1. CALL TO ORDER.
Chairperson Shelly Johnso called the IDC meeting to order at

APPROVAL OF THE MAY 18, 1989 IDC MINUTES.
.
Ron Hoglund made a motion to approve the May 18, 1989 IDC
minutes, seconded by Harve Kendall and with no further
discussion the IDC minutes were approved as written.
3.
CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW T ULATION RESULTS FROM THE JOINT
GOVERNMENTAL UNITS MEETING.
.
Jeff O'Neill thanked membe s of the IDC for their participation
in the joint meeting held une 5 at the Fire Hall and expressed
plans for this to be an an ual meeting. Mr. O'Neill explained
the method used in tabulat"ng the results and informed the
IDC that the results were resented to the City Council, however,
not as a formal agenda ite The IDC felt the meeting process
went real well but possib1 too much weight was carried by
the two veto votes. Ot er comments by the IDC were:
negative vote results of a potential speculative building
and the airport improvemen issues, the strong interest
to promote the retail busi esses and the extended area
metro service, the importa ce of the quality of life, and
the fact that no Senior Ci izen improvement issues were
mentioned. The IDC fur the discussed the issue "to
promote the retail busines " and the interpretation of it's need.
For the IDC to be involved could be a very controversial
issue. O'Neill stated the city has a limited amount of
available retail space, Ke Maus felt they were referring
to financial incentives as the HRA's TIF use is for non-
competitive commerical bus"nesses or could apply if
blight, soil corrections, r major public improvements are necessary to
the extent of available pr ject increment. The IDC
suggested the City Council authorize city staff to earmark
retail business promotion s a 1990 goal. Also, the IDC
asked to be kept posted on the progress and plans which
result from this meeting.

4. CONTINUED. TITAN RECREAT ONAL PRODUCTS, INC. - A Greater
Monticello En erprise Fund application form having
been mailed t Titan Recreational Products in May
and returned as been followed up by a letter
stating the .informal'applicatio:c. for requeste.dc:,GMEF.
did meet t e general GMEF policy guidelines.
Thereafter the company must make formal loan application
at their desig ated lending institution. At this
time no formal application has been requested, however,
in conversatio with the commerical lender the first
thing is for t, e owner, Wright County State Bank and
Titan Recreati nal Products to negotiate and agree
to a purchase rice of the facility (Old Best-in-Webb).
The request fo the use of TIF for the proposed 5,000
sq ft paint ro m expansion is not feasible because
when the numbe s are applied to determine the annual
base year adju tment factor (average over five years)
times the base apacity value causes an increase
inflation of t e property in the second year to be
greater than t e new capacity value. State Statutory
dictates the a justment factor be applied to only
TIF Economic D stricts which means the difference between
the tax increm nt and the adjusted tax increment is
retained for d stribution between the county, school,
city and hospi al districts. Potential of 20 jobs.

BONDHUS CORPO TION - The Greater Monticello Enterprise
Fund application form was returned and a letter stating
the informal ap lication for requested GMEF met the
