The Abatement is authorized under Abatement Law. 2. The Council expects the benefits to the City of the Abatement to at least equal or exceed the costs to the City thereof. 3.

Therefore, be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby approves the Abatement. The terms are as follows: 1. The Abatement shall be for up to a 15-year period, anticipated to commence for the taxes payable in the year 2023.

In accordance with M.S. § 469.1815 the City will add to its levy in each year during the term of the Abatement the total estimated amount of current year Abatement granted under this resolution. 4.
