suggested were changes in he local tax structure and
extension of the nuclear pIa t license. potential speaker
suggested were Peter Gillete, TED Commissioner; Chuck Larson
or Leon Eliason, NSP; and Jo n Envy, Bondhus Corporation.
The committee felt that the p' ogram may become too long and
decided to invite Peter Gi lete or John Envy with the
understanding they may be asked to say a few words. The sit-
down dinner will consist of th ee menu choices with individual
ticket price at $75.00 per erson and $25.00 for spouse.

7. CONSIDERATION TO HEAR UPDATE F PROSPECT LIST:
a) AROPLAX CORPORATION T e company is awaiting bank
commitment for the SBA fundi g. The company's financials
appear to be strong as the OMNI board accepted the SBA
application for review and Igave it preliminary approval
without a bank's commitment wlich has never happened before.
Banks reviewing the project I re Norwest Camden and Wright
County State Bank. Upon ban~ commitment will the SBA board
give final approval, hopeful~ in late July. TIF has been

between the IDC and Shingobee should be completed and ready
for marketing after the City Council Public Hearing on July
22, 1991. The Council will e asked to open and close the
public hearing based on the assumption that no negative
comments are heard. The re ommendation is for Council to
table the adoption of the estblishment of TIF District
No. 1-13 until a qualified Ie see is found. Reason for the
recommendation is to maximi e the life of the economic
district thereby collecting t e maximium tax increment. Yet
to be received is a copy 0 the land commitment between
Shingobee and the Oakwood Par~nership. Mr. Lungwitz reported
that the terms have been ag eed upon by both parties and

the adjoining property. Mr. Dahlquist reported the need to
sell their existing property on Highway 100 and Highway 7

a start-up industrial business interested in Monticello. The
company has developed a prototpe wheelchair which can be used

demonstration. The principal f the company, Mr. Ted Trkla,
has presented the concept at a Business Development Services'
Networking Venture Workshop a d the communities of Redwood
Falls and Cannon Falls are ver interested in the prototype.
Mr. Philbrook expressed his dis-satisfaction of the BDS
program and the cost to them f $1,200 associated with that
program. Monticello has not contracted with BDS for this
program, therefore, Koropchak contacted Mr. Earl Netwal1 of
BDS to verify any conflict 0 interest and for background
information of the start-up c mpany. Upon further inquiry
wi th a few IDC members, Korop hak has not followed through
with any additional contact wi h Mr. Philbrook. Mr. Lungwitz

financial package recommendat~on.
j) BURT INDUSTRIES, INC. - Mr. Sig Magnuson is interested in
relocating his metal fabric tion business from Hendrum,
Minnesota to the outer metro imits. The company currently
employs four welders and anti ipates ten workers within two
years. The company welds, b nds, stamps, and paints steel
wi th the production of park & recreation equipment, work
tables, etc. Their need is for as, 000 to 7,000 sq ft
leaseable industrial facili y. Koropchak referred Mr.
Magnuson to Jay Morrell for p tential leaseable space.
.
k) G & G OIL EQUIPMENT - Koropchak reported that Mr. Art Speck
contacted her office regardi g the company's interest to
relocate their business to one central location. The company
currently has facilities in laine (5 acres) and Hugo (3
acres) of which the City of Baine is not receptive of their
business. The five year old c mpany would construct a 30,000
sq ft facility consisting of 4 000-5,000 sq ft office and the
remaining portion manufacturin /warehouse. Current number of
jobs is 33 and they anticip te no new jobs immediately.
Annual payroll of $750,000. T e company refurbishes and sales
used gas station pumps. Throu h the refurbishing process the
company uses a water base pai t, a vegetable testing fluid,
and is a low user of utilities and power. The company markets
nationally and internationally and has customers such as Exxon
and Shell. Mr. Speck said tha when a used pump comes in for
refurbishing there is between to 8 ounces of gas in the pump
which is pumped into an under round tank. The company does
need outdoor storage.
At this time, Koropchak has m iled information of Monticello
and industrial site maps w'th the suggestion to visit
Monticello and meet with sta f and IDC members to further
discuss the nature of their business. Mr. Speck is very
receptive for staff or IDC m mbers to visit their existing
facilities. No financial i centives have been mentioned.
Koropchak expects to hear fro Mr. Speck very soon to set up
a Monticello visit and she; will notify IDC promotional
commi ttee members of the meeting. Ken Maus felt the EPA
guidelines for construction f such a new facility would
reduce or limit the concerns 0 environmental issue regarding
any potential spillage of asoline (soil contamination).
Koropchak reminded IDC members that the city's benefit for use
of TIF on this development c n control and assist with the
requirements for outdoor stor ge screening costs.

with the Norwegian board of irectors in May. Mayor Maus,
Arve Grimsmo, Pat Pelstring and Koropchak attended. The

results of the meeting w re postive with a clearer
understanding of the differen es between Norway's and our tax
structures. In Norway, if a company is a start-up and
struggling, the company taxesi are forgiven which is not the
case in the US. Mr. Pelstting suggested the company not
disregard the submission of a Minnesota Recovery Grant upon
their planned expansion. The -Window Company is no longer a
start-up company and is an est blished Minnesota company which
will have a major impact 0 the funding decision. Mr.
Pelstring has provided a writ en summary to board members on
available financing. Mr. Lemm and Koropchak visited Mr. Doug
Gruber, County Assessor, and w re able to reduce the estimated
market value on the vacant I t and a small portion of the
building. The City Council ha approved holding the six small
city industrial lots adjoinin The H-Window Company property
through December 1992. The N rwegian directors will be in a
much better position to determ ne the future of the company at
year end 1992 and were concern d about the potential of being
landlocked. Total land for development is now 20 acres.
Potential expansion is to do, b1e the size of the current
facility in 1993. The company sees the potential of sales in
10 to 15 years which would req ire a 300,000 sq ft building.
m) STEINWALL, INC. - Koropchak called Maria Steinwall for an
update of the company's decisi n to relocate from the Fridley
location. This plastic inject on molding company was looking
to construct a 25,000 sq ft fa ility. Ms. Steinwall says due
the war and the recession, the company is not in position to
consider relocation and exp nsion at this time. She
subscribes to the Monticello T mes and indicated upon reading
the newspaper that if the Aroplax Corporation (direct
competition) receives the req ired financing and locates in
Monticello, she would eliminate Monticello as a potential site
location.
n) TAPPER'S INC. - Mr. Lungwitz!reported that Tapper's and the
bank have an agreement to pr vide to the OMNI board which
would allow closing of the SBA loan. Koropchak said she had
met with Lance and Kevin, and ance reported that Genereux's
had a tough year because f the economy, moving and
relocation, and the expense of the monthly lease payments on
the St. Michael building. The lease payment ended the 1st of
June as the building has new ccupants. Cabinet sales have
picked up, Westlund has picked,up a major account, and a new
sales person has been hired. A I Tapper loans are up-to-date
and current.

In addition to the Mainstreet Improvement
Project and awilable incentives, Hopkins has
several other downtown redevelopment pro-
jects on the drawing board. The city is work-
ing with Minneapolis-based Ryan Construc-
tion Co. of Minnesota Inc. on a retail project
that would include a 38,000 square foot
grocery store and about 15,000 square feet of
. space on Mainstreet between Sixth and
ighth Avenues. The city would clear the
ve-acre site and sell it back to the developer.
armening says that the city and Ryan Con-
s ction still need to work out some details
the project.
Also proposed for downtown is a four-
s reen, second-run movie theater by
. innetonka-based Marcus Corp. The
ntown . site being considered for the
eater, which will show discount movies, is
Eighth Avenue, just south of Mainstreet.

city services to be consistently
strong and its officials willing
to listen. The good life in
Owatonna makes it easy to
sell new employees as well as
our customers. We are very
proud to be a part of this pro-
gressive and growing..
