Mr. Carlson gave the background information about Pyro Industries.
Inc. Pyro Industries manufactu es a Whitfield pellet-burning

Carlson is interested in reloca ing his company to Monticello.
He stated that the Whitfield pe let-burning stove is 100% combust-
able. is at .9 grams or below t e 1988 national emission standard.
and is EPA approved in Oregon. His resons to locate in Minnesota
are: Minnesota is his home. ec nomical purchase cost of cast
iron in Wiscon~n. and positive distribution assets. Negative factors
of Minnesota are: workmen's co pensation. tax structure. and
relocation cost. Mr. Carlson feels the Minnesota State Programs
discourage small businesses to locate in Minnesota.

Previously, Dave Peterson has m t with Mr. Carlson and suggested
the best financial program avai able in Minnesota which Mr.
Peterson felt would meet the St te's qualifications and yet be
most benefical to Mr. Carlson's company. The State Program
most applicable to Pyro Industr'es is the Small Cities Economic
Development Program which is a 250,000.00 grant, based on a
rating system. Mr. Carlson, Da e Peterson, Tom Eidem, and
myself have also met on previou occasions. On December 4th,
I wrote a letter to Mr. Carlson stating our support of Pyro
Industries, Inc. and our willin ness to proceed with grant
application. At this time, I h ve not heard from Mr. Carlson.

The IDC asked if the HRA could urchase the Clow Stamping
Building. At present the HRA does not have sufficient funds.
The Tax Increment Districts estblished in the past will start
to generate monies within the ear future. Also to make a
project feasible the purchase of an existing building would
require expansion, inorder to ge erate a tax increase. The
legalities of the present Clow Stamping Industrial Revenue
Bonds in the event the building as sold or leased would
require a bond opinion (review b an attorney).
