Zach Adams, representative of Wright Sherburne Realty, addressed the HRA representing Leslie Delise, Cedar Street Garden Center. Delise is seeking to sell the land and buildings, although the value is essentially in the land. Adams noted that the Garden Center parcel is the largest contiguous piece in the downtown at 1.2 acres. Adams stated that it is the client's intent to propose the HRA purchase the property as a redevelopment opportunity. Adams stated that he had spoken with Allied properties in tenus of a possible project on their block. Allied had indicated that the timing wasn't right for their project due to monetary and parking concerns. Adams suggested that if the City could acquire the garden center property, it could be used to alleviate those issues for the Allied project. Adams reported that Allied couldn't purchase the property, but had indicated that they believes that when the time comes, they will be able to put something together. In summary, Adams stated that they are offering it to the HRA for purchase for parking. He indicated that it is listed at $459,900, for a per square foot cost ofless than $9.53. Fair asked Delise if she would open this year. Delise confirmed. Andrews asked how long she would need to make a transition. Delise explained that traffic pattern had already changed with recent commercial developments, so this was the first year that they hadn't been open all winter. The market has changed. Adams stated that leasing back would be an option. Schumann asked if she would relocate. Delise indicated that she wasn't sure, but most likely not. Wolfsteller asked what Allied owns on Block 35. Koropchak replied that they own the Times building, the old theater parking lot and the bank building. Adams stated that Allied essentially owns about 2/3 of the block. Andrews suggested that the HRA should take the matter under consideration, do some research and bring back the item back for discussion at the next meeting. Andrews thanked Adams and Delise for presenting the option to the HRA. Delise stated it has been 2 years since the first listing of the property. Frie asked if Delise required any kind of terms. Adams stated that as there are two owners of the property, she would prefer to cash out. Frie asked if the HRA did purchase the property, would she rent it back. Delise stated that she was unsure at this time. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FAIR TO PLACE CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF THE CEDAR STREET GARDEN CENTER PROPERTY ON THE MAY HRA AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION AND DECISION. 2 Andrews stated that research on the option needed to be done in the interim. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. 5. Consideration to approve a resolution adopting a modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Central Monticello Redevelopment Proiect No. I and establishing TIF District No. 1-38 therein and adopting a TIF Plan therefore. Applicant: Walker In- Store. Koropchak reported that the resolution the HRA is being asked to consider establishes a TIF district for a 5 acre, 1.5 acre developable site. Koropchak explained that all statutory requirements have been met and that the Planning Commission had approved their resolution supporting the land use as consistent with the plan. Koropchak stated that EWers' projections indicate that the district should generate $75,000 in increment. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ANDREWS TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE MODIFICATION TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR CENTERAL MONTICELLO REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. I AND ESTABLISHING TIF DISTRICT NO. 1-38 THEREIN AND THE ADOPTION OF THE TIF PLAN THEREFORE. MOTIONED SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. 6. Public Hearing on the Business Subsidv Agreement and Land Sale. a. Consideration to adopt a resolution approving the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the HRA and WRE, LLC including the business subsidy agreement and land sale. Koropchak stated that she had talked with the HRA attorney, who had spoken with WRE about the proposed changes. Koropchak reviewed the proposed changes. In section 3.6 referencing indemnification, Walker does not want to indemnify the City and HRA until after closing. Walker's attorney was adamant on this item. Frie asked if this was an disagreement between two attorneys. Frie noted that it is hard to get insurance on something you don't own. Koropchak stated that the HRA attorney didn't seem to have a good reason to keep it in. Andrews stated that perhaps the HRA could acquiesce on that item. Koropchak also explained that Walker's attorney had requested a change regarding capping the amount of expenses for creation of the district and 3 City project fees. The HRA Commissioners agreed that Walker should be required to pay actual costs. Koropchak explained that she had also further defined employment items to the applicant. That being that two part times jobs must equal 37.5 hours, and that a permanent employee is not temporary or seasonal. Koropchak noted that the applicant is purchasing 1.5 acres for $43,560. The balance of 4.6 acres Walker is getting at no cost due to power lines and ponding. Vice Chair Andrews opened the public hearing. Hearing no comment, Vice Chair Andrews closed the public hearing. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FAIR TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE AND REDEVELOPMETN CONTRACT BETWEEN THE HRA IN AND FOR THE CITY OF MONTICELLO AND WRE, LLC, INCLUDING THE BUSINESS SUBSIDY AND LAND SALE, WITH A CHANGE TO SECTION 3.6 OF THE CONTRACT, REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ANDREWS. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. b. Consideration to approve a resolution authorizing Interfund Loan for Advance of certain costs in connection with TIF District No. 1-38. Koropchak stated that the HRA is being asked to consider a resolution which approves a loan for certain costs for the district. The loan authorizing the HRA to advance funds of $152,460 with 8% interest rate. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FAIR TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERFUND LOAN FOR ADVANCE OF CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNESTION WITH TIF DISTRICT NO. 1-38. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ANDREWS. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. 7. Consideration to approve the election ofHRA officers and approve appointment of commissioner to subcommittees. Fair questioned whether Frie still intended to refrain from acting as chair in the coming year. Frie asked who would be chair in the rotation, should be choose to 4 W olfsteller stated that much of the report was put together by Senior Accountant Paula Mastey. He stated that the report provided to the HRA is somewhat different than the TIF reports that go to the state auditor. However, the revenues and expenditures are accurate for 2007. W olfsteller indicated that the one item that hadn't been completed is a break out of the main district downtown (1-22); most of the revenue and expenditures are listed together. Wolfsteller noted that the end total is correct. In summary, there is a net of almost $300,000 in all of the downtown districts combined. refrain. Koropchak stated that it would be Andrews. Fair asked if the new officer slate would be in effect as of July. Koropchak confirmed. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FRIE TO NOMINATE AND ELECT STEVE ANDREWS AS CHAIR AND BILL FAIR AS VICE CHAIR OF THE HRA FOR YEAR 2007, AND APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF RICK WOLFSTELLER AS SECRETARY-TRESURER FOR 2007. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FAIR. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. Koropchak reported that currently, Commissioners Lahr and Barger serve on the marketing committee, Commissioner Frie is the HRA representative to the Comp Plan Task Force and Commissioner Andrews serves on the Fiber Optics Committee. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ANDREWS TO ADOPT THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS TO COMMITTEES BASED ON 2006 APPOINTMENTS. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER F AIR. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. 8. Consideration to review and accept the vear-end financial reports for the HRA General Fund and TIF Fund as prepared bv HRA Treasurer Wolfsteller and Senior Accountant Paula Mastev. Koropchak stated that the revenues transferred to the HRA general fund include the transfers from City to HRA for land sale at the business campus, including A VR, Dahlheimer and Karlsburger. The expenditures for the improvements at Otter Creek do have the impact of appearing to decrease fund totals. Koropchak stated that internally staff need to discuss whether improvement costs should be allocated to individual TIF districts. Wolfsteller stated that the balance sheets in essence show the HRA as land rich and cash poor. Frie asked if the remaining payments for the Chadwick land show up. W olfsteller stated that they do not. Fair recommended tabling approval until the final version of the statement comes forward. 5 6 Koropchak inquired of Wolfs teller where advance payments come from. Wolfsteller replied that they should come from the HRA general fund to the districts. Wolfsteller stated that the City shouldn't take money from the HRA to buyout the remaining land from Chadwick. He suggested that perhaps each year, the HRA would make a payment to the City to for property sold. Wolfsteller stated the remaining amount owed to Chadwick is $750,000. 9. Consideration to review for amending the HRA Business Subsidy Criteria and HRA Bylaws for possible amendment and to call for a public hearing if determined. Koropchak explained that the City had begun preliminary discussions regarding a possible merger of the HRA and EDA. Koropchak stated that she has been asked to start working on the item Koropchak commented that her recommendation would be that the new entity be structured as an EDA, as the EDA has more statutory powers. Koropchak noted that the HRA's assets and powers will need to be transferred and accepted by the EDA. The make-up of the board will also need to be determined. Koropchak stated that it would be her recommendation that appointments are limited to City residents because of the dollars involved. Due to the pending restructuring, the Commissioners chose not to seek amendments to the bylaws and subsidy criteria. Koropchak indicated that as such, no public hearing would be required. 10. Consideration of an update on the Comp Plan (downtown) and discuss Froslie purchase offer. Frie reported that he and Fair had shared attendance at the Comprehensive Plan Task Force meetings. Frie stated that the process has been somewhat disappointing and that perhaps it was not an ideal place to have a serious discussion about the future of Monticello. Schumann explained that the findings from the neighborhood meetings and the task force will now go forward to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and direction. Frie asked if there were any pending proposals in the legislature to eliminate TlF or to adjust requirements. Koropchak stated that to her knowledge, TlF will continue to exist much as it is, but perhaps with minor adjustments. There has not been much discussion to do away with the program this session. Koropchak stated that she had received another email indicating that Froslie will sell her property for $500,000. Fair noted that as the Springborg property is no longer available, purchase of this property is less interesting. Koropchak stated that at the based on the recent email asking price, the rate is $25 per square foot. Fair stated that he believes the price is excellent on garden center and involves little demolition and no relocation. He also noted that on the adjacent block, Allied is actually interested in putting together a project. Wolfsteller commented that parking wasn't the issue in moving the Allied project forward; it was overall cost. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FAIR TO WITHDRAW ANY OFFERS ON THE FROSLIE PROPERTY, AND TO INDICATE THAT THE HRA IS LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. II. Consideration to authorize payment ofHRA bills. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FAIR TO APPROVE THE BILLS. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ANDREWS. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. 12. Consideration ofHRA Executive Report. Koropchak referred to the report included in the packet. 13. Committee Reports: a. Andrews stated that he had missed recent fiber meetings, but indicated that the Council had taken action to move forward on an RFP for financing the system. b. Koropchak reported that the Marketing Committee is working with students from SCSU on a Monticello bio-science campus feasibility study. A presentation of results will take place on April 30th at SCSU. 14. Next meeting: Wednesday, May 2,2007 15. Adiourn MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FAIR TO ADJOURN. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION CARRIED. 7 MINUTES MONTICELLO HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Wednesday, May 2, 2007 - 6:00 p.m. Bridge Room - Community Center Commissioners Present: Brad Barger, Dan Frie, and Vice Chair Bill Fair. Commissioners Absent: Vice Chari Steve Andrews, Darrin Lahr Council Liaison Present: Wayne Mayer Staff: Rick Wolfsteller, Ollie Koropchak, and Angela Schumann. Guest: Mike Cyr, MLC Building and Remodeling, Inc. 1. Call to Order. Vice Chairman Fair called the meeting to order and noted a quorum, and the absence of Commissioners Lahr and Andrews. 2. Consideration to approve the April 11, 2007 HRA minutes. Koropchak indicated that the minutes have not been prepared. As such, they will be considered for approval at the June meeting. 3. Consideration of adding or removing items from the agenda. Koropchak added as part of item 5 a consideration to discuss information regarding another proposal for downtown development interest. Koropchak stated that she thought the information was relevant to the Cedar Street Garden Center discussion. 4. Consent Agenda. NONE. Frie recommended moving item 7 forward as Mike Cyr was present for the discussion. Item 7 was brought forward for discussion prior to item 5. 5 Consideration to discuss the presentation on the Cedar Street Garden Center for possible acquisition and to take action accordinglv. Fair noted that there had been a presentation, after which staff was to put together more information. Koropchak stated that the asking price is now $459,900, which has dropped significantly. Koropchak stated that the property is within the downtown redevelopment district. Based on the financial information available, the HRA's cash balance is $299,000. Projections over the life of district are $1.4 million from 25% pooling rule. Koropchak stated that the HRA doesn't have the cash to pay for the land today, but would over the time of the district. 1 Fair asked ifthere would be a new appraisal needed at that time. Koropchak responded that it would be more important to complete it at the beginning of the project. Koropchak stated that the decision to purchase the property relates to how important the HRA views the property in terms of redevelopment. Koropchak explained that if the HRA wanted to demolish the building and create a new TIF district, the City's Building Official would need to perform an inspection, and the property would need to qualify as substandard. Koropchak noted that while an appraisal isn't required to purchase the property, if the HRA would use any Community Development Block Grant, it may be required. Koropchak indicated that she had spoken with Greg Hayes of Shingobee Development. He had stopped by and inquired about redevelopment. He explained that they had worked with Ehlers and Mark Ruff on the St. Michael redevelopment project. The project took two years and their EDA had acquired properties over time. Fair stated that as the HRA starts acquiring buildable parcels, it will start to see things happen. He noted the reluctance of some property owners to come together on a proposal. Fair stated that he believes the Cedar Street property has potential. Frie noted that the parcel could be developed on its own. Fair indicated that he thinks numbers are right for the purchase and would like the HRA to offer a purchase agreement. Frie suggested that the HRA could allow the property owner to not give up possession until after season. Frie noted that 3 years ago the price for the property was slightly higher. Barger stated that there would be no relocation because the property owner had approached the HRA. Mayer stated that purchase of the property would make a statement that the City is serious about redevelopment. Frie stated that real estate market is low and suggested offering perhaps 3% less than the asking price with possession in October. Fair commented that a January I'" 2008 possession date would gives her time to clear out. Korochak inquired where the HRA would obtain funding for the purchase. Fair stated that the HRA would have to go City Council to see if they'll lend the funds. Frie noted that the loan would be paid back out of the district. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BARGER TO OFFER $450,000 FOR THE CEDAR STREET GARDEN CENTER PROPERTY WITH POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY NO LATER THAN JANUARY I 2008, SUBJECT TO NO RELOCATION BENEFITS, WITH OFFER CONTINGENT UPON FINANCING. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. Koropchak asked ifFrie would be willing to prepare the purchase agreement. 2 3 6. Consideration of a request from Lyle Trunnell for HRA purchase of residential property. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FRIE TO EXPRESS NO INTEREST IN 33 FOOT LOTS TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BARGER. MOTION CARRIED; 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. 7. Consideration of a request for advancement of the pay-as-you-gO finance method associated with TIF District No. 1-29 (Front Porch.) Koropchak provided background stating that TIF District 1-29 is a housing district. The HRA entered into a contract for private redevelopment, which was then assigned to 1 st National Bank. The TIF total was $220,000 at 7.25% interest. The note goes to February 1 st, 2020, and the life of the district can go through 2029. Koropchak stated that payments through the end of December, 2005, did not include any principal, only interest payments. At the end of 2006, there was $22,000 fund balance in that district. Mike Cyr stated that the contract indicates that the authority may pre-pay part or all of land acquisition. Koropchak stated that the language is put in all contracts, as it allows HRA the option of pre-payment. Koropchak stated that the developer was to complete 18 homes by December of 2004, which was accomplished in March of 2005. She noted that there were 8 additional units to be created which were outside of the district, but within the project area. Koropchak reported that Cyr has Certificates of Occupancy for 4 of the remaining 8 to be completed, and two more will be completed by the end of this year. Cyr corrected that there are 5 Certificates of Occupancy and that they have a purchase agreement on six of the remaining eight units. Cyr stated that he would like to know if there is a possibility for an advance in tax increment. He is requesting this due to the unexpected slow sales. He noted that he had projected to be done in 2005. In the time since then, financing costs have ballooned. And he had an unexpected cost on inspections from the City. Schumann explained the City's preliminary and construction and review process. Cyr stated that he has 23 of26 units sold, with one purchase pending and construction on- going on the final two units. Cyr stated that he had expected enough cash flow to payoff a bridge loan. He indicated that he has achieved that, which leaves a balance of about $65,000. He stated that his final three closings should generate $60,000 in cash flow. As such, in the short term, there are no profits associated with the sale of these townhomes. Right now, Cyr stated that there is approximately $60,000 in expenses for closing out the project, including paving landscaping and additional financing costs. In summary, he stated that the project will be in the hole until the TIF catches up. Cyr stated that his request is for pre-payment of $35,000 at minimum, perhaps up to $65,000. He stated that he would use that to pay City invoicing and then pay on the bridge loan. He said that the sales of the final homes would finish bridge loan and last punch list items. 4 Frie asked how much annual payment is. Koropchak stated that it is $22,000 for 2007. Cyr stated that according to his calculations, he would be owed about $32,000 interest at this point, plus principal of $220,000. Koropchak stated that the accrued interest starts from date of closing. Koropchak stated that she had not checked what the 2006 payment was made to the bank. Barger stated that the increment now is being paid directly to the bank. Fair confirmed that that the advance would go to the bank. Koropchak stated that if a portion of pay-as-you-go is to be paid up front, normally the HRA would have an assessment agreement. Koropchak stated that in this case, the assessment agreements would have to come from the homeowners, which they most likely wouldn't want to do. Cyr stated that he wasn't aware of that, and he agreed that they wouldn't want to do that. Cyr asked what the HRA would need to act as a guarantee. Koropchak stated that each would have to agree that properties would meet a certain value. Barger noted that could become expensive with attorneys. Koropchak commented that the County assessor also has to agree and that the assessment agreement is tied to both the building and land. Cyr asked what the HRA is securing against. Koropchak referred to a situation where perhaps homeowners do not pay their property taxes. Fair stated that he doesn't know what the HRA can do, as the fees would just add to the problem. He noted that because the TIF funds are public dollars, the HRA would have to show and sign agreements. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FRIE TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR ADVANCEMENT OF THE PAY -AS- YOU-GO FINANCE METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH TIF DISTRICT NO. 1-29 (FRONT PORCH.). MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BARGER. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS -0 NEYS. Cyr inquired whether the City would be interested in purchasing the Stumpfhousenear the Ruff Auto site. The HRA discussed alternatives. After discussion, the HRA directed Cyr to act as a facilitator between Stumpf and Rollings and report to Koropchak. 8. Consideration to authorize pavrnent ofHRA bills. Koropchak added invoices for Walker In-Store public hearing notice and Steve Conroy's final invoice. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BARGER TO AUTHORIZE PAYMENT OF HRA BILLS. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - o NEYS. 9. Consideration ofHRA Executive Report. 5 Koropchak indicated that with market conditions as they are, she has been receiving more requests for transformation home loans. Koropchak outlined the possible merger of the HRA and EDA. She stated that she is recommending a transfer of powers to the EDA, as that body has more statutory authority. A discussion commenced regarding the resignation of Commissioners Andrews and Lahr, and how other EDA openings could influence the future make-up of the new entity. Koropchak stated that an item is likely to go before the Council on May 14th. 10. Committee Reports. Marketing - Frie reported that a group had attended a presentation of the SCSU feasibility study. Frie explained main points of the study, including the need to build partnerships with bioscience industries such as Cargill and educational facilities. He also noted the lease space often set up as "incubators" for these types of industries. Koropchak noted that the IDC had requested a presentation of the study to stakeholders within the community, which she will be arranging. Fiber Optics - Fair asked for an update on the timing and cost for the proposed project. Mayer stated that it is hoped that the building housing the system electronics would begin this fall. He stated that the Council has agreed to move forward; the last item to approve is the bond sale. The Task Force is evolving into a committee to keep things secure from bidders. It will be a separate enterprise. Fair asked what happens with TDS and Charter. Mayer stated that the City will be a third service choice. 10. Next regular HRA meeting - Wednesday, June 6, 2007. 11. Adiournment. MOTION TO ADJOURN BY COMISSIONER FRIE. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BARGER. MOTION CARRIED, 3 YEYS - 0 NEYS. BRA Agenda - 06/06/07 5. Consideration to authorize preparation of a resolution and to aoprove a resolution enterinl! into a Loan Al!reement between the Bousinl! and Redevelopment Authoritv in and for the Citv of Monticello and the Citv of Monticello. A. Reference and backl!round: At the HRA meeting in May, the commissioners approved a motion making an offer in the amount of$450,000 for the Cedar Street Garden Center, 201 East Broadway, subject to no relocation costs, closing date of no later than January 1, 2008, pending funding approval by Council, and authorized preparation of a purchase agreement. The HRA agreed to request funding, a loan from the City Council, with loan payments from 25% of the pooling dollars of TIF District No. 1-22 as projected over the life of the district. The HRA is land rich and cash poor after paying for 88 acres of the Otter Creek Crossings property. The 201 East Broadway (two PID numbers. 1.12 acres) parcels were certified as part of Redevelopment TIF District No. 1-22 in 1997. The purchase agreement was prepared as directed with funding approval by June 6, 2007, and closing date of January 1, 2008. The seller executed the Purchase Agreement as presented except for one change: closing date moved up to July 16, 2007. The Purchase Agreement was executed by the buyer accepting the one change. An earnest check of$l,OOO from the buyer to the agent was issued and is held in escrow. On May 29, 2007, the Council was requested to grant a conceptual approval of a loan ($450,000) to the HRA for the purchase of the property located at 201 East Broadway. The motion passed on a 3-2 vote after some discussion. Concerns raised were: Status of the city general reserve fund; lack of downtown redevelopment plan; fast-track request; and given the real estate market, does it open the door for others to ask the HRAlcity and where does it end? Wolfsteller did ask if the closing date could be prior to July 1, as July 1 is the deadline date for tax exempt recording at the county for year payable 2008. The agent was contacted the next morning to check with the sellers for acceptance of an earlier closing date and to begin the title work in preparation of an earlier closing date. I will hear within a few dates if that's possible. Approval of the resolution and loan agreement between the HRA and City is scheduled for the June 1 I Council meeting. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN: At the suggestion of the HRA Attorney, the interest rate could be determined according to the city's current interest rate on investments. Wolfsteller suggested about 5%. The HRA needs to determine the interest rate, length of term, and other conditions. It was previously determined to use the 25% pooling dollars from TIF District No. 1-22 as the projections by Ehlers 1 BRA Agenda - 06/06/07 indicated 1.4 millions generated over the life of the district (2024). However. given the council's concern about the city reserve fund and to reduce the amount of interest paid by the HRA, I suggested and talked with Wolfsteller about the HRA using $250,000 (from the estimated existing $300,000 net balance ofNo.I-22) resulting in a loan amount from the city of $200,000. This would appear to be a win/win for both governmental entities. In the meantime, I wili continue to research this and distribute comparative amortization schedules at the HRA meeting. B. Alternative Action: I. A motion to approve authorization to prepare a resolution and to approve a resolution entering into a Loan Agreement between the HRA and City for the purchase of the property at 201 East Broadway. Amount ofloan , interest rate , length of term , source of revenue for loan payment, and others 2. A motion to deny approval to authorize preparation of a resolution for entering into a Loan Agreement between the HRA and City. 3. A motion to table any action. C. Recommendation: The Finance Director and Executive Director recommend alternative no. I as the purchase price appears to be a fair market land price, property lies within the existing downtown redevelopment district, no relocation costs, and sends a message of governmental interest in the downtown. Given further research, the recommendation for the loan amount is withheld. It is recommended the HRA discuss immediate plans for the property upon completion of the acquisition. D.

Consideration of a reauest from the Housing and Redevelopment Authority ffiRA) reauesting the City Councill!rant a conceptual approval of a loan to the BRA for Durchase of the DroDertv located at 201 East Broadwav. (O.K.) A. Reference and backl!round: The HRA is requesting a loan from the City for purchase of the Cedar Street Garden Center located at 201 East Broadway. This 1.12 acre parcel includes a 6,494 sq. ft. facility and lies within the boundaries of Downtown Redevelopment TIF District No. 1.22. The property was determined to be "structurally substandard" according to the 1997 Minnesota Statutes, the year the District was certified. At the HRA meeting in April 2007, the owner and an agent made a presentation including an asking price of$459,900. The commissioners tabled the item to their May meeting in order to gather more information. Additional information gathered indicated the asking price for the Garden Center in 2006 was $690,000. In 2006/07, the HRA hired a local attorney to serve as a facilitator to negotiate offers to purchase two properties located within Block 52 (Froslie (previous church/clinic) and Springborg (previous Johnson warehouse). In those negotiations, the HRA determined their offers by using the highest commercial land values plus 15% or $15.3065 per square foot. They raised their offers to $17.50 per square foot and after eight months of unsuccessful negotiations, the HRA determined they were no longer interested in those properties. Using the same land value analogy, the $459,900 asking price for the Garden Center was $9.4266 per square foot. At the May HRA meeting, the commissioners approved a motion to offer $450,000 ($9.2237 per sq ft) for the Garden Center subject to no relocation benefits (going out-of-business and they approached the HRA) and pending approval of funding. The executed Purchase Agreement is contingent UDon fundinl! annroval bv June 6. 2007. and has a closing date ofJulv 16. 2007. FUNDING: Prior to their motion in May, the commissioners discussed their source ofrevenue to purchase the said property. The TIF Analysis completed by Ehlers & Associates in 2006 projects $1.4 million available within the 25% pooling rule over the life of District 1-22 (2024). The HRA does not have cash readily available within TIF District 1-22 (25% pooling rule) and the HRA General Fund is land rich and cash poor. The purchase of the 88 acres from John Chadwick (Otter Creek Crossings) and the annual payments on the contract for deed (remaining 32 acres) are paid from the HRA General Fund. 1 ca U o ~, r Q"=" O O ;~ T+ "' fir. 3 ~ ~ O U r C r+ ., ~ p O O ~ ~ ~ U N ~ .~ ~ v i rC ~ ~ C; y y ti ~ y W ~ F-i .~ .V-i TJ i O 'L r J ~ ~ r i r ~ ~ CL' LLy ~ +~.~ v ;J O ~ O ~ --i ~ ~ O U Q, dJ ~ ~ ~'+ N w O ~ aJ QJ v ~ Ef-? ~ ~ X ~ O O 00 ;~ O "Ci 4J bA ~ U ~ G~ ~ cn *~ O ~ ~ O ~ EFr 4J O O O .Q ~ O ~ .rr U aj QJ v ~ w ~ ~ ~ ~ .~+ ~ '~ to V ~ H ~ y N ~ ~~. ~ ~~+ ~ O.+ ~ r ~ N y.~ -O cC ',,~' •'-' i"" ^+ +'-~ O O C ¢"' •-, '~ 41 O v +'~1 ~ O +ca- '~ cG c,', ~ E'-~ C. ~ O 'G n r4 + ~ J fS.r s0-i ~ ~ v cs ~ ~ . ~ r] ~ '~ O ~ ~ N N ,~ cn .~ O C H~ U ,--~ O O~ O r-' v .~ ~ O Q1 v r O 3 ~~ O 41 p U r1, ' ~ X ~ . ~. ~ ~ ~, (~ N H~ O ''~ QJ p ~~'' ~ ~ tX~i O O O O m ~ ~' ~ ~ ~ _~ O --may +: ~' `+ ~ ~~r+ O N r ~ ~+ N O H' ~ O~'+ p r v ~ \ ~ N N ~ a1 ~ 'O ~ 7- .'..' r r O"i ~ ~ ~ u ~ --~ • ~ ~ o~~N ~ o ~~ ~~~ ~ ~~ ~ o •F~~ r-i +J r r ~, r~ tC S~. v O A O ~ , r ~ ~ v r-i ~ ~ ~ .

At the June 11 Council meeting, the Council will be asked to approve a resolution to authorize entering into a Loan Agreement between the City and the HRA. The Loan Agreement will outline the terms and conditions of the loan. In talking with the Finance Director, an interest rate of approximately 5% is anticipated based on current investments by the city. Annual payments by the HRA to the City will be from TIP District No. 1-22. The HRA agreed to purchase the Garden Center property because of the fair market price and it sends a message that the HRA/City is interested in redevelopment of the downtown but at fair market price. ?

D. SUDDOrtinl!: Data: Excerpt from TlF 1-22 Analysis and site information. 2 HRA Agenda - 06/06/07 6. Consideration to acceDt the resilmations of BRA Commissioners Steve Andrews and Darrin Lahr. A. Reference and backl!round: The HRA and Council have received resignation letters from HRA Commissioners Steve Andrews and Damn Lahr. I will try to look back to find their years of service on the HRA and in Damn's case the EDA also. In addition, to accepting their resignations as a housekeeping item, I would like to discuss a time and date for a social event. Since as an HRA, we have experienced some fun times together, my thought was to meet at a local place (JP's, River Inn, etc) for a social gathering. No plaque but maybe a gift certificate to Crostini's for each. I need to check city policies and source of dollars. Actually, maybe we need a "going away party for the HRA" with the upcoming merger to the EDA. The HRA was formed when the City Council in November 1970 adopted a resolution declaring the need for an HRA, the Bylaws, and appointed its first commissioners. Arve Grimsmo is the only remaining first appointed commissioner. Let's discuss this. B. Alternative action: 1. A motion to accept the resignation of Steven Andrews and Damn Lahr. C. Recommendation: This is a housekeeping item and the Council received a copy of the resignations in their May 29, 2007 agenda. D. SUDDortinl!

[sbubul@Kennedy-Graven.com] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 5:18 PM To: Ollie Koropchak Subject: HRA commissioner recognition Ollie: Based on our research, we advise against a monetary benefit for outgoing HRA commissioners, such as a gift certificate. Even though no per diems have been paid to date, any amount provided now would probably be considered an illegal gift because it is "after the fact." The rules regarding public purpose for expenditure of public funds are fairly strict, and make it difficult to provide the kinds of recognition you mentioned. Instead, you might consider a plaque, or naming something after the commissioners (think of some of the HRA projects over the years). You could also hold a dinner, but attendees would need to pay for their meals. Let me know if you have other questions.

I am willing to continue to sit on the group as the HRA proxy designee/representative if its permitted and/or desired or you11 need to appoint another active HRA/EDA member to the group, I appreciate the friendships that have developed over the years during my service with the group, Weve all had a lot of skin in the game at times as weve worked on a vision for Monticello, Even though rve had no monetary gain from my participation on the HRA I sure have benefited from participating with the group. You and the HRA members make up a class act and the City is a better place because of your involvement. Monticellds a great community and continues to be"my kind of place', Sincerely, Steve Andrews -- May 17, 2007 Honorable Mayor Clint Herbst, City Council Members City of Monticello 505 Walnut Street Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 Dear Clint, et aI., It is with regret that I must resign my commission on the HRA and EDA. Due to time constraints, I am unable to provide the level of energy and attention that the position requires and quite frankly that the City deserves. It has been an honor to work with the excellent city staff, elected officials, and our various business partners over the years. I believe when properly engaged commissions like the HRA and EDA have the ability to "share the load" and help expedite progress toward the vision of the city. I am proud to have been a part of that progress and thank you for the opportunity. I also want to thank you for your time and patience over the years, at times, making public policy is messy - and that's okay. I continue to enjoy our community and am always proud to say - "I live in Monti!" Sincerely ~~~CJJ- Darrin Lahr 125 E. 4th SI.

Response from Attorney Bubul: I haven't been involved in a project where current owners or others are investors, but there's no reason they can't. You still need an experienced developer to put it together. My guess is that this would be difficult. I have not heard from Mark Ruff, Ehlers. Oilie Luggage? GPS? Comic books?
