Resolution Providing for the Creation of Tax Increment Financing District
Number Nine (9), City of Brookings
Whereas, the Planning Commission has recommended the District Boundaries for Tax
Increment Financing District Number Nine, City of Brookings, and has recommended its
creation; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings has the powers, pursuant to SDCL 11-9-2, to create Tax
Increment Financing District Number Nine, City of Brookings, and to define its

Now, Therefore, It Is Hereby Resolved:
1. Authority and Declaration of Necessity. The City of Brookings declares the
necessity for the creation of Tax Increment Financing District Number Nine, City
of Brookings (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "District"), pursuant to
SDCL Chapter 11-9. Further, the City finds that the improvement of the area
within the District is likely to enhance significantly the value of substantially all of
the other real property in the District and is necessary for economic development
within the city.
2. Findings of Blight. The City Council makes the following findings with regard to
blight:
a. More than 25% of the property in the District is a blighted area;
b. Improvements to the District will significantly and substantially enhance
the value of all property within the District;
c. A majority of the property within the District which is suitable for
development is currently unplatted and not serviceable with public
infrastructure;
d. The aggregate assessed value of the District plus the tax incremental
base of all other existing Districts in the city does not exceed Ten ( 1 0%)
percent of the total assessed valuation in the City.
e. The District is predominantly open bare land void of site improvements,
that impairs the sound growth of the City.
f. There exist inadequate street layouts and storm sewer which retard the
provision of industrial accommodations.
g. The District constitutes a blighted area as defined in SDCL Chapter 11-9.
3. Findings of Maximum Percentage of Tax Increment Financing Districts. The
aggregate assessed value of the taxable property in the District, plus all other
tax incremental districts, does not exceed Ten (10%) percent of the total
assessed valuation of the City of Brookings.
