CONSIDERATION OF ENTERING INTO A PRIVEATE REDEVELOPMENT CONTRACT WITH SEMPER DEVELOPMENT LTD. A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The EDA reviewed a preliminary TIF Spending Plan at their regular June meeting. As part of the new 2010 TIF law, the City Council is required to hold a public hearing to utilize surplus TIF funds. The City Council held the required public hearing at their June 28, 2010 meeting. There was no citizen input. The City Council recommended the EDA approve a final TIF spending plan for TIF District 1 -22 and enter into a Private Redevelopment Contract with Semper Development LTD. Subsequent to the June 28, 2010 City Council meeting, Kennedy and Graven determined the EDA should also hold a public hearing to comply with business subsidy laws. The Business Subsidy law requires the EDA hold a public hearing when funding more than 150,000 dollars worth of subsidy. The EDA preliminary approved a business subsidy in the amount of $389,000. Kennedy and Graven drafted a Private Redevelopment Contract. Staff sent the proposed contact to Semper Development. At the time of writing this staff report, staff has not received any feedback from the applicant. However, staff does not anticipate any issues. It should be noted the proposed contract follows the standard Private Redevelopment Contracts the EDA has approved in the past. B. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The City Council recommending the EDA approve a final TIF Spending Plan for TIF District 1 -22 and entering into a Private Redevelopment Contract with Semper Development LTD. City Staff supports the City Councils recommendation. C. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve entering into a Private Redevelopment Contract with Semper Development LTD. 2. Motion to deny entering into a Private Redevelopment Contract with Semper Development LTD. 3. Motion to table D. SUPPORTING DATA: a.

Acceptance of EDA Fund Balance Report. (TK) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Attached are the annual estimated fund balance report of all the tax increment districts within the City and the balance of the general EDA fund. This report is the audited balances of the districts and the EDA Fund. The report reflects the early decertification of TIF Districts 1 -26, 1 -28, and 1 -33, which all obligations were paid off in 2009. Also District 1 -22 (Downtown) provides the funding source for the 2004 Taxable TIF Bond. This bond fund had more cash in it then will be needed to pay off the obligation. Therefore in 2009 staff has transferred $890,000 back into TIF District 1 -22 as required. The 2004 Taxable TIF Bond was called in August of 2010 with the funds on hand. Another transfer staff made and reflected in this report is for the Otter Creek Business Park land purchases. The funds for the purchase of the land came from the EDA general account however when land was sold the funds received were recorded in other City Funds for some reason. Since staff can not find any explanation for this staff recommends transferring into the EDA general account the $1,365,000 in land sales, which is reflected in this report. Finally, all the TIF Districts were set up as pay -as- you -go obligations, which if the district does not generate enough increment to pay off the pay -as- you -go obligation the loss is to the developer /property owner and not the EDA or City. The exceptions are Districts 1 -36 (Dahlheimer), 1 -37 (Karlburger Foods), and 1 -38 (Walker -In- Store) which were provided upfront assistance in the form of reduced land acquisition costs of the EDA's Otter Creek Business Park land. For these Districts the EDA sold the land at a price below market value and as increment comes in from the district we are paying the EDA back for this discounted land price. However, with the increment generated from Districts 1 -36 and 1 -38 the EDA will not recoup their land costs. This would mean the EDA sold the land at something less than $1.00 a square foot as originally planned. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Accept the 2009 EDA Fund Balance Report. 2.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The EDA and City Council unanimously approved moving forward with an Embracing Downtown study at the joint meeting on July 14, 2010, with the caveat that staff research viable funding sources. City Staff has been working through various budgeting options. Staff would like to propose the following breakdown to fund the $237,695 Embracing Downtown project: TIF Surplus Funds: $128,000 approved by EDA from TIF 1 -2 Proposing: $32,000 additional surplus TIF funds from 1 -2 Reason: TIF District 1 -2 will expire in December of this year. The EDA directed staff to work with a property owner downtown to purchase property. New information has come to light regarding this property and therefore the property is not currently available for purchase. In light of this new information, it will be difficult to purchase a property by December. In order to capitalize on the availability of these funds, staff would like the EDA to consider maximizing the remaining funds in 1 -2. Staff understands the EDA desires to purchase property, however funds are still available in Districts 5 & 6 and potentially 1 -22 (after decertifying). It could be said that funding a project like Embracing Downtown, will ultimately provide a greater return on investment and provide a guide as to specific properties the EDA should purchase to pave the way for efficient & effective redevelopment. General Fund: Proposing $77,695 Reason: The EDA and City Council made it clear that a portion of the study should come out of the General fund. Staff is proposing to ask the City Council to fund the remaining $77,695. This could be viewed as covering a little more than the Land Use section ($76,000). Grants: Proposing: Staff will apply for any available grants. It is possible the City could receive an Initiative Foundation Grant, a Live Wright Grant (for the pedestrian section), and other Economic Development grants. Staff will be diligent in researching options to reduce both the EDA and City general fund expenses. July 14, 2010 EDA & CC B. RECOMMENDATION: City Staff would like to discuss the proposed funding options with the EDA. Staff is recommending the EDA make a formal motion approving utilizing $160,000 dollars of surplus TIF from District 1 -2 and recommend the City Council allocate $77,695 dollars in the 2011 General Fund budget. It is anticipated the City Council would review the proposal at their August 23, 2010 meeting. City Staff, McComb Group, and the Steering Committee are anxious to move this project forward. C. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve utilizing $160,000 of surplus TIF from District 1 -2 and recommend the City Council allocate $77,695 in the 2011 General Fund Budget to fund the Embracing Downtown Study. 2. Motion to approve utilizing of surplus TIF dollars and recommend the City Council allocate in the 2011 General Fund Budget to fund the Embracing Downtown Study. 3. Motion to table action for further research. D. SUPPORTING DATA: a. None provided 8. INITIATE A LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSE FOR EXISTING MONTICELLO BUSINESSES REFERENCE & BACKGROUND: Since starting in Monticello, the Economic Development Director has desired to initiate a training and /or education course for existing businesses. Upon completion of the BR &E survey, it once again became clear that businesses are interested in training opportunities localized if at all possible. City Staff and the Chamber Director meet with Jamie Simonsen from North Hennepin Technical College to discuss an opportunity to provide leadership and management training to our local business leaders. The college has put together a dynamic eight month, once a month, 4 hr per course program. In order to make the program more affordable to the business community, city staff is asking the EDA to subsidize a portion of the registration fee. The EDA /HRA budget currently has a fund balance of $11,000 in the "Professional Services" line item. Staff is proposing to utilize approximately $8,000 dollars of this fund to subsidize this business retention effort. In preparing next year's EDA/HRA staff will incorporate a Business Retention Education line item and will be requesting this become a regular budgeted program. It is becoming more and more critical that communities provide initiatives and /or programs that show the existing businesses that we do more than just attract them to our community. Business retention efforts and initiatives are becoming critical to a communities economic sustainability. Through the BR &E survey it became clear that we need to show the business community we work diligently to keep your business in town. RECOMMENDATION: City Staff will recommend the EDA approve the course and subsidize up to $8,000 dollars (25 participants) in the 2010 budget. The Chamber Board met on August 10, 2010 to review the proposed concept and course outline. The Chamber Board made a motion supporting the Leadership Training initiative and authorized participation in marketing the program, assisting with meeting logistics, and coordinating breakfast. The IEDC will be meeting on August 17th to review this agenda item. Staff will provide a verbal update to the EDA. A representative from North Hennepin Community College will be present to further review the need for this type of initiative and to review the proposed course outline. ACTION: 1. Motion to approve subsidizing up to $8,000 dollars of registration fees for existing Monticello businesses to participate in a L.E.AD. program instructed by North Hennepin Community College.

In response to the Business Retention and Expansion survey, it is evident that there are a variety of needs as identified by area business leaders. We have attempted to address the major areas of concern and are open to feedback and suggestions. North Hennepin Community College Adult Education and Training is committed to providing innovative continuing education, customized training, and adult degree options. We accomplish this through quality instruction, service, and unique solutions. NHCC has a strong history in serving business and industry. Whether it is training focused on computer applications or leadership development, we strive to create a learning environment matched with expert instructors to meet the needs of our community partners. Through customized training or series such as the NHCC Leadership Breakfast Lectures, we are committed to providing opportunities for leaders to engage in learning to learn more about themselves, their teams and their organization. During the current economy, we have seen a paradigm shift occurring in organizations and investment in training. Difficult decisions are being made by organizations: balancing the need to be economically sound and to continue to invest in their employees. Research has shown that, particularly during these tough economic times, organizations who continue to invest in their current employees will weather the storm with a stronger and more committed group of individuals working for them. We are proud to partner with the City of Monticello and the Monticello Chamber of Commerce and Industry as they invest in their local business community. The long -term investment made by these two organizations will enable Monticello to retain the current strong base of business and industry we see today and to continue to attract new opportunities to the area.

INDUSTRY OF THE YEAR AWARD & INDUSTRIAL RECOGNITION EVENT REFERENCE & BACKGROUND: The IEDC has discussed the concept of creating an Industry of the Year award at a few of their past meetings. Originally the IEDC was provided with the idea of the Chamber and the City partnering together on an Industry of the Year Award. The Chamber Board made the decision to keep their Business of the Year award as is and allow for flexibility to recognize an industry business if determined appropriate. City Staff will be revisiting this topic with the IEDC at their August 17, 2010 meeting. Manufacturing Month is coming up in October and it is City Staff's opinion the IEDC and EDA should formally recognize the many industries in the City. Staff would like to formalize an annual Industry of the Year Award through the IEDC and EDA. Attached is a draft outline or starting point to establish a method to recognize an industry every year. In conjunction with establishing a process and criteria for an Industry of the Year award. Staff would also like to discuss initiating an event in October that is targeted to the industries in Monticello. A few options for an Industry Event include: • Breakfast round table with the Mayor, IEDC /EDA reps. and/or applicable speaker • Catered lunch with a speaker • Happy hour networking • ? ?? Staff is looking for ideas and suggestions. Industry leaders have been a little bit difficult to engage in recent months. Staff has heard repeatedly that they are doing a lot more with the daily demands of their company due to the slower economy. Therefore staff would recommend a short and convenient event. The location could be at one of the industries or the New River Medical Center. Staff would like to discuss venue and location ideas with the IEDC. RECOMMENDATION: City Staff would like to discuss the proposed criteria outlined in the Industry of the Year Award and determine an appropriate industry recognition event to initiate in October. The IEDC will be meeting on August 17`h and will provide a formal recommendation to the EDA. ACTION: 1. Motion to approve a process and criteria establishing an Industry of the Year Award and recognition event with an approximate budget of $400 to cover food, award, and invitation costs. 2.
