SPECIAL MEETING – MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
Monday, April 27, 2015 – 5:30 p.m.

1. Call to Order
Brian Stumpf called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
2. Purpose of Meeting: Sunrise Ventures Solar Array Proposal
Jeff O’Neill explained that the purpose of the meeting is to review the proposed solar
facility concept and consider potential land use and infrastructure financing implications
of developing such a facility within the city’s planned growth area.
3. Workshop: Solar Energy Legislation
O’Neill introduced Dean Leischow, Managing Director of Sunrise Energy Ventures, who
presented a brief overview of the solar facility proposed for Monticello.
Leischow explained that Sunrise had contracted to purchase the 640 acre Silver Springs
golf course property and had been working with City staff to address annexation
concerns. Leischow said that Sunrise had considered alternate sites but had selected this
site primarily due to its proximity to three distribution lines to the Xcel Energy
substation. He pointed out that Sunrise had identified several site configurations which
can be adjusted to stay out of the way of roads and development. Leischow noted that the
proposed facility would be the largest megawatt facility that Sunrise had developed.
Leischow said that the solar facility would create no sight line issues as it would be 5-6
feet off the ground in a flat position and 10 feet at its highest point. He said that there
would be no reflection and no lighting other than a security light at the gate. There would
be a 6-7 foot chain link fence with three strands of barbed wire. He indicated that the
facility would be very quiet.
Leischow pointed out that the property had not generated any tax benefit when zoned for
agricultural use. He noted that developing the site as a solar facility use would generate
some incremental revenue and property taxes. He pointed to a total area energy credit
benefit of $21 million. This includes $7 million for the school district, $3.2 million for
City Council Special Meeting Minutes – April 27, 2015 Page 2
the hospital district, $1.1 million for Wright County, $3.4 million in production taxes and
a $6 million reduction in energy bill for Monticello.
Bret Weiss pointed out that the City has the option of buying a subscription from another
energy provider. Leischow listed numerous organizations that had already signed up for
the 300 megawatts of solar energy approved through Xcel Energy. He said that building
the facility at this location guarantees Monticello a seat at the table. He indicated that
there would be a 10% reduction in the energy bill at the start and a 3% increase annually.
He suggested that participation results in an instant savings and a perfect hedge against
inflation.
Leischow summarized that the proposed facility would provide for a community-based
solar program. He said that Sunrise is offering to make Monticello the greenest city in
Minnesota. This includes providing residents (with at least a 660 credit score), the
opportunity to participate as a solar subscriber. He suggested that this program provides a
good alternative for residents who would like to utilize solar energy without having to
buy it, install it on their roof, and maintain it. He pointed out that Sunrise has the
financing structure and administrative capabilities to offer this type of solar program.
Leischow explained that Xcel has contracted with Sunrise to purchase all of the solar
power produced by the proposed facility. He indicated that the program would be fully
subscribed when established. He suggested, however, that there may be options which
could offer subscriptions to new businesses.
Steve Grittman said that Monticello is likely to grow at a faster pace than it had over the
last 25 years. He indicated that the primary land use concern is that the proposed
development may impede or displace other opportunities for development in an area
planned for long term growth. He explained that a certain density of development is
necessary to support the cost of establishing the infrastructure required to serve the area.
Grittman suggested that losing a significant amount of development potential would
negatively impact the City’s ability to finance future transportation needs.
Shibani Bisson explained that the Monticello Orderly Annexation Agreement requires
that any land annexed be served by water and sewer infrastructure. She pointed out that
the City had already invested in a large lift station and associated piping to serve the area
at the time that Chelsea Road was constructed.
Staff estimate that Sunrise would be assessed for 50% of a 2700 feet trunk sewer
extension from the lift station to the corner of the property. They would also pay a lateral
share of the cost extending utilities (less the cost of oversizing pipes) 6500 feet along
County Road 39. City policy requires that trunk fees be paid at time of building permit.
General sewer water storm fees would be applied to the property like any other
development. SAC and WAC charges would not apply because the solar facility would
not connect to those services.
City Council Special Meeting Minutes – April 27, 2015 Page 3
Bisson also explained that the City has been discussing future interchange locations with
MnDOT. She noted that the proposed solar facility site is included within the interchange
planning area and that the property would be assessed based on the estimated benefit of
its proximity to the interchange.
Bisson indicated that staff had also developed conceptual cost estimates and alignments
to accommodate connections from collector road networks identified in the
Transportation Plan from County Road 39 to the Orchard Road overpass. The developer
would be required to pay their share of the lateral road assessments when development
occurs. Sunrise would also be responsible for providing the necessary roadway for right
of way extension.
Phil Carlson stated that Sunrise has agreed to pay its fair share of costs like any other
developer would be required to do. He indicated that they have worked cooperatively
with staff and that they are very close to agreeing on most terms. He indicated, however,
that there is a need to continue the discussion related to trunk fees because the facility
would not utilize the trunk lines. He also pointed out that the site would not require
services of any kind. Jeff O’Neill suggested that the requirement that developers share in
the cost of trunk fees enables the City to fund future development.
Bret Weiss suggested that the tax benefit of $400,000 and the solar production benefit of
$600-700,000 over 25 years is of marginal value to the City. He acknowledged that
opportunity to develop infrastructure in that area would be beneficial but does not think
the City should consider an agreement without collecting trunk fees. He recommended
that the City wait and see what happens with the interchange because there may be
changes in development patterns.
Leischow suggested that Sunrise would like to move forward with a letter of intent and is
ready to determine what kind of assessment agreement would be involved.
Brian Stumpf suggested that Sunrise pay for the cost of staff and attorney time spent
reviewing these issues. Leischow agreed that would be fair.
Stumpf also indicated that he’d like the full council to attend a second workshop to
further consider the issues.

I. Department Updates
Wright County Sheriff’s Office – Captain Dan Anselment reported on recent
criminal activity in Monticello, including incidents in Ellison Park,
motorcycle chase, homicide suspect that turned himself in, and more. In the
Ellison Park case, a report came in from a city resident that there was an
individual that was acting strangely in Ellison Park. The Sheriff’s Office
followed up and found that they have dealt with the individual before. He has
some mental health issues and thought he was doing a good thing by offering
coloring sheets to children at the park. Captain Anselment encouraged the
public to contact the Wright County Sheriff’s Office if they notice suspicious
incidents. The Sheriff’s Office does a lot of neighborhood watch programs
and Captain Anselment provided some handouts for city hall.
The next incident took place at a residence near the middle school. It was
reported that the person in question had supposedly brandished a handgun.
The person was taken into custody and it was found that it was actually a BB
gun that looked like a handgun. The Wright County Sheriff’s Office handled
this incident within a very short time. The school did not go into lock down
mode as this took place off school property after school had released for the
day. Captain Anselment mentioned that the school resource officer could
come to Council and discuss this further, if so desired.
Captain Anselment reported on a motorcycle chase that took place earlier the
same day. After receiving a report of a motorcycle driving erratically, an
officer tried to stop the motorcycle. When the chase moved to School
Boulevard, the officer discontinued the pursuit as it was near the time that
school was letting out and traffic was heavy.
Captain Anselment next mentioned the arrest of a homicide suspect at the
Broadway Kwik Stop. The suspect voluntarily turned himself in by
contacting Wright County Sheriff’s Office by phone.
City Council Minutes – May 11, 2015 Page 3 | 10
Captain Anselment discussed some of the techniques that they are using with
social media. They are trying to utilize email, Facebook and other types of
social media to reach the public, pass on information, and dispel rumors.
Captain Anselment talked about various training opportunities that are
provided to all Wright County deputies, including active shooter, firearms,
nuclear response, case law and law changes, OSHA, and first aid.
Brian Stumpf asked Captain Anselment if there are any trends that the city
should be aware of. Captain Anselment said his staff keeps a watch on crime
statistics to track what is happening and watch for trends. Wright County
Sheriff’s Office is in the process of updating their electronic records system
with an improved tracking system. Glen Posusta commented on the great
response from the Wright County Sheriff’s Office in the recent incidents and
feels that they do a tremendous job for the City. Lloyd Hilgart concurred that
the value for the City is well worth the cost of law enforcement through
Wright County.
FiberNet Monticello – Rachel Leonard noted that the FiberNet Advisory
Council is changing the start time of their meetings to 6:30 p.m. starting with
the May 12th meeting. Glen Posusta noted that it had been requested to
receive a summary listing of FiberNet bills on a monthly basis. Finance
Director Wayne Oberg will look into including that with the other bills.
Rachel Leonard also gave an update on the move from a C7 platform to an E7
platform. This upgrade was completed by FiberNet staff who reconfigured
and every subscriber account and, over the past four months, transitioned
1300 subscribers. This upgrade will enable FiberNet to take advantage of
some new opportunities ahead and use enhanced tools to monitor the network.
City Administrator - Jeff O’Neill announced that the Engineering Inspector
position for the city is being reviewed and the job description will be updated
by the Personnel Committee so the position can be advertised. Former clerk
Cathy Shuman will be helping temporarily with some of the clerk duties until
a new city clerk is hired.
O’Neill reported that Xcel Energy has denied some requests to process large
solar gardens at this time. There will be a hearing at the State to review the
legislation governing solar gardens. Glen Posusta questioned the role of solar
gardens as he thought those were smaller sized. O’Neill explained that there
are companies that are creating small solar gardens and aggregating them into
large facilities. Energy companies do not necessarily want to partner with
large solar developers and are questioning the intent of the legislation. Jeff
O’Neill explained that the solar energy law was to allow small solar energy
producers (1 megawatt or less) to sell their energy to Xcel Energy. Instead,
developers have aggregated a group of small solar gardens into much larger
projects. Scott Johnson from Xcel Energy explained that they are mandated to
purchase the energy from solar gardens of 1 megawatt or less. The requests
City Council Minutes – May 11, 2015 Page 4 | 10
they have been receiving are from larger solar producers. Xcel is waiting for
the Public Utilities Commission to hold a hearing on this.

electric producing system taxation as articulated in SF 1636
Tom Perrault asked Jeff O’Neill to explain what the proposed resolution supports. Jeff
O’Neill explained that this state legislation is of interest to the Coalition of Utility Cities.
The proposed legislation would repeal the current taxation process for energy producing
plants and replace it with a new method of determining tax value. There is also a
provision for adjusting tax value to accommodate the burden of long term nuclear waste
storage; this addresses some of the issues for host cities with nuclear generating plants.
Jeff O’Neill pointed out that the city may initially see a drop in tax value with the new

MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
3. Public Hearings
There were no public hearings.
4. Regular Agenda
A. Consideration of approving five-year contract with Advanced Disposal for
residential refuse and recycling collection services
Wayne Oberg presented this item and provided information about the city’s refuse
and recycling program. The contract proposal offers exclusive residential service
with about 4,300 carts distributed for refuse and recycling. Multi-family units
that utilize individual carts are covered as exclusive under the contract, subject to
the city ordinance restricting haulers. Wayne Oberg reviewed the proposals from
Advanced Disposal which were negotiated back and forth over several meetings.
They arrived at a draft agreement for five years which fixes rates for the first two
years and allows an increase of a 2% maximum per year after that, excluding any
fuel surcharges. This represents a 14.5% increase from the current contract,
resulting in an annual increase of $70,000 initially and about $46,000 additional
by the end of the contract.
Wayne Oberg reviewed the variation in diesel fuel prices over the past years,
which could play a role in fuel surcharges if diesel fuel prices go above $3.85 per
gallon.
Glen Posusta asked if the City could get better pricing with other vendors. Wayne
Oberg explained that he had done some checking with other vendors. One vendor
inquired but did not submit a proposal and another firm would have been higher
than Advanced Disposal’s proposal.
LLOYD HILGART MOVED FOR ALTERNATIVE #1 TO APPROVE A 5-
YEAR CONTRACT WITH ADVANCED DISPOSAL FOR RESIDENTIAL
REFUSE AND RECYLING COLLECTION SERVICES THROUGH MAY 31,
2020 WITH A $4.75 CAP ON DIESEL FUEL SURCHARGE AND
ALLOWANCE TO REOPEN THE CONTRACT IF DIESEL FUEL REACHES
$5.50 PER GALLON FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS. CHARLOTTE
GABLER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
City Council Minutes – May 11, 2015 Page 7 | 10
B. Consideration of approving costs to bury Xcel distribution lines along Chelsea
Road between Edmonson Avenue and Fallon Avenue
Shibani Bisson presented this item asking for consideration of approving the cost
to bury distribution lines along Chelsea Road. She summarized the discussions
with Xcel Energy regarding powerline alignments for new distribution lines
between TH 25 and Fallon Avenue. Shibani Bisson explained the two
alternatives for either underground or overhead lines. Under alternative #1,
underground cables would be constructed along Chelsea Road between
Edmonson and Fallon. The cost is estimated at $225,000 plus restoration and
could be funded by franchise fees of which approximately $630,000 is available
in the fund. [This number is revised from what was in the agenda item.] Under
alternative #2, overhead lines would be constructed along the west side of
Edmonson Avenue between Chelsea Road and Dundas Road and along Dundas
Road between Edmonson and Fallon. There would be no cost to the city for this
alternative.
There were questions on the type of power poles that would be constructed for
overhead lines. Xcel representatives, Scott Johnson and Brenda McDermott,
explained they would utilize cross-arm poles at a height of 50-60 feet with the
cross arm about 6 feet down from the top. Brian Stumpf commented on future
plans for changes to Fallon Avenue that could include an overpass and a potential
roundabout on the south side and the possible impact to powerlines. He wanted to
ensure that underground cables could be aligned to meet future transportation
needs.
Xcel explained that underground lines have a life of about 30 years and Xcel
would be responsible for future upgrades. Overhead lines have a longer life but
generally require more repairs over time. Xcel representatives explained that the
project is being done to relieve capacity from the Pulaski station and allow
increased loads for this area, which would improve reliability.
Lloyd Hilgart spoke in favor of going underground as he doesn’t want to see more
overhead lines in that area. Tom Perrault commented that he doesn’t feel
comfortable supporting the cost to the City for underground lines. Jeff O’Neill
talked about the funding source using franchise fees that have been collected from
agreements set up some years ago. The city was been generating these fees with
the intent to use the money for streetlight projects. Jeff O’Neill pointed out that
there is a sufficient balance available for other uses such as constructing
underground lines or paying for signal light adjustments. Charlotte Gabler noted
that the franchise fees can be used for any projects related to electrical generation.
Sean Weinand was asked to give his thoughts on this topic. He noted that as a
developer he strives to put infrastructure underground as much as possible. He
recommends that the City move toward eliminating overhead lines when possible
to encourage future redevelopment of areas along the freeway on the south side.
City Council Minutes – May 11, 2015 Page 8 | 10
It opens up better possibilities of developing properties without having to work
around overhead lines.
Shibani Bisson pointed out that there are certain areas along Edmonson Avenue
that have no easement areas to locate power poles. Xcel would need to work with
those property owners to establish easements. Xcel representatives indicated they
would be willing to work with the City on the design for underground
construction at the intersection of Fallon and Chelsea, taking into account future
changes, such as a roundabout at the intersection.
There was some discussion on use of the franchise fees for this purpose or
whether underground powerlines should be funded by a levy rather than franchise
fees.
John Lundsten, owner of property along Edmonson and Dundas, asked for
confirmation on where overhead lines are proposed to be located and whether the
city has right-of-way in the area. Shibani Bisson explained that the City would
have a 33-foot right of way, from centerline, by prescriptive rights along the
property north of Lundsten’s parcel, where the right of way is not platted, to
locate poles for overhead lines. Lundsten asked if they had considered putting
overhead lines along Chelsea Road in an easterly direction. Jeff O’Neill
explained that Xcel Energy had designed the route for overhead lines using
Edmonson and Dundas roads. Lundsten stated that he prefers underground
construction and supports Sean Weinand’s comments on constructing
underground powerlines.
Xcel representatives stated that they are willing to support whichever option the
Council so chooses for placement of overhead or underground lines. They would
like to complete the work during the summer; their substation will be ready in
September. They anticipate it would take about 3-4 weeks to complete
underground boring.
Brian Stumpf asked if this is something that Tom Bose would have been involved
in as an engineering tech. Shibani Bisson confirmed that he would have been in
the field handling the right-of-way permit and inspections as needed. Xcel would
have their own inspector since they would be doing the work.
The cost was discussed and Xcel representative Brenda McDermott explained that
restoration could be done by Xcel or by the city. It is likely that restoration costs
could run between $10,000 and $15,000.
CHARLOTTE GABLER MOVED FOR ALTERNATIVE #1 TO APPROVE
COSTS FOR UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION OF XCEL POWERLINES
ALONG CHELSEA ROAD BETWEEN EDMONSON AVENUE AND
FALLON AVENUE. GLEN POSUSTA SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION
CARRIED 4-1 WITH TOM PERRAULT VOTING IN OPPOSITION.
City Council Minutes – May 11, 2015 Page 9 | 10
C. Consideration of approving implementation of a Community Builder Recognition
Program
Rachel Leonard asked Council to consider approving the Community Builder
Recognition Program. This was previously presented to Council and concern was
expressed about the potential costs. City staff did some research on the costs of
plaques and found that Loch Jewelers could provide plaques at a lower cost. Staff
feels that this program would be a good way to promote outstanding individuals
in the community. Brian Stumpf asked about how many nominations would be
expected each year and would the interest wane over the years. Rachel Leonard
commented that it would be her responsibility to market the program and make
sure that interest in making nominations is sustained over time.
Glen Posusta expressed his thoughts and noted that he does not support this
program. He feels that nominations would not necessarily include those that
should and could be honored. Brian Stumpf feels that public officials should not
be nominated or involved in the review, and that nominations should be geared
toward those that contributed to the community for many years, leaving a lasting
impact. Brian Stumpf indicated that he prefers that the review committee should
be made up of members of the general public. Jeff O’Neill pointed out, for
example, that an honoree under this program could be a person like Opal Stokes,
who recently passed away. She contributed in many ways to the community and
yet there is no current method in the community to honor someone like her for her
contributions.
Consensus of Council was to send this back to city staff to work on some of the
suggestions made by council members and bring it back with new
recommendations.
5. Added Items
Temporary sign ordinance – Jeff O’Neill mentioned some changes that are being
proposed to allow temporary signage on property without a principal use, if the
use is for community events. The property would also need to be adjacent to
another property, under the same ownership, which has a principal use on it. It is
suggested that a permit would not be required for this use. Charlotte Gabler felt
this should be brought to the planning commission for review before making an
exception. Jeff O’Neill indicated that he had talked to the city attorney and there
is room to waive rules in a temporary ordinance until there is a permanent
ordinance in effect.

OPPOSITION. (Glen Posusta did not vote).
Biosolids Farm equipment – Brian Stumpf brought up the suggestion that unused
equipment at the biosolids farm should be liquidated. Charlotte Gabler
questioned how long the equipment has been in storage. Mayor Stumpf explained
that it has been about two years since the City has discontinued land applications.
There are also other items stored out there from city offices and public works that
could be disposed of. Stumpf also noted that there may be some items at the
Wastewater Treatment Facility to get rid of. Stumpf suggested that the Time
Sensitive Acquisitions Committee should be involved in reviewing the equipment
that is not being used and making a recommendation as to its disposition.

1. Call to Order
Brian Stumpf called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
2. Purpose of Meeting: Sunrise Ventures Solar Array Proposal
Jeff O’Neill explained that the purpose of the meeting is to review the proposed solar
facility concept and consider potential land use and infrastructure financing implications
of developing such a facility within the city’s planned growth area.
3. Workshop: Solar Energy Legislation
O’Neill introduced Dean Leischow, Managing Director of Sunrise Energy Ventures, who
presented a brief overview of the solar facility proposed for Monticello.
Leischow explained that Sunrise had contracted to purchase the 640 acre Silver Springs
golf course property and had been working with City staff to address annexation
concerns. Leischow said that Sunrise had considered alternate sites but had selected this
site primarily due to its proximity to three distribution lines to the Xcel Energy
substation. He pointed out that Sunrise had identified several site configurations which
can be adjusted to stay out of the way of roads and development. Leischow noted that the
proposed facility would be the largest megawatt facility that Sunrise had developed.
Leischow said that the solar facility would create no sight line issues as it would be 5-6
feet off the ground in a flat position and 10 feet at its highest point. He said that there
would be no reflection and no lighting other than a security light at the gate. There would
be a 6-7 foot chain link fence with three strands of barbed wire. He indicated that the
facility would be very quiet.
Leischow pointed out that the property had not generated any tax benefit when zoned for
agricultural use. He noted that developing the site as a solar facility use would generate
some incremental revenue and property taxes. He pointed to a total area energy credit
benefit of $21 million. This includes $7 million for the school district, $3.2 million for
City Council Special Meeting Minutes – April 27, 2015 Page 2
the hospital district, $1.1 million for Wright County, $3.4 million in production taxes and
a $6 million reduction in energy bill for Monticello.
Bret Weiss pointed out that the City has the option of buying a subscription from another
energy provider. Leischow listed numerous organizations that had already signed up for
the 300 megawatts of solar energy approved through Xcel Energy. He said that building
the facility at this location guarantees Monticello a seat at the table. He indicated that
there would be a 10% reduction in the energy bill at the start and a 3% increase annually.
He suggested that participation results in an instant savings and a perfect hedge against
inflation.
Leischow summarized that the proposed facility would provide for a community-based
solar program. He said that Sunrise is offering to make Monticello the greenest city in
Minnesota. This includes providing residents (with at least a 660 credit score), the
opportunity to participate as a solar subscriber. He suggested that this program provides a
good alternative for residents who would like to utilize solar energy without having to
buy it, install it on their roof, and maintain it. He pointed out that Sunrise has the
financing structure and administrative capabilities to offer this type of solar program.
Leischow explained that Xcel has contracted with Sunrise to purchase all of the solar
power produced by the proposed facility. He indicated that the program would be fully
subscribed when established. He suggested, however, that there may be options which
could offer subscriptions to new businesses.
Steve Grittman said that Monticello is likely to grow at a faster pace than it had over the
last 25 years. He indicated that the primary land use concern is that the proposed
development may impede or displace other opportunities for development in an area
planned for long term growth. He explained that a certain density of development is
necessary to support the cost of establishing the infrastructure required to serve the area.
Grittman suggested that losing a significant amount of development potential would
negatively impact the City’s ability to finance future transportation needs.
Shibani Bisson explained that the Monticello Orderly Annexation Agreement requires
that any land annexed be served by water and sewer infrastructure. She pointed out that
the City had already invested in a large lift station and associated piping to serve the area
at the time that Chelsea Road was constructed.
Staff estimate that Sunrise would be assessed for 50% of a 2700 feet trunk sewer
extension from the lift station to the corner of the property. They would also pay a lateral
share of the cost extending utilities (less the cost of oversizing pipes) 6500 feet along
County Road 39. City policy requires that trunk fees be paid at time of building permit.
General sewer water storm fees would be applied to the property like any other
development. SAC and WAC charges would not apply because the solar facility would
not connect to those services.
City Council Special Meeting Minutes – April 27, 2015 Page 3
Bisson also explained that the City has been discussing future interchange locations with
MnDOT. She noted that the proposed solar facility site is included within the interchange
planning area and that the property would be assessed based on the estimated benefit of
its proximity to the interchange.
Bisson indicated that staff had also developed conceptual cost estimates and alignments
to accommodate connections from collector road networks identified in the
Transportation Plan from County Road 39 to the Orchard Road overpass. The developer
would be required to pay their share of the lateral road assessments when development
occurs. Sunrise would also be responsible for providing the necessary roadway for right
of way extension.
Phil Carlson stated that Sunrise has agreed to pay its fair share of costs like any other
developer would be required to do. He indicated that they have worked cooperatively
with staff and that they are very close to agreeing on most terms. He indicated, however,
that there is a need to continue the discussion related to trunk fees because the facility
would not utilize the trunk lines. He also pointed out that the site would not require
services of any kind. Jeff O’Neill suggested that the requirement that developers share in
the cost of trunk fees enables the City to fund future development.
Bret Weiss suggested that the tax benefit of $400,000 and the solar production benefit of
$600-700,000 over 25 years is of marginal value to the City. He acknowledged that
opportunity to develop infrastructure in that area would be beneficial but does not think
the City should consider an agreement without collecting trunk fees. He recommended
that the City wait and see what happens with the interchange because there may be
changes in development patterns.
Leischow suggested that Sunrise would like to move forward with a letter of intent and is
ready to determine what kind of assessment agreement would be involved.
Brian Stumpf suggested that Sunrise pay for the cost of staff and attorney time spent
reviewing these issues. Leischow agreed that would be fair.
Stumpf also indicated that he’d like the full council to attend a second workshop to
further consider the issues.

Appendix:MonticelloComprehensivePlan,Chapter5-EconomicDevelopment
Economic Development | 4-12008 Comprehensive Plan ~ Updated 2013
Ideally, the Comprehensive Plan does not have an Economic Development
chapter. The Land Use Plan would be sufficient to channel market forces
to meet the development objectives of the community. In reality, certain
development needs cannot be met without public intervention. The
Economic Development chapter of the Plan focuses on the aspects of
Monticello’s future that require particular attention and action by the City.
These actions include:
f Attracting and retaining jobs
f Expanding the tax base
f Enhancing the economic vitality of Downtown
f Facilitating redevelopment
Attracting and Retaining Jobs
The creation and retention of jobs is one of the most important objectives
for Monticello. Jobs, particularly jobs with income levels capable of
supporting a family, are key to achieving many elements of Monticello’s
vision for the future.
f Jobs attract residents to the community. Jobs will pay a critical role in
creating the type of “move up” housing sought by the City.
f Jobs provide the income needed to support local business and
government services.
f Retention of businesses promote community stability by keeping jobs
and residents in Monticello.
The Community Context chapter of the Comprehensive Plan contains a
section on Employment. This section contains data about employment in
Monticello and of its residents. Among the key findings in this section are:
f While the community added nearly 5,000 people between 2000 and
2010 according to the U.S. Census, it only added 1,430 jobs according
to the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). In 2010,
the community had 6,992 jobs according to the QCEW but 7,093
people in the labor force according to the Census.

f The U.S. Census Bureau, Center for Economic
Studies’ OntheMap website shows that in 2010
4,597 people leave the community each day to
work, while 3,849 people come into the community
to work. Only 835 both live and work in the
community.
f Approximately 15% of residents in 2010 are
employed within the community. This has dropped
from 18% in 2002.
f As shown in Figure 4.1, 2012 data from the
Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development (DEED) on their
mnprospector.com website shows that Monticello
is made up of a wide range of small to medium
sized employers. Only 10 employers have more
than 100 employees. Over half have fewer than
four (4) employees.
f Workers for Monticello businesses come primarily
from Monticello and the surrounding region.
Nearly 75% of people working in Monticello live in
Monticello, adjacent townships, or other places in
Wright and Sherburne counties (2010 OntheMap).
f Nearly 40% of Monticello residents work in
Hennepin County, with the largest percentage in
Minneapolis, Plymouth, and Maple Grove. Another
15% work elsewhere in Wright County, including
Buffalo and St. Michael.
f The 2007-2011 American Community Survey
(ACS) Census reported a mean travel time to work
of 28.5 minutes. This is up from the 2000 Census
travel time of 24 minutes. The mean travel time in
the 2007-2011 ACS was 29.7 minutes for Wright
County and 24.5 minutes for the region overall.
Background Reports
The City of Monticello conducts studies and assessments
as needed to help guide its economic development
efforts. The findings and recommendations of these
studies are summarized below with the most recent
provided first.
2010 Business Retention and Expansion Research (BR&E)
Report
Monticello’s Business Retention and Expansion (BR&E)
program was initiated by the City of Monticello, the
Monticello Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
DEED, and the University of Minnesota Extension. It
was also sponsored by over a dozen local businesses.
Through the BR&E program, 60 businesses were
visited. Findings from the visits and data analysis found:
f 78% of the visited businesses were locally owned
and operated.
f 20% of businesses were in manufacturing, 18% in
retail trade, and 13% in other services.
f The businesses employed over 1,600 full-time and
975 part-time employees, with a trimmed average
(an average where the low and high were discarded
to prevent skewing) of 15.38 full-time employees,
slightly down from 15.52 three years ago. The
firms also had a trimmed average of 7.76 part-time
employees, up from 6.96 three years ago.
f Most full-time employees are in manufacturing,
food and beverage, retail trade, and medical, while
part-time employees are in medical, retail trade,
and tourism/recreational services.
f Survey results indicated that the medical industry
is the highest employer in Monticello, followed by
retail trade and manufacturing.
f Businesses in the community are fairly stable with
about half expecting some type of change.
The BR&E identified four strategies aimed at helping
businesses become more profitable. Each strategy
was accompanied by a list of potential projects
intended to be ideas for the community to explore.
The implementation of the projects is intended to be
a collaborative effort among the various sectors of the
community. The four strategies identified included:

f Improve Business Retention and Expansion
Through Technical and Development Assistance.
f Improve Labor Force Availability and Productivity.
f Improve Infrastructure to Help Move Goods,
Customers, and the Labor Force More Efficiently.
f Improve and Promote the Quality of Life in
Monticello.
During the 2013 comprehensive plan economic
development update process, it was noted that the 2010
Business Retention and Expansion Research strategies
were similar to the 2008 Development Strategies. The
review process identified the need to continue similar
strategies into the future.
Preceding the development of the 2008 Comprehensive
Plan an assessment was conducted by St. Cloud State
University to determine whether a bioscience park
should be established in Monticello. At that time the
bioscience industry was an economic development
focus statewide. While the attraction of a bioscience
business is not a particular focus of Monticello today,
there are findings of that study that can be useful to
consider in the overall development of economic
development strategies for the community.
Some of the Monticello’s strengths for attracting
businesses included:
f Land availability (compared to Metro Area).
f Access to major highways (I-94, U.S. 10 and STH
25).
f Regional growth of employment base.
f Development of local fiber optic system.
f Proximity to universities.
f Overall location.
f Expansive park system.
f Monticello Community Center.
Recommended business development activities that
apply to the attraction and retention of all businesses
include ensuring that there are sites suitable and
attractive to potential businesses available and ready
for development. The community should continue to
explore and establish partnerships with a variety of
stakeholders that can work together to support business
attraction and retention. This includes the identification
of funding sources which may be an incentive for
businesses locating in Monticello. When available the
City should participate in special tax zones that have
been made available at the state and federal level to
support business development and retention.
Expanding the Tax Base
A traditional objective of local economic development
planning is the expansion of the property tax base.
Under the current system of local government finance,
property taxes are the largest source of city revenue.
For this reason, it is an important aspect of economic
development planning in Monticello.
Understanding the Property Tax System
Effective strategies to promote the growth of the tax
base require a clear understanding of the property tax
system.
Property Valuation
There are three forms of property valuation. The
foundation of the property tax system is Estimated
Market Value. This amount is the value of a parcel
of property as set by the County Assessor. In some
circumstances, the State Legislature limits the amount
of Estimated Market Value that can be used for taxation.
These adjustments result in the Taxable Market Value.
The value used to calculate property taxes is Tax
Capacity. Tax Capacity Value is a percentage of Taxable
Market Value. The percentage factors are set by the
State Legislature and vary by class of property.
Changes in the Tax System
Traditional economic development theory seeks
commercial and industrial development as a means of
building tax base. Historically, the system supported
this approach. A dollar of estimated market value of
commercial-industrial property carried a higher tax
capacity value than residential property. Over the past
twelve years, tax “reforms” by the State Legislature have
changed this situation.

Figure 4-2: Changes in Tax Capacity Value - Commercial/Industrial
Economic Development | 4-52008 Comprehensive Plan ~ Updated 2013
The chart in Figure 4-2 shows how legislative changes
have reduced the tax base created by commercial-
industrial development. This chart is based on the
tax capacity value for $3,000,000 of Taxable Market
Value. The legislative changes in the rates used to set
tax capacity mean that this property produced 56% less
tax base in 2012 than in 1997.
This trend takes on additional meaning when compared
to other classifications of property. Figure 4-3
compares the tax capacity value for the primary forms
of development in Monticello. The valuations in this
chart are based on assumptions about the density
of development and estimated market value of new
development. Changes in these assumptions will alter
the results.
This chart clearly illustrates the current reality for
economic development strategies. All forms of
development contribute tax base to the community.
It is risky placing too much weight on one type of
development for tax base growth. In addition, cities
do not control the critical elements of the tax system.
Changes in the system lead to unanticipated results at
the local level.
Tax base growth has implications that are unique
to Monticello. The chart in Figure 4-4 shows the
distribution of taxes payable in 2011. Utilities, likely
largely Xcel Energy, contributes about one-third of
the City’s taxes, while both commercial/industrial and
residential uses contribute 28% each.
Enhancing Downtown
Maintaining a successful Downtown is an important
element of the economic development plan for
Monticello. Downtown is a key business district
providing goods, services, and jobs for the community.
Downtown is unlike any other business district because
of its unique role in Monticello’s identity and heritage.
The Land Use chapter describes plans, policies, and
strategies related to Downtown Monticello. Downtown
is part of the Economic Development chapter because
of the likelihood that city actions and investments
will be needed to achieve community objectives for
Downtown. This intervention may include:
f Public improvements to provide services or to
enhance the Downtown environment.
f Provision of adequate parking supply.
f Acquisition of land.
f Preparation of sites for development.
f Removal of other physical and economic barriers
to achieve community objectives.
These actions may require the use of tax increment
financing, tax abatement, or other finance tools
available to the City.
In 2011, the City of Monticello conducted a retail market
study for Downtown Monticello. The report, Embracing
Downtown Monticello, has been incorporated in the
Comprehensive Plan as an appendix and serves as a
resource for the implementation of the Comprehensive
Plan. The study included many components including
an identification and analysis of existing businesses,
evaluation of shopping areas that are competition for
Downtown, a survey of customers, delineation of the
trade area, and the establishment of market demand
for various businesses.

4-6 | Economic Development City of Monticello
Some findings of the study included:
f Downtown Monticello enjoys a strategic location
between the Mississippi River and I-94. This
focuses traffic on TH-25 resulting in traffic counts
higher in Downtown than south of I-94
f Due to physical barriers created by the Mississippi
River and I-94, about one-third of Downtown and
secondary trade area shoppers must pass through
Downtown Monticello to reach the shopping areas
south of I-94.
f Downtown has the largest concentration of
shopping goods stores and restaurants.
f Downtown’s trade area population was estimated at
93,500 in 2010 and is projected to have an annual
growth rate of 2.2%.
f Monticello’s large anchor stores (Cub Foods,
SuperTarget, Walmart, and Home Depot) create
a secondary trade area. The population of the
combined Downtown and secondary trade areas
was 127,190 in 2010.
f CentraCare Health System, with 25 beds and 600
employees has established Monticello as a regional
medical center.
f Increased residential development stimulates
increased commercial development. The recent
economic conditions have slowed residential
development, thus resulting in reduced tenant
demand for retail space.
f Additional retail space in Downtown Monticello
can be supported by the trade area population. A
range of store types can be considered including
shopping goods, convenience goods, and food
establishments. Downtown’s existing wide variety
of services limits potential future opportunities.
However, market research indicates that Monticello
could support additional medical practices.

Economic Development | 4-72008 Comprehensive Plan ~ Updated 2013
Facilitating Redevelopment
The Comprehensive Plan seeks to create a place where
land use plans, policies, and controls work together
with private investment to properly maintain all
properties in Monticello. It is recognized that this
approach may not succeed in all locations. Despite
the best plans and intentions, properties may become
physically deteriorated and/or economically inviable. In
such places, city intervention may be need to facilitate
redevelopment and prevent the spread of blight. This
intervention may include:
f Acquisition of land.
f Preparation of sites for development.
f Construction or reconstruction of public
improvements.
f Provision of adequate parking supply.
f Remediation of polluted land as needed.
f Removal of other physical and economic barriers
to achieve community objectives.
These actions may require the use of tax increment
financing, tax abatement, or other finance tools
available to the City.
Development Strategies
The following strategies will be used to implement
the Comprehensive Plan in the area of Economic
Development:
1. The City must use the Comprehensive Plan
to provide adequate locations for future job-
producing development (Places to Work).
2. The City should adhere to the Comprehensive Plan
to encourage stable business setting and promote
investment and expansion of facilities.
3. The City should coordinate utility planning
and manage other development to ensure that
expansion areas are capable of supporting new
development in a timely manner.
4. The City will continue to work with existing
businesses to maintain an excellent business
environment, retain jobs, and facilitate expansions.
5. In addition to assisting business seeking to locate
in Monticello, the City should actively target and
market to businesses which will be a supplier,
customer or collaborative partner to existing
businesses within the community.
6. The City should target and market to businesses
which would benefit from Monticello’s utility and
communications infrastructure.
7. The City will work with the CentraCare Health
System to ensure the retention and to promote the
expansion of health care services in Monticello.
8. The City will use the Comprehensive Plan to
maintain and enhance the quality of life in
Monticello as a tool for attracting businesses and
jobs.

RE:SolarGardenProposal,Monticello,MN
DearMr.Wolf,
TheCityofMonticello,Minnesota,submitsthefollowingcommentsinregardtocommunitysolargarden
programs,specificallytheSolar*RewardsCommunityprogram,andtheissuesraisedbythemanner
applicantsunderthisprogramareseekingpermitstoconstructfacilities.
TheCityofMonticellopresentsthefollowinganalysisandcommentasaresponsetotheproposed
developmentofalarge-scalesolargardenwithintheCityofMonticello’sOrderlyAnnexationAreaby
SunriseEnergyVentures.
Thegoalofthefollowinganalysisandcommentistodetailhowsuchadevelopmentwouldsignificantly
impacttheCityofMonticello’scarefullydevelopedshortandlong-termlanduseplanningefforts.
PlanningandLandUsePolicy
TheCityofMonticelloisacommunityofnearly14,000residentsinWrightCounty,northwestofthe
TwinCities.Thecommunityhasgrownrapidlyoverthelast20years,andhasdevelopedasanimportant
residential,commercialandindustrialcenterintheInterstate94corridorbetweentheTwinCitiesandSt.
Cloud.ThepopulationoftheMonticellomarketareaisestimatedat90,000.
ThecommunityishometooneofXcelEnergy’snuclearpowergenerationfacilities,andlargecorridors
withintheareaarecoveredwithelectricaltransmissionlinecorridors.Sincetheearly1970s,whenthe
XcelEnergyNuclearGeneratingPlantwasfirstconstructed,theCityhasworkedcloselywiththe
surroundingMonticelloTownshipboardtoplanthearea’sgrowthanddevelopment.In2004,theCity
andTownshipenteredintothecurrentMonticelloOrderlyAnnexationArea(MOAA)agreement,
identifyingtheboundariesofmunicipalgrowthandtheprocessforannexationofterritorieswithinthe
boundaryforurbandevelopment.
TheMOAAagreementspecifiesthattheCitywillplanforurbanizationofthegrowtharea,andprovides
thattheTownship,inconcertwiththeCity,willdiscourageannexationandurbangrowthuntilitmeetsa
seriesofspecificcriteria.Theintentionisthatdevelopmentwilloccurwithinthemunicipalboundaries,
andthatnewdevelopmentintheannexationareawillnotoccurinsuchawayastointerferewithrational,
efficientgrowthwhichexpandsthoseboundaries.
Thisplanningagreementhasprovidedboththecommunityandarealandownersagreatdealof
predictabilityastothelong-termlandusepatternsfortheregion.Likewise,ithasallowedtheCityto
carefullyplanthegrowthofitsinfrastructuretoensurethatitsinvestmentsinstreets,utilities,andrelated
2
publicservicescanbeexpandedasefficientlyaspossible.Thecomponentsofthisplanningrelateto
quantity,location,andtimingofthatgrowth.
However,withtherecentproposedexpansionofsolarenergyproduction,theCityfindsthatitsdecades-
longworkatplanningitsgrowthareaisatrisk.SunriseEnergyVentures’proposedproject,understood
tohavebeensubmittedundertheSolar*RewardsCommunityprogram,consistsof400-600acresofsolar
panelarraysontheCity’simmediatewesternboundary,locatedfullywithintheterritorydesignatedfor
futureurbangrowthintheMOAA,andwithintheheartof“NorthwestMonticello”,anareathatwas
evaluateddistinctlywithintheCity’sComprehensivePlanasprimefocusareaforfutureurbangrowth.
AsitfurtherrelatestotheNorthwestMonticelloarea,theComprehensivePlannotedthat“Future
developmentwillbeinfluencedbythecapacityofthestreetsystem,includingplansfortheconstruction
ofahighwayinterchange.”Additionally,“ThePlanseekstopreventdevelopmentfromlimitingthe
locationoftheinterchange(orblockit)andtopreservetheareaaroundtheinterchangeforfuture
commercial,industrialandresidentialdevelopment.”
CommunityGrowth
MuchofMonticello’scommercialandindustrialgrowthhasoccurredoveratenyearperiod,between
1996and2006,beforeitcametoasuddenclosewiththe“GreatRecession”.Ifthepaceofdevelopment
duringthat10yearperiodisregained,overthenext30years,theCitycouldneedupwardsof1,000acres
toservethatC/Igrowth.TheCitycurrentlyhaslessthan100acresofavailablelandguidedforindustrial
uses.TheNorthwestArea,particularlywhenaccessiblethroughtheplannedinterchange,willprovide
neededlandareaforindustrialgrowthandisidentifiedassuchintheComprehensivePlan.
Additionally,basedontheCity’sanalysisofavailableresidentiallotinventoryandtheexpectedaverage
numberofpermitsperyear,theCityestimatesavailablesinglefamilyland/lotinventoryoflessthan5
years.Again,theCity’slong-rangelanduseplanguidesresidentialusestotheNorthwestArea,
specificallyduetothehighnaturalamenitiesandproximitytotheBertramChainofLakesRegionalPark.
RelatedtotheCity’sgrowthplanningisnotmerelytherawquantityofgrowth,butalsothepace.
Infrastructureplanningdoesnotproceedonalot-by-lotbasis.Rather,itexpandsingreatmassatatime.
Liftstationsandtrunklinesareinstalledtoservehundredsofacres,wellsandwatertowersare
constructedtoservethousandsofusers,andofcourse,majorroadsandinterchangesgoinallatonce.It
isnecessarytoopenlargeswathsoflandareatoprovideaccesstotheseimprovements,andtojustifythe
assessmentsandotherfinancingvehiclesthatsupportthem.TheCityhastoplanforlargeareasof
growth,ratherthanalongseriesofconsistent,smalldevelopments.
Further,theCitybelievesthatthemajorityofgrowth–bothC/Iandresidential,needstobefocusedinthe
NorthwestAreatoaccomplishtwoimportantandrelatedobjectives:(1)Avoidoverwhelmingthe
Highway25/I-94interchange,and(2)Createa“criticalmass”ofdevelopmenttosupportfeasible
infrastructuredevelopmentinthatarea.
Finally,thesebaseeconomicsofgrowtharenottheonlyfactorinacity’sgrowthplanning.Thereisalso
a“multipliereffect”presentintheurbangrowth.Localbusinessesrelyongrowthinthecommunity’s
populationtojustifynewretailandrestaurantoptions,andforasourceoflaborsupply.Withouta
growingpopulation,newbusinesseswillseekotherlocationsoutsideofthearea,andexistingbusinesses

First,large-scaledevelopmentinotherportionsoftheCityisimpractical.TheCity’sclosestinterchange

factthatTH25istheonlyMississippiRivercrossingbetweenHighway101atElkRiverandTrunk
Highway24atClearwater–adistancealongI-94of30miles.
AsMonticellogrows,addingtraffictotheTH25interchangewillonlyexacerbatetheexistingproblem.

Re: School Boulevard Extension
City of Monticello
As you requested we have reviewed and analyzed the anticipated impacts alternative alignments
for the extension of School Boulevard would have on the area transportation network. Two
alternatives were considered for the extension of School Boulevard from where it currently ends
southeast of 90th Street to an intersection with CSAH 39.
Alternative #1 – Extension across 90th Street through Bertram Park
Alternative #2 – Extension across 90th Street to a connection via Dalton Avenue to Chelsea Road
Each of these alternatives was reviewed keeping in mind the following objectives:
1. Provide needed connections to potential interchange locations at CSAH 39 & Orchard Road
2. Facilitate traffic flow and best management of collector route system
3. Provide trail extensions & connections to/from city to park and freeway crossings
4. Minimize park intrusion
5. Maximize visual access to park; Otter Creek
6. Provide for utility access via extension corridor
7. Parcel remnant usability
8. Cost of construction
Based on these objectives the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative were determined
and are summarized below:
Alternative #1 – Bertram Park Alignment
Projected 2030 Daily Traffic Volumes:
School Blvd – 90th Street to CSAH 39 through Bertram Park = 7,400
Chelsea Road – Dalton Avenue to CSAH 39 = 9,400
Dalton Avenue- School Boulevard to Chelsea Road = 2,900
CSAH 39 between Chelsea Road and School Blvd Extension = 8,600
90th Street between Chelsea Road and School Blvd Extension = 7,100
School Boulevard Extension
April 9, 2015
Page 2 of 2
Advantages:
Creates a more ideal collector road spacing (School Blvd and Chelsea Rd) south of I-94
providing access to the northwest area of the City.
Provides improved access to a future interchange at Orchard Road.
Disperses traffic onto two collector roads intersecting CSAH 39 providing improved
operations.
Provides pedestrian access to Bertram Park from City park and trail facilities.
Disadvantages:
Natural resources impact through Bertram Lake Park.
Park vision as non-motorized.
Bisects Park creating remnant parcels.
Higher cost.
Alternative #2 – Dalton Avenue Connection
Projected 2030 Daily Traffic Volumes:
School Blvd – 90th Street to Chelsea Road (via Dalton Avenue) = 5,800
Chelsea Road – Dalton Avenue to CSAH 39 = 14,900
CSAH 39 west of Chelsea Road = 11,100
90th Street between Chelsea Road and School Blvd Extension = 8,300
Advantages:
No impact to Bertram Park.
Does not bisect Park creating remnant parcels.
Lower cost.
Disadvantages:
Does not provide access to northwest area of the City. Reduces the justification and/or
need for a future interchange at Orchard Road.
Concentrates all traffic at the Chelsea Road intersection with CSAH 39.
Creates high volume closely spaced intersections with a future interchange at I-94 and
CSAH 39.
Requires additional traffic control at Dalton Avenue and Chelsea Road intersection.
Does not create convenient pedestrian connections from the south along School Blvd to
Bertram Lake Park.

DATE:March23,2015
RE:HRA/EDATaxLevies
Youhaverequestedanexplanationoftheauthorityforthetwotypesofleviesavailabletothe
CityofMonticelloEconomicDevelopmentAuthority(“EDA”),andsomehistoricalbackground
onthoselevies.Thetwoleviesaresometimesreferredtoasthe“HRAlevy”andthe“EDA
levy,”describedasfollows.
1.HRAlevy
UnderMinnesotaStatutes,Sections469.091aneconomicdevelopmentauthorityhasallthe
powersofahousingandredevelopmentauthorityunderSections469.001to469.047(the“HRA
Act”),unlessthosepowersarelimitedbytheCity’senablingresolutionthatestablishedthe
authority.TheenablingresolutionthatestablishedtheMonticelloEDAcontainednosuch
limitations,andinfact,inabout2008,theCityactedtoconsolidatethefunctionsoftheEDAand
HRAandtobringallsuchfunctionsunderthepurviewoftheEDA.Therefore,theEDAmay
essentiallyactasahousingandredevelopmentauthorityandexerciseallpowersundertheHRA
Act,aswellasexercisingitseconomicdevelopmentpowersunderMinnesotaStatutes,Sections
469.090to469.1081(the“EDAAct”).
UnderSection469.033oftheHRAAct,anHRAmaylevyataxonitsareaofoperationforthe
purposesauthorizedundertheHRAAct,subjecttoconsentbythecitycouncil.Thelevymaynot
exceed.0185percentofthetaxablemarketvalueintheCity.The“areaofoperation”ofthe
authorityistheboundariesoftheCity.
SincetheEDAhasallthepowersofahousingandredevelopmentauthority,theEDAmaylevy
thetaxauthorizedunderSection469.033,subjecttothesamelimitationsandproceduresthat
wouldapplyifitwereleviedbyahousingandredevelopmentauthority.
TheHRAlevyhastwoimportantfeatures.First,theproceedsmustbeusedonly“forthe
purposesof[theHRAAct].”MinnesotaStatutes,Section469.033,subd.6.Thosepurposes,
broadly,includeredevelopmenttocorrectorpreventblight,anddevelopmentoforassistanceto
housingforlowormoderateincomepersons.
&
457807v1MNIMN190-101
Second,theHRAlevyistechnicallyraisedbytheEDA(usingitsHRAActpowers),albeit
approvedbytheCityCouncil.Thelevyamountisaboveandbeyondanylevylimitsthatapply
totheCity;theonlylimitisthe.0185%ofmarketvaluedescribedabove.Assuch,theHRA
levyisareliablesourceofrevenueindependentofCityrevenues.AsshowninExhibitA,
attached,themaximumHRAlevyauthorizedfor2015inMonticellois$280,011.
2.EDAlevy
Section469.107oftheEDAActprovidesseparateauthorityforataxlevytobenefittheEDA.
Underthisprovision,the CityleviesthetaxattherequestoftheEDA.Theamountleviedislimited
to.01813percentofthetaxablemarketvalueintheCity(ahigherlevyispermissiblebutsubjectto
reversereferendum).ForMonticelloin2015,themaximumauthorizedEDAlevyis$274,410.
ThislevyisdifferentfromtheHRAlevyintworespects.First,itismadebythe City forthebenefit
oftheEDA,attheEDA’srequest.TheamountiswithintheCity’soveralllevylimits.Assuch,it
isessentiallythesameasanappropriationtotheEDAfromtheCity’sgeneralfunds.Inanyyearin
whichlevylimitsapply,theEDAlevywouldcompetewithgeneralCityneeds.Assuch,theEDA
levyisnotasstable,andconsequentlyisnotfrequentlyused(atleastamongthecitiesIworkwith).
Second,thestatutedoesnotexpresslylimittheproceedstoanyparticularuse,buttheimplicationis
thattheymaybeusedforanyactivityanEDAisauthorizedtocarryoutundertheEDAAct.Those
usesincludehousingandredevelopmentactivitiesundertheHRAAct,butalsobroadereconomic
developmentactivities.Thatis,theEDAlevyhasaslightlyhigherlimit,andfewerrestrictionson
use;however,thesebenefitstendtobeovershadowedbytheCitylevylimitproblemdescribed
above.
TheexistenceofthesetwoseparateleviescanbeexplainedbythehistoryoftheEDAAct.That
statutewasenactedin1986,andwasintended(byitsproponents)asmechanismtoconsolidate
developmentandredevelopmentpowersinasingleagency.However,thatconceptbecame
somewhatcontroversial,andthepowersofeconomicdevelopmentauthoritieswerescaledback
duringthecourseofthelegislativesession.Thefinalresultwasastatutethatprovidessomenew
powersforeconomicdevelopmentauthorities,coupledwiththecross-referencedpowersof
housingandredevelopmentauthoritiesandcities.Inpractice,thecross-referencedpowershave
beenmorebeneficial.
TheCitycould,ifitchose,useboththeEDAlevyandtheHRAlevy,aslongastheEDAlevyis
usedforpurposesotherthanhousingandredevelopment.Again,thisstrategywouldbeno
differentthansimplyappropriatingCityfundstotheEDA,inadditiontoallowingtheEDAto
raiseitsownlevy(usingtheHRAlevypower).
3.Process
IftheEDAwishestolevyanHRAlevy,thestepsrequiredarefairlystraightforward.First,the
EDAmustprepareandfileanannualbudget(foritshousingandredevelopmentactivities)in
accordancewiththebudgetproceduresoftheCity.TheEDAmustrequestthattheCityCouncil
approvealevybasedonthisbudget.TheCityCouncilmustreviewthebudgetandconsentto
457807v1MNIMN190-101
theHRAlevybyresolution.Nopublichearingisrequiredforthisprocess.Onceadopted,the
HRAlevyisincludedintheCity’spreliminarylevycertificationandiscollectedbytheCounty
inthesamemannerasgeneralCitytaxes,butiskeptinaseparatefundandturnedovertothe
EDAdirectly.
TheprocessisbasicallythesameiftheEDAwishestoinstituteanEDAlevy.Aspreviously
stated,though,theEDAlevyshouldbeconsideredtobepartoftheCity’sgenerallevy,rather
thanaspeciallevyindependentofCityrevenues.
OncetheEDAlevyisinplace,itmaybeincreasedabovethestatutorylimit,butonlyifthe
followingrequirementsaremet.First,theCityCouncilmustadoptaresolutionstatingthe
proposedamountoftheincrease.Theresolutionandanoticeofpublichearingmustthenbe
