DATE: December 1, 2022
TO: Kim Therres, Executive Director (for December 6 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider a resolution adopting a 2023 HRA tax levy and EDA budget
As part of the annual budgeting process, the EDA formally requests a Housing and
Redevelopment Authority tax levy which would comprise most of its funding.
The 2022 levy was $310,000. On Sep. 6, 2022 the EDA adopted a resolution approving a
preliminary 2023 budget and $316,200 tax levy, which is a 2% increase from 2022.
At this time, EDA action is necessary to adopt the final 2023 EDA budget and 2023 HRA tax
levy for City Council consideration. The amounts are unchanged from the preliminary budget
and levy approved in September.
Budget Summary: 2020 2021 2022 2023
Actual Actual Adopted Proposed
Revenue 383,728 311,720 318,000 1 357,034 1
of which, levy is 282,744 300,000 310,000 316,200
Expenditures 389,119 526,914 2 384,390 357,923
Cash Balance
at End of Year 3 2,140,093 2,053,388 1,986,998 est. 1,949,029 est.
1 2022 adopted and 2023 proposed revenue does not include any land sale proceeds, as that varies from
year to year depending on market conditions and the characteristics of each parcel.
2 2021 expenditures were elevated due to (1) an expenditure of $64,170 to finance a fire sprinkler system
at 5600 56th and (2) $67,000 of unanticipated expenditures for home improvement grants. The fire
sprinkler financing is being repaid over five years, and home improvement grant expenditures are being
brought back in line with the budget due to program changes that began in 2022.
3 Cash balances are from the Long Term Plan and may not track exactly with revenue and expenditures.
EDA STAFF REPORT
Proposed 2023 HRA Tax Levy and EDA Budget
Page 2 of 2
Anticipated 2023 EDA activities:
• One or more redevelopment projects in the Town Center redevelopment area
• Expand branding and beautification efforts
• Sale of properties currently being held by the EDA (proceeds increase the fund balance)
• Home improvement grants for qualifying households located outside the redevelopment
project area (not eligible for TIF funds)
REQUESTED EDA ACTION
Adopt the attached resolution approving the 2023 EDA Budget and HRA tax levy, and
requesting their approval by the City Council.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL
HENNEPIN COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2022 - 08
ADOPTING A 2023 BUDGET AND PROPERTY TAX LEVY
AND REQUESTING THEIR APPROVAL BY THE CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal (the “EDA”) undertakes
redevelopment and housing activities in the City of Crystal, Minnesota (the “City”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to authority granted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.02 and the
enabling resolution of the EDA, the EDA exercises all of the powers of a housing and
redevelopment authority (“HRA”) as described in Minnesota Statues, Section 469.001 to
469.047 (the “Act”); and
WHEREAS, under Section 469.033 Subdivision 6 of the Act, an HRA is authorized to levy and
collect special benefit taxes on all taxable property under the jurisdiction of the HRA, that is,
property in the City; and
WHEREAS, the maximum permitted HRA levy is $501,232 which is calculated at 0.0185 percent
of the estimated market value of the property in the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development Authority of the City of
Crystal as follows:
1. The EDA hereby adopts a 2023 budget for housing and redevelopment in the amount of
$357,923.
2. The EDA hereby adopts a 2023 property tax levy of $316,200 for the purpose of funding
the adopted budget in conformance with Section 469.033, Subdivision 6 of Minnesota
Statutes.
3. The Executive Director is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of this
Resolution to the City Council of the City of Crystal for its consent and approval as
provided by Section 469.033 of the Act and for certification to the Property Tax Manager
of Hennepin County.
Adopted this 6th day of December, 2022.

FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
DATE: December 1, 2022
TO: Kim Therres, Executive Director (for December 6 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider approval of a contract with Center for Energy and the
Environment for administration of home improvement programs from July
1, 2023 - June 30, 2024
The EDA contracts with Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) to administer our home
improvement grant program. The current contract period ends on June 30, 2023.
The next contract period is July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024. The program budget would be
$306,000 which is consistent with the EDA budgets for 2023-2024.
The only other changes would be in the way administrative fees are calculated, due to CEE’s
personnel costs and other expenses having increased (as they have for everyone).
Currently the EDA pays CEE an annual lump sum of $2,500 plus 15% of the grant
amount. The EDA also pays $100 for each post-installation inspection when the work
does not require a permit and the city is therefore not already inspecting the work to
verify that it has been completed before the grant is paid.
The proposed contract would have an annual lump sum of $5,000 plus $500 per grant
regardless of the grant amount. The post-installation inspection fee would increase to
$150 but we will start doing those in-house so we no longer have to pay those fees.
If the EDA is uncomfortable with the slightly increased administrative costs, one solution
would be to increase the minimum project from $3,000 to $4,000. This would eliminate
the smallest grants for which the administrative fee will be almost as much as the grant.
Staff estimates that a $4,000 minimum project requirement would eliminate 8 grants per
year and reduce the administrative fees by $4,000 per year.

Total amount of Admin Fees $ 49,668 $ 56,000 $ 51,000
Admin Fees as % of Program Cost 15.8% 17.5% 16.2%
Approximately 90% of the funding will come from the TIF fund and 10% from the EDA/HRA
fund. Staff estimates show sufficient TIF district revenue and fund balance to continue the
program through 2028, after which alternate funding sources or program changes will be
necessary. Please see charts below and on the next page.
EDA ACTION REQUESTED
Staff requests EDA approval of the attached agreement with Center for Energy and
Environment for administration of home improvement programs for the period July 1, 2023
through June 30, 2024. The motion should include whether to keep the minimum project size
at $3,000 (est. 17.5% admin cost) or increase it to $4,000 (est. 16.2% admin cost).

assist with home additions, remodeling, maintenance and energy improvements. The Crystal Home
Improvement Program is designed to supplement existing loan programs available from MHFA, CEE,
private lenders and other housing resources. These programs are not intended to be the sole source of
improvement funds available to the homeowners in the City. Center for Energy and Environment shall
serve as the administrator for the Crystal Grant Program and will secure the most beneficial financing
based on the borrower’s needs independent of the funding source.
Eligible Project Expenses:
• Interior remodeling
• Building additions
• Finishing basements, attics or similar spaces to convert them into habitable space
• Energy efficiency improvements
• Exterior building improvements such as roofing, siding, soffits/fascia, windows and doors
• Site improvements such as retaining walls, sidewalks, driveways, fences, patios, decks, garages and
the removal of diseased or hazardous trees
• Systems such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing
• Permanent Landscaping

• Exception: For projects replacing or lining a sanitary sewer service and/or disconnecting stormwater
drainage (sump connections, foundation drains, etc.) from the sanitary sewer, the grant amount is
40% of those particular, itemized project costs. This is intended to augment the city's efforts to
reduce inflow & infiltration into the sanitary sewer system. In many cases this work will be triggered
by, and completed in conjunction with, the city's utility reconstruction projects (typically 1‐4 blocks
per year). However, any income‐qualified, owner‐occupied residential property in the city is eligible.
No property may receive grants totaling more than $8,000 in any calendar year.
Exhibit A1 - _#4073_ Page 3
Eligible Properties: 1‐4 unit owner‐occupied properties located within the geographical boundaries of
the City of Crystal. Properties held in a Trust, Townhomes and Condominiums are eligible, subject to

unit, the non‐owner‐occupied units must be in compliance with the City of Crystal’s rental licensing
requirements.
Ineligible Properties: Dwellings with more than 4 units, cooperatives, manufactured homes, time
shares, properties used for commercial purposes and non‐owner occupied properties.
Eligible Recipients: All recipients must be legal residents of the United States, as evidenced by a social
security number, Including: U.S. Citizens, Permanent Resident Aliens, and Non‐Permanent Resident

SUBJECT: Establishing two-way yield control on 54th Ave N at Quail Ave N
Summary
Recently a resident contacted the City with concerns about the safety of the intersection of 54th Avenue
North and Quail Avenue North. When reviewing and responding to requests, the City takes into consideration
crash reports, vehicle speeds, vehicle volumes, field observations, and other information.
Crashes
According to crash report analysis, there have been five reported crashes at the intersection in the last 10
years (2012, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022). All were right angle crashes.
Sight Distance
Intersection visibility appeared consistent with residential streets in Crystal. There is an evergreen tree in the
southeast corner of the intersection that does not conform to City Code for corner visibility requirements and
we will be following up with the property owner.
Traffic Control in the Area
The neighborhood around the intersection is mostly uncontrolled intersections and a few two-way stop
intersections.
Summary
Based on the field inspection and data reviewed, the existing conditions at 54th Avenue North and Quail
Avenue North do not warrant stop signs. That said, because of the crash history at the intersection, it does
appear that drivers are not correctly understanding who has the right of way when approaching the
intersection. To aid in establishing who has the right of way, it is recommended that yield signs be installed on
54th Avenue North as that is the street with the lower relative volume. The addition of the yield signs should
aid in clarification of right of way while not significantly increasing delay at the intersection.
Recommended Action
Motion authorizing the installation of the yield signs on 54th Avenue North at Quail Avenue North.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022- ___

WHEREAS, the City Council has the power and authority, pursuant to State
Statute Chapter 169.06, Subd. 3., to place and maintain traffic control devices on City
streets to regulate traffic; and
WHEREAS, all traffic control shall conform to the state manual and
specifications for traffic control devices; and
WHEREAS, the City has completed a study of the intersection which
recommended the installation of the yield signs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council hereby
establishes two-way yield control on 54th Ave N at Quail Ave N.
Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 6th day of December, 2022.

SUBJECT: Consider a resolution authorizing execution of a Healthy Tree Canopy Grant
Agreement with Hennepin County
In June 2022, staff applied to Hennepin County for a Healthy Tree Canopy grant to help the
city deal with the cost of responding to the Emerald Ash Borer infestation.
Grant funds would be used to remove diseased Ash trees on public property and plant
replacement trees.
The grant would be for $50,000 and the required 25% match would be covered by
expenditures already included in the 2023 Forestry budget. Therefore the only fiscal impact
would be positive for the city.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing execution of a Healthy Tree Canopy Grant Agreement
with Hennepin County.

claims, or facts giving rise to such claims, under the MGDPA or other data, data
security, privacy or confidentiality laws, and shall also comply with the other
requirements of this Section.
Classification of data, including trade secret data, will be determined pursuant to
applicable law and, accordingly, merely labeling data as “trade secret” by

applicable law.

Administrator, GRANTEE shall deliver to the Contract Administrator all
County Data so specified by COUNTY.

protected, privileged, not public, nonpublic, or private, as those
classifications are determined pursuant to applicable law. In addition,

compliance with the requirements of this Section: (1) COUNTY’s request or lack
of request for contracts between GRANTEE and subcontractors; (2) COUNTY’s

remaining provisions will not be affected.
15. DEFAULT AND CANCELLATION/TERMINATION
A. If GRANTEE fails to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement, fails to
administer the work so as to endanger the performance of the Agreement or
otherwise breaches or fails to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, it
shall be in default. Unless GRANTEE’s default is excused in writing by
COUNTY, COUNTY may upon written notice immediately cancel or terminate
this Agreement in its entirety. Additionally, failure to comply with the terms of
this Agreement shall be just cause for COUNTY to delay payment until
GRANTEE’s compliance. In the event of a decision to withhold payment,
COUNTY shall furnish prior written notice to GRANTEE.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, GRANTEE
shall remain liable to COUNTY for damages sustained by COUNTY GRANTEE
virtue of any breach of this Agreement by GRANTEE. Upon notice to

COUNTY may withhold any payments to GRANTEE for the purpose of set-off
until such time as the exact amount of damages due COUNTY from GRANTEE
4.8
Form 101 (Revised 8/2022) 7
is determined. Following notice from COUNTY of the claimed breach and
damage, GRANTEE and COUNTY shall attempt to resolve the dispute in good
faith.
C. The above remedies shall be in addition to any other right or remedy available to
COUNTY under this Agreement, law, statute, rule, and/or equity.
D. COUNTY’s failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision or to
exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be deemed a relinquishment or
waiver of the same, unless consented to in writing. Such consent shall not
constitute a general waiver or relinquishment throughout the entire term of the
Agreement.
E. This Agreement may be canceled/terminated with or without cause by COUNTY
upon thirty (30) days’ written notice.
F. If this Agreement expires or is cancelled or terminated, with or without cause, by
either party, at any time, GRANTEE shall not be entitled to any payment, fees or
other monies except for payments duly invoiced for then-delivered and accepted
deliverables/milestones pursuant to this Agreement. In the event GRANTEE has
performed work toward a deliverable that COUNTY has not accepted at the time
of expiration, cancellation or termination, GRANTEE shall not be entitled to any
payment for said work, including but not limited to incurred costs of performance,
termination expenses, profit on the work performed, other costs founded on
termination for convenience theories or any other payments, fees, costs or
expenses not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Memorandum
DATE: December 6, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
Kim Therres, Assistant City Manager/HR Manager
FROM: Jodi Bursheim, Abdo Financial Solutions, LLC
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Adopting the 2023 Property Tax Levies, 2023 budget and 2023 EDA levy
Background
The City Council has held work sessions to discuss property tax revenues and budget proposals. The outcome of the
budget work sessions resulted in a proposed property tax levy increase of 9.5%.
The emphasis for the 2023 budget has been to focus on maintaining current service levels, provide competitive wages
and benefits to retain quality people to provide effective and efficient services to our residents and businesses and to
continue to invest in future capital needs including Parks and Street Improvements.
While property taxes support approximately 75% of General Fund activity, they also support parks, street reconstruction
and the police revolving fund throughout the city. In addition, pro perty taxes support, through internal service fund
allocations, fleet, buildings, and information technology.
Other 2023 Budgets
Additional discussions were held regarding Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital Project, Enterprise, and Internal
Service Fund budgets. Information regarding these budgets can be found in the 2023 Budget Document.
Conclusion
The City Council is requested to consider approving the 2023 property tax levy, 2023 Budget and 2023 EDA Levy.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Resolution approving an affordable housing Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) district for 5240 Apartments (5240 West Broadway)
BACKGROUND
On June 15, 2021, the EDA adopted a resolution of support for tax increment financing to
facilitate the Sand Companies proposed development of a <60% AMI affordable, 58 unit
apartment building on a 1.75 acre the site at 5240 West Broadway. The initial estimate for 10
years of increment was a present value of $550,000, but a subsequent legislative change to
the 4d low income housing property tax class rate tiers reduced the estimated 10 year TIF
amount to $400,000. (Attachment 1)
On June 14, 2022, Sand submitted an application to rezone the site to Town Center - Planned
Development including site and building plans. On Aug. 16, 2022, the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the rezoning, and on Sep. 6, 2022, the City Council adopted an
ordinance approving the rezoning. (Attachment 2)
On November 15, 2022, the EDA adopted a resolution approving a modification to the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1 and Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
Plan for Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand), a housing district
located at 5240 West Broadway. (Attachment 3)
PROPOSED TIF DISTRICT
Ehlers has prepared a TIF plan (Attachment 4) which would establish a new TIF district No. 5
for the 5240 West Broadway development site.
•The TIF plan budget is a maximum budget for the 26 year life of the district, and is not
indicative of the assistance to Sand, which will be much lower based on no more than 10
years of net increment. The estimated present value of the net tax increment over the 26
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT - Public Hearing
5240 West Broadway
Resolution approving TIF District #5 (Sand)
6.2
Page 2 of 2
year life of the district is $1,328,768. However, assuming 10 years of net TIF, the maximum
present value amount to be provided to Sand is estimated at $389,000.
• The assistance to Sand would be in the form of a pay-as-you-go note, similar to what was
done for The Cavanagh.
• Ehlers is currently completing the financial analysis to determine whether Sand still needs
10 years of TIF. Once the amount and term of necessary assistance to Sand Is determined,
a formal TIF agreement will be prepared for EDA consideration at a subsequent meeting in
late 2022 or early 2023.
• Once the Sand TIF note is paid off, the city will have the option of either decertifying the
district or continuing to collect increment to use for other affordable housing projects that
meet the required income limits. For rental housing, at least 20% of units must be
affordable at 50% AMI or 40% of units must be affordable at 60% AMI. For owner occupied
units, the maximum income is 100% AMI for 1-2 person households and 115% AMI for
households of 3 or more.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
1. Hold the public hearing and receive any public comment.
2. Consider adoption of the resolution approving the TIF district (Attachment 5).

FOREWORD
The following text represents a modification to the Redevelopment Plan for
Redevelopment Project No. 1. This modification represents a continuation of
the goals and objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for
Redevelopment Project No. 1. Generally, the substantive changes include the
establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand).
For further information, a review of the Redevelopment Plan for
Redevelopment Project No. 1, is recommended. It is available from the
Community Development Director at the City of Crystal. Other relevant
information is contained in the tax increment financing plans for the tax
increment financing districts located within Redevelopment Project No. 1.

Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 5 (Sand)
FOREWORD
The Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal (the "EDA"), the
City of Crystal (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following
information to expedite the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
No. 5 (Sand) (the "District"), a housing tax increment financing district,
located in Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the “Project”).
STATUTORY AUTHORITY
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to
cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City
have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."),
Sections 469.001 - 469.047, 469.090 - 469.1082, both inclusive, as amended,
and M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "TIF Act"),
to assist in financing public costs related to the Project.
This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the
District. Other relevant information is contained in the modification to the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The District currently consists of four (4) parcels of land and adjacent roads
and internal rights-of-way. The City approved a lot consolidation plat (Crystal
Housing Group Addition) for the four (4) parcels on September 6, 2022, and it
will be recorded when the developer closes on the acquisition of the parcels.
The District is being created to facilitate the construction of 58 units of
apartments that are affordable to persons and families whose incomes are at
or below 60% of area median income (AMI) in the City. The EDA anticipates
entering into an agreement with Sand Companies, Inc. or an affiliate thereof
(the “Developer”) and development is anticipated to begin in spring of 2023.
This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the
Redevelopment Plan for the Project.
The activities contemplated in the modification to the Redevelopment Plan
and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified
development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to
occur over the life of the Project and the District.
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) 3
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
Pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and authorizing state statutes, the EDA
or City is authorized to undertake the following activities in the District:
1. Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within the
District may be acquired by the EDA or City and is further
described in this TIF Plan.
2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law,
are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state
and federal laws.
3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and
completion of the necessary legal requirements, the EDA or City
may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire
within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary
acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required
utilities and public street work within the District.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT AND PROPERTY
TO BE ACQUIRED
The District encompasses all property and adjacent roads rights-of-way and
abutting roadways identified by the parcels listed below.
Parcel number Address Owner
09-118-21-22-0030 5232 W. Broadway W. Broadway Inv.
09-118-21-22-0031 5240 W. Broadway W. Broadway Inv.
09-118-21-22-0032 5248 W/ Broadway Zephyr Land LLC
09-118-21-22-0033 5256 W. Broadway Zephyr Land LLC
The City approved a lot consolidation plat (Crystal Housing Group Addition)
for the four (4) parcels on September 6, 2022, and it will be recorded when
the developer closes on the acquisition of the parcels. Please also see the
map in Appendix A for further information on the location of the District.
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) 4
The City does not currently intend to acquire any property within the District
but reserves the right to acquire and convey (for full value or a discount) such
property, or appropriate interests therein including interior and adjacent
street rights of way, within the Development District, as depicted on the map
attached in Appendix A hereto, as the City may deem to be necessary or
desirable to assist in the implementation of the Development Program and the
TIF Plan. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the City
only in order to accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer
improvements; provide land for needed public streets, utilities and facilities;
and/or carry out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or
development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this TIF Plan.
The Developer has site control of and intends to acquire the property in the
District in connection with the construction of the Development. The City will
not exercise eminent domain powers in the District with respect to property
for the Development.
DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION
The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing
district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended,
inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a housing district pursuant
to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S., Section 469.1761.
$ The District consists of four (4) parcels
$ The development will consist of 58 units of multi-family rental housing
$ 100% of the units will be occupied by persons and families with incomes at
or below 60% of area median income
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any
parcel or part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections
273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five
calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
DURATION & FIRST YEAR OF DISTRICT’S TAX INCREMENT
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the
duration and first year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within
the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the
District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City
(a total of 26 years of tax increment). The EDA or City elects to receive the first
tax increment in 2025, which is no later than four years following the year of
approval of the District.
Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) 5
for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2050, or when
the TIF Plan is satisfied. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the
District prior to the legally required date.
ORIGINAL TAX CAPACITY, TAX RATE & ESTIMATED CAPTURED
NET TAX CAPACITY VALUE/INCREMENT & NOTIFICATION OF
PRIOR PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1,
the Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based
on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2022 for taxes
payable 2023.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall
certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2025) the amount by
which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the District;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District
declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will
be payable to the EDA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes
payable 2023, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30,
2023. The rates for 2023 were not available at the time the District was
established. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear
in the table below.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2,
and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within
the Project, upon completion of the projects within the District, will annually
approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The EDA
and City request 100% of the available increase in tax capacity be used for
repayment of the obligations of the EDA or City and current expenditures,
beginning in the tax year payable 2025. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed
is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed.

tax capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $14,319.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and
diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor
or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175,
Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of
enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen
(18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the
municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor
shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax
capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued.
The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found no
parcels for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City.
SOURCES OF REVENUE/BONDS TO BE ISSUED
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the
table below:
SOURCES
Tax Increment 2,314,675$
Interest 231,467
TOTAL 2,546,142$
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds section of this TIF Plan will be
financed primarily through the annual collection of tax increments. The EDA
or City reserves the right to issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) or incur
other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the
projects within the District will be financed by pay-as-you-go notes and
interfund loans. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost
without a formal modification to this TIF Plan. This provision does not obligate
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) 7
the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue bonds or incur other
debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the
City.
The EDA or City may issue bonds secured in whole or in part with tax
increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $2,546,142.
Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or
notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total
bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF
Plan as of the date of approval.
USES OF FUNDS
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the
construction of 58 units of apartments that are affordable to persons and
families whose incomes are at or below 60% of area median income (AMI).
The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide
assistance to the project(s) for certain District costs, as described herein.
The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of
property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and
development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use
of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The
estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is
outlined in the following table.
USES
Land/Building Acquisition 200,000$
Site Improvements/Preparation 200,000
Affordable Housing 860,235
Utilities 100,000
Other Qualifying Improvements 200,000
Administrative Costs (up to 10%)231,468
PROJECT COSTS TOTAL 1,791,703$
Interest 754,439
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL 2,546,142$
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table
above, does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as
shown in the Sources of Revenue section.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among
categories without a modification to the TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to
be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) 8
modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory
requirements. The EDA may expend funds for qualified housing activities
outside of the District boundaries.
FISCAL DISPARITIES ELECTION
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of two
methods to calculate fiscal disparities.
The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b (inside).
ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the
redevelopment contemplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the
creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that such
development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment
financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is
$0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but
for" test was not met:

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all
construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2022
rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on Pay
2022 figures. The District will be certified under the Pay 2023 rates, which
were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount
of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is
$2,314,675;
(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability
to issue debt. An impact of the District on police protection is
expected. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police
calls for service will be increased. New developments add an
increase in traffic, and additional overall demands to the call load.
The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of
itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities.
The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected
to be significant. Typically, new buildings generate few calls, if any,
and are of superior construction. The City does not expect that the
proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital
investment in vehicles or facilities.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be
minimal. The development is not expected to significantly impact
any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the
additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based
on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated
with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks.
It is not anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt
issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on
the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district
levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life
of the District that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all
taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $508,453;
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) 10
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is
estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the
District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the
county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is $739,173;
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The
City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school
district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on
county or school district services. The county or school district must
request additional information pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7, this TIF Plan must
contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make
the determination set forth in M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and
the findings are required in the resolution approving the District.
(i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1)
written representation made by the Developer to such effects; (2)
review of the Developer’s proforma; and (3) City staff awareness of
the feasibility of developing the project site within the District, which
is further outlined in the City Council resolution approving the
establishment of the District and Appendix C.
(ii) A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and
without establishment of the District and the use of tax increments
has been performed. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in
Appendix B and indicates that the increase in estimated market
value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions)
exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the
establishment of the District and the use of tax increments.
DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION
Administration of the District will be handled by the Community Development
Director.

Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand)
Appendix C: Findings Including But/For Qualifications
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand), as
required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, (M.S.), Section 469.175, Subdivision 3
are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) is a housing
district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11.
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand) consists of four (4)
parcels. The City approved a lot consolidation plat (Crystal Housing
Group Addition) for the four (4) parcels on September 6, 2022, and it
will be recorded when the developer closes on the acquisition of the
parcels. The development will consist of the construction of 58 units of
apartments that are affordable to persons and families whose incomes
are at or below 60% of area median income (AMI), all or a portion of
which will receive tax increment assistance and will meet income
restrictions described in M.S., Section 469.1761. As required by the TIF
Act, at least 100% of the units receiving assistance will be occupied by
individuals and families whose incomes are at or below 60% of area
median income.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City
Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through
private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by
the fact that the development proposed in the TIF Plan is a housing
district that meets the City's objectives for development and
redevelopment. The cost of developing affordable housing makes this
development infeasible without City assistance. Due to decreased rental
income from the affordable units, there is insufficient cash flow to pay
operating expenses, service the debt, and repay the deferred developer
fee. This leaves a gap in the funding for the project and makes this
housing development feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax
increment financing. The Developer was asked for and provided a letter
and a proforma as justification that the Developer would not have gone
forward without public financial assistance.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be
expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be
6.2
Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 (Sand)
less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the
projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District
permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that
the cost to construct affordable housing and the corresponding
reduced rents required have made development infeasible without tax
increment assistance. These parcels have been vacant since 2007, and
this is the only development proposal that has come forward. The City
reasonably determines that no other development of similar scope is
anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being
provided to the development.
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5
(Sand) conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The City Council reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan
conforms to the general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5
(Sand) will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise.
Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the City will provide an
impetus for residential development, which is desirable or necessary for
increased population and an increased need for life-cycle housing within
the City. In addition, the proposed development will increase the
taxable market valuation in the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Crystal, Minnesota as
follows:
Section 1. Findings for the Redevelopment Plan Modification for the Project.
(a)The boundaries of the Project are not being expanded and the Redevelopment Plan is not
being modified other than to incorporate the establishment of the TIF District therein and therefore the
City Council reaffirms the findings and determinations originally made in connection with the
establishment of the Project area and the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan therefor. The purposes and
ATTACHMENT 5 6.2
CR150\225\833508.v1
development activities set forth in the proposed Redevelopment Plan Modification are hereby expanded
to include all development and redevelopment activities occurring within the TIF District.
(b) It is hereby found and determined that within the Project there exist conditions of
obsolescence, underutilization, and inappropriate use of land constituting blight within the meaning of the
Act.
(c) It is further specifically found and determined that (i) the land within the Project would
not be made available for redevelopment without the public intervention and financial assistance
described in the Redevelopment Plan Modification; (ii) the Redevelopment Plan Modification will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development and
redevelopment of the Project by private enterprise; and (iii) the Redevelopment Plan Modification
conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole, and otherwise promote certain
public purposes and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan Modification,
including without limitation the development of affordable housing within the City.
Section 2. Findings for the Establishment of the TIF District.
(a) It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable for the sound and orderly
development of the Project, and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and
general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the City to provide financial assistance
to the TIF District and the Project.
(b) The TIF District is in the public interest and is a “housing district” within the meaning of
Section 469.174, subdivision 11 of the TIF Act, because it consists of a project or portions of a project
intended for occupancy, in part, by persons or families of low and moderate income as defined in Chapter
462A, Title II of the National Housing Act of 1934; the National Housing Act of 1959; the United States
Housing Act of 1937, as amended; Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended; and any other similar
present or future federal, state or municipal legislation or the regulations promulgated under any of those
acts. No more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax increments
will consist of commercial, retail or other nonresidential uses.
(c) It is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the City, that the
development proposed in the TIF Plan could not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future. This finding is supported by the fact that the
development proposed in the TIF Plan is a housing district that meets the City's objectives for
development and redevelopment. The cost of developing affordable housing makes this development
infeasible without City assistance. Due to decreased rental income from the affordable units, there is
insufficient cash flow to pay operating expenses, service the debt, and repay the deferred developer fee.
This leaves a gap in the funding for the project and makes this housing development feasible only through
assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The proposed developer was asked for and provided a
letter and a proforma as justification that the project would not have gone forward without public
financial assistance.
(d) The proposed development to be financed in part through tax increment financing is
necessary to permit the City to realize the full potential of the Project in terms of housing density,
increased housing options in the City, and increased tax base.
(e) The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without
the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from
the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
6.2
CR150\225\833508.v1
maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds
that the cost to construct affordable housing and the corresponding reduced rents required have made
development infeasible without tax increment assistance. The parcels within the TIF District have been
vacant since 2007, and with this being is the only development proposal that has come forward. The City
reasonably determines that no other development of similar scope is anticipated on this site without
substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
(f) The TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development of the City as a whole and
will generally serve to implement policies adopted in the City’s comprehensive plan. The housing
development contemplated in the TIF Plan will be in accordance with the existing zoning or approved
zoning variances for the property.
(g) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the
City as a whole, for the development of the TIF District and the Project by private enterprise because it
will provide an impetus for residential development, which is desirable or necessary for increased
population and an increased need for life-cycle housing within the City; result in additional availability of
affordable housing units; eliminate and prevent blight and blighting factors within the Project and City;
and help develop an underutilized site in the City. In addition, the proposed development described in the
TIF Plan will increase the taxable market valuation in the City.
(h) Background information and facts supporting all the above findings are set forth in the
TIF Plan, including but not limited to Appendix C, and the TIF Plan and all findings set forth therein are
incorporated herein by reference. In reaching its conclusions regarding the TIF Plan, the City Council has
also relied upon reports and recommendations of its staff and consultants, information submitted by the
developer of the proposed development within the TIF District, as well as the knowledge of members of
the City Council gained in hearings upon and during consideration of other matters relating to the
proposed development.
(i) The City Council elects to calculate the fiscal disparities for the TIF District in
accordance with Section 469.177, subdivision 3(b) of the TIF Act, which means that the fiscal disparities
contribution will be taken from inside the TIF District.
Section 3. Public Purpose. The adoption of the TIF Plan conforms in all respects to the
requirements of the Act. The TIF Plan will help facilitate development that will create diverse housing
opportunities and increase the number and availability of affordable housing units in the City, eliminate
blighting factors and underutilized land in the City, and improve the tax base. The City expressly finds
that any private benefit to be received by a private developer is incidental, as the tax increment assistance
is provided solely to make the development financially feasible and thus produce the public benefits
described. Therefore, the City finds that the public benefits of the TIF Plan exceed any private benefits.
Section 4. Approvals; Further Proceedings.
(a) The TIF Plan for the TIF District and the Redevelopment Plan Modification are hereby
approved and adopted in substantially the form on file at City Hall. Approval of the TIF Plan does not
constitute approval of any project or a development agreement with any developer.
(b) The City Council authorizes and directs the Authority to file a request for certification of
the TIF District with the County Auditor/Treasurer and to file a copy of TIF Plan with the Minnesota
Commissioner of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor as required by the TIF Act.
6.2
CR150\225\833508.v1
(c) The County Auditor/Treasurer is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District, as described in the TIF Plan.
(d) City staff, advisors, and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the
implementation of the TIF Plan and the Redevelopment Plan Modification and to negotiate, draft,
prepare, and present to the City Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents, and
contracts necessary for this purpose.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Crystal, Minnesota this 6th day of December, 2022.

BACKGROUND
As you are aware, in 2021, we partnered with the cities of New Hope and Robbinsdale to
share an embedded Hennepin County mental health social worker and we split the costs
evenly between our 3 cities and the county. We have learned over these past few years the
need for our community to have a full-time mental health social worker and presented this at
our budget work session to all of you.
CONSIDERATION
We are asking for your approval of the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) where we will split the
cost of the embedded mental health social worker with Hennepin County and our share is
$60,000.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

__________________________________________________________________________
A.BACKGROUND
Staff has received a text amendment request from Dan and Debbie Pearson who ow n

applicants would like to amend the use specific standards for vehicle sales to allow
vehicle sales north of Lombardy Lane.
On November 14 the Planning Commission held the p ublic hearing and unanimously

comments.
Attachment:
A.Proposed ordinance amendment
B.PROPOSED AMENDMENT
Vehicle sales north of Lombardy Lane . The city received a request from Premier Motors
at 6048-6058 Lakeland Ave N to allow vehicle sales from Lombardy Lane to a point 368
feet north, encompassing two existing mo tor vehicle sales businesses (attachment A).
Currently vehicle sales are allowed as a permitted use in the commercial district, but not
north of 56th Avenue (Bass Lake Road). Therefore, vehicle sales at Premier are
classified as “legally nonconforming”, which allows for the use to continue but it cannot
be expanded. With this change Premier Motors and Jack’s Auto Sales would be able to
expand and improve sales lots on their current properties. The aerial photo on the next
page shows the two properties.

There is precedent for allowing vehicle sales in a smaller area – vehicle sales are
allowed to a point 660’ north of the intersection of Winnetka and 36 th Avenues. The
zoning map excerpt below shows the properties where vehicle sales would be allowed
as a result of this amendment. Jack’s would have to combine 6043 Florida Avenue
with their 6030 Lakeland lot to take advantage of this change.
