CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING REVISED EDA BYLAWS: A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Over the past two years the EDA has revised its bylaws to reflect current and desired structure changes. It has come to staff's attention that the bylaws approved in 2009 appear to be missing pertinent information establishing president and vice president positions and related duties. In order to ensure the bylaws were legally accurate, staff contacted Kennedy and Graven to look through the document to ensure the bylaws contain required State Statute language. Kennedy and Graven completed a comprehensive review of the existing bylaws. The attached document is consistent with state statute language, refers to the enabling resolution, establishes an annual meeting, and defines officers and duties. B. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the EDA adopt the proposed revised EDA Bylaws per Kennedy and Graven revisions. C. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: 1. Motion to adopt revised bylaws. 2. Motion to deny revised bylaws 3. Motion to table action. D. ATTACHMENTS: 1. EDA Bylaws, redlined version 2.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The City has been working on rewriting the current zoning code for the past year. The project is near completion. Public hearings for various sections of code have been scheduled for the next few months and final adoption is anticipated by early 2011. Upon final adoption of the zoning code, the City will need to adopt a revised zoning map to reflect the new zoning classifications. Several zoning designations have been eliminated or modified in a continued effort to streamline and simplify processes and better respond to the evolution of land use. Overall, the code revision is being completed to support the achievement of Monticello Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives. The Monticello Business Center is currently zoned I-lA. This zoning district will be eliminated under the code revision. Properties will be rezoned to either an I -1 (light industrial) or a newly created district, IBC (Industrial Business Campus). The EDA will need to decide which zoning designation fits the industrial park best. Attached are the use charts that are proposed to be adopted with the new code. In general, the IBC, while similar to the previous I-lA in terms of building and yard requirements, will now allow for a limited number of commercial uses including restaurants, clinics, daycare, etc. The IBC district will also limit general industrial uses such as warehousing. It should be noted that an IEDC sub -group provided input and assistance in reviewing and developing the proposed ordinances guidelines for all of the industrial districts. B. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is City staff's recommendation to rezone the Monticello Business Center to I -1. The existing businesses in the industrial park are primarily warehouse and light manufacturing users. Allowing commercial uses, even those associated with supporting industrial uses, would greatly change the character of the City's industrial park The I -1 district does allow outdoor storage. However, the Otter Creek is governed by covenants that do not allow outdoor storage and establish higher quality building materials and landscaping standards. C. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: 1. Motion to recommend the City Council zone the Monticello Business Center I -1. 2. Motion to recommend the City Council zone the Monticello Business Center IBC. 3. Table action for further research and discussion. D. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft zoning district use charts EDA 12.15. 10 7. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING A $2,000 DOLLAR CONTRIBUTION TO THE INITIATIVE FOUNDATION: A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The Initiative Foundation is an organization that provides gap financing for new or expanding companies. The organization also provides grants to various non - profit and government agencies. For example, the Foundation granted the City of Monticello a $5,000 grant in 2010 to assist in completing a BR &E program. The Foundation is requesting the Monticello FDA contribute $2,000 to the organization in 2011. The EDA did authorize a $2,000 contribution in 2010. Per State Statute Cities are able to contribute not more than $50,000 annually for promoting, advertising, improving, or developing the economic and agricultural resources of the city or town. B. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: City Staff recommends contributing $2,000 of the 2011 EDA general fund to the Initiative Foundation. The Foundation is a well known and established organization that provides great economic growth to Wright County. They also have a strong community focus that is shown through their grant programs. C. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: 1. Approve contributing $2,000 of the 2011 EDA general fund to the Initiative Foundation. 2. Deny contributing money to the Initiative Foundation. 3. Table action for further research and discussion. D. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Dear Mayor Herbst and Members of the Monticello City Council, June 25, 2010 The past two years will be "writ large" in our hearts and minds for generations to come. As we continue to navigate in the wake of an economic storm, it is gratifying to see signs of recovery. With the help and support of many central Minnesota friends, the Initiative Foundation has provided technical assistance to struggling businesses, focused our discretionary grant - making on helping displaced workers and families in crisis, and worked hard to continue providing loans and support to get the economy back on track. Sadly, like many of you, we were forced to accomplish this while freezing salaries for a second consecutive year, reducing staff levels, setting aside important and long- planned projects, and furloughing hours for a number of our employees. But as ever. . . we are still here and still fighting for central Minnesota's home towns! As we continue working together to build strong communities with vibrant local economies, please be mindful of the Initiative Foundation's impact on you and your constituents (details are enclosed): 4• Our business financing programs have helped to secure 950 quality jobs in Wright County. Leadership programs and grants have encouraged citizen engagement, provided a safety net for important nonprofit organizations, and helped preserve the region's precious natural resources. •:• Early childhood and youth leadership efforts helped prepare central Minnesota's future workforce. Donors in Wright County have received an 805% return on their Initiative Foundation investments, in the form of grants and economic development loans. We've been serving the City of Monticello and all of Wright County for nearly twenty -five years with a mission that demands nothing more —and nothing less —than healthy, sustainable communities. Will you help us continue this important work? Please note especially that your gift will leverage an immediate dollar for - dollar match from The McKnight Foundation! We respectfully ask that you consider our request for $2,000 from the City of Monticello in 2011. Thank you for your consideration!

Economic Development Director Updates: IEDC: The IEDC continues to focus on the BR &E proposed projects and will be initiating a branding marketing concept called the "Concierge Team" in early 2011. The concierge team will be aggressive in bridging the gap between the businesses, City resources, and other local business leaders. BR &E: The BR &E Task Force has selected four potential priority projects to focus on and implement specific tasks over the next few years. The general categories include: 1. Promote what is in Monticello (Business Resource Guide) 2. Business Round Table 3. Transportation 4. Recreation on the River / Improve downtown A project implementation meeting was held on November 18, 2010. The purpose of the meeting was to have each BR &E Task Force group discuss and determine specific tasks and goals per project. It was quite clear that there are a couple strong groups and a couple project groups that need further guidance. The group in charge of promoting what is in Monticello has clear objectives, tasks, and ultimate vision. The Transportation group also quickly established clear tasks and already started working with the City Engineer to accomplish short term and long term transportation improvements. There are two groups that need further guidance and assistance. The recreation on the river and business round table groups struggled to establish a clear vision and subsequent tasks. The recreation on the river group did identify the need to work with the Community Center and Community Ed to potentially establish a few recreation on the river programs. In regard to the business round table team; this group did not establish any clear purpose or vision. Staff will be discussing this project with IEDC members at their December meeting. There may be a way to identify a round table discussion under the prevue of the Concierge Team or the IEDC in general. If the IEDC does not provide for any additional guidance, it may be best that this group disband and participate in one of the other stronger groups. Please mark your calendars for January 18, 2011 at noon at the Community Center for the BR &E Community Commencement meeting. This is when the final projects and work plan will be introduced to the business commrmity at large. It will be very important for IEDC members to attend to hear business perspective at large and begin moving the specific projects forward. Planning Commission: See attached agenda. Inquiries: City Staff received an RFI from the State. However, it does not look like Monticello has any existing buildings that meet the client's specific requirements. Industrial Marketing / Venues: Wayne Elam and Sandy Suchy will be attending the Life Science Alley conference at the Minneapolis Convention on December 8th. Staff sent new marketing materials to vendors that participated in the MD &M conference. Business Communications & Retention Initiatives: www. buildingbusinessinmonticello .com has been launched. The winter Business Insider is anticipated to be distributed at the end of December. Transportation: The January IEDC meeting will be dedicated to discussing transportation efforts. Specifically focusing on Fallon Avenue overpass and a second river Crossing. These are key decision points that have held up the City from adopting a Transportation Plan. The BR &E Transportation Team desires to help resolve some of these issues to better position the City for future funding opportunities. The City Engineer will be present at the January meeting to discuss these projects in depth. Embracing Downtown: The Steering Committee will be meeting with the consulting team on December 101 at 4:OOpm. The consulting team will be providing the Steering Committee with preliminary findings and determine general guiding principles. Future Meeting Dates: 1.
