5. CONSIDERATION TO AUTHORIZE OWN RSHIP OF THE ID FREEWAY SIGN
TO THE CITY OF MONTICELLO.
A. BACKGROUND AND REFERENCE.
Based on a recommendation by R n Hoglund, Dale Lungwitz, Jeff
Hoglund, and Ollie Koropchak; he selective site for the ID
sign installation is at Fallon Avenue and Interstate 94.
Jeff Hoglund has staked the si e (appropriate footage from
the property lines) and NSP an Bridgewater Telephone have
located underground lines. Be ause the sign is within the
City Corporate limits and is ithin the City sign ordinance,
only, application for a permit is necessary. The City of
Monticello approves the site ocation, however, Mr. Gary
Pringle and Mr. John Franzen ecommend the ownership of said
sign be tranferred to the Cit of Monticello, with the IDC
maintaining maintenance respo sibilites. Two reasons for
this: legalities and insuran Since the sign will be
located in the right of way ( ity property), ownership of
sign is desired for City insu ance coverage. The City will
maintain a barricade at the e d of the paved road. The
sign is completed and ready f r installation.

Subcommittee members present w re Monticello Administrator
Tom Eidem, Big Lake Administra or Bill King, Jack Peach,
Dave Peterson, Harvey Kendall, and Ollie Koropchak. The
subcommittee interviewed Mr. T m Creighton of O'C~nnor and
Hannan as the law firm to deve op an Airport Joint Powers
Agreement. Mr. Creighton info med the subcommittee of O'Connor
and Hannan's history, policies, and expertise. Mr. Creighton
has experience in drawing-up j int powers agreements such as
for the Rite Cable TV which bo h Monticello and Big Lake are
participates. The joint powers is an agreement between com-
munities and in the case of an airport agreement this means
cities will delegate away uneq al portions of their city
powers. Number of votes per city may be determined by pop-
ulation, property valuation, etc. Mr. Creighton stressed the
importance of trust between co munities and City Councils.
Estimated time to draw up an greement is about six weeks
involving two or three meetin Mr. Creighton indicated he
would be the contact person, owever, an associate would do
the research (4-5 hours). Co t: Associate $65.00 per hour,
Mr. Creighton $95.00 per hour. (Does not include cost for
hearings, filing fees, courteporter fees, etc.). Estimated
normal hours for an agreement preparation is 27 hours. He
expressed the policy must be ellable to the public, as the
most controversial issue will be the economic impact the
airport will have on the surr unding communities.
The subcommittee's recommenda ion is for therespactiveCity
Councils (Monticello and Big ake) to each allocate $1,300.00
for the development of an air ort joint powers agreement be-
tween Monticello and Big Lake preparation of agreement by
Mr. Tom Creighton of O'Connor; and Hannan. The subcommittee
agreed to proceed with the jo nt powers agreement without
Becker's participation at thi time, since no representative
from Becker has attended a su committee meeting. The sub-
committee felt they have acte' in good faith, extending equal
invitations to the three comm nities. Becker does have the
option to join at a later dat. Plans are for the City
Administrators to present the proposal to their .respective
City Councils at their ear-lip. t Council-meetip.g$.

Sometime ago, the HRA and the ity Council approved the Tax

preparation on the development agreement between the Monticello
HRA and Construction Five. Co struction Five plans to build
a 24-unit apartment complex an a 30-unit apartment complex
on Block 1, Construction Fiveddition. The District was
created not to bond for the pu 'chase of land but to bond for
the street construction, sanit ry sewer and watermain, and
storm sewer. The District has been certified by the County.
IXI Laboratories, Inc.
On two previous occasions, I ha e met with Mr. Tim Fitzgerald,
newly appointed Vice President of Operations for IXL Mr.
Fitzgerald has informed me of lXI's plan to consolidate their
entire Monticello operations to the home office in Hopkins.
Target date for the completed consolidation is Fall '86.
Tentative plans call for an equipment auction to be held the
end of July at the Monticello plant. At present, approximately
twelve employees remain on staff at the Monticello facility.
As Economic Development Director, I will work with IXI to
fill their 50,000 square foot b i1ding. The building is
available for purchase or lease. Presently, Mr. Fitzgerald
has provided me with the bui1di g description but I haven't
received a purchase price nor lease agreement or options.
.
On the advise of Mr. Bob Deike of Holmes & Graven, the cert-
ificate of completion for Lot 7, Block 3, Oakwood Industrial
Park should be authorized if warranted. Second, the proper
channels should be taken to ins re that the proposed tax
increment will be generated and collected over the life span
of the District. These proced 'res are in process. I have

extended an invitation to Mr. itzgera1d to attend the IDC

FSI - warehouse expansion in Big Lake, however, a
Monticello expansion is still planned.
WebAmerica - expansio to Mr. Bidwell meant increase
in number of employees. In February he had 14 employees,
and now has 31 employees.
Several people within the community and the IDC have become
concerned about the City's incentives and attitudes toward
industrial development or expansion. A recap of the
survey indicated four industries or 1/3 of the industries
visited expressed concerns about the City code requirements.
Since that time another co pany has expressed the rigid
code requirements for indu trial development or expansion.
Listed below are specific oncerns:
.
.
IDC Agenda - 8/21/86
* Parking lot and land caping (Electro Industries)
* Curbing and building permit fees (Bondhus Corporation)
* Curbing and parking lot (WebAmerica)
* Parking lot (Larson fg. )
* Black top surface versus gravel for warehouse (FSI, 8/18/86)
* No city incentives vor business retention (Wrightco, 7/16/86)
(Wrightco almost moved to Little Falls, as no city
incentives wer offered be help compensate their
water-sewer prblem).
* Low water pressure 'n the Oakwood Industrial Park
(IXI and Larson Mfg.)
I'm not suggesting the City code requirements be torn out,
however, I believe it's tim to address these issues.
1. Are some of the Ci y code requirements too rigid for
I-lor 1-2?
.
2. Does the Committee want further evaluation of Indust-
rial codes by comp rison with other community codes?
3. Does the IDC suppo t that each company's need should
be addressed indiv dually, and if valid, agree that
support should be iven to the company?
