Summary
The following review of the City's four active tax increment districts provide information on their
purpose when created and their current status. As the City looks to future development, it needs to
review how some development projects came about.
North Wirth 3 was set up as a Soils Condition Tax Increment District, which is a less common type of
TIF district that can collect increment for up to 21 years. They are designed to address the presence of
hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants that serve as an obstacle to free market
development. The district was created in 2004, started collecting revenue in 2008, and is scheduled to
be decertified in 2028. As of Feb 1, 2021, the outstanding pay-go note with Associated Bank is
$122,296.60.
Highway 55 West was set up as a Renewal and Renovation Tax Increment District, which is also a less
common type of TIF district that can collect increment for up to 16 years. They are similar to
redevelopment districts but have different blight criteria focused more on inappropriate and obsolete
land use. The district was created in 2013, started collecting revenue in 2017, and is scheduled to be
decertified in 2032. As of Feb 1, 2021, an outstanding pay-go note with Golden Villa is $2,173,765.54
and also pays for a portion of the 2017B Street bonds for $2,646,525.
Cornerstone Creek was set up as a Housing Tax Increment District, which is the second most common
type of TIF district and can collect increment for up to 26 years. They are designed to encourage the
development of housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families, which is generally
under-supplied by the free market. The district was created in 2016, started collecting revenue in
2018, and is scheduled to be decertified in 2043. As of Feb 1, 2021, an outstanding pay-go note with
Cornerstone Creek is $687,975.
Winnetka-Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment District was set up as a Redevelopment Tax
Increment District, which is the most common type of TIF district and can collect increment for up to
26 years. They are designed to eliminate blighted conditions that represent market failures, and
therefore help so that blighted properties can compete with bare land for development. The district

was created in 2016, started collecting revenue in 2018, and is scheduled to be decertified in 2043. As
of Feb 1, 2021, the City has outstanding bonds for $2,340,000 and two interfund loans for $764,955
and $880,000.
Staff has compiled information on these four tax increment districts into a story map for the City
website, which will be presented at the meeting.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a tool created by the Legislature to support local economic
development, redevelopment, and housing development. The additional taxes collected from the
increased taxable value over the existing taxable value allows the HRA to finance the activity.
