.).
Consideration of addin!.! or removing agenda items.
Ken Maus added discussion regarding a request for expansion of the DMRF target area.
This was placed as item 6A.
4. Consideration to hear of the interest of Block 3S propertv owners for revitalization of
rear-parkin!.! entrv areas as presented bv Consultant Grittman and authorization to move
forward.
Steve Grittman reported that he had spoken to several property o\vners on Block 3S and
discussed some concerns with the concepts he had previously brought to them. Grittman
had met again with some of these owners earlier that day. They stated concerns with
snow removal in the alley'. as well as possibly losing parking spots. Grittman had
redesigned a few concepts based on the property owners concerns. They requested
moving the dumpsters to a different location in the public parking lot area but Grittman
was later informed by Public Works that the parking lot was not able to handle the weight
of a garbage truck.
EDA Minutes - 08/21/01
.
Grittman ad'v'ised that one of the concepts would eliminate about 6 to 7 parking spots but
would maintain the trees. Also noted vvas a power pole located in the lot that would have
to be worked around.
Karen Snyder. property owner. noted that they "fight"" over parking near the building at
this time. She also noted that the alley is not being maintained during the winter and
when the snow melts the slush builds up creating pot holes. Grittman advised that the
alley is actually 2/3 owned by the property owners and 1/3 by the City and therefore may
not be high priority on the City's schedule for plo\ving. He also stated that the City does
not readily go onto private property for plowing. The property owners were not aware of
this previously. AI Loch, owner of Loch Jewelers, noted that he believes there is only
one catch basin for the entire alley. noting that the area is nat and he feels the key to
resolving a majority of the drainage problem would be snow removal. He liked the idea
of creating a terrace-like feeling up~rront near the buildings. making it more inviting.
CI int l-Ierbst questioned taking out head-in parking in certain spaces and putting it on
either side of the alley, although there may be an issue with the power poles that are
currently there.
.
Jim Agosto, property owner. stated he would prefer not to take out any parking or trees
ncar the building but does feel it is a good spot for the dumpster location. He did ask also
about the parking lot not being able to support the refuse trucks. may have to put up a
slab of concrete for the truck w-eight. Al Loch also stated that they had the parking lot
resurbced 2 years ago, again they stated that there is a drainage problem. Herbst stated
maybe they need to look at correcting the drainage problem prior to installing dumpsters
and plantings.
Susie Wojchouski. Chamber Director. also mentioned that last winter the alley was
neglected for quite some time which then the snow melted and created even more of a
problem. Ken Maus stated that perhaps this alley should be on the Public Works' regular
work schedule and Loch stated that coming right down the alley while clearing the
parking lot would eliminate a great deal of the problem. Maus also added that perhaps a
developers agreement should be issued to work something out with the Public Works
department since the alley belongs more to the property o\vners than the City. and is
probably on a lower priority list.
Ron Hoglund stated possibly an idea 'would be to give up the alley rights to the City and
have the City take over the alley. Wojchouski added that on a normal business day the
lot is practically full and reminded them that next year with the Broadway reconstruction.
there \vill be e\en more parking back on that lot.
.
Koropchak asked the owners if they had an interest for the FDA to look into the drainage
problem prior to beautification and Loch stated an interest as well as a willingness to

deed over alley rights to the City. Snyder stated that in speaking with other property
owners they were in favor of moving the dumpster location to the parking lot. She also
added she was in favor of some pull-in parking spots. Also discussed Flicker's having
access f()r their delivery trucks entering from Hwy 25 through the alley and the need to
ensure their access is maintained.
Maus suggested hiring a private party to move the snow from the alley onto the City's
parking lot and then having the City remove it from there. It was also noted that the
parking lot concept may make access for snow removal a little less convenient.
Koropchak requested Grittman verify existing drainage system with City Engineer and
research options for the property owners. Also advised to check with John Simola
regarding parking lot recontiguration. Maus stated that if a portion of this proposed
project could be done without impacting the drainage problem, they could possibly start
\vith the beautification process. Hoglund stated perhaps they should wait tor information
from the City Engineer. Maus did state his concern with the distance from the buildings
to the dumpsters. especially during winter months, stating the property owners probably
will not want to be carrying the garbage any further distance than that.
.
McCarty, CentCom, stated at this time they take their garage home to dispose of. The
property owners agreed they would have to police themselves regarding proper use of the
dumpsters. Maus stated Dominos would be the most appropriate to question regarding
use of the dumpsters in the proposed location as they would create the most trash.
Koropchak stated she will check with John Simola about a cost tor removing all the snow
and the building o\vncrs may opt to split the cost. It was decided that the best way is to
hire someone privately to move the snow from the alley onto the City parking lot and
have the City take it from there. Koropchak advised the property owners of the EDA's
\villingness to pay a significant amount of the proposed improvements and questioned if
the owners would be interested in entering into an agreement that the receptacles are
being used properly and the buildings arc maintained. They agreed that some type of
agreement should be written up. .
A l'vJOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND SECONDED BY ROGER
CARLSON TO TABLE ANY ACTION ON BLOCK 35 FOR FURTHER
INFORMA nON FROM olliE CITY ENGINEER AND PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.
There was further discussion regarding the possible phasing on this project starting with
pavers. lIearing no further discussion. motion carried unanirnously.

Koropchak advised that she had provided the EDA members \vith the balance of funds
they have left in their account.

EDA Minutes - 08/2\ 10 1
Consideration of Executive Director's Report.
Koropchak provided her Executive Director's report. adding that no payment had been
recei vcd from Bruce Hammond; the H- Window building is currently being used but they
do still have approximately 20.000 sq. ft. available. and that it is still on the market.
Also. Block 36 proposed project is possibly being scaled down and this may affect the
proposed joint parking.
Ken Maus stated that there was a group of property O\vners who approached him
regarding funds available for facade improvements in the DMRF and questioned if the
boundaries of this district could be expanded. Maus advised that it ,vas the owners of the
building that Ron Hoglund is in and that there are 5 owners who would like to re-do
signagc. etc.. but the building is not in the DMRF target area. [t was questioned if it was
feasible to put the building in the area to be eligible.
Koropchak stated that the EDA would need to revise their guidelines to extend the
boundary to other blocks. She advised that she would re~search the matter. Maus
suggested that the minutes be reviewed from approx. one year ago to see the rationale of
the pros and cons to expand out of the downtown area at that time. Herbst stated there
are a number of old buildings downtown and perhaps that could detine whether they
would or would not be eligible for the funds. Koropchak will research the minutes for the
next meeting. NlaUS asked if there was a way to create language in the guidelines that the
EDA can consider applicants on a case by case basis. Also noted that when the money is
spent that has been allotted for these projects, there would be no further funding.

EllA Agenda - 10/17/01
4.
Consideration of an update for revitalization of Block 35.
A. Reference and background:
a) Status of the alley catch basin and alley casement.
First the City has been unable to lind any record of recorded alley casements. The only
reference found was the attached letter of January 1978. Legal descriptions don't identify
easements; however. individual abstracts would note recorded casements. It's been a
general understanding between the property owners and the city that this area was
recorded as an easement for the purpose of a public alley to be maintained by the city.
The Public Works was not interested in removing snow from private property. The alley
and public parking lot will be plowed simultaneously and as quickly as possible.
b) Estimated costs to correct alley drainage.
Based the drainage concerns raised by the property owners at the last FDA meeting, I
requested the Public Works Department take a look at the area. Public Works Director
John Simola reported that there is one catch basin located to the easterly side of Block 35
alley and the depth of the catch basin is approximately 2.85 feet which perhaps indicates
the catch basin freezes creating the lack of drainage. The storm sewer line on Walnut
Street is about 15/16 feet deep. Upon request. Simola prepared a cost estimate to correct
the problcln: Remove and replace the concrete alley at a lower elevation to improve
drainage (drop 6 to 8 inches), and remove the existing catch basin and install two catch
basins at a lower level (drop to 5 to 7 feet). Simola's estimate is $48,8] 7 which docs not
inelude engineering costs nor the cost to slope the private surl~lce to match the new alley
elevation.
c) Review cost estimates previously provided by Planner Grittman.
At the July meeting, Planner Grittman presented two cost estimates for parking and trash
improvements. One estimate with no concrete sidewalk and curb ($50,000) and another
estimate with concrete sidewalk and curb ($75,000). The EDA offered financial
assistance in the amount of 75% to ] 00% of the cost to develop. At the August meeting,
a third concept to provide two rows of parking divided by the alley to accommodate the
request of the property owners for convenient, back-door parking was agreed upon
between the EDA and property owners. Grittman was to review this with Public Works.
d) Progress by property owners and reaction to new information.
In August the property owners were asked about the status of commitment and a
willingness to draft a maintenance agreement if the EDA financed 75% to 100% of the
cost estimates presented in July. Given the int(mnation provided by Simola, docs the
priority of the project change? If drainage and parking/trash improvements are
completed as one project, are the property owners willing to be assessed for a portion?
What percent? Are they willing to give written easements for the purpose of a public

.
alley?
e) Whcre do wc go from herc'!
At the August meeting, it was suggested to take a wait and see approach through the
winter relative to the drainage issue and to ask the Publie Works to remove the snow
quieker. Perhaps, the drainage issue being a second phase project. Given the
information provided by Simola, here are some alternatives:
B. Altcrnativc Action:
1. Proceed as of August direction, property owners commit and draft maintenance
agreelnent with EDA commitment of 7YY<l to 100% of third parking/trash
improvement option costs and with the drainage issue as secondary or a phase two
project.
I Given information provided by Simola, the drainage issue becOlnes priority with
EDA funding. The property owners providing written easements for the purpose
ofa public alley. Spring project.
].
Given information provided by Simola, the drainage issue and the third
parking/trash improvement option are completed as one project. Property owners
willing to be assessed a percentage and provide written easements for purpose of
public alley. Is the EDA's 75% to 10011'l1 commitment for only parking/trash
improvements or to include alley improvement? Spring project.
.
4. Elect not to proceed with a project.
5. Other suggestion.
6. Table any action.
C. Recommcndation:
No recommendation is given. As reported in August, the balance of the OM RF is
approximately $140,000 including Chamber reimbursement and McCarty wall
improvement. Simola recommends the need for a written easement for the purpose of
public alley ifpublic dollars are being used. Perhaps, the EDA may want to consider a
flat $100,000 donation. The BRA committed $90,000 TIF surplus dollars toward Block
36 parking improvements associated with the Amoco and O'Donnell projects. O'Donnell
project will be re-valued in the spring. Amoco redevelopment on schedule.

drawing of a value of $1 00 at either the Rand Mansion or Riverwood Confcrcnce Center.
Volunteers may be necessary, as the city hall is closed for a three-day weekend (Veterans Day)
and the Director may be out-or-town. Docs anyone have industrial racks to display products?
2002 Minnesota Manufacturers Register - In the next few days, an order will be placed for a CD-

and $114 respectively. Our issue is 1996.
Electro Industries - Attended their Expansion Open House on October 2 and sent a plant from the
IDC. CoupIc of things I noted were the improvements in the production flow and the lighting
within the production and workstation areas. Congratulations to Merrilyn and Bill.
.
.
.
Wiha Tools Expansion - Plans were received the first week of October f(Jr the 16,000 sq Ii
addition. With the building official on vacation and with winter construction Llst approaching,
the department has been swamped. The chief building official has been handling two roles:
inspections and reviews. The review process should be completed within the next week or so.
Paul Allen is concerned about increased costs due to winter construction or thc decision to hold
the project.
Allied COInpanies - At the IDC Banquet, I met Steve Heimbuch, Heimbuch Commercial, and
Heidi Van lied, ^llied Companies. Mr. Heimbuch is assisting with the marketing elTorts f(lr thc
commercial/industrial rental f~lCility proposed for East 7 Street. I was told they are looking at a
spring construction.
IRTI - Project moving along. Looking for a November 1 move-in date. Located at 9696 Fallon
A venue NE. Plans are 101' an Open House, Steve Budd, owner.
EDMA Company - Project moving along. Pat Jensen decided against a ground-breaking
reception in order to keep construction moving along with the onset of winter. Did agree to a
ground breaking photo f(lr newspaper. Open House latcr.
II-Window building - Received a call from a second party interested in the 11- Window building.
Looking f()r city incentives. The company now leases in Plymouth and would require about
30,000 sq ft of the I~lcility. The company provides engineering, manufacturing, and software
solutions to Ineet the high demands of today" s technology driven businesses. The economic has
reduced their cmployment from 50 to 20. Wages range from $30,000 to $60,000. Although a
down economy. the company thinks the time to purchase is now. The company has two other
spin-off businesses they'd like to relocate to H- Window facility. The president of the company
has a Monticello address. Contacting lDS Telecom, need tlW DSL a must.
UMC - I did respond to Don lomann relative to the depth of the production floor via voice mail
after several calls. He has not returned my telephone calls. Also, I invited Tomann, Les Wurm
of Stamping Production, and the above company to the banquet as guest but received no
acceptances. I have heard via other sources, that Monticello is on the top of the list if not able to
expand in Hamel. The city hall receptionist's husband made a service call to the Tomann home
and reported this: Tomann talked about his business and Monticello for about a half-hour.
Remember he was very clear with us that thcir first choice was to expand on the 46 acres they
currently own in Ilamel. Need municipal infrastructure improvements for expansion is the
holdup. I,ooked at II-Window building. Good company, employs 100 people, excellent wages.
Products f()r medical and aviation industry sector.
Fay-Mar building ~ No new updatc.
Right Choice Fulfillment - Wrote a lettcr of the behalf of the HRA inquiring to the activity
within the facility and offered assistance in marketing the f~lcility for lease or sale. No response

Re: GMEF Loan No. OJ 8
Dear Steve:
A couple of items to follow through with relative to the City of Monticello GMEF Loan. First, attached
is the amortization schedule for the city loan which closed June 29,200 I. The nrst monthly payment is
due on or before November 1,200 I. The City does not mail monthly invoices.
Secondly, I have not received the signature page of the Guaranty Agreement. Due to the incorrect name
and spelling of the name of the company and president, the signature page needed to be resigned by
Arnie Berquam and Roger Meyer. The original signature page was given to you. Please return this
. executed document as soon as possible.
Lastly, as you recall the commercial closer, Karen Clare of Old Republic, could not record the EDA
mortgage because of the incorrect name of the com pany and incorrect spell ing of the name of the
company president; however, upon correction of the docLlments the EDA recorded the mortgage.
Attached you will nnd the invoices from the County Auditor, Agricultural Preservation Fee, and
Recorder's Fee. The total amount due to the Monticello EDA is $191.75. Please remit to Monticello
EDA, 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1, Monticello, MN 55362.
Should you have any questions, please call me at 763-271-3208. The building is looking great.
Sincerely,
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

. DOWNTOWN MONTICELLO REVITALIZATION FUND GUIDELINES
CITY OF MONTICELLO
505 WALNUT STREET, SUITE 1
MONTICELLO, MN 55362
(763) 271-3208
PURPOSE
The Monticello Downtown and Riverfront Plan provides a guide for development in the
downtown area. As part of its efforts to implement the Plan, the Monticello Economic
Development Authority (EDA) offers financial assistance and incentives to property owners
through a program known as the Downtown Monticello Revitalization Fund (DMRF).
The DMRF seeks to promote the revitalization of downtown Monticello by:
*
Enhancing storefronts and facades in accordance with the design guidelines in the
Plan.
*
Encouraging the rehabilitation of building interiors to bring them into compliance
with local codes and ordinances.
.
*
Encouraging building rehabilitation to provide space suitable for the proposed use.
*
Providing funding to close the "gap" between financing needed to undertake the
project and the amount raised by equity and private loans.
*
Providing economic incentives to locate businesses in the Downtown.
These guidelines describe the funding parameters and eligibility criteria for programs offered by
the EDA. Meeting the eligibility criteria does not entitle an applicant to funding. The distribution
of funds is the sole decision of the EDA.
TARGET AREA
These financial incentives and assistance will be available for existing buildings within the planning
area described in the Downtown and Riverfront Plan. Preference will be given to property
located in Blocks 34,35,36, 51, 52, and 53, Original Plat, City of Monticello.
