standing with the city
regarding licenses, fees, code violations, or other city issues will not be considered for a business
subsidy.
The criteria set forth in this Business Subsidy Policy shall be used as a guide in processing and
reviewing the application and will be used in conjunction with other relevant policies of the city. The
city reserves the right to approve or reject projects on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration
current polices, project criteria, and demand on city services or infrastructure in relation to the
potential benefits from the project. Meeting this policy criteria does not guarantee the award of
business assistance for the project. Approval or denial of one project is not intended to set precedent
for approval or denial of another project.
The City may amend this policy at any time. Amendments are subject to public hearing requirements
contained in the act. The city also has the right to deviate from this policy at any time.
II. TYPES OF BUSINESS SUBSIDY
A Business Subsidy, as further defined herein and in the Act shall include, but not be limited to one of
the following types of subsidies provided by the City and/or DEED:
1. Loan
2. Grant
City of Farmington, MN

3. Tax Abatement
4. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) or other tax reduction or deferral
5. Guarantee of payment
6. Contribution of property or infrastructure
7. Preferential use of governmental facilities
8. Land contribution, or
9. Another specified subsidy
III. BUSINESS SUBSIDY CRITERIA
The following criteria will be utilized in evaluating a request for a business subsidy.
1. Public Purpose. A business subsidy must be used to meet a public purpose. The public purpose
may include, but may not be limited to, increasing the tax base. Job retention may only be used
as a public purpose in cases where job loss is specific and demonstrable.
2. Increase Tax Base. The act provides that an increase in tax base cannot be the sole basis for
generating a business subsidy. However, the city considers an increase in tax base to be a
critical factor in granting a business subsidy.
3. Wage & Job Creation. The project provided a business subsidy must create a minimum of ten
full-time equivalent job paying at least 200% of the State minimum wage in effect at the time
the subsidy is granted. If, after a public hearing, the city determines that the creation or
retention of jobs not a goal of the project, the job creation goal may be set at zero (0). The
maximum assistance provided per job created or maintained will be $25,000/job.
4. "But-For" Test. When there is a substantial likelihood that the project would not go forward or
would not go forward in the same capacity without the business subsidy. This criterion may
be met based solely on representation of the recipient of the business subsidy.
5. Other Economic or Redevelopment Goals. If creation of jobs is determined not to be a goal of a
project (and by extension wages) the proposed business subsidy must achieve specific,
tangible, and measurable goals related to one or more of the following:
a) To encourage additional unsubsidized private development in the area, either

b) To remove blight and/or encourage development of commercial and industrial areas
in the city that result in higher quality development and private investment.
c) To support a project that will improve the quality of life in the city by providing a
desirable good or service and addressing an unmet demand in the community.
d) To promote revitalization and redevelopment within the city but especially in the
Downtown and HWY 3 Corridor.

number of jobs created.
In granting a business subsidy, the city may deviate from the criteria outlined above if:
a) The reason for the deviation is documented in writing, and
b) Reported to the DEED pursuant to the act.
IV. APPLICATION PROCESS
The applicant will complete and submit the city's Business Subsidy Application, the required
application fee (refer to the current year's adopted fee schedule), and any additional information
requested by the city pertaining to the project. The application fee covers the cost of the city's outside
financial analysis and the development of a business subsidy agreement by legal counsel. The
applicant will be liable for any additional costs beyond the initial application fee. All materials
submitted to the city in connection with a business subsidy application shall become the property of
the city and is subject to data privacy law. The review process shall involve at least the following:
1. The city shall review the application materials to ensure:
a. The completeness of the application, and
b. Whether the application meets the goals and criteria of this policy.
2. If the city determines the application is complete, a public hearing will be set.
3. At the time of the scheduled public hearing, staff will make a final recommendation to the city
regarding the approval or denial of the business subsidy application. This recommendation
will be based on:
a. Applicable credit analysis.
b. Financial structure of the proposed project/application.
c. Legal compliance of the project/application.
4. The city will conduct the public hearing, during which they will take citizen comment on the
issuance of the business subsidy. After the public hearing is closed, the city will either approve
or deny the business subsidy request. If the subsidy is approved, the business and the city will
enter into a Business Subsidy Agreement.
V. BUSINESS SUBSIDY AGREEMENT
The following terms are specified under MN Statute 116J.994, Subd.3 Subsidy Agreement:
1. A recipient must enter into a subsidy agreement with the grantor of the subsidy that
includes:
a. A description of the subsidy, including the amount and type of subsidy, and type of

other in-kind benefits to the recipient.
3. If a business subsidy benefits more than one recipient, the grantor must assign a proportion
of the business subsidy to each recipient that signs a subsidy agreement. The proportion
