4. Bill Tapper updated the IDC on the joint meeting that was held between the IDC,
City Council, Planning Commission, and HRA. Although the meeting prompted
many positive comments from all sides it was noted that the City Council at their mtg.
following the joint meeting totally ignored all the recommendations made by the IDC
and did not even discuss our recommendations.
Mayor Fair commented that it was reviewed by the Council that IlA zoning basically
was the same as I1 and that the Green Space/Green Acres has been removed. Both
Mr. Tapper and Mayor Fair did agree that this was a move in the right direction.
Mr. Smith commented that we need to plan a strategy for follow through in regard to
the IDC recommendations presented at the joint meeting. Mayor Fair reported that
$150,000.00 will be budgeted to either purchase land or options for industrial
development. Mayor Fair hoped that the HRA would identify land and will purchase
options on it.
Bill Tapper was commended by the IDC for carrying the IDC message to all in
attendance at the joint meeting.
Everyone felt that overall the goal of the IDC was achieved in making all groups in
attendance at the joint meeting aware of our issues and position.
The IDC asked Mayor Fair to visit with City Staff as to what happened to the IDC
recommendations at the joint meeting. Did Staff not yet have a chance to review ,
Mayor Fair was also asked to visit with City Staff on how they would like to interface
with the IDC.
5. Motioned by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Ollig that Mr. Tapper and Mr. Van Allen
develop a resolution from the IDC to the Council concerning the IDC's position. It
was believed that a formal resolution was in order and the proper procedure to follow
at this time. Unanimously approved.
6. Mr. Dan Goeman represented a group of investors who have purchased land located
southwest of Monticello with a half mile of freeway frontage. He noted that the
1996 Comprehensive Plan the City has shows this property for future residential
growth. His group feels the land is more suited for industrial development. Mayor
Fair told Mr. Goeman that his group should start with the Planning Commission
in regard to annexation of the property and future zoning. Recommended a letter of
intent be written to the Council talking about the property.
7. Ollie passed out the City of Monticello Community Vision & Governing Policies for
the members review.
Ollie will send Mr. Mosford a list of all current IDC members and their place of
employment along with their title.

• Draft of City Council Resolution relating to
Industry
Where as Monticello has been spoiled by NSP tax revenues.
Where as NSP revenues will decline as a percentage of the
Monticello's total budget.
Where as the city council has expressed a desire to
decrease it's reliance on NSP revenue.
Where as Industrial growth is critical to replacing NSP's
tax base.
Where as industrial growth is critical to maintaining
community balance during this time of rapid residential
growth.
Where as the Monticello has over the past few years
developed a reputation as industry unfriendly.
Where as the least expense thing Monticello can do to
• attract industry is to adopt and practice a industry
friendly attitude.
Where as it is critical that the city council go on record
as supporting industrial growth and providing direction to
their staff on to deal with industrial growth opportunities.
Be it resolved that all city staff and employees act in a
manor that encourages industrial growth in the community and
that they find creative ways to help locate and expand
industry in Monticello. This includes being friendly,
flexible, creative, and helpful in solving the problems and
road blocks that industry will face when locating or
expanding in Monticello. In general doing everything in
their power to make move to or expansion in Monticello a
very positive experience.
