D. Statutory Authority.
The Authority is authorized under the Act and pursuant to the Enabling Resolution to
undertake and administer the Development Plan and the Development District, and to finance Costs
through the issuance of bonds. It is the intention of the Authority, notwithstanding the enumeration
of specific goals and objectives in this Development Plan, that the Authority shall have and enjoy
with respect to the Development District the full range of powers and duties conferred upon the
Authority pursuant to the Act and such other legal authority as the Authority may have or enjoy from
time to time. The Authority is authorized under the Act to undertake and administer the Development
Plan and the Development District, and to finance Costs of the Development District through issuance
of bonds.
E. Statement and Finding of Public Purpose
The Authority finds there is a need for development and redevelopment within the City and,
in particular , within the Development District, and a need to provide an improved local tax base, to
provide public facilities, to provide employment opportunities, and to improve the general economy
of the City and the State. The sound development of the economic security of the residents of the
City depends upon proper development of marginal and other property, which is defined in Section
469.048, subdivision 5, of the Port Authority Act and includes property that meets any one of a
number of conditions, including properties whose values are too low to pay for the public services
required or rendered and properties whose lack of use or improper use has resulted in stagnant or
unproductive land that could otherwise contribute to the public health, safety, and welfare.
The Authority finds that the Development District is proper and desirable to establish and
develop a system of harbor and river improvements and industrial developments in its port district.
For this purpose, "development" includes redevelopment, and "developing" includes redeveloping.
The Authority finds that, in many cases, marginal property cannot be developed without
public participation and assistance including proper planning, land acquisition, clearance of blighted
constructed improvements, and the financing of various public and private improvements necessary
for development and redevelopment. In cases where the development of marginal and other property
cannot be done by private enterprise alone, the Authority finds it to be in the public interest to consider
the exercise of its powers, the expenditure of public money and the provision of other means and
impetus for development.
The Authority finds that the City lack s adequate public recreational facilities to serve the needs
of the City’s population. Construction of land at the proposed site in the Development District will
allow the City to facilitate development of the Recreation Facility and develop the Development
District . The proposed site in the Development District will provide adequate space to develop the
Recreation Facility. The Development District will allow the City to encourage commercial
development to stimulate future development of the City, including attraction of commercial
development by providing access to public services, including without limitation recreational
facilities and services, to the citizens of and visitors to the City. The Recreation Facility is an essential
public facility and the site will be acquired and developed at a cost reasonably related to the public
purpose to be served without need of any residential clearance activities.
RS125-19-788305.v2 4
Development of the Recreation Facility is anticipated to provide a stimulating effect for
development of other parcels in the City. The Authority specifically finds that (i) certain property
within the Development District may not be available for development without public assistance; (ii)
that, with public financial assistance, the activities in the Development Plan will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the Development
Dist rict by private enterprise, and (iii) that the Development Plan conforms to the general plan for the
development of the City as a whole.
F. Statement of Objectives.
The Authority seeks to achieve the following objectives for the improvement of the
Development District through the Development Plan.
1. Promote the prompt development and redevelopment of property within the
Development District in a manner consistent with the City comprehensive plan, which
property is currently less productive because of insufficient pubic infrastructure, lack
of adequate community services, or general marginal conditions.
2. Promote the development of adequate public facilities necessary to serve the
Development District and the City as whole, including without limitation the
development of the Recreation Facility.
3. Promote the concentration of appropriate commercial and industrial development
within the Development District in order to enhance the City’s tax base.
4. Promote and secure additional employment opportunities within the Development
District and the Cit y for residents of the City and the surrounding area, which would
thereby improve living standards and prevent unemployment and the loss of skilled
labor and other human resources in the City;
5. Spur economic development to secure an increase in taxable market valuations in
order to better enable the City, the School District, the County and other taxing
jurisdictions to pay for public improvements and governmental services and programs
required to be provided by them; and
6. Construct, acquire or finance any public facilities, including recreational facilities,
sanitary sewer, water, storm drainage and roads, deemed necessary and desirable for
the development or redevelopment of the Development District.
7. Assist in development or redevelopment through provision of public services,
demolition and relocation, so il and terrain corrections or site improvements, or land
acquisition, all in cases deemed appropriate by the Authority.
8. Employ any powers of the Authority under the Act for the benefit of the Development
District in such cases and upon such terms as the Authority may deem appropriate.
RS125-19-788305.v2 5
G. Financing and Budget.
The Authority’s initial financing plans relate to Costs in connection with the construction
of the Recreation Facility. The Authority plans to finance the Costs primarily through the issuance
of general obligation bonds.
The Authority may also use revenues from any other source available to it to pay any Costs,
including without limitation landfill tipping fees and lease payments from a private operator of the
Recreational Facility.
The Authority’s expenditures for the Development District are not expected to exceed the
following:
Land Acquisition $2,500,000
Site Planning, Grading, and Site Improvements $2,500,000
Building Construction $50,000,000
Total $55,000,000
Any changes to the proposed budget from time to time may be submitted to the Commission
and City Council for approval by resolution without the need for a formal amendment to this
Development Plan.
H. Property Acquisition
The Authority may acquire such property, or interests therein, as the Authority may deem
necessary or desirable to carry out the objectives of the Development Plan.
