1. Call to order.
2. Appruval of the Minutes.
A motion was made by Fair, seconded by Blonigen and unani-
mously carried to approve the minutes of the July 25th, 1983
meeting as presented.
3. Consideration of an Ordinance Amendment Which Would Require
the City to Assume Certain Responsibility With Respect to
Maintenance of Sewer and Water Service lAnes.
Currently, after the initial connection has been made to the
curb stop or the sewer lead, tiro individual property owners
assume responsibility or liability for all repairs required
to any water line or sewor service line from the promises to
the street main, including any necessary street repairs.
The Council discussed whether or not this liability to the
property owner should be changed and require the City to
assume all responsibility for the narviee lines from the
utreot mains to the property line. usually, if a problem
exists in blockage or utoppage, the sewer line is the
problem. Although the propoLy owner did not have any
control ovum the initial installation of the sewer lino,
Lila major ptoblem with plugged seweru are usually rusts
or other blockage frun ferelgn uhjeetu 1,eing lcdqud in
the pilus. In addition, nexaw prublesu can reault from
the service lines sagging or collapoirg or the actual
Lai line of the pipo iLaelt . it. was noted by th^ City
Staff that in the pact, if a newer lin,; collapeo or brual-
ago is the obvioun fault of a recent construction project.
or Smproper installation, Lila City has normally assumed
some of the cost of repairs for the ptol'.urty owner. if
tile_ ordinance would Ile amended to have all sower linti
problems the iosponsibility of the City, it was felt that
the City would incur a substantial liability in repair
eostuand manpowor to locate Lha problems.
Council Minute_: - 8/1j;93
Some concerns were expressed by Council meml.vzis uver the
varying lengths of service lines resultinq from the sewer
mains being located on the opposite side of the struet
from the home, but it was noted by the Public works Director
that in most cases, the sewer main is in the middle of the
street and the distances to the homes should be about equal
in most cases. After further discussing the pros and cons
of the City assuming all liability for repairs, the Mayor
asked for a motion by the Council as to whether the ordinance
should be changed from its present status. Hearing no motion
to change the ordinance, the ordinance stands as it presently
is, with the homeowner being responsible from the property
line to the street main.
4. Consideration of Installinq Sewer and Water Service Lines to
the City Coned House at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Public Works Director, John Simola, noted that the private
well at the residence owned by the City next to the Waste-
water Treatment Plant currently has extremely hard water
and contains much iron. In addition, sewer and water ser-
vices were rade Available to this house in 197G with the
Mississippi Drive project and Mr. Simola obtained two quotes
from local contractors for the installation of both sewer
and water services to the house.
The quotes that ware received are as follows:
Brentenon ConGLIUCtlon Cumpany ,,:,460
Fylcs Backhoe S,rvic-! S1,950
A motion was made by Illoniyen, seconded by Fair, and unani-
mously carried to authorize the hook up of City sewer and
water to the property owned by the City and to accept the
low bid of $1,950 from Fylea Backhoo Service.
5. Discussion of County Ditch 033 Public Hearing Notica.
It was the coneensua of lila Council to authorize Lilo City
Engineer, John Badalich, to attond Lilo County Board Public
Roaring regarding the City'a petition to allow storm water
run off into County Ditch 033 from Lila Meadow Wk subdivision
project. The public hearing in achodulod for Tuesday,

dicates the easement cost would be $3,000 with an additional
cost to the City of $13,900 for the railroads, materials and
labor for the two crossings. It was noted that all cost
associated with the two crossings would be assessable to
the Meadow Oak Subdivision as part of the improvement project.

4. Consideration of Information Relating to the Condition of the
City [fall Roof. (G.A.)
On Friday, August 12th, 1983, at 10:00 A.M., a meeting was
called by Mr. Herb Ketchum, Architectural Alliance, the
architect for the City ball project. Also in attendance was
a representative from the Herbert 0. Mickelson. Company,
general contractor for the building and two gentlemen
representing the company Ettel and Franz. They were the
roofing subcontractors on the project. Also present were
City Staff members, Tom Eidem, Rick Wolfsteller, and Gary
Anderson. This was a meeting called by Mr. Ketchum to
look over the general context of the meeting. Mr. Ketchum
explained briefly to those in attendance the purpose of the
meeting and if we could resolve the roof leakage problem as
soon as possible. He felt that with the expertise that was
present at the meeting, some sort of conclusion to the
possible solution of our leaking problem could result from
this meeting. The City Staff explained to Mr. Ketchum the
approximate locations of the leaks we have had in the
building and when they occurred. ilia roof was also inspected
by all the members present and noted that the aide entrance
to our building and thp. Council Chambers roof were leaking
and water does flow down onto the front entrance roof.
After inspecting the application of the flashing on the roof, it was
the general concensus of those involved as to why the flashing
was installed that way. The main reason it was installed in
thin way was to hide the top of the flashing so that it would
not protrude out over the top of the shingles. Cne possible
solution was tho installation of a rain gutter to catch the
water coming off of that portion of the Council Chamber's roof
devertiny coma of thwater into the rain gutter onto the ground
away from the building. Also noted was the scaling or chipping
away of the brick and the cracks in the brick and also water
could be going in behind the brick and down the wall and possibly
under our flashing onto our docking causing leakage problems.
Tho brick itself is a very soft, porus brick. Mr. Ketchum
noted that before the building wan built that it was explained
to tho City that this being a very soft brick, it would have
to be treated with some typo of a sealant to prevent problems
with thio typo of a brick. In looking at tho south and cast
portiono of the roof, wo noted that there warn cracks up the
roof line from the eaven, noting that most of the cracks were
either in the cantor in between the beams or just off to tho
aide of the beam, ono or two feet.
- 1 -

Council Agenda - 8/22/83
Also there were some cracks on the south side that were directly
on top of the beams. Trying to cane up with some sort of a
solution as to the reason why that we have vertical cracks in
the roof, one of the suggestions possibly being that we are
having ur did occur some deflection in our buildinq, that being
the area that is exposed under our roof overhang and
we have an area of approximatel:• 7 to 7S feet. With
the abnormal amount of snow in 1978 and with a build up of ice
on the cave of the roof, possibly that additional weight
hanging out on the eaves, we could have had some small hair
line cracks starting at goat point. The staff has no recollection
of anyone being up on the roof to note any cracks from that
in the Spring of the following year. Althouyh we are experiencing
no leaks from these vertical cracks as of this time, the natural
wear of the shingles and the weather conditions that will be
existing could have an occurrence of leakage from these vertical
cracks. In looking at our electrical heat tape wires on the rooi,, at
the highest point they are just at the interior or exterior wall
height in comparison to the roof, noting they should be extended
to at least 4 to 12 inches higher on the roof, creating a thawing
channel so the water can be relocated off the roof onto the
ground in the spring. After the roof Inspection, the interior
of City Hall was inspected noting all the various places that
have had looks at one point in time. A short discuesiom followed
in the conference room and the general concenaus of the
contractors involved was that Mr. Ketchum come up with hie
solutions to the problems through discussion which was centered
here today at the meeting and send us a letter which direction
they intend to go in regard to fixing our roof. Mr. Ketchum
indicated they would probably like to go on a phase plan allowing
a couple of methods to alleviate the problem and if that doesn't
work go to Phaau II and try another way to alleviate the problem.
Mr. Bidem indicating to the affected people present at the meeting
that thin meeting wee called by Mt. Ketchum and not a meeting
called by the City and that it nothing comes out of this mooting
that in uatiefactory to the City, a separate MOOLing would he
called by the City Administrator to all affected partiea involved
to come up with a solution to alleviate this roof leakage problem.
That if necessary, the City would nocasoitato legal acti wa.
Tho meeting was dispensed at approximately 12:10 with Mr. Ketchum
indicating that he would get back to me with a latter by the
August 22th Council meeting. 1 called Mr. Ketchum's office on
Tuesday, August 16th, at approximately 8:00 A.M. and he was out
for the day and would return my call the next day. On August 16,
Mr. Ketchum returned may call indicating that he is in the process
of sending a lottor to me by the August 22 Council meeting, in-
dicating that any hold up in the letter would be that ho is waiting
for prices from the affected contractors in regard to what it would
cost to repair some of the problems in our roof. He did indicate
that in one way or another he would got a letter to me by Monday.
On August 18th, Mr. Ketchum did call mu and has his rough draft
letter ready and will be hand delivering iL to my office this
afternoon. A brief explanation of hio letter indicated to me
_2 _
Council Agenda - 8/22/83
that he would like to Phase step the problem procedure to
solutions to our roof leakage problems. At this time, due to
the inability of the contractors to get back to him at this
time, he does not have the prices it Costs to correct
our roof leakage problem, but will get them to us as soon as
he receives them. Tlie general coneunsus of the discussion
with the contractors involved in this project is that they
intend to do as little as possible to
repair the roof leakage problem. Their
indication is that their one year warranty against workmanship
and defects has past and has been nearly 3 years since they have
had any response from the City in regard to any roof leakage
problems other than what was received in our initial letter
that was sent this past month, each one still pointing the finger
at the other indicating he is the one that is responsible and
should be fixing the problem and not his company to do the work
or any expenses involved on his part. The primary emphasis
from the contractors involved is that the brick chosen for this
project being the light weight used brick and no proper main-
tenance taken to maintain the brick when it was fully explained
to the city before awarding of the contract of the typo of brick
that was being used being a light weight brick that would be
acceptable to chipping and would need more maintenance than
the usual hard type brick that is predominately used in this
type of construction. with very little documentation in our
files regarding background as to the original bidding process
negotiations that was done previous to construction of our
building, it is very hard to substantiate facts to what
previous staff and elected officials have done prior to this
time. It is my opinion to continue to pursue whatever means
that are necessary to alleviate this roof leakage problem
once and for all. By the proposed solution to the problem
by the affected parties involved being a phase step plan
wuuld only bring us further towards the colder part of the year,
henceforth, curbing all work related items until our next
construction season, thus living through another winter and
spring with a roof condition existing boaically as they are.
It would be my recommendation that we pursue this matter as
quickly as possible in the event that any corrective measures
that aro to be done be done as soon as possible. If these
mcaourca do not work that we oxpediate whatever action deemed
neeasoary to came up with some monetary amount for damages. To
be presented at Monday night's meeting will be a latter from
Mr. Ketchum and also a rough estimate of coats projected to the
total roof replacement and possible preventive maintenance
procoduron to continue for maintenance of the City Hall building.

City Building inspector
City of Monticello
Monticello, Minnesota 55362
August 19, 1983
Dear Gary:
After our meeting last Friday, August 12, 1983, we have discussed at
length with the contractors what we feel needs to be done to stop the
water which finds its way into the building.
In our discussions, we all believe the roof is basically sound and that
there are no hidden conditions from the leaking which are potentially
problem areas. It is, therefore, our recommendation that the leakage
problems be approached in a step-by-step method for resolution. Be-
cause the problem seems to come from a variety of sources, we will
identify each of the potential problem areas and make recomnehdations.
Therefore, we propose the examination of a series of `potential problem
areas in the building. Those areas are enumerated in priority below:
1. Building brick
We suspect that the bricks may be abso rbigg'""excessive amounts
of water as evidenced by the $palling of'brick'and some wall
leaks in the council ch -amber and entrance areas. We have
contacted a Subcontractor,, who will investigate the' wall and
give us, his opinion as to the advisability of waterproofing
the bricks. This investigation will odur on August 22, 1983
and a recommendation including costs will be made within a few
days. This is a common brick, although it is generally used
in residential construction.
2. Split shingles and electrical de-icing cables
These two items must be evaluated together because they occur
in the same location. It is our opinion that the cracked
shingles are a result of deflection in the roof caused by ice
dams of excessive size as first experienced in 1919. It has
been our experience that since the introduction of fiber glass
shingles in the latter seventies, that minor deflections to the
shingles can cause cracking.
GZtZ
Mauu)ru"s• Saud F;ua. Un O,.I l nal? .IAYPor I -Los AF94us
.•ir. Gary Anderson -2- August 19, 1983
The reason, in our opinion, that the electric cables did not
stop the ice build-up after they were installed is because
they do not extend beyond the roof overhang up onto the
warm part of the roof. Therefore, we recommend that the
roof cables be realigned so that they extend at least 18"
onto the warm part of the roof and all the cracked roof
shingles can be patched over with new shingles. We believe
the new shingles can be installed directly over the existing
shingles. The roofing subcontractor has been contaLted and
is estimating the cost for replacing the shingles. I have
been promised the cost figures the week of August 22, 1983
by the roofing subcontractor. I have not, however, gotten
any cost for relocating the cables as we did not install
them. Would you advise mr, as to your wishes regarding this
item?
3. Flashing over main entry vestibule
The roof over the main vestibule is subjected to large amounts
of run-off from adjacent walls and roofs. The normal flashing
detail which is used here should handle most conditions, but
in this case it seems not to be. We feel this area should
receive an additional piece of flashing extending over the
shingles all along the northwest side of the high banner
wall. I have been promised the cost figures the reek of
August 1.2, 1983 by the roofing Subcontractor.
We recommend as the first sten th7t the work :is priviau;ly outl'ned should
be accomplished and water tested. If leak,ng is still oewrring at this
point, we would examine the ruof and nake further recommendations to
eliminate any remaining leaks. We would repeat the process as required
until all leaking is eliminated.
We also investigated the potential for lowering the hanging light fixtures
and getting the ballast away from the ceiling to reduce heat transmitted
directly to the roof. The light manufacturer has infomed us that there
is no simple way to lower or insulate the base containing the ballast of
the light fixture. He recommended we leave the li ht fixtures as they are.
We recommend that when the time comes to re -roof the building, additional
insulation should be added to the roof to reduce heat loss. When the
roof was designed in 1976, the amount of insulation used on roofs was
much less than it is today and, therefore, has higher heat loss. In the
meantime, we will see if there are any other alternatives available to
reduce heat levels from the lights.
Mr. Gary Anderson -3- ..August 19, 1983
We thank you for your patience in this matter as so many of the original
people involved are no longer directly related to the project. I will
follow up this letter with information and costs from subcontractors
as I receive them during the week of August 22, 1983.

TO: City Hall Roof Leakage Problem File
FROM: Gary Anderson, Building Official
DATE: August 22, 1983
This morning at approximately 10:40 A.M., August 22, 1983, Mr. Hill
Stanton, Control Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, was here along with
Roger Mack, Park Director, to look over the exterior brick on the
City Hall building. In looking over the exterior brick, Mr.
Stanton noted different areas of cracking within the mortar joints
and on the brick itself he noted the expansion joints where the
brick is broken away from the caulking. Mr. Stanton indicated
some corrective matters that could be used to alleviate some of
our roof leakage problems. He also noted that just by doing the
exterior brick sealing itself would not be an overall cure to
our problem and that some other corrective matters may also have
to be taken caro of, ono being the flashing in the different
areae of the roof. The croduct Mr. Stanton r-onnnA ia b
hydrozo and could be applied with a sprayer onto the existing
brick. The product would seal cracks to a maximum of one -thirty
seconds of an inch thick. Cracks larger than this would have to
be filled with another product first, a clear coolant, than
sprayed over with this hydrozo. Mr. Stanton left a brochure show-
ing other buildings that have boon done with this product and the
people to contact on this. Mr. Stanton will be getting back to
the architect, Mr. Herb Ketcham,with a bid on his proposal to
seal ourexisting City Hall building with hydrozo.

Dear Herbs
This is a short letter in response to your hand delivered letter
from last Friday afternoon. I will respond to the numbered
items listed in your letter and how the City will react to your
proposed recommendations.
1. Building brick
I will agree with your recommendation that there may be
some absorption of water through the brick. Due to the
typo of brick selected, water proofing would be necessary
to seal the bricks.
2. Split shingles and electrical de-icing cables
My major concern of the application of shingles over the
existing shingles would be the method used in application.
That it will not impede with the initial application of
the new shingles to be patched over the existing cracks and
that it does not look like a patch work job here and
there on the existing roof.
The electrical de-icing cables were not a part of the
original bid on City Hall. If wa wanted a building
designed to use electrical de-icing cables, we would
have called for it in our original bid.

3. We would not only like to replace the flashing on the
northwest side of the high banner wall but also on the
southwest wall. These are the two areas that are
affecting the vestibule area. There should also be
flashing installed on the north wall of the Council
Chambers and also on the south wall of the main
building.
I would recommend that you have this work done as soon as possible
as we are nearing the fall season, which also means Che colder
months of the year.

5. Consideration of Appointing Gary Anderson City Assessor. (T.E.)
At the June 27, 1983 meeting, the Council adopted a resolution
requesting that the Department of Revenue reinstate the office
of City Assessor. On June 30, 1983, I received a letter from
the Commissioner of Revenue re-establishing the City Assessor's
off ice. Since that time, Gary and I have prepared a formal
job description. The next step would be to formally adopt the
job description, and once adopted, appoint Gary Anderson as the
City Assessor. In addition, a salary adjustment for added
duties would have to be determined and assigned.
Gary is currently paid $19,500.00 for building, zoning and
civil defense. we pay approximately $12,000 to the County for
assessing duties annually. Based on the League of Minnesota
Cities salary survey, I recommend that Gary receive increased
compensation of $3,500.00 per year for a total of $23,000.00
annually. An increase of $3,500.00 means an actual cash out-
lay to the City of $3,941.00 when we take into account increased
PF.RA and social security contributions. This amount still
reflects an approximate savings of $8,000.00 annually. One note
of caution: The first year we will not save that great an amount
of money since a certain sum will need to be invested in
tormally establishing the office. 'rhere will be a need to
purchase supplies and appropriate equipment. In addition,
there will be an added expense annually relating to a mileage
allowanco. This sum, however, is extremely difficult to
project having no history to make any judgements upon.
I also think the $23,000.00 figure is appropriate in that it in
in approximate alignment with the salaries we pay other depart-
ment heads. It is slightly higher, but I believe that it is
warranted since this position requires maintenance of special
state certificates. For budgetary purposes, we would allocate
$20,000 to the Building, Zoning, Assesaing Department and the
$3 ,000 to the Civil Defense Department. To date, 25% of the
person's salary has boon anaignod to Civil Defense, but in
conversations with Gary, not 25% of hie time is spent on Civil
Defense duties. It is our judgement that those figures more
accurately reflect the time spent on specific departmental
tanks .

position and a copy of the job description.

6. Consideration of Final Appointment for a Secretary in City Hall.
(T.E.)
Upon closing of applications for the secretary position in
City Hall, I had received in excess of 60 resumes. As a
matter of general practice, I sent to each applicant a
standard application form and requested they fill it in
and return it. Of the over 60 who responded, initially, 50
returned complete packets. Of that 50,doing a numerical
and as objective as possible ranking, I limited the number
of final candidates to S. During the last week, I have
interviewed all 8 candidates. As of this writing, I have
limited the final candidates to 3 and intend to check
references before making my final decision. While the
selection process has been very difficult, I feel we are
extremely fortunate with respect to the high level of
competency of so many of the applicants. Based purely

Council Agenda - 6/22/83
7. Consideration of Muncipal Liquor Store Financial Statement.
Review of Six Month Financial Statement - Highway Livors.
(R.W.)
Mark Irmiter will be present at the Council meeting to
answer any questions you may have in regard to the first
six month's of operation at the Liquor Store. Enclosed
with the agenda is a copy of the 6 month report ending
June 30, 1983. Due to the change over in the budget
format for 1983, some additional expense items have been
created for budget purposes, making the report a little
different than past years. This is the reason the
financial report only shows 1983 expenditures and does
not have a comparison item for item for 1982.
Although you should have a copy of the 6 month statement
Issued in August of 1982, for the first 6 months of 1982,
enclosed you will also find a copy of last year's financial
statements for the first 6 months of 1982, which you can
use to compare sales and expenses.
In summary, total sales for the first six months of 1983
were down about $16,500 or about 69 from last year's
figures. Total expenditures including bond interest cost
for the first 6 months of 1983 dropped approximately
$3,000 from 1982 with the resulting not income of $28,812
for the first 6 months of 1983,conpared to $29,266 for
the first six months of 1982.
REFERENCES: A copy of the financial statement for the
first six months of 1983 and oleo a copy of 1982's
financial statement.

Council Agenda - 8/22/83
8. Consideration of a Request from the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority for a Loan to Acquire Land. (T.E.)
List fall when we entered negotiations and provided Tax Increment
Financing for IXI, we concentrated all of our efforts on Lot 7,
Block 3, in Oakwood Industrial Park. During the original
negotiations and the presentation of the construction plan
for IXI, it was apparent that Lots 5 and 6 were intended to
be purchased and it was also intended that an option be taken
on that land. Because of the time limits that we faced last
fall, we purchased only Lot 7 and established our district
on only part of that lot. Upon certification of the first
tax increment district, we began negotiations for an option
on Lots 5 and 6 with the express intent of holding that land
for IXI. IXI's main concern was that once buying Lot 7, Lot 6
would be offered to another party at a higher price and because
IXI would have to have the land, they would be forced to go
with the higher rate. We said we would help prevent that by
doing the option. However, we were unable to arrive at an
option agreement with the Oakwood Industrial Park Partnership.
They took the position that the option fee should include all
penalty and interest and taxes that accrued against thu lwid,
not only for the current period and for any future periods
that might have to be held, but they also felt that we should
pay penalty and interest on delinquencies from that day
forward. It was our contention that we should not have to
pay the ongoing delinquency, penalty and interest since the
problem of delinquencies was one that was created by the
partnership and not by us. That point was never resolved
and ultimately an option was not agreed upon. Conversations
did, however, remain open.
IXI recently approached the Oakwood Partnership to recrucat
pormisoion to begin construction of their berm around all
of alta 5, 6 and 7, oven though they do not have ownership
of Lots 5 and 6, as yet. From a financial standpoint, IXI'a
plan is to bring in the heavy dirt moving equipment and have
them dig for all of the foundations and mova all of the fill
and do all of the grading at one time, rather than having to
hire machinery to come in on several other occasions to do
farts of the job. The Oakwood Partnership is uncomfortable
with allowing land that they still own to be graded and
bormod. I talked to Dae Johnson and expressed that if the
City had ownership, we would consider it but wo would require
a written g uarantoo that should IXI, for whatevor roaaon,
7
Council Agenda - 6/22/83
elect not to utilize the land, they would require to restore
it to its original condition. Dee Johnson indicated that they
would be happy to provide such a guarantee.
I wish to now address the financial considerations in making
this purchase. The HRA, as you are well aware, has, at this
time, very limited resources. Their only source of revenue
is anticipated through the various surplus of tax increments.
They do have available by law, the right to levy a special
tax, but by their own resolution they will not utilize a
tax levy for their purposes. The HRA is unanimous in that
position. Because they have limited resources, their only
recourse is to borrow money in order to purchase land. The
peculiar thing about borrowing money is that the lender
usually expects you to pay it back. The only way the HRA
can repay debt is by using the tax increment that they collect
annually and which is dedicated to the repayment of debt.
Where a particular project may not be scheduled for con-
struction for a year or two, then the tax increment would not
come to the HRA for three to four years. Thus, the problem.
If the HRA borrows money from a public lender now to buy the
land, the first payment would probably be due within 18 months,
out the HRA would not, at that time, have collected its first
increment to make that payment, nor do they have the surplus
funds in their account to make that payment. Thus, the request
to the city council to provide them with a loan that would be
of a demand type, and allowing the first payment to be post-
poned to the time of the collection of the first increment.
This is precisely the same arrangement that was made with the
City Council last fall when we initiated the I%I project.
The total acquisition price for free and clear title to Lots
5 and G. Block 3, of Oakwood Induatrial Park in $154,800.00.
Thin is computed at the price of X10,000 per acre plus all
assessments or a price of $13,030.00 per acre. I asked Rick
how our cash flow status appeared with respect to making that
loan in anticipation of certain paybacka. The Oakwood Partner-
ship intonda to do the following upon receipt of purchase price.
fq)proximatoly $28,500 would be paid directly to the City for
those assessments for future yours on Lots 5 and G. tq)proxi-
mately $25,200 will be paid to the County for delinquancioo
and 1903 taxes and aoacasments on hots 5 and 6. 90% or more
of that $25,200 would come back to the City within three
months with the root of the County distribution. Tho Oakwood
Partnership would retain approximately $10,000 to $12,000 to
covor their income tax liability for the sale of the land.
The balance of the money will be used to pay dollnquencios and
- 8 -
Council Agenda - 8/22/83
futures on other lots in Oakwood Park in an attempt to clear
a few lots of assessments. The end result is as follows-
Of the $154,800, approximately $12,000 will be held by the
Oakwood Partnership, approximately $76,000 will be paid
directly to the City, and approximately $67,000 will be
paid to the County (909 of which shall be returned to the
City within 3 months) . Rick has indicated that this does
not present a cash flow problem as long as we are expecting
return of the money in this fashion. Thus, of the $154,800
that is loaned to the HRA, about $142,000 will come back
to the City either directly or within 3 months with the
County distribution. At the same time, the HRA would have
a debt to the City Council of $154,800. That debt will be
repaid on demand through tax increments. Based on the
City -a most current bond issue as well as other current
issues, it is my opinion that 88 interest would be appro—
priate.

Council Agenda - 8/22/83
Consideration of Authorizing the submission of an Urban Develop-
ment Action Grant Application. (T.E.)
For the past few years, Monticello has been on the distressed
City list which is formulated by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). That list simply means that a City
which is named is eligible to apply for an Urban Development
Action Grant (UDAG). Up until this time, we have never had
a project which appeared to qualify for this type of project.
Basically, W%3t the programis, is that HUD issues a grant to
a City which can in turn lend that money to economic developer
at a reduced interest rate. when the money is paid hack with
interest, the community is allowed to keep the funds and re-
use in a similar fashion. It is a program that requires sub-
stantial commitment from enterprise. It is a competitive
program, such that the higher the ratio of private sector
dollars to public dollars creates a greater chance for
approval.
This past May, a now list of distressed cities was published
in the Federal Register and Monticello was excluded. This
means that the City no longer meeto the specialized criteria
established by HUU to be declared eliyible ful UDAG u,w,uy.
However, HUD allows any City that is being dropped from the
list one quarter to submit an application for any proposal
that had been in the development stage when their eligibility
had been revoked. As in the past, we did not have a project
that seemed appropriate. However, within the last two weeks
Fulfillment Systems has approached me in order to relocate
their business within the corporate limits. I explained to
Jack Peach, the President of Fulfillment, the UDAG procedure
and he expressed a genuine interest in attempting to meet
the August 31, deadline. Because he did express such an
interest, we have concentrated our efforts on preparing a
UDAG grant application. One of the requirements is that
a resolution be adopted by the Council that authorizes the
submission of that application. Without ouch an authorization,
our application packet is incomplete and would be rejected
prior to review. I should note that even with authorization
there is no guarantee that the grant would be approved.
Mr. Peach understands this and has stated that oven if the
grant does not go through, they are very interested in getting
established and relocated within the City. Thuo, submitting
the application whether successful or not, does not really
jeopardize our efforts to help Fulfillment Systems to re-
locate. ilia proposal is the kind of proposal that HUD likes
- 10 -
l
Council Agenda - 8/22/83
to see developed. It does address low and moderate income
employment opportunities for relatively unskilled persons.
He does have an affirmative action program for hiring
minorities and handicapped. He does utilize CETA employees
and DVR trained employees as often as he can. He does think
that he can acquire the formal commitment type letters that
are required for the application packet.
We on staff all realize that the deadline is very close and our efforts
may -be -for naught if we cannot assemble all of the
aata in time. We do, however, think that the proposal is
worth our efforts. We have already begun to assemble required
data and will concentrate our efforts on its completion.
Although I am going on vacation, Allan Pelvit has a clear
understanding of the urgency and the nature of the application
and will thus carry the burden of assembling the application.
Because I do think this is a worthy effort, I respectfully
request your adoption of the enclosed resolution authorizing
submission of our application.
