Title:
Responsible Contractor Acknowledgment for TIF Projects
Purpose/Background:
Previously, the City Council had discussions regarding Responsible Contractors as defined in Minn Stat 16C, subd. 3. As a whole, the City Council supports projects with city financial assistance to abide by the MN Statute.
Staff worked with the City Attorney to create language that could be added to the application for projects seeking Tax Financing Assistance acknowledging that they meet the criteria to be a "Responsible Contractor."
The proposed language to be added to the Business Assistance Application page 5 (signature page) reads:
"If Applicant is applying for Tax Financing Assistance with the City, then by checking the box below, the Applicant acknowledges and agrees that they meet the minimum criteria to be a "Responsible Contractor" as defined in Minn. Stat. 16C.285, subd. 3." A box to be checked would be added to the application.
