Koropchak informed the commissioners that since the September HRA meeting

the $234.872 gap. Then:atkr. Wolfsteller. Mark Ruff. and herself met to further discuss
.

.
HRA Minutes - 10/01/03
the options. Ruff suggested the HRA not debate the sources and uses statement numbers
but to answer the following questions: What is the value of the redevelopment project
(three homes for nine row houses and duplex'?) Secondly. Koropchak reiterated the pros
and cons of the options discussed to close the gap. Brad Johnson noted on the developers
side there is some room for cost adjustments bet\veen $60.000 to $100.000. Bids are
expected in next week reported Johnson. The developer' s revised uses and sources
statement indicated TIF at $188.000 and a gap of $231.000.
HRA commissioners noted the cost for redevelopment of two substandard homes at
$295.000. this a high cost for higher density. In order for the project to proceed. the need
is $188.000 plus $125.000 gap tinancing according to Johnson. Commissioner Andrews
liked the project but not that kind of money. Frie felt the neighborhood concept was a
viable project and felt there was TIF dollars. Frie suggested $135.000 gap and Fair
suggested $75.000 gap. Fair noted his disappointment in moving forward without input
from the two commissioners absent. Andrews said he liked the project and it \vas
consistent with the downtown revitalization plan.

make the investment because of the lack of decision by the HRA. The I-IRA was
encouraged to not drag their feet about the future of Block 52. The commissioners
responded that redevelopment projects are driven by developers and noted that eligible
TIF District No. 1-22 expenditures must be expended by developers no later than June 30.
2004.
C. Other request for financial assistance.
a) Koropchak noted the request for TIF assistance from James & Gruber. Although the
proposed project is consistent \'lith the Revitalization Plan and a great project. the project
appears to be an expansion not a redevelopment project (no demolition). If the existing
building qualities as "substantially substandard". perhaps the proposed project would
qualify for TIF. Al Garber asked for written infi)fmation as to "how they could qualitY
for lIF assistance?"' The commissioners asked Koropchak to provide copies of the
Minnesota Statutes and local criteria for the "but for" test.
b) At the request of Bruce ~Iamond. Koropchak reported on the proposed plans to
construct a new office/retail building on lot 9. Block 36 and to refurbish the existing
building on Lot 8. Block 36 constructing an exterior facade as a single building. ~Ir.
I-Iamond requested TIF assistance and requested the f-lRA have some discussion. Once
again. a great project similar to the James & Gruber project. Mr. Hamond plans to attend
the EDA meeting to request matching funds; although. the program has been
discontinued. The I-IRA suggested demolition of the existing building due to its age and
being held together \vith a cable. The commissioners asked Koropchak to provide copies
of the Minnesota Statutes and local criteria for the "but for" test to Hamond. the same as
to James & Gruher.
c) Mike O'Connor. prcvious owner of property along Front Street. appeared before the
HRA. He inquired as to the status of his business relocation cost stating he had receivcd
about $3.000 and has heard nothing more. The commissioners noted the HRA paid a fair
price for acquisition of the home and paid the residential rdocation costs. If a business
existed. the business \vas illegal or in non-compliance of the City Zoning and Ordinance.
Thc commissioners advised city staff not to research further and suggested O'Connor
check with his attorney.
7. Consickration to authorize pavment of HRA hills.

Consideration to review revised uses/sources statement after receiving bids and TIF
assistance for redevelooment of Landmark SQuare Phase It.
A. Reference and backeround:
At the HRA meeting last month, the commissioners approved TIF assistance for Phase II
of Landmark Square. Up-front assistance in the amount of not- to-exceed $157,500 at
6.5% interest rate for acquisition of substandard homes and not-to-exceed $125,000 for
costs associated with demo, electric pole relocation, utility and parking lot construction
expended from TIF District No. 1-22 Funds. (Please review minutes).
Fluth, Johnson, Wolfsteller, and Koropehak have met since the October HRA meeting
and after the developer received construction bids. The developers again talked about
options to narrow the gap via the City or HRA. Mr. Johnson requested to be on the
November I-IRA agenda. Staff suggested that the uses/sources statement he updated prior
to addressing the Councilor HRA. Fluth requested meeting with Kennedy & Graven to
begin drafting on the Contract for Redevelopment. Unable to arrange a meeting time
prior to Fluth leaving for AZ, we will converse by conference calls and e-mail.
A variance for first-floor residential use in the CCD is anticipated to he on the December
Planning Commission meeting. City staff and consultants have not accepted a conceptual
site plan for this project.
Since Mr. Johnson is out-or-town til November 3, no further information is provided.

BRA Agenda - 11/05/03

Continued - Consideration to hear updates:
A. Redevelopment of a portion of Block 52.
Since the Octobcr HRA mceting and at the request of the developcr, the city staff,
Planncr Steve Grittman, and Enginecr Bret Wciss met with the Steve Johnson; Bill
Gorton, McComb Group; Larry Olson, Metro Plains; and Laverne llanson, Metro Plains,
in a pre-dcsign meeting. Mr. Gorton, represcnting the national retailcr (Walgreens),
indicated the rctailer's desire of a free standing building (14,300 sq ft) with parking
surrounding thc facility (a typical suburban style.) Of the threc design conccpts reviewed
by thc HRA in September, this was not the concept supported by thc HRA. At thc pre-
dcsign meeting, Planncr Grittman pointed-out the conccpt did not comply with the
Downtown Revitalization Plan (Comp Plan). The Comp Plan calls for a traditional
downtown style with zero lot-line, two/three story buildings with a connection to the
river. Grittman talkcd about communitics now building a traditional downtown and
wanting what Monticello has. TraHic along Highway 25 and Broadway was discussed.
Grittman notcd to construct the Walgrcen dcsign, thc Comp Plan would need to be
amcnded and suggested the preliminary design conccpt be on the Planning Commission
Agcnda for discussion. This item appears on the Planning agenda of Monday, Novcmber
3 at 6:00 p.m.
Thc Metro Plains individuals are interested in doing a housing project in Monticello.
They had concerns about rear trash containment and rear building acsthctics as it could
cnhance or distract the ability to market a housing project. Metro Plains is working with
Elk River in a downtown housing project.
Fred Kattcr, Pineapple Company, did inform me that he was proceeding to contact all the
property owners on Block 52 to inquire of their interest to sell.
Attached is the conccpt design presented at the pre-design meeting on October 15. Copy
of traffic report by WSB, Inc. copics of Walgreen facade designs. Revised TIF District
No. 1-22 schedule. If possiblc, a copy of Grittman' s report to the Planning Commission.
B. Other reQuest for financial assistance.
James & Gruber expansion - At the request of the lIRA, the attached information rclativc
to Minn. Statutory rcquircments for redcvelopmcnt districts was submitted to AI Garber,
.James & Gruber, thc day following the October HRA meeting. They are requesting a
conditional use permit and parking variance at the Planning Commission in November.
Bruce Hamond, West Broadway expansion - Thc same information has been forwardcd to
Mr. Hamond. I did talk to him about the possibility of demolishing the cxisting building.
.
HRA Agenda - 11/05/03
The building with thc cable for re-enforcement, as discussed by the I I RA, was the
building further to the west which received an EDA loan and grant to renovate both the
interior and exterior. For your information, the EOA membcrs re-affirmed their earlier
decision (2002) which discontinued the DMRF program.
Unrelated to TIF assistance, John Kamarck is renovating his commercial property at 6th
and Walnut Street adding a second floor and new exterior facade.

Re:
Block 52 Redevelopment Traffic Review
Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1488-10
I have prepared a review of the traffic issues related to the Block 52 redevelopment, dated
Febmary 26,2003. Based on that site plan, I offer the following comments:
1. The Walnut Street parking area shows two mid-block access points. The access point
on the west side appears to not be an access to a street or adjacent parking lot. If this
is an access to an adjacent parking lot, it should line up with the access to the Block 52
development access, if possible. If it is not an access point, the islands could be
removed.
2. Access to River Street is only shown at the parking ramp access. Ifthe access to TH
25 (Pine Street) and CSAH 75 (Broadway Street) is restricted to right-in/right-out, site
circulation may become an issue. Consideration should be given to providing a full-
movement access to River Street from Walnut Street.
3. The turnaround in the 42-stall parking lot just south of the 3-story condominium
(Phase 3) appears to be too small and would require a car to actually back out of the
parking aisle.
4. The turnaround in the parking lot just north of the Phase 2, 3-story office building
appears to be too short, and would require a vehicle to back out of the parking aisle.
5. The access between the existing parking and the new 42-stall parking lot should line
up with the existing drive aisles in the existing parking lot. The plan does not show if
this is occurring.
6. A signing and striping plan showing the signs and pavement markings on River Street,
Pine Street, and Broadway Street should be provided.
7. If cut-through traffic would occur between Pine Street and Walnut Street, it will be
forced to travel in front of the condominium's main door or the office building main
door. This could cause pedestrian and vehicle conflicts.

Subsection 23.5. Leesl Description of Property in Tax Increment Financin2 District No. 1-22
District No. 1-22 encompasses all property and adjacent rights-of~way identified by the parcels as illustrated
on the map in Appendix A and listed in Appendix B.
Subsection 23.6. Classification of Tax Increment Financine District No. 1.22
.
The City and HRA, in detennining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended, inclusive, find that Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-22, to be established, is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.174, Subdivision 1 O(a)(1) as defined below:
f- (a)
*(bJ
.
*
City of Monlic~lIo
"Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of
a project. or portions of a project. within which the authority finds by resollttion that one
of the following conditions. reasonably distributed throughout the district. exists:
( I ) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by
buildings. streets. utilities. or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the
bui/dings. not including outbuildings. are structllra/ly substandard to a degree
requiring subswlltial renovation or clearance; or
(2) The properry consists of vacant, unused, underused. inappropriately used. or
infrequentl.v lIsed railyards. rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad
rights-of-way.
For purposes of this subdivision. "~uctllrallv substandard" shall mean containing defects in
struCll/ral elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities. light and
ventilation. fire protection including adequate egress. layout and condition of interior partitions.
or similar factors. which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify
Sllbstantial reno\'ation or clearance.
A bllilding is not strtlclllrally substandard if it is in compliance \..:ith the building code applicable
to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than J 5

.
percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the
site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard
ullder the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably avai/able evidence. such as the size.
type. and age of the building. the average cost of plumbing, electrical. or structural repairs or
other similar reliable evidence. If the evidence supporrs a reasonable conclusion that the
building is not disqualified as structurally substandard, the municipality may make such a
determination .....ithout an interior inspection or an independent. expert appraisal of the cost of
repair and rehabilitation of the building...
(c)
For purposes of this subdivision. a parcel is not occupied by buildings. streets. utilities or other
improvements until 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains improvements.
In meeting the statutory criteria described above. the City and HRA rely on the following facts and findings:
. An inventory of the parcels shows that at least 70 percent of the parcels in District No. 1-22 are
occupied as defined in the TIF Act. An inspection of the buildings located within District No. 1-22
finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard as defined in the TIF Act
(See Appendix E for detailed findings).
Subsection 23.7. Orhdnal Tax Capacity and Tax Rate
.
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174, Subdivision 7 and Sections 469.177, Subdivision 1. the
Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for District No. 1-22 is based on the market values placed on
the property by the assessor in 1996 for taxes payable 1997. Pursuant to Sections 469.177. Subds. 1 and 2.
of the TIF Act, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 1999) the amount
by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of a change in tax-exempt property within
District No. 1-22. reduction or enlargement of District No. 1-22 or changes in connection with previously
issued building pennits. In any year in which the current Net Tax. Capacity value of District No. 1-22 declines
below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the City or HRA.
The County Auditor shall certify in each year after the date the ONTC was certified (beginning in payment
year 1999), the amount the ONTC has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. change in tax exempt status of property;
2. reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. change due to adjustments. negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. change in the use of the property and classification; or
5. change in state law governing class rates.
The original local tax rate for District No. 1-22 will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 1997.

Projects.
Tax increment financing is used in conjunction with underlying development and redevelopment powers. Tax increments
must be spent within particular geographic areas created under the development statutes. The basic planning area is often
referred to as a "Project Area," "Development District" or "Redevelopment Project" which also has other names according
to the authorizing statute of the authority under which it was created. Typically, the following types of authorities can
administer tax increment districts:
City Council.'
City or County BRA:
EDA:
Port Authorities or County EDA:
Development District Act
HRA. Act
EDA Act
Special Legislation
M'-II Projects require a general development or redevelopment plan, approved after a public hearing held by the City CouncL
~e boundaries tend to be large areas within which the authority intends to promote development or redevelopment.
Tlf Districts.
llF Districts are the specific parcels within a Project area from which tax increment will be captured. Following is a
description of the general types of TlF districts:
Redevelopment Districts 1<'
Qualific:ltions: "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of a project, or portions
of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one or more of the following conditions, reasonably
distributed throughout the district, exists:
I. parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other
improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard
to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance; or
2. the property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropri3tely used. or infrequently used railyards, rail storage
facililies. or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way; or
.
3. tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities, as defined in section 1 15c.02,
subdivision 15, if the tank facilities:
(i) have or had a capac it)' of more than 1,000,000 ga lions;
(ii) are located adjacent to rail facilities; and
(iii) have been removed or are unused, underused. inappropriately used. or infrequently used.

Term and restrictions. Redevelopment districts may collect increment for twenty~five years after the date of receipt of the
first increment. May designate commencement in the year when the market value reaches an agreed. upon minimum (no more
than four years after date of certification), in which case the district duration is 20 years after such commencement date.
:
At least 90% of the increment must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation of
redevelopment districts.
Renovation and Renewal Districts
Qualifications. The same parcel and area requirements apply as for a redevelopment district. but only 20% of the buildings
need be structurally substandard; another 30% of the buildings must require renovation or clearance to remove conditions
such as inadequate street layout. incompatible land uses, or obsolete buildings not suitable for improvement or conversion
to other uses (that is, a lesser standard of blight).
Term. Restrictions. May collect increment for fifteen years after the date of receipt of the first increment. At least 90% of
the increment must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation of renovation and renewal
districts.
Housing Districts
Qualifications. Must be a facility intended for occupancy in part by persons or families of low and moderate income. Up to
20% of the fair market value of the improvements may be for uses other than low and moderate income housing.
Term and Restrictions. May collect increment for hventy five years after the date of receipt of the first increment, subject
to the same exception as for redevelopment districts. To maintain qualification as a housing district, residents' income must
he limited. The rental income requirements apply for the life of the district. If the income requirements are violated, the
district duration is reduced to that Of:1O economic development district.
.
Qualified Housine District: Additional restrictions apply for a "qualified housing district" that is exempt from state aid
penalties. Given the elimination of stale aid penalties, the status of this type of district is uncertain.

the district will (1) discourage business from moving to another state or municipality; (2) increase employment in the state;
or (3) preserve and enhance the tax base of the state.
Term and Restrictions. May collect increment for eight years after the date of receipt of the first increment.
Increment may not be used to assist developments ifmore than 15% of the buildings and facilities (on a square footage basis)
are used for a purpose other than:
(a) manufacturing;
(b) warehousing, storage and distribution of tangible personal property (excluding retail sales):
(c) research and development related to the aforementioned activities;
(d) telemarketing if that activity is the exclusive use of the property:
(c) "tourism facilities;"
. (t) qualified border retail facilities; or
(g) space necessary for and related to the above.

ARA Agenda - 11/05/03
7.
Consideration to aporove a recommendation for City Council consideration to
authorize re aration of a urehase a reement of said ro er for industrial
develooment.
A. Reference and background:
,
IDC GOAL: TO PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS STREAM OF A V AILABLE
INDtJSTRIAL LAND WITH INFRASTRUCTtJRE POTENTIAL.
The suhcommittee consisting of HRA Commissioner Dan Frie, I DC members Mary
Barher and Dick Van Allen, Administrator Rick Wolfsteller, and Economic Development
Director Koropchak request the HRA support their recommendation for the City Council
to consider authorizing preparation of a purchase agreement of said property for industrial
development. Per the suggestion of the City Attorney, a special meeting of the City
Council has been scheduled for Monday, November 10, at 6:00 p.m. to negotiate and
discuss terms and conditions of a purchase agreement. Over the past number of years, the
I IRA and City Council budgeted funds for future industrial development or acquisition.
Including the approved 2004 budget, the accumulated amount of the fund is $931,000.
Over the past months, the subcommittee toured the sites identified as the Osowski,
Pauman, Otter Creek, Gold Nugget, and Monticello Commercc Ccnter. Following a
potential wetland location study of the Osowski property by WSB, Inc. and the potential
to re-zone approximately 100 acres of industrial land to commercial near the proposcd 1-
94 and County Rd 18 interchange, the subcommittee narrowed their research to the Otter
Creek, Gold Nugget, and Monticello Commerce Center parcels. If re-zoned. this would
leave approximately 70 acres of industrial land within the city limits. Restricted by the
owner's preference to sell the remaining Monticello Commerce Center (35-40 acres) as
one piece and the Monticello Market Place (30 acres) to two users because of the power
line, the subcommittee foresaw a more immediate need for industrial land. A typical
buyer of industrial land requests between 5 to 10 acres.
After the subcommittee received offers from the three property owners and WSB, Inc.
prepared estimated street and utility costs, the subcommittee narrowed the options to the
Otter Creek Crossing (oiler expires mid-Novemher) and Monticello Commerce Center
properties. Ehlers & Associates are currently preparing a cost analysis for the two
properties. At what price per acre will the City need to market and sale the land? Does
it make economical sense? What are the benefits to the City owning land for industrial
development and marketing? This information will be provided at the BRA meeting
along with the recommendation ofthe subcommittee. Wolfsteller will provide suggested
sources of funds for acquisition and the infrastructure development..
HRA Agenda - 11/05/03
.
It
Alternative Actions:
1. A motion to approve recommending the City Council consider authorizing the
preparation of a Purchase Agreement fl)f acquisition of the
_____._ property for industrial development subject to terms and
conditions of the City Council.
2. A motion to deny reeommending the City Couneil consider authorizing the
preparation of a Purchase Agreement for acquisition of land for industrial
development.
3. A motion to table any action.
C. Recommendation:
Since the subcommittee will meeting Friday morning to review the cost analysis as
prepared by Ehlers, staff recommendation will be presented at the lIRA meeting.

HRA Agcnda - 11/05/03
8.
Consideration to hcar follow-up of O'Connor's request for status of business
rclocation claim.
A. Refcrence and backeround:
At the October HRA meeting, the commissioners suggested Mr. O'Connor check with his
attorney relative to the status of the business reloeation claim for 218 Front Street.
Attached is the October] 7 letter to the II RA and Koropchak from Attorney Lindall
advising the lIRA and a copy of the letter received from Attorney Peterson. Additionally,
Attorney Lindall submitted a draft letter of response dated October 17. I suggested
Attorney LindaU re-word the sentence "the lIRA refused to pay" in the second paragraph
as the lIRA authorized payment of the residential relocation claim stating this concluded
their obligation. The draft letter was revised and mailed as dated October 21,2003.
I left Attorney LindaU a message to inform him of the HRA meeting scheduled for
November 5,2003, should new information come forth for action.

Re:
Housin~ Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Monticello v. Michael I.
O'Connor. et al.; Wright County District Court File No. C2-01-1924
218 Front Street, Monticello, MN
.
Dear Ollie:
Enclosed herewith is a letter dated October 14, 2003, from John T. Peterson, attorney for Michael I.
O'Connor. I have also prepared a possible response to Peterson's letter which is also enclosed.
You should be aware that, if the matter is litigated, an independent party may not agree that the
HRA's interpretation of the enterprise as being "unlawful" was in accordance with the regulations.
For example. Section 24.2(g)(2) "Persons not displaced" provides: The following is non-exclusive
listing of persons who do not qualify as displaced persons under this part:... (xi) "A person who is
deternlined to be an unlawful occupancy prior to the initiation of negotiations. (See paragraph (y) of
this Secdon), or a person who has been evicted for cause, under applicable law, as provided for in
Section 24.206."
So far as I know, Mr. O'Connor had not been determined to be a "person not displaced" within the
meaning of Section 24.2(g)(2)(xi). However, arguably, the HRA had the discretion to determine
that Michael O'Connor's enterprise was not a lawful activity even though it did not meet the
definition of "unlawful occupancy" pursuant to Section 24.2(g)(2)(xi).
.
As we have previously discussed, I believe that the HRA's notice of denial of claim arguably did
not meet the requirements of Section 24.207(g). That section provides: Notice of denial of claim. If
the agency disapproves all or part of a payment claimed or refuses to consider the claim on its
merits because of untimely filing or other grounds, it shall promptly notify the claimant in writing of
RJL-238993vl

its determination, the basis for its determination, and the procedures for appealing that
determination." However, this arguably will not be an issue unless the HRA refuses to hear an
appeal from Mr. O'Connor on the grounds that it is not timely.
I would recommend that I send the proposed letter which I have enclosed for your review (unless
you think. it should be modified in some respect).
Please let me know whether you would like me to send the letter.

Re: Housing Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Monticello v.
Michael I. O'Connor
Dear Bob:
As you know, the final payment due from the Monticello Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) to Michael O'Connor has been sitting in my file, as this matter has remained
stagnant for 4uite some time. I enclose hcr~with a copy of a previous summary provided by
Conworth, Inc., the HRA's appraiser, wiL;. respect to their assessment of the fixed moving
expenses, closing costs and fixed payment in lieu of actual moving related expenses
recommended for payment to my client. As you can see, their estimate totaled $21,292.02.
However, the HRA only authorized payment of residential fixed moving expenses in the sum of
$1,400.00 and residential incidental closing costs of $1 ,931.52, for a total award of $3,031.52. I
understand the HRA denied the payment for business fixed payment in lieu of actual moving
costs smce they claimed his business was an unauthorized business operated in or at his property.
However, I also know we had several conversations concerning this business and the fact that
although the City was aware he was operating this auto repair business, that nothing had been
done at any time to terminate this business. Although I could provide additional information
concerning his auto repair business I would rather focus on attempting to resolve this matter with
you so a final resolution can be had.
.

I have advised Mr. O'Connor of the costs to litigate his claim for $17,960.50 (the arrived
at fixed payment for business moving costs Conworth, Inc recommended the HRA to make
payment to Mr. O'Connor). However, I am wondering if we can't resolve this matter with a
compromised settlement amount, or other informal dispute resolution process. Would you please
be so kind as to contact me in order that we can discuss this matter in greater detail. Hopefully,
we can arrive at a resolution which will avoid further litigation, expenses as well as time for all
parties involved.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
May I remain,

218 Front Street, Monticello, MN
.
Dear Mr. Peterson:
1 received your letter of October 14, 2003, concerning the denial of $17,960.50 of relocation
benefits claimed by Michael O'Connor due to displacement of a husiness from his former residence
at 218 Front Street in Monticello. The obligation of the BRA is to provide relocation benefits in
accordance with 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 24. Section 24.2(c) of the Regulations
defines a business as follows:
The term business means arlV lawful activity, except a farm operation, that is
conducted: (etc.). (emphasis added)
The BRA Board of Commissioners refused to pay the relocation claim of Me. 0' Connor which was
justilied as a "business tixed payment in lieu of actual moving costs" because the enterprise which
he purported to be operating at his residence did not conform with the City zoning ordinance and
therefore was not "lawful".
Section 24.306 of the Regulations is entitled "Fixed Payment for Moving Expenses - Non-
Residential Moves" and states in part:
( a) Business. A displaced business mav be e Ii gib Ie to choose a fixed payment in
lieu of the payments for actual moving and related expenses, and actual reasonable
reestablishment expenses provided by Sections 24.303 and 24.304. (emphasis
added)

To qualify for a payment under Section 24.306, the enterprise must be a "business". The HRA
contends that O'Connor's enterprise was not a "business" because it wasn't "lawful." Even if it
were lawful, Section 24.306(a) provides that a "business may be eligible" rather than "shall be
eligible" .
Under Section 24.10 of the regulations the agency shall promptly review appeals in accordance with
the requirements of applicable law and the regulations. Please advise me or the HRA of whether
Mr. O'Connor wishes to appeal the denial of his business claim or whether you wish to have your
letter of October 14, 2003, construed to be an appeal. If you appeal, under Section 24.10(h), the
agency may have the appeal heard by either "the head of the agency or his or her authorized
designee. However, the official shall not have been directly involved in the action appealed." The
HRA may also appoint an"independent hearing officer.

Dear ~1r. Peterson:
I received your letter of October 14, 2003, cottcemittg the Monticello BRA's failure to pay
$17 ,960 .50 of relocation benefits claimed by Michael 0' Connor due to displacement of a business
from his former residence at 218 Front Street in Monticello. The BRA Board of Corrunissioners
approved payment of only the residential portion of Mr. O'Connor's claim and therefore did not
authorize payment of the business portion of his relocation claim.

HRA Agenda - 11/05103
10. Executive llirector's Report.
a) TCDC _ TCDC pre-paid their GMEF loan on May 31,2003; therefore, eliminating the
need to amend the 6.25% interest rate loan. Remaining balance paid - $71,623.47. The
Council approved the amendments (reduction in job and wage goals and one year
extension) to the City/TCDC Loan. Waiting on preparation of second amendment from
Kennedy & Graven as requested by the State. According to September 30, 2003 report
to State, TCDC currently has 35 full-time permanent people employed (42 goal) and 20
(22 goal) LMl. Average hourly wage $21.21. Copy of check reimbursing the HRA for
cost associated with amending TIF Contract and public hearing notice.
b) Federal revolving loan fund _ Carol Pressley-Olson at the State mailed to me and
encouraged the EDA and City to adopt a resolution thereafter the EDA would be the
LDO (Local Development Organization) of the $500,000 Federal TCDC payback. The
LDO would manage the use ofthe Federal payback and only the first re-use ofthe
payback has to comply with federal regulations. Will take to Council after job creation
fulfilled.
c) IRTI _ The lender has notified me that IRTI plans to pre-pay the GMEF Loan on
October 22. Steve Budd bought-out his two partners and with the GMEF loan at 6.5%
interest rate, he is refinancing. Previously, the EDA authorized execution ofthe
Satisfaction of Mortgage. Pre-paid Oct 22, 2003.
d) Revised EDA 2003 Cash Flow Projection with TCDC pre-payment. I did check with
Wolfsteller as a reminder to apply the $70,000 (Liquor Fund reimbursement) reduction to
the tax levy for payable 2004. Revised cash halance - $748,695. Not included is the
EDA commitment of$145,000 to Block 35. In year 2004, three balloon payments arc
due. Aroplax and Mainline Distrihution have not made October payment.
e) UMC Open House _ I hope you were able to attend the UMC Open House. Another
great asset to the City of Monticello. Thanks to those who attended.
f) Genereux Fine Wood Products hosted an Open House, Thursday, October 23, 3-7 pm,
to showcase their most recently purchased high tech equipment and reformatted
production stations. Some of the new equipment purchased was partly funded hy the
EDA. Bill and Barb did an outstanding job organizing the open house. It was one of the
most creative, fun and educational business open house I've attended.
1) Remmcle Engineering Building - I'm aware of three companies looking at this facility.
I did make a good EDA loan offer to a manufacturing company with average hourly
wages of $18.50 with 40 employees as an incentive. I visited the company located in
Dayton a couple weeks ago. No sales yet per agent.
g) Received notice from Standard Iron & Wire Works that they consolidated their
Monticello manufacturing facility to Alexandria and Sauk Center. Up for lease is 36,000
sq ft, 24 foot clear ceiling of manufacturing space with a 5-ton crane. Monticello will
remain their headquarters which employs about 50 people.
h) H- Window auction held October 22. One bid received for $500,000. Had minimum
of $2.2 million.

Re: TlF Plans
Dear TIP Authority Representative:
The Office of the State Auditor (OSA) is conducting a review of all tax increment financing
(TIP) plans in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469 and Sections 6.47 to 6.53. In
order to complete this review, the OSA is requesting a copy of the TIP plan and all TIP plan
modifications for all existing TIP districts created after August 1, 1979.
..
At this time, we are requesting that you send to our office a copy of the TIP plan and all TIP plan
modifications for each of your authority's TIP districts created after August 1, 1979. You do not
need to provide us with these documents for TIP districts that have been decertified prior to the
date of this letter. Please have the requested documents in our office no later than October 24,
2003.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please e-mail Marsha Pattison at
mpattison@osa.state.mn.us or call her at 651-296-4716.
Very truly yours,
(.
