3. REVIEW OF COMPARATIVE IND STRIAL START-UP AND OPERATING COSTS
FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS.
Koropchak reported to the IDC that to do an accurate ten year
projection comparison, she would need to contact each
community to establish a past percentage rate increase graph
than apply this information to the projections. The IDC
felt that time was crucial for the visit of potential and
existing industries, yet recognized the importance of an
accurate study to document if the City of Monticello costs
are out of line or if we re competitive? The committee
questions if the City is willing or unable to change the
sewer hook-up costs? Don Smith made a motion for Koropchak
to continue the research a d projections of utility rates
and indirect costs associated with industrial development
inorder for the committee to make recommendations to the
city staff or city council. This to be completed by the
March meeting. Motion seconded by Lowell Schrupp and with
no further discussion the otion passed.
Koropchak advised the IDC bout previous concerns by Winkelman
Building Corporation regar ing the City staff's attitude and
procedures for development within the city. She told of
Mr. Harold Jesh telephone onversation with her stating the
their company would no lon er tolerate working under the
same conditions with the City staff and asked to have the
message related to the Cit Administrator and/or Mayor.

recognized the busy sched Ie of the City Administrator without
an Assistant. The IDC fe t more immediate action should be
taken as this attitude co cern of the city staff has existed
for several years. With ontinued comments and the addition
of local realtors concern of the City's interest to participate
with enhancement of indus rial development. Also. the IDC questioned
whether this is a precept on or reality. or if the city lives in
the shadow of previous ad inistration. The IDC is interested in
the City staff's attitude. the City's industrial development
requirements. and how the rules are applied. The committee felt
this was an opportune tim for them to receive direct information
from an outside developer on comparative state and city trends.
how Monticello fits into hese trends. Recommendation by the
IDC was for Koropchak to rrange a meeting date with Winkelman
Building Corporation Pres dent Duane Schultz. Marketing Director
Harold Jesh, and Supt. Mi e and the IDC for a direct and honest
exchange of information, hereafter. the IDC can develop an action plan for
recommendation if need be. It was of the opinion of the IDC
that no other City staff erson attend this meeting to allow
the builder/contractor ease of open expression. The IDC
is interested in Winkelma preception and the meeting is not
to justify staffs positio. Also, the IDC agreed that
it is essential for the City Administrator to attend the IDC
regular meetings to develop continuity between the city, the
IDC, and developers (to help optain the IDC goals and solve problems).
