4. Consideration of Discussion of the 2020 Manufacturers' Week Breakfast Event
(Earlv October 2020)
Jim Thares noted that the Manufacturer's Appreciation Breakfast typically falls during
the first week of October. Due to the pandemic, staff would like to begin planning the
event or an alternative-activities per the direction of the IEDC. IEDC members noted that
instead of an in-person breakfast event, a certificate of "thanks" could be sent out to all
businesses in the community. Another suggestion was to have an all online/virtual event.
Members also mentioned having an in-person food delivery and thank you for local
manufacturers and their employees. Another suggestion was providing Monticello
branded items for all businesses in appreciation for their contributions to the community
in 2020.
Staff would consider these options and provide an update at the following IEDC meeting.
5. Consideration of Update of Coalition of Utilitv Cities (CUC) Or�anization, Goals
and recentiv completed Electrical Generatin� Facilitv Closure Impact Studies
Industrial and Economic Development Committee Minutes — August 4, 2020 Page 1 � 3
Jeff O'Neill provide an update regarding the Coalition of Utility Cities (CUC). He
noted that Monticello, along with seven other cities in Minnesota, belong to this
organization because they host large power plants owned by investor-owned utilities.
He mentioned that the organization focuses on lobbying, legislation, and
communication.
O'Neill stated that these host cities, including Monticello, are unique and that the
power plants present significant impacts to communities in areas such as
infrastructure, safety & preparedness, and land use & economic development
challenges. O'Neill noted that these power plants are often the largest tax payer, and a
significant and critical employer.
O'Neill stated that when conditions change in the energy industry, there could be
major repercussions in the host communities and for the people that live in these
communities. The CUC seeks to support any transitions and advocates for areas such
as protecting local taxpayers, adapting communities for post-plant life, and
maximizing assets for the future.
O'Neill noted that two critical studies, formed into the Host Community Transition
Study, have been created for the organization to provide a comprehensive view of the
economic and social impacts of hosting a large-scale utility. O'Neill noted that
community engagement was important in the creation of the plan. Many meetings,
surveys, and interviews were conducted to help build the study findings.
O'Neill provided a few quantitative and qualitative highlights as well as key
takeaways.
O'Neill also noted that the study was unveiled in a statewide webinar and as
testimony in front of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
O'Neill mentioned that the CUC was able to successfully work with Minnesota
legislators to establish a grant fund program of $2,000,000 to offer help for planning
and infrastructure proj ects to prepare for decommissioning. He also noted that the
PUC also recommended that facility decommission planning includes a community
impact component.
Next steps for Monticello were also discussed. O'Neill discussed continuing to
strengthen planning for employment center uses, continuing legislative efforts related
to transition funding, and learning from other nationwide and CUC communities as
they transition.
6. Reports (Verbal Reports):
a. Economic Development
Jim Thares provided the Economic Development report. He noted that the EDA
authorized a Small Business Emergency Grant Program to help support small
Industrial and Economic Development Committee Minutes — August 4, 2020 Page 2 � 3
businesses impacted by the pandemic. The grants total $5,000 and utilize the
Federal CARES Program funding. To date, there have been 17 grants approved
for small businesses in Monticello. The total fund is $200,000, equivalent to 40
grants.
b. Plannin� Commission A�enda (attached)
Angela Schumann noted that the Planning Commission meeting would begin at
6:15 p.m. with one public hearing for consideration of amendments to the
Monticello Zoning Ordinance. These amendments were only housekeeping items.
She also noted that she would provide an update on the 165-unit (Deephaven)
apartment complex construction schedule, Monti 2040 + Comprehensive Planning
process, and the Central Mississippi River Regional Planning Partnership's
(Framework 2030) work.
c. Citv Council
Jeff O'Neill mentioned that the Monticello City Council is currently in the 2021
budget process. The preliminary figures indicated an approximately 4.8 percent
increase to the property tax levy.
d. Chamber of Commerce
Marcy Anderson provided an update on behalf of the Monticello Chamber of
Commerce & Industry. She explained that the annual golf tournament scheduled
for September 24, 2020 has completely full registration and sponsorship.
Anderson also added that the Chamber delivered approximately 14,000 masks to

IEDC Agenda -9/O1/2020
4. Consideration of Proposed 2020 Manufacturers' Reco�nition Activities (JT)
A. REFERENCE & BACKGROUND
After the August IEDC Meeting, staff discussed a variety of recognition ideas which
are shown in the attached exhibit. Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, a modified
Manufacturers' Recognition activities plan has been outlined. The various proposed
activities reflect a blend of personalized recognition and also community awareness
raising of manufacturers' contributions while avoiding group gatherings. The
Manufacturers' Recognition activities and or event(s) have typically been the first or
second week of October.
Al. STAFF IMPACT: The staff impact related to considering the proposed
Manufacturers' Recognition activities is minimal. Staff have been performing similar
tasks for several years related to the IEDC's hosting of the Manufacturers'
Appreciation Breakfast event. No additional staff are needed to complete the
proposed 2020 activities. Preparing the reports for the IEDC consideration and a
budget presentation-request at the upcoming EDA meeting is part of normal staff
duties.
A2. BUDGET IMPACT: The cost of the proposed 2020 Manufacturers'
Recognition activities is estimated to range from $500 to $600 +/-. A request will be
made to the EDA asking them to approve a budget for the 2020 activities at the
September 9, 2020 meeting. No sponsors are being asked to make financial
contributions to the 2020 activities.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. No Motion; Information only
2. Motion of other as determined by the IEDC
C STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believe the proposed activities provide a nice blend of personal touch and
general public awareness activities promoting the value and contributions that
manufacturing companies offer to the community. The "goody bag" or donut
suggestion was not added to the 2020 activities due to the expected costs (estimated
to be about $2,000 +/-). In light of the lack of recruiting a sponsor for the 2020
Manufacturers' Recognition activities, the costs will be borne solely by the EDA.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
A. Proposed 2020 Manufacturers' Recognition Activities Outline

5. Consideration of Monti 2040 Economic Development Chapter (JT)
A. REFERENCE & BACKGROUND
The item is provided as an update to the IEDC regarding the progress and contents of
the Monti 2040 + Economic Development Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The
most recent edits are being completed on the Economic Development Chapter by the
consultants Lakota Group and WSB & Associates. The revised Economic
Development Chapter is expected to be completed and returned to City staff early in
the week of 8-31-20. It is important to note that the Goals, Policies and Strategies in
the Economic Development Chapter are somewhat modeled along the current 2020
IEDC Action Statements and the EDA Workplans (Goals and Objectives). Those two
2020 documents are attached to this report as reference.
An EDA Workshop is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. September 9, 2020 at which time the
consultants will walk the members through the details of the Economic Development
Chapter. That Workshop is open to the public. It will be a hybrid in-person and
virtual-remote meeting, so IEDC members can listen remotely and add comments if
interested.
Al. STAFF IMPACT: The staff impact related to IEDC consideration of the Monti
2040 + Comprehensive Plan Economic Development Chapter is minimal. No
additional in-house staff are needed to participate in this process.
A2. BUDGET IMPACT: There is no cost for the IEDC to consider the Economic
Development Chapter outside of staff time in preparing the report and organizing
materials as exhibits of the report.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. No Motion; Information only
2. Motion of other as determined by the IEDC
C STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is updating the IEDC on the Economic Development Chapter and making the
members aware of the opportunity to provide comments and feedback prior to the
Chapter being finalized. Members are encouraged to participate in the EDA
Workshop on September 9, 2020 (if interested) and offer comments.
