Resolution The 0.12-acre property is privately owned, situated at a key gateway into Metropolitan R-197-25 Square in Downtown Des Plaines, and was last occupied in 2017. The 4,400-square-foot building has been vacant since that time. The purchase of 1504 Miner Street is in direct alignment with the City's re:DDP Economic Development Strategy for Downtown Des Plaines, recently approved by the City Council. The site is directly across from the Downtown Des Plaines Metra stop, making it one of the first scenes a visitor or resident sees when stepping off the train. Within the re:DDP Plan, the 1500 block of Miner Street, inclusive of this property, was identified as an opportunity site for future redevelopment. It also scored high regarding the main evaluation criteria applied, including: a.) expand destination and dining experiences, b.) energize and modernize the downtown, c.) create a sense of place, and d.) identification that a share of City investment would be needed. The City Council previously directed the City Manager to negotiate with the property owner to acquire the property for economic development and downtown revitalization purposes. The City has negotiated a purchase price of $1,100,000 for the property. Funding for the purchase would come from the facilities fund. Potential uses and project costs for the property, including remodeling of the existing building or demolition and construction of a new building, would be presented to the City Council at a later date Page 7 of 10 10/6/2025 Alderman Moylan expressed his support in the purchase of this property.

CONSIDER Director of Community and Economic Development, Jeff Rogers, reviewed a memorandum TERMINATING TIF dated September 30, 2025. #5 Tax increment financing (TIF) funding is an incentive method used to better the economic Ordinance conditions of a specified area. TIF freezes the assessed valuation of a given area for a period M-24-25 of time. The development that subsequently occurs in the area results in an increase in the valuation of the district. The taxes on the incremental increase in valuation are deposited into a segregated fund of the City, which in turn utilizes those funds to provide incentives for the initial and additional development in that district. On April 2, 2001, pursuant to the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4- 1 et seq. ("TIF Act"), the City Council of the City of Des Plaines adopted Ordinance M-19-01, titled "An Ordinance Approving the City of Des Plaines Cook County, Illinois, Tax Increment Redevelopment Project Area Redevelopment Plan and Project Area No. 5." The City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance M-20- 01, titled "An Ordinance Adopting Tax Increment Financing for the City of Des Plaines, Cook County, Illinois." Finally, the City Council adopted Ordinance M-21-01, titled "An Ordinance Designating the Des Plaines, Illinois, Tax Increment Redevelopment Project Area No. 5." The three Ordinances effectively approved the redevelopment plan and project, designated a redevelopment project area, adopted tax increment financing, and established a special tax allocation fund for the redevelopment project known as "TIF District No. 5" ("TIF District") The TIF District is located at Lee Street and Perry Street. This TIF District was contiguous with TIF District No. 1, which comprised the City's downtown core. The TIF District lies north of the Metropolitan Square development and is improved with a portion of a grocery store, an outlet improved with a parking lot and circulation area for a bank, and a vacant lot north of Lee Street.
