NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Authority as follows: tw 1. The Authority hereby finds and determines: (a) The adoption of Modification No. 2 is in the public interest and to the benefit of the health, safety and welfare of the City; (b) Modification No. 2 does not alter the designation of Tax Increment Financing District No. 8 as a housing district or expand the boundaries thereof; (c) The Modified Plans will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the Housing Development Project by private enterprise since the Authority proposes only to facilitate private investment in housing and related commercial enterprises, and does not propose direct construction or ownership; (d) Based on review by the Planning Commission, the Modified Plans conform to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole; and (e) The proposed development in the Project, in the opinion of the Authority, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably forseeable future and therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. In the case of the Meadows North area added to the Project by Modification No. 2, public assistance is deemed necessary to facilitate development since the history of the site, as set forth in the Modified Plans, shows several unsuccessful attempts to develop the site in the past. With respect to the Miller site added to the Project by Modification No. 2, Appendix B to the Tax Increment Financing Plan sets forth the need for public assistance and is incorporated herein by reference. 2. The Modified Plans, including Modification No. 2, are hereby approved and adopted by the Authority substantially in the form on file with the City on this date. The Executive Director is authorized to submit the Modified Plans to the City Council with a request that the City Council approve the Modified Plans following a public hearing to be held pursuant to Section 469.175, Subd. 3. 3. Following approval by the City Council, the Executive Director is authorized and directed to file a copy of the Modified Plans with the Minnesota Commissioner of Trade and Economic Development. 4. Upon approval of the Modified Plans by the City Council, the Executive Director, together with the Authority's financial advisor, legal counsel and bond counsel, is authorized to proceed with the implementation of the Modified Plans, and for this purpose to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Board for its consideration all resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose.
