I. ROLL CALL / CALL THE HRA MEETING TO ORDER
Chair Case called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM. All HRA members were present.
II. APPROVE MINUTES OF HRA MEETING HELD ON MAY 3, 2022
MOTION: Toomey moved, seconded by Freiberg, to approve the HRA minutes from May
3, 2022. Motion carried 5-0.
III. ADOPT RESOLUTION HRA 2022-05 APPROVING THE PROPOSED 2023
PROPERTY TAX LEVY AND ACCEPTING THE PROPOSED 2023 BUDGET
Getschow explained Minnesota Law authorizes the HRA to levy a tax with the consent of
the City Council. The HRA must adopt a proposed net property tax levy by September 30
and certify it to the county auditor. Per Minnesota Statute, Housing and Redevelopment
Authorities can levy a tax of up to .0185 percent of estimated market value. The proceeds
may be spent on planning and implementation of redevelopment or low-rent housing
assistance programs with the City. The limit for the City of Eden Prairie is $2,182,447.
Getschow noted for many years, Staff has proposed the property tax levy to be $205,000,
and the same is true for 2023. It is common for Eden Prairie to set the levy the same as the
preliminary levy, but it is up to the Council to determine the final levy at a later date.
MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Nelson to adopt the resolution to approve the
proposed 2023 property tax levy to be $205,000 and accept the proposed 2023
budget of $205,000. Motion carried 5-0.
IV. ADOPT RESOLUTION HRA 2022-06 AMENDING H.R.A. RESOLUTION 2022-03
EXTENDING DEADLINE RELATING TO TIF APPROVALS FOR GTS HOUSING
Getschow explained the requested action makes a minor modification to the TIF approvals
granted to GTS Housing (Blue Stem North). On May 3, 2022, the HRA approved a

resolution granting conditional approval to the adoption of a Modification to the
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area No. 5, establishment of Tax
Increment Financing District No. 26: GTS Housing, and adoption of a Tax Increment
Financing Plan for GTS Housing (the “TIF Approvals”). The resolution was contingent
upon the developer acquiring fee simple title to the property by September 1, 2022. The
modification does not modify any of the previous approvals, it simply extends the deadline
to December 8, 2022 for the developer to take title to the property and notify the City to be
in conformance with the resolution.
MOTION: Freiberg moved, seconded by Nelson, to adopt the Resolution ratifying an
administrative extension to the September 1, 2022 deadline to provide evidence of fee
interest in the property for the GTS Housing (Blue Stem North) project. Motion carried 5-
0.
V. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Toomey, to adjourn the HRA meeting. Motion
carried 5-0. Chair Case adjourned the meeting at 7:06 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
