5. CONSIDERATION TO ELECT 1994 IDC OFFICERS: CHAIRPERSON VICE
CHAIRPERSON, AND TREASURER.
Chairperson McVay opened the floor for nominations of officers
for the IDC. Harvey Kendall nominated the current officers:
Jahn McVay, Chairperson; Kevin Doty, Vice Chairperson; and Ron
Hoglund, Treasurer. With no further nominations, Chairperson
McVay ceased nominations and called for a motion. Harvey
Kendall made a motion to elect the nominated indiviudals as
1994 IDC officers. Seconded by Arve Grimsmo and with no
further discussion, the motion passed unanimously.
6. CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT IDC MEMBER RESIGNATIONS AND
CONSIDERATION OF REPLACEMENTS FOR VACATED SEATS.
Having received letters of resignation fram Lowell Schrupp and
Dave Peterson, the IDC officers and Finance Committee member
Harvey Kendall considered the list of individuals interested
in or suggested for IDC membership. The list consisted of
Judy Leming, Jim Fleming, Charlie Pfeffer, Bi11 Tapper,
Charles Christopherson, Schoen or Demeules family members, and
Maureen Steinwall. The Planning Committee's recommendations
to the general membership for consideration were Bill Tapper
• and Jim Fleming.
Linda Mielke announced and submitted a letter of resignation
at the meeting. Shelley Johnson made a motion to accept the
three letters of resignation and requested appreciation
letters be written to the outgoing members. Tom Lindquist
seconded the motion and with no further discussion, the motion
passed unanimously.
Dr. Nemec made a motion to accept Bill Tapper and Jim Fleming
as new IDC members, the motion was seconded by Harvey Kendall.
Discussion followed and members agreed not to fill the seat
vacated by Mrs. Mielke, thereby, allowing for future options
and flexibility. Membership guidelines call for 16-18
members. The motion passed unanimously.
7. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW AND ACCEPT IDC YEAR-END FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND PROPOSED 1994 BUDGET.
The year-end financial statements were prepared by Korapchak
from the IDC checkbook records, accounting all revenues and
expenditures. The December 16, 1993 year-end checkbook record

The December 16, 1993 checkbook record and Metropolitan
Federal Bank statement balances coincided at $1,249.11.
• Page 2
IDC MINUTES
• JANUARY 20, 1994
Thereafter, the prepared financial statements and bank
statements were reviewed and audited by City Finance Director
Rick Wolfsteller. Additionally, members received a comparison
of IDC year-end financial balances dating back to 1987.
Next, the members reviewed the second draft of the proposed
1994 IDC Budget. The first draft mailed in the agenda was
amended by the Planning Committee. Upon drafting 1994
subcommittees and goals, the Planning Committee increased the
marketing dollars from $2,000 to $4,000. This amount budgeted
for costs associated with the implementation of a target-
marketing program as recommended for exploration in the 1994
Economic Work Plan.
It was noted that the City Administrator had increased the
Economic Development Director's - HRA salary and benefit
portion by 5~ as suggested last year; however, the overall
result to the IDC was a decrease of only $52.11 from 1992 to
1993. If the IDC had not received the City's 1994
contribution of $6,650 prior to paying the 1993 City debt of
$15,582.03, the IDC's financial report would indicate a
negative balance of $723.25. It was recommended that a
special committee research and evaluate funding sources
• available, other than the IDC, to assist with the Director's
salary and benefits. Upon completion of the study,
demonstrate the findings to the City Council for participation
approval. Chairperson McVay and Treasurer Hoglund
volunteered, and Administrator Wolfsteller and/or City Auditor
Ric Barden were suggested as committee members.
Dr. Glenn Nemec made a motion to implement the prior said
recommendation and to accept the second draft of the proposed
1994 IDC Budget. Harvey Kendall seconded the motion and with
no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously.
8. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW THE ANNUAL ASSE_S_SMENT OF 1993 ECONOMIC
ACTIVITIES AND TO REVIEW FOR AMENDMENT THE PRELIMINARY DRAFT
OF THE 1994 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORK PLAN.
On January 18, John McVay, Kevin Doty, Ran Haglund, Harvey
Kendall, and Koropchak met to draft 1994 IDC goals or
objectives. A preliminary draft of the results were
distributed to the members.
Koropchak indicated at the January 18 meeting, the
subcommittee assessed the 1993 Work Plan for accomplishments
and listed the objectives not accomplished. Additionally, the
group agreed the most important role of the IDC was in
. Page 3
IDC MINUTES
. JANUARY 20, 1994
Business Retention and Expansion (BRE). The discussions then
centered around ideas that could encourage greater membership
participation in the BRE program. The results were one: A
greater use of subcommittees, chaired by an IDC member and
utilizing the expertise of IDC members and local citizens.
And secondly, an accountability of BRE visits through the
development of an annual monthly-report schedule.
The five subcommittees and their suggested tasks were
highlighted. The five subcommittees were Marketing,
Education, BRE, Legislative, and Infrastructure. Under the
tasks of the Marketing Subcommittee, not all IDC members
agreed nor were they convinced that a direct mail target-
marketing plan was feasible. Members were reminded that the
tasks were meant as suggestions for assessment or exploration.
After a subcommittee's exploration of a task would they make
a recommendation to the IDC for consideration and
implementation approval.
Jack Brown of Electro Industries was suggested as a name for
the Education Committee. Chairperson McVay expressed his
interest to establish an Industrial Presidents Club.
• The IDC officers and Mr. Kendall plan to meet again to discuss
and suggest individuals for the subcommittees. This and the
BRE visit schedule as per the sign-up sheet will be presented
for review at the February meeting.
9. OTHER BUSINESS.
a) Metro Phones - Koropchak reported she had attended the
public hearing on January 11 when the Public Utilities
Commission accepted the Monticello 295-exchange rate
additives as proposed by Bridge Water Telephone Company
and the Department of Publie Service. After the order
calling for a twenty-day waiting period is satisfied, the
next step of the Monticello 295 petition is polling. If
no reconsideration of the proposed rate additive is
requested by February 24 , then the PUC expects polling to
take place in the second quarter of 1994. As the
petition sponsor, the IDC may want to discuss in the near
future its position if any for endorsement of the polling
process.
b) Dunwoody Institute Tour - The January 13 tour to Dunwoody
was attended by John McVay, Robert Voecks, Jack Brown,
Jim Demeules, Bill Tapper, and Koropchak. Dr. Bensen

Dear Ollie:
Director
55362-9245
Senate
State of Minnesota
Thank you for your letter relating to Minnesota's Workers'
Compensation System and the effects on the state's over all
business climate.
Since I was elected to the Senate in 1982, I have attempted
to work for a fair workers' compensation system. I have
listened to employers from all around the state describe
the system as too generous with benefits paid to injured
workers, and I have heard from thousands of injured workers
who have described to me an insurance system which to deal
with is difficult, in their estimation. All too often the
injured workers describe their experiences as demeaning
while trying to realize a goal of returning to work and
becoming gainfully employed again.
I believe every member of the Legislature sees this issue
as a major cost factor in doing business in this state. It
is, however, difficult to form a consensus on how best to
achieve change that is both fair and reduces costs.
The workers' compensation system, like society as a whole,
has experienced a dramatic increase in medical benefit
costs over the last 10 years. Until these costs are
controlled the system will continue to escalate in costs.
In 1992 the Legislature did enact a major piece of
legislation designed to reduce medical and indemnity
benefit costs by a mandated 16 percent. We are only
beginning to see the benefits of this now.

I also believe we need to control the cost the insurance
industry has injected into this system. Ever since cost
controls began to be lifted in 1978 the rates for employers
have escalated with little competition exhibited by the
insurer to keep prices down. A blatant example of the
greed within the insurance industry was exhibited this
year. I supported legislation to force the insurance
industry to return $404 million in excess profits to
employers, a bill which the insurance industry lobbied
against. These funds were derived from the Workers'
Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA), and came about
as the result of premiums paid by employers. If this is
any example of the concerns the insurance industry has for
the business community of our state then we may have no
alternative but to impose rate restrictions on insurers.
I very much appreciate your taking the time to write and
express your concerns on this matter and I look forward to
working with you on additional reform proposals during the
1994 Legislative Session.

accident, but anticipate returning to the Capitol shortly.

Dear Senator Adkins:
The Monticello Industrial Development Committee (IDC) urges your
support in approving additional temporary storage of used nuclear
fuel at NSP's Prairie Island electric generating plant, to avoid
unnecessary premature shut down of the plant at the expense of
citizens, consumers, out-state economy, and the environment.
The IDC, of which I'm chairperson, is actively involved in economic
and community development in the Monticello area, and throughout
Minnesota and international communities. They understand and
appreciate the linkage between reliable, reasonably-priced
electrical energy and the economic health of the region.
The IDC believes it's of utmost importance for the legislature to
approve the temporary storage of additional used fuel at the site
pending the Federal Government meeting its legal obligation to
provide for permanent used fuel storage.
You've undoubtedly seen NSP's newspaper ads stressing the following
points: The proposed storage is necessary to avoid prematurely
shutting down the plant; it's safe, having been approved by every
responsible governing agency and used at six other plants in-the
country; shutting down the plant would not avoid the need to deal
with existing used nuclear fuel currently stored at the site;
prematurely shutting down tYie plant would adversely impact the
public interest through higher electricity prices, reduced
availability and reliability of electricity, reduced
competitiveness of state businesses, and lost jobs in Minnesota.
Furthermore, replacement power would come largely through increased
use of other less efficient coal-burning plants with associated
increased emissions to the environment.
~`~
Senator Adkins

The IDC is aware of and appreciates that responsible legislators
must be objective and look at all sides of important issues. They
urge you to examine and rigorously study this crucial issue.
You'll likely hear others claim there's no need, that the
technology isn't safe, that there are other better alternatives.
If so, insist such claims be backed with facts. Ask yourself:
What's their real agenda?
Also as an NSP employee, I know first-hand of the company's
obligation to serve, and to protect the health and welfare of those
served; the need and obligation to balance all important
considerations for available, reliable, and affordable energy;
concern for and importance of environmentally sound operations; and
an overriding commitment to public and employee safety. I know
NSP, will provide factual information, will show to anyone its
operation, discuss honestly and fully any and all plans and
details. And, regardless of the decision, NSP will continue to be
here.
The IDC is confident you'll carefully examine this crucial matter
before deciding how to vote. And, if there's any concerns or
questions you have regarding NSP's operations or plans, let me know
by calling (612) 255-8618 and I'll assist in arrangements to
address them.
Thank you for your interest in this very important matter.

Dear John:
Thank you for writing in support of storing high-level
radioactive waste above ground near the Northern States Nuclear
Power Plant at Prairie Island, Minnesota. I appreciate learning
your views on this important subject.
The issue is before the Legislature because of the question of
permanency and the Radioactive Waste Management Act which
authorizes the Legislature to approve permanent storage of high-
level radioactive waste. Since there is no permanent site for a
high-level radioactive waste storage facility anywhere in the
entire nation, the debate centers around whether the Prairie
Island site would be temporary, as proposed, or permanent by
default.
As you may know, there is no legislation as yet to authorize N5P
to construct dry casks for high-level radioactive waste storage,
although the pad for the casks is already built. The Senate
Jobs, Energy and Community Development Committee and the House
Regulated Industries and Energy Committee have both held
meetings, however, to look at the various aspects of the
situation.
I question why we would want to store high-level radioactive
waste on the floodplain of the Mississippi River next to a
community of people who have lived there much longer than nuclear
energy itself has existed.
I also question any decision to continue to produce a high-level
radioactive waste when there is no place for its safe, permanent
storage of 10,000 years or more.

Dear John:
Senate
State of Minnesota
Thank you for your letter in support of storing used fuel
• rods at Prairie Island. I am in total agreement with you and
the nuclear industry.
In November I spent a day at the NSP Monticello Nuclear
Training Center and at the NSP Nuclear Plant across the
highway. I enjoyed the tour and was impressed with the
extremely safe operation of the plant and the efficiency they
have shown as good corporate neighbors.
I am aware that the federal government will eventually
transport the used fuel rods from Prairie Island to a
government-approved facility for disposal deep underground.
But, until that time, we need to remove the used fuel rods to
above ground storage and encase them in steel containers for
safe storage at Prairie Island.
Please let me know if I can ever be of further assistance to
you.
Sincerely,
BETTY ADRINS

Dear EDAM Member:
It is time to think about renewing your EDAM membership for 1994.
We consider that 1993 was a good year:
• We retained and expanded our membership base in a
recessionary year
• We added an Economic Development and the Environment
Conference in St. Cloud ~~ ~g'~-
• Anew directory was published
V `1 ~ ~'~.1Co"~~
• We further upgraded the newsletter to contain more pages
and articles
• The Legislative Committee was active in providing Member
Alerts and following bills in the Legislative session.
• We initiated a student membership and student intern
program
In order to continue our progress toward making EDAM the premier
economic development professional organization in the Upper
Midwest, your board of directors voted to raise the dues as
follows:
Company or Organization
Additional Members Same
Organization
Corporate Membership
Student Membership
$125.00 (from $110.00)
$ 85.00 (from $75.00)
$325.00 (from $300.00)
$ 20.00 (remains the same)
In addition, we urge those of you with 4 or more employees to
consider moving up to a corporate membership at $325.00. This
allows you to have as many members as you want in EDAM. They will
have full voting rights and will save you some money, too.
in rely,

Re: Letter of Resignation
Dear IDC Members,
It is with mixed emotions that I tender my resignation from the Monticello
Industrial Development Committee. Expanded responsibilities and opportunities
• within my position at Metropolitan Federal make attendance at meetings and
participation in IDC activities very difficult. It is my hope that you will
find a replacement board member more able to be an integral and working part
of the board than I can be at this time.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of such a great group of individuals,
serving an important role in the growth and development of our community. If
there is any way that I can be of assistance in the future, please do keep me
in mind.
Yours in Better Business,
/~ ~~ C..c? ~.
