Consider University of Northwestern Agreements <br /> City Manager Patrick Trudgeon briefly reviewed his recommendation for the City <br /> to enter into a PILOT Agreement and Charitable Pledge Agreement with the Uni- <br /> versity of Northwestern-St. Paul, as detailed in the RCA dated June 9, 2014. Mr. <br /> Trudgeon expressed appreciation to Northwestern staff for their voluntary will- <br /> ingness to these agreements; opining that it initiated a framework for the City to <br /> start a new relationship with Northwestern. <br /> Public Comment <br /> Tim Callaghan <br /> In this case, Mr. Callaghan advised that he didn't have a big objection, but ques- <br /> tioned rationale in not applying the funds toward the TIF District to help pay it off <br /> versus the proposed use for economic development efforts. <br /> City Manager Trudgeon responded that the TIF District was set to expire in 2018, <br /> and all obligations of the District had already been met with no bonds remaining <br /> to be paid off, with the District proposed for decertification sooner than later; and <br /> the TIF District involved an area larger than that of the hotel location. <br /> Mr. Callaghan opined that as long as the District was set to go away that was <br /> good, and it would be nice to see more of them go away. <br /> With concurrence by staff, Mayor Roe noted that approximately $400,000 was <br /> projected to come back to the City upon decertification of this TIF District. <br /> McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to <br /> enter into a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) Agreement (DRAFT Attachment <br /> A) and Charitable Pledge Agreement (DRAFT Attachment B) with the University <br /> of Northwestern—St. Paul. <br />
