opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the District by private enterprise. 3.03. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the findings stated in Section 2 and this Section based on the reasons and supporting facts for each finding attached as Exhibit A. 3.04. The City elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b of the Act, which means the fiscal disparities contribution will be taken from inside the District. Section 4. Public Purpose 4.01. The adoption of the Program and Plan conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to redevelop an area of the City which is already built up, to eliminate blight and blighting factors within the Development District, to provide employment opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State, and thereby serves a public purpose. For the reasons described in Exhibit A, the City believes these benefits directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided under the TIF Plan. A private developer will receive only the assistance needed to make this development financially feasible. As such, any private benefits received by a developer are incidental and do not outweigh the primary public benefits. Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Program and Plan 5.01. The Program and Plan, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Housing and Economic Development Program Manager. 5.02. City staff, advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Program and Plan and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. 5.03 The Auditor of Ramsey County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the District, as described in the Program and Plan, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased; and EDA staff is authorized and directed to transmit this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may specify. 5.04. The Housing and Economic Development Program Manager is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the Program and Plan with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Section 469.175, Subd. 4a of the Act.
