Prior to these applications for consideration, twenty- five grants have been awarded to small businesses. Thares noted that all of the grant applicants are eligible. Thares mentioned a correction to the staff report in which it called out two businesses for not meeting the employee count. It was noted in the grant guidelines that the business must have between 2 and 45 employees prior to the executive order by the Governor. Both Finders Keepers and HandleBars Barbershop were noted in compliance with the grant guidelines. If all applications were approved for this cycle in the amount of $5,000, the remaining balance would be $35,000. There would be one more grant cycle for small businesses to apply for the funds with the EDA review on 10-28-20. Staff recommended approval of the grant applications. Steve Johnson asked if all of these businesses have demonstrated that their expenses have exceeded their revenues. Thares confirmed that all of the businesses showed significant revenue impacts. Tracy Hinz asked if the EDA could e�tend the deadline to apply for the grants. Thares noted that the funding has to be reviewed and approved by November 15th. With the November EDA meeting falling on the lOth, that will mean that the October 28, 2020 is the final opportunity for consideration of grant applications. Hinz asked how the November 15 deadline was determined. Thares indicated that was a Federal Government deadline that the money needs to be spent by or turned back to the County.

Johnson confirmed that the grant money was all coming from the Federal Government rather than the EDA's GMEF loan fund. Thares stated that one grant (Monticello Chamber of Commerce & Industry) would not be reimbursed through the CARES Act funding. They are organized under a different non-profit statute. All other grants are being funded by the CARES Act dollars. Jim Davidson asked for clarification that after the CARES Act funding deadline has passed, could the EDA vote to continue the EDA program using the GMEF loan fund. Economic Development Authority Minutes — October 14�', 2020 Page 2 � 5 Thares confirmed. Lloyd Hilgart noted that the EDA originally approved $100,000 for the program. Hilgart asked staff to check in with the Chamber due to the impacts of the pandemic on their specific organization. MOTION CARRIED, 7-0. 6. Consideration of Acceptin� 2020 Comprehensive Housin� Needs and Market Demand Studv Report Economic Development Director's Report Jim Thares noted that the draft Housing Study is now complete. The Housing Study began in June, 2020 by MSA Professionals. Thares introduced Matt Frater, MSA Professionals, who was joining the meeting remotely and reviewing the report for the EDA. Matt Frater reviewed the main points of the Executive Summary of the Housing Study including background information, general findings, rental & ownership findings and demand projections over the ne�t five years. Frater noted that the Housing Study incorporated public engagement into the plan including a community survey, interviews with stakeholders, and a community conversation about housing was held. Data was the driving force of this plan, though it was balanced with community engagement comments. Major data sources included American Community Survey, HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, and Multiple Listing Service. It was noted that the median single-family home may not be affordable to the median income household in the ne�t year due to increasing unaffordability and appreciation values in the market. Lloyd Hilgart asked if that is happening in other communities. Frater stated that homes are appreciating drastically all across the United States from urban to rural communities. It was noted that the purchase cost per square foot has increased faster in Monticello than in any of the other studied peer communities. Hilgart asked if the study takes into account that Monticello generally has a smaller square footage new construction home, which is why the price seems higher. Frater confirmed. Hilgart mentioned the importance of reviewing the numbers in the coming years as in the past the City has not received many new subdivisions, but that this was beginning to change. Hilgart also thought more about the square footage price and if it took into account lot size and home size. Frater responded that there is a desire and demand from stakeholders for increased options. Frater also added that the numbers are models based on projections. Frater indicated that he would discuss the square footage price questions with his colleagues and relay any new information to staff. He believed the numbers were based on building size and excluded lot size. Steve Johnson asked if the plan factored in markets surrounding Monticello including Sherburne County and Monticello Township. Frater responded that this theme was heard from stakeholders and has been factored into the plan. There are people that want large Economic Development Authority Minutes — October 14�', 2020 Page 3 � 5 lots and specific type of home on these lots. Demand calculations take into account what has been seen in the City itself and projects needs based on that. There was feedback from residents of Monticello looking for large lot and home development, but still living within the city limits. Jon Morphew asked how the historically low interest rate factors into the demand calculations. Frater confirmed that historically low interest rates have an impact on the housing market and could alter some of the numbers in the study, but he believed they would likely not make a huge difference. Frater pointed out that where historically low interest rates impact the most are the increase in cost and competition of existing homes. Tracy Hinz mentioned the information presented regarding the high cost of new construction rental properties, especially as it relates to people that cannot afford high rents. It was important for the EDA to be mindful and tap into resources to meet the demand for low income housing demand. Frater noted the importance of balancing the whole spectrum of the market. Johnson related the discussion the importance of having a workforce at all income levels. It was noted that the Planning Commission was invited to attend the discussion of the Housing Study. Sam Murdoff asked if the study takes into account recently completed projects. Frater explained there are data limitations that exist. In demand calculations, all of the units that are in-process or have been constructed are factored into the study because it is based on growth. Angela Schumann noted the direct correlation and its importance to the draft Comprehensive Plan update. Johnson asked if the plan was to fold the Housing Study into the Comprehensive Plan utilizing data points that would inform goals for zoning and land use suited for housing developments. Schumann responded that the Housing Study supports the draft goals, policies, and strategies in the Comprehensive Plan. She mentioned that they would incorporate some of the broad findings into the public hearing draft and refer to the Housing Study as an appendix to the Comprehensive Plan for reference. Thares mentioned that a few minor edits would be incorporated to the final plan, but asked that the EDA accept the final draft of the report. The City's website would be updated to replace the 2017 plan and the Study would be disbursed to housing developers and other interested parties. BILL TAPPER MOVED TO ACCEPT THE 2020 HOUSING NEEDS AND MARI�ET DEMAND STUDY. OLLIE KOROPCHAK-WHITE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 7-0. 7. Economic Development Director's Report Jim Thares provided the Economic Development Director's Report as indicated in the staff report. Economic Development Authority Minutes — October 14�', 2020 Page 4 � 5 Thares provided an additional update item related to Block 52. He noted that the Beard Group reluctantly submitted its 10-day notice of termination of the preliminary development agreement due to an impasse in material conditions. No further action is required by the EDA per the direction of the EDA attorney. 011ie Koropchak-White asked what the status of purchasing the Preferred Title building. Thares noted that would be an item to discuss in a closed meeting. Tracy Hinz asked for clarity on ne�t steps for the redevelopment of Block 52. Thares noted that a future workshop meeting would be scheduled to review ne�t steps and to determine if any modifications should be made to the vision for the block and downtown plan. Thares added that there originally were three other developers interested in the Block Thares explained that he has talked to each of those developers and has agreed to provide a summary status update to each of them about redevelopment efforts in the block. Lloyd Hilgart noted that the EDA should push advertisement on the properties that the EDA owns and include information on the size of these properties and the type of use that would go there. Tapper indicated that he thought that the EDA needed to get the land procured and then push marketing for Block 52. 8. Closed Session — Consideration of Recessin� to Closed Session to Develop or Consider Offers or Counter-Offers for the Purchase or Sale of Real or Personal Propertv Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13D.05, Subdivision 3(c)(3).

Thares noted that Salon Glitz & Glam varied from the grant guidelines and has only one employee prior and since the pandemic. Negative financial impacts were identified by the business owner. Staff recommended approval of all three grant applications, noting their commitment of service to Monticello over the past years. To date, 33 grants have been approved. Thares noted that this is the last round of approved grants through CARE's funding. Thares noted that GMEF or additional EDA funding could allow the grant program to continue if the EDA so chooses beyond this time. Steve Johnson asked if staff anticipated any future applications. Thares noted that he felt staff have contacted most businesses that they feel would be eligible. Thares added that staff did receive one application during this round that was deemed non-eligible because they were located in Buffalo. Thares explained that another hair salon may be interested in applying, but was not apply to submit by the deadline. Thares recommended a budget review at an upcoming workshop to discuss the future of the program. Economic Development Authority Minutes — October 28�', 2020 Page 1 � 3 JON MORPHEW MOVED TO APPROVE SMALL BUSINESS EMERGENCY GRANT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE EDA AND SALON GLITZ & GLAM; THE HAIRDRESSER 1NC.; AND LUCILLE MURRAY'S STUDIO OF DANCE (LMSD, LLC) IN THE AMOLJNT OF $5,000 TO MITIGATE COVID-19 ECONOMIC 1MPACTS. OLLIE KOROPCHAK-WHITE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 6. Consideration of a recommendation on the Economic Development chapter of the Monticello 2040 Comprehensive Plan Angela Schumann noted that the Planning Commission is holding a Public Hearing for consideration of the updated comprehensive plan on November 2, 2020. Schumann noted the importance of the EDA's recommendation of the Economic Development draft chapter including the goals, strategies, and policies to the Planning Commission. Schumann explained that the process started with a community visioning exercise which outlined the direction in which the comprehensive plan should go. Schumann noted that the draft plan was a cumulative effort of the Technical Advisory Committee (EDA representative: Jon Morphew) and many other stakeholders. A community workshop was held to provide final comment prior to formal adoption. The EDA was also able to set initial direction and tone for the Economic Development chapter and later on provide feedback on a draft. Schumann noted that many of the goals, strategies, policies identified in the plan are items that were discussed in workshop sessions and annual work plans. Some of the goals also carry forward from the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Staff are comfortable with the draft that it reflects the direction of the EDA and is consistent with the community's vision. Jon Morphew felt the plan turned out really well and appreciated the public input. Bill Tapper noted that Goal 1: Business Attraction and Retention is missing from the implementation strategies. Schumann would ensure that got corrected. Morphew noted he was glad that the new Housing Study would be incorporated into the plan. Morphew identified a typographical error on one of the pages and it was noted that it would be corrected.

Gromberg highlighted project updates in the following areas: Project Gia-Saurus, the new industrial park discussions, and the draft comprehensive plan update. Gromberg also discussed current economic trends. Gromberg asked staff if the remaining EDA CARES Act funding would have to be returned if not spent and if it could be spent on other economic development assistance. Thares noted that the CARES Act funding would need to be spent by November 15, 2020. The City of Monticello awarded the EDA $200,000 for business assistance programs. Thares noted that the City has a long list of other eligible expenses, but that time was running out. Gromberg encouraged the City to use all of the CARES Act funding. Thares discussed how the cities of Hutchinson and Sartell utilized CARES Act funding. Jim Gromberg would provide a subsequent economic development report in 90 days. 8. Economic Development Director's Report Jim Thares provided the Economic Development Director's Report as provided in the packet. Thares mentioned a variety of upcoming discussions during a future workshop meeting(s) that would focus on Block 52, Project Gia-Saurus, the 2021 work plan, and the marketing strategy/sale of EDA owned properties. A workshop to discuss some of these items would tentatively be scheduled prior to the regular meeting on November 10. Another workshop could be scheduled either later in the month or in December to ensure all topics are reviewed. Angela Schumann also encouraged the EDA to participate in an online survey for Round 2 engagement for the Framework 2030 plan by the Central Mississippi River Regional Planning Partnership.

Consideration of Approving Small Business Emergencv Grant Agreements in the Amount of $5,000 to TMC & J Tavlor Corp. dba Beef O' Bradv's and Bodv Rhvthms Wellness Inc. to Mitigate COVID-19 Economic Impacts (JaT/JT) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The EDA is being asked to consider approving the final, tenth batch of applications to the Small Business Emergency Grant Program. The EDA approved the Small Business Emergency Grant Program and a funding source at its regular May 27, 2020 meeting. The Grant Program was set up with $100,000 as an initial emergency assistance fund, utilizing the Greater Monticello Enterprise Fund (GMEF) Loan program. The original emergency grant fund program was set up to provide a total of 20 grants in the amount of $5,000 each. Funding provided to the City of Monticello through the Federal Government's CARES Act also allows direct assistance to be provided to businesses impacted by COVID-19 pandemic response efforts. The EDA took action at its July 22, 2020 meeting, authorizing an Interfund Loan to reimburse its GMEF account for all grants approved prior to July 22, 2020 (total of $85,000). The companion City Council CARES Act resolution, adopted on July 27, 2020, authorized the EDA to utilize up to $200,000 of CARES Act funding for its emergency grant assistance program, or a total of 40 grants in the amount of $5,000 each. Two (2) new Grant Assistance applications were received for consideration. Please see the table below. Name of Business Tvae of Business # of Emplovees Amount of Grant TMC & J Taylor Corp. Restaurant 19 $5, 000 Body Rhythms Wellness Massage Therapy 2 $5, 000 Staff have reviewed the applications (attached) for completeness and adherence to the program guidelines. It should be noted that the TMC & J Taylor Corp. application does not completely adhere to the grant guidelines set forth by the EDA. Their application submittal indicates CY 2019 gross revenue of over one million dollars. The EDA has the flexibility to deviate from the Grant Guidelines on a case by case basis if it so chooses. Also, to be noted, while Body Rhythms Wellness Inc. application form shows only one FTE employee, the attached letter description of the business and the COVID-19 impacts indicates that a second message therapist rents space in the location as well. Under the grant program guidelines, a rental arrangement such as this is counted as an employee of the business for eligibility purposes. Both applicants do provide evidence of significant negative financial impacts due to the pandemic. They also described ways of pulling through and becoming innovative with their respective businesses to keep them running. Staff would request consideration of approving both grant requests. Staff also recognize these businesses' importance to downtown Monticello and that they have been serving the community for more than 10 years. A summary grant review evaluation spreadsheet is also included to help the EDA in its review and discussion at the meeting. 1 EDA Agenda: 11/10/20 The EDA has already approved thirty-six (36) grants or $180,000 in total funding since the creation of the grant program. This is the final opportunity to utilize CARES Act funding for the EDA's grant program. In the future, the EDA could consider utilizing the Greater Monticello Enterprise Fund (GMEF) as a source for additional grant funding if the impacts of the pandemic continue negatively impacting small businesses and there is further interest by the business community. Al. STAFF IMPACT: Staff time involved in considering the grant request involves the work related to reviewing the applications and preparing the staff report for the EDA meeting. The EDA's legal counsel provided a grant agreement template which is also attached to the Staff Report. A2. BUDGET IMPACT: The budget impact from considering approving two (2) Small Business Emergency Grants is in disbursing an additional amount of $10,000 from the Emergency Grant Assistance Program. This is the final payment of CARES Act funding for the EDA's grant program. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: L Motion to approve Small Business Emergency Grant Agreements between the EDA and TMC & J Taylor Corp. dba Beef O' Brady's and Body Rhythms Wellness Inc. in the amount of $5,000 to mitigate COVID-19 economic impacts. 2. Motion to deny approval of Small Business Emergency Grant Agreements between the EDA and TMC & J Taylor Corp. dba Beef O' Brady's and Body Rhythms Wellness Inc. in the amount of $5,000 to mitigate COVID-19 economic impacts. 3. Motion of other. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #1. It should also be noted that if the grants are approved, they are not considered a"business subsidy" as defined in state statutes. The program guidelines require the grant recipients to provide a brief follow-up report back to the EDA describing how the funding was used. D. SUPPORTING DATA: A. TMC & J Taylor Corp. Application B.

See Minnesota Statutes, Sections 13.591, Subd. 1 and 2. 11/��Z��c Body Rhythms — Celina McKenzie BCTMB, LMT, CR, CIMT, VSTCP, RYT-200 My massage business has been in Monticello for the last eleven years (in my third location). I just expanded into a larger space and renovated to include a couple of other options for my clients and the community in March of 2019. I have a yoga studio, large classroom for both Massage Therapists (continued education) and the community (self-care classes). I have a renter inside one of my massage therapy rooms and we share our client load to accommodate the client's scheduling needs. I work 5-6 days a week and my revenue in 2019 was 89,593.81 and currently I am down by almost SO%, 46,230.35 for the year. I was shut down in March 2020 and was shut down for four months. We have not been able to offer classes for yoga or massage since March. I been making some new products to try and supplement for some loss. I currently have 3 more years on my ►ease and am hopeful to pull out of this rut. So many clients have yet to return due to the covid-19 scare. Since we work hands-on our clients or assist with tableside instruction we are severely affected by the shut down and reopening has been ever-so eye opening...People hold on to the money vs. taking care of themselves. We offer techniques to reduce stress and this has been a crazy time to say the least. I have not renewed my membership with the chamber and let other necessities go for the time being. I have been working on a plan to add classes to our 2021 year and have added additional hours of operation to satisfy our customer's needs. I have implemented more time in between clients to ensure that each client has the space to walk in and out with out contacting others and to do more cleaning in between clients. We have always practiced good hygiene practices but have been forced to change some cleaning operations, this alone ensures longer working hours to see the same number of hours on the table. If I receive the grant, I plan on using it to pay unpaid bills and simply get caught up (at least more caught-up). I plan on renewing my chamber membership also. During the pandemic's shut down, I was able to receive a PPP loan for $8,000. They have not set a payment plan in place yet. Thank you for your consideration on this grant.

In March 2020, Governor Tim Walz issued a series of Emergency Executive Orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which closed public and private schools, closed bars, restaurants, and other places of accommodation and generally required Minnesotans to stay at home, while acknowledging that the State's response to the COVID-19 pandemic would result, either directly or indirectly, in the closure of many of Minnesota's businesses. B. In an effort to mitigate the economic distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to provide funding to States and local governments to cover costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. C. Guidance issued by the federal government provides that CARES Act funding is intended to cover a variety of costs incurred by State and local governments in responding to and mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 public health crisis, including expenses to enable compliance with public health measures such as facilitating distance learning and improving telework capabilities, and expenses associated with economic support, such as grants to businesses. D. Pursuant to federal and State guidelines established for expenditure of the CARES Act funding, Grantor has created its Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Program (the "Program") and has approved guidelines for the Program (the "Program Guidelines"), which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. E. Grantee has submitted an application for a grant (the "Grant Application") under the Program Guidelines, and Grantor has approved a grant to the Grantee in the amount of $ (the "Grant") to pay a portion of the expenses described in the Grant Application, in connection with Grantee's [kind of business, e.g. restaurant, salon, etc.] located at in the City of Monticello, Minnesota (the "City") (the "Grant Activities").

Consideration of Wright Countv Economic Development Partnership Update and approving 2021 Membership and Dues in the amount of $2,606 (JT) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: This item is an update of the Wright County Economic Development Partnership (WCEDP) activities during 2020 and also for consideration of approving the 2021 membership and annual dues in the amount of $2,606. The dues are unchanged from 2020. The EDA has been a member of the WCEDP for many years. In collaborating with and supporting the WCEDP, it brings the potential to leverage additional economic development funding for projects through the WCEDP Loan Program. The WCEDP also pays membership fees to organizations that allow the EDA-City to gain access to regional events held by MNCAR and CMMA. Collaboration on economic development efforts is a key strategy noted in the Draft Monticello 2040 + Comprehensive Plan in achieving local progress. Most recently, the WCEDP has been a critical partner in the evolving workforce development program, leading and collaborating with the local school district, businesses, the MN Workforce Center, technical schools and others on training job availability awareness building efforts. This will also be an opportunity to introduce Jolene Foss, the new WCEDP Executive Director, to the EDA (recall that Duane Northagen retired in early June 2020). She is expected to also briefly review the topic of the potential formation of an Economic Development Authority (EDA) in Wright County. Ms. Foss will attend the meeting remotely and answer questions that the EDA members have of her. County Commissioner Darek Vetsch may also join her in the remote call in to provide additional insights into the County Board's review process related to the formation of the EDA. Al. Staff Impact: There is minimal staff time involved in preparing the staff report for consideration of the 2021 annual WCEDP membership dues. A2. Budget Impact: Funds for the 2021 membership dues to the WCEDP amount to $2,606. These projected expenses were budgeted in the 2021 "Dues, Membership and Subscriptions" budget line, approved by the EDA in August 2020. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to approve the 2021 annual WCEDP membership dues in the amount of $2,606. 2. Motion to deny approval of the 2021 annual WCEDP membership dues in the amount of $2,606. Motion to table the approval of the 2021 annual WCEDP membership dues in the amount of $2,606 for further research and/or discussion. 2 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Alternative #1 wherein the 2021 Annual WCEDP Membership Dues are approved in the amount of $2,606. The 2021 membership dues are unchanged from 2020 and 2019. By participating in the WCEDP, the EDA benefits through marketing and networking opportunities, information sharing and collaborating in funding for development projects, and workforce training efforts that more effective on a large geographic scale. It should be noted that throughout 2020 as it has done over the past two years, the WCEDP made it a priority to focus its efforts in building awareness on workforce trends and strategies of how to address challenges.

Project Gia-Saurus Update: Task efforts related to Project Gia-Saurus have been organized into four areas and each is accompanied by a short summary of the work status below: 1. Legislative — in a standstill phase and monitoring COVID-19 stimulus discussions. 2. Federal and State funding programs — status of tasks awaits further direction related to a definitive site for the proposal. Funding would be primarily used for infrastructure which may or may not include a building. A Letter of Intent (LOI) or a PDA (Preliminary Development Agreement) must be entered into prior to submittal of funding applications to US-EDA. Industrial Land Feasibility Study — Completed by WSB. Study has been revised through add on Memos identifying full ultimate public infrastructure development costs. The Memo(s) still identify three viable sites with infrastructure costs ranging from $5,000,000 to $19,000,000. 4. Project and Process Review-Communications — Continuance of efforts to understand the desired development timeframe and deadlines. Also, additional collaborative efforts to introduce equity partners and/or willing large project lenders or developers capable of building and owning the building to Gel-X Corporation. A thorough review of company due-diligence information in detail is expected at the time of funding applications. A Draft Letter of Intent (LOI) has also been completed. The LOI contents and form will ultimately hinge on a final site determination. The Draft LOI will need a review by all involved parties in the coming weeks prior to formal consideration. Staff will continue to work on all various tasks for each of these tracks to keep moving the proposal forward. B. Workforce Development: Staff will be attending and participating in a meeting with School District leaders on November 17, 2020. Goal of the meeting is to further identify participants in the School's new Youth Internship Program (YIP) which they received funding for from Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) in the amount of $180,000 to be used over a 2-year period. C. UMC Expansion Project Update: Staff will be involved in grant funding drawdown discussions with UMC and MN-DEED on November 12, 2020. D.
