<br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that Staff and Council are not trying to force something <br />through but it seems equally unfair to someone they can't have needed <br />improvements because other people don't want them. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Fults and seconded by Commissioner Hardin to recommend <br />that in the best interest of long range planning for the City of Ramsey, <br />Council establish storm sewer taxing districts as a method of financing storm <br />sewer improvements. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Chairman Greenberg noted that this recommendation is a <br />necessary step in Ramsey's long range planning and it does not mean that storm <br />sewer improvements will be installed immediately. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Greenberg, Commissioners Kurak, Fults, <br />Muller, Hardin. DeLuca and Ippel. Voting No: None.

Voting Yes: Chairman Greenberg, Commissioners Kurak, Fults, <br />Muller, Hardin, DeLuca and Ippel. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners <br />Vevea and Wagner. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that one of the greatest potentials, as far as financing <br />tools, is tax increment financing and if it is going to be used for extension <br />of public improvements to the industrial area, we have to target the bond sale <br />for September, 1986. A lot has to take place by September 1, 1986; public <br />hearing, 60 day waiting period, amend 1990 service area and establish EAW, <br />prepare plans, prepare bonding and receive bids. Mr. Hartley stated that <br />people have approached him with concerns that the City not use tax increment <br />financing in a way that will create an unfair competitive environment. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hardin dismissed himself from the meeting at 8:59 a.m. <br /> <br />Commission consensus was to schedule a special EDC meeting for Tuesday, April <br />29 at 7:30 a.m. to continue discussion of extension of public improvements to <br />the industrial area. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Fults and seconded by Commissioner Muller to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
