2. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE AUGUST 19 AND SEPTEMBER 27, 1993
BRA MINUTES.
Lowell Schrupp made a motion to approve the August 19 and

3.
CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW THE POLYCAST, INC. PROPOSAL.
BRA members received a copy of the proposal submi tted to
Polycast, Inc. The proposal included $55,000 of upfront TIF
assistance, the only public funding dollars proposed.
Koropchak reported Mr. Wolfsteller indicated dollars were
available for transfer rather than bond for the $55,000. The
potential developer, Roy Schulz, has expressed the desire for
increased public financial assistance. However, no si te
selection has been made by the company. Based on the size and
nature of the Annandale business, no other public funding will
be proposed. The IDC Prospect Team reported the company could
improve their internal physical housekeeping; however, the
outside appeared well kept. The HRA suggested no aggressive
action be taken to encourage a Monticello site location;
however, the HRA did not oppose the use of TIF.

BETWEEN THE HRA AND STEPHEN AND JOAN BIRKELAND, JR. FOR

the redeveloper of the terms and conditions of the contract
and what the redeveloper stands to lose if the contract is not
satisfied. The motion was seconded by Everette Ellison and
with no further discussion, passed unanimously.
5. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW BDS, INC. BILLINGS.
The HRA reviewed the BDS bills through October 29, 1993.
Although concerned with a few minor fees, the HRA was most
concerned with the approximate $5,000 fee charged the HRA/City
for the H-Window funding applications. The BRA suggested a
letter be addressed to Mr. Pelstring for a further explanation
of the charges in'-question and requesting a proposal of flat-
rate fee options for the HRA members to consider.
6. CONSIDERATION OF A LETTER FROM BRADLEY BARGER AND HRA
MEMBEESHIP TERMS.
Mr. Brad Barger's letter was reviewed by the HRA. Mr. Barger
expressed interest in HRA membership. The BRA was receptive
of Mr. Barger's letter; however, with the present five-board
membership satisfying statutory requirements, no action was
necessary.
It was noted that Chairperson Larson's term expires in
December of 1993.
7. OTHER BUSINESS.
liRA members reviewed lot sizes and tax and assessment
information on the City's six lots, the HRA's lot, and Ron and
Dee Johnson's lot. It was recommended that a letter be
addressed to the Johnsons, inquiring of their interest to swap
lots with the HRA or to sellout-right.
Ben Smi th suggested a si te location for potential senior
housing. The area identified was to the east of the
Ccdarcrcst Apartments where currently a lot is for sale. It
was suggested to contact Brad Larson regarding the site. Mr.
St. Hilaire expressed his opinion that the BRA blew the first
private senior housing deal through the 50-day delay caused by
authorization of the senior housing market study. One of the
property in Mr. Brad Larson's original plan along East
Broadway was sold to a private individual.
