4. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMMEND D CITY TRUNK FEES.
Koropchak explained to the DC the proposed Industrial Sewer
Hook-up Fee Schedule which as prepared by John Simo1a.
The schedule is proposed on a sliding scale with the first
10 units per day at $300.00, second 10 units per day at $200.00,
third 10 units per day at $ 00.00, and remaining units at $50.00
per each 10 units. Pluggin these numbers into the previous
two sewer usage examples an adjustment of $1,000.00 or a 17%
reduction resulted in Assum tion A., sewer usage of 5,000
gals/day. In the second ex mple the adjustment was $75,500.00
or a 79% reduction in Assu ption B., sewer usage of 80,000
gals/day. The committee mde no suggestion to approve,
disapprove, or recommend t e sliding scale proposed Sewer
Hook-up Fee Schedule to th City Council. After some discussion,
a motion was made by Jay M rrell to extend the comparative
municpal fees as presented plus landscaping fees over a ten
year projection, wherebye, the end results may indicate
areas inwhich Monticello i lower and those to be our selling
points. The motion was se onded by Ron Hoglund. Discussion
requested Maple Grove to b included in the comparison study.
President Johnson asked if Tax Increment Financing could be
used for hook-up fees? Ko opchak responded she did not believe
so, only public improvemen s and in her opinion hook-up fees do not
qualify as public improvem nts, however, this is a question to
verify with Bob Dieke of H lmes and Graven. A motion was made
by Joel Winkelman to table any recommendations for sewer hook-up

fees, seconded by Jay Morrel , the motion passed with no further
dicussion. Comparison are t be presented at the next meeting.
5. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDED 1988 IDC GOALS.
The IDC went over the goals hich were written and recommended
by President Johnson and Kor pchak. Pres. Johnson asked
for input and additional recommendations from the IDC. Emphasis
was placed on the continued ork with our existing industries.
A suggestion was made to as existing businesses if monies
were available to them, wou d they consider expansion in Monticello?
Mayor Grimsmo expressed tha NSP does influence Monticello
image to some prospects as community with higher wages. Others
also felt the City employee ' wages enhanced that image.
Don Smith made two addition 1 recommendations: one, continued
support of the extended are metro lines, and two, continue
with the planned joint meet ng between local state representatives
and the IDC. Koropchak is 0 contact Richard Hankel of Elk
River for information on an industrial regional airport in
Big Lake township. Don Smi h made a motion to approve the
written recommended 1988 ID Goals with the addition of the
two goals listed above, the e goals to be shared with the
City Council, Planning Comm ssion, and Chamber of Commerce.
Jay Morrell seconded the mo ion and with no further discussion
the motion passed.
.
6. REPORTS.
Koropchak reiterated the re, orts on the Beverage Processing Company,
Hutchinson Technology inc., and Modern Quilters as written in the
agenda supplement. In addi' ion the IDC recommended that Koropchak
call Atlas, Inc. after the ublicity of their proposed Elk River
facility quiets down. The DC sees the Monticello community
more receptive to this industry as the community was to the
NSP Nuclear Plant. Atlas, Inc. produces and tests scrubbing
equipment for hazardous waste incinerators.
7. UPDATE ON RECRUITMENT OF I C SPEAKER CURT CARLSON.
Mayor Grimsmo reported that Mr. Carlson would have a problem
with committment in advanc of three months and if the
committee would be interes ed in a substitute. The committee
saw this as a normal respo se and said to proceed.

5. CONSIDERATION OF SPEAKER'S OPIC FOR THE IDC BAN DET.
I received a telephone call from Mr. Tom Jardine of the
Carlson Companies, Inc. He was responding to the request
of the IDC to have Mr. Curt Carlson as guest speaker at
our fall banquet. He expla ned that since Carlson Companies,
Inc. celebrates it's 50th a niversary this year, Mr. Carlson's
invitations and committemnts are numerous. Mr. Jardine
understood the first topic request was "foreign companies
or businesses". Mr. Jardi e does not view Carlson Companies,
Inc. as a company with expertise in foreign business, although,
not clear on the topic req est. He is requesting a letter
which includes the date of the banquet, number of people
expected, type of audience, location of the banquet, and a
"specific" topic for the s eaker, wherebye, a substitute
for Mr. Carlson may be sug ested if need be.

6. CONTINUED. Darter Plastics - Wall Salovich
Darter Plastics current location is in Big
Lake Township w'th employment of 12. The
company is look"ng for an existing building with
4,000-10,000 sq ft. Projected employment of 20
within first ye r. Because of Big Lake Township's
building ordina ce, they are unable to expand at
their present 1 cation. They have looked at Becker
which will give them land for barely nothing and
financial help or building construction plus
a guarantee of 0 tax increase for the next five
years. Also, I'm aware that they've talked with
the City of Big Lake. In late December, I initially
talked to Mr. Sa10vich and based on the requested
sq ft had him contact Decorative Services. Last week,
Maxwell Realty called me for city incentives to
assist with the sale of the Best-In-Webb Buid1ing.
Because of the urgency to expand Mr. Salovich
was very inter sted in the building, however,
is concerned a out the future taxes on the building.
Also, Fred at axwe11 Realty expressed that local
realtors are c ncerned about the lack of interest
by the City to encourage industrial business into
Monticello. I suggested they expresstheir concerns
on paper and a dress them to the IDC. Because of
legalities, I on't suggest the City of Monticello
defer taxes or guarantee no tax increases, however,
I do strongly elieve we need to consider an
Economic Fund eparate from City envo1vement.

H-WINDOW TO BE INTRO UCED TO MINNESOTA
.._--------'~
Developed in Norway in 1959, a
new window product called the H-
WINDOW will be introduced in
early 1988 to the Minnesota con-
struction market.
The company "NAWCO MINNE-
SOTA INC.," has completed con-
struction on a new 28,000 square
foot manufacturing plant and ad.
ministrative office in Monticello
Minnesota. When the fully auto-
matic plant is ready for production,
the company will have made a $3.5
million investment in Minnesota
and its people.
With plans to be in production in
February, the plant is hopeful that
they will be in full production within
a year. At full production, they will
be capable of producing 40,000
windows annually and employ 40
to 50 Minnesotans.
Although this will be the first time
the H.WINDOW will be produced in
the U.S., you can hardly call it a
new product. With 29 years of cold
weather technology in making a
premium durable and energy effi.
cient window, the H-WINDOW has
