L� I <br />. , Ciiy of Roseville, Minnesota <br />� <br />B. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND <br />� REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS <br />This section focuses on concepts which the City could employ to facilitate <br />� redevelopment efforts within the community. <br />� <br />� <br />1. Special Legislation <br />Many cities pursue legislation to assist them in addressing challenges which are <br />unique to their community or that they would be unable to resolve utilizing existing <br />law. This has often been the case for redevelopment areas in urban and <br />suburban environments. <br />� Well-designed special legislation has the best chance of being approved if it acts <br />to balance the provision of power with the minimum requirements necessary to <br />meet the challenges for which it is designed. Drafting and proposing new laws is <br />integral to the day-to-day legislative process and should continue to be considered <br />� part of Roseville's programmatic solution to meeting the redevelopment <br />challenges of Twin Lakes. <br />� Roseville proposed special legislation in 2003, but was unsuccessful in getting the <br />legislation passed. The cities of New Hope, Moorhead, Hopkins, and New <br />Brighton passed special legislation allowing the following activities: <br />+ Identification of a specific geographic area for a soils condition district <br />or redevelopment district <br />* F�cpanded pooling rules and extension of the 5-year rule <br />* Additional remedies for addressing deficits resulting from the 2001 <br />property tax changes <br />t F�ctension of the term of a redevelopment tax increment district <br />�� Appendix A contains samples of special TIF legislation that was recently achieved <br />by New Hope, Moorhead, Hopkins, and New Brighton, as well as proposed <br />� legislation for the City of Roseville that was not successful in the 2003 legislative <br />session. <br />� <br />�� <br />� <br />e{ <br />� <br />5 <br />} <br />� <br />i SPRINGSTED Page 9 <br />
