The Roseville Economic Development Authority on Nov. 10 received a full update of the city’s five active tax-increment financing (TIF) districts and approved a set of follow-up actions to preserve future housing and redevelopment options.

Community Development Director Janice Gunlock and Ehlers public-finance consultant Stacy Kilvane told the EDA the last full plan review was in 2020 and that the five active TIFs — including one housing TIF and four redevelopment districts (one with a hazardous‑substance subdistrict tied to Twin Lakes) — have driven substantial private investment and cleanup of contaminated sites. Kilvane said the districts together have seen roughly $280 million in increased taxable market value while the city has about $15 million in pay‑as‑you‑go obligations and bonds supporting redevelopment.

Kilvane outlined three recommendations and asked the EDA to preserve the option to elect an additional 10% of increment for affordable housing and pooling. That election would allow the city, if it later chooses, to extend TIF terms to collect more pooled dollars for housing and redevelopment. Kilvane noted the election can be made later in a district’s life but cannot be made after obligations have been paid and a district is decertified.

The EDA also acted on several staff proposals:

- Harbor at Twin Lakes (Roseville Leased Housing Associates 2): The board approved an amendment to the development agreement and a new TIF note to reimburse the developer for a full‑year tax payment the developer made after missing the state’s 4(d) filing deadline. Developer representative Rory Hogan said the miss was an administrative error; staff and the EDA agreed reissuing a TIF note to pass the increment back is an eligible use. The resolution passed unanimously.

- ATA Center LCDA subgrant: The EDA authorized entering into a subgrant agreement to pass through $297,000 in Met Council LCDA funds to support site, building and sustainability design for the proposed Ata Center, which would house the American Indian Family Center, Interfaith Action’s Department of Indian Work and a Montessori American Indian child care program.

- Professional services and programs: The board approved three‑year contract renewals for Ehlers (financial consulting), Golden Shovel (economic development marketing; Golden Shovel agreed to freeze its rate), Kennedy & Graven (legal), Center for Energy (loan origination and servicing) and a management relationship with the Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers for the business‑loan program.

- Administrative items: The EDA approved its 2026 calendar and authorized an amendment requested by the Met Council to broaden use and reporting of certain repaid forgivable loans so recovered funds can be redeployed to other affordable‑housing endeavors.

Staff said most of the city’s active districts do not have large immediate cash balances and that the recommendation to preserve the 10% election is a policy choice to keep future options available for housing or redevelopment. Kilvane emphasized that future councils could make different decisions once obligations are paid and districts approach decertification.

The EDA did not immediately allocate new pooled funds; it voted to preserve the procedural option and asked staff to return with materials in January to carry the conversation forward.
