Duane Northagen and Jim Thares
Duane explained that the Workforce Pathways effort has been using the past 8 to
10 months to survey and research the problem and organize a multi -faceted
solution and awareness effort addressing workforce issues. A monthly meeting
involving school district leaders, business managers, Workforce Center staff and
public officials have been able to outline a plan of creating a central resource with
its own website (Wheel). The next step is to finalize the Wheel and make it live
on the internet followed by holding meetings with businesses in each community
in the County at which time they can be introduced to school leaders regarding
opportunities to engage students through job shadowing and internships. The
Monticello meeting date has not been set yet.
7. Reports (Verbal Reports):
a. Economic Development
Jim Thares provided an update from Economic Development. In summary, he

47 units. At least 20 percent of the units will be affordable as required
under the TIF statutes government funding was provided. Per the housing
study, there is a need for 250 additional housing units. Brigg's
development is expected to be completed by May 2020.
• Headwater's Development has begun grading of their site. They are
building a 92 -unit senior living facility.
Thares also provided the prospect list. He explained that Project Novus which has
been on the list since 2017 is UMC's expansion. He noted that they would like to
purchase the property to the east. They would build a new 40,000 square foot facility
with the total investment reaching about $9,000,000. The completion of the project is
projected to include an additional 60 jobs. Thares also discussed that in order for the
land to be purchased it will require TIF and possibly tax abatement. A land transfer
would also occur with the City for a 20 -acre piece of residential development
property that is on Edmonson.
Thares also summarized the request from Ausco Design. They are running out of
space at their current facility and have located a better suited site. The expansion
would include an additional three jobs. They are looking for gap financing.

5. Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park Development (JT)
The IEDC has identified support for the continued development of the Bertram Chain of
Lakes Regional Park, a joint county -city owner -operator venture, as part of its 2019
Action Statements. The Park is a multi-purpose combo athletic facility (soccer, lacrosse
and baseball) operated by the City. These facilities tie into the natural passive and
conservation area featuring lakes, wetlands, woods, hiking -biking trails and campground,
operated and maintained by Wright County. The YMCA also operates a camp and
chalet.
The City has budgeted $2,500,000 for improvements in the next phase of development
activities related to the athletic facilities. Additional phases of development of soccer -
softball fields, parking lots and trails are planned in the years to come. The main fields
are useable right now and have hosted soccer games and small tournaments. Tom
Pawelk, City Parks Department, will present information and give a tour of the Park
facilities for the IEDC on Tuesday morning (9-24-19).
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
None required; information only
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
There is no staff recommendation as this is informational update. It is important though
