commissions to review and provide input on this proposed settlement. Mr. Erickson
stated the right -of -way map was previously reviewed by the Planning Commission as

Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Ryan, Zaun, Sindt, Mulvihill, Holberg.
ITEM
Mr. Erickson presented a resolution which would authorize the City of Lakeville to
undertake certain redevelopment activities in Tax Increment Financing District No. 3
to facilitate a project to be undertaken by Aurora Investments LLC. Assistance would
be provided by the issuance of a tax increment revenue note by the City to Lakeville
Five, Inc., the seller of the land, which note will be paid from tax increments to be
received by the HRA from the TIF District for the Wensmann /Heritage Square housing
project and the two future commercial parcels east of Iberia Avenue. The City Council
then could proceed with approval of the redevelopment project under Item 9 on the
February 17th City Council meeting agenda.
Commissioner Zaun asked if there have been any changes to the overall plan since
approved by the Economic Development Commission.
Mr. Erickson stated the only change is in the reduced availability of tax increment
financing funds for the land write -down due to the allocation of funds for the 202nd
Street infrastructure improvements.
98.6 Motion was made by Zaun, seconded by Sindt to approve Resolution No. 98 -2
approving amendment to Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District No. 3; authorizing the City of Lakeville to undertake certain redevelopment
activities related thereto on behalf of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Lakeville and approving the execution of certain documents by the City; and
approving a related Tax Increment Pledge Agreement.
