ers for the better part of
three years),. let the
Diamondbacks even it up.
In the seventh, the
Diamondbacks got to
Duenslag and the Twins
bullpen for four runs,
stretching their lead to 6-2.
The Twins responded
with two runs on a Kubel
triple in the eighth, only to
see the Diamondbacks
come back with two runs
of their own in the bottom
half of that inning. Little
things like that cost you
games. A two -run lead in
the ninth is tough to over-
come. A four -run lead is
nearly impossible.
Sure enough, the Twins
scored three runs while
recording just one out in
the ninth inning. With
three and four hitter$ Jason
Kubel and Morneau corn-
ing to the plate with the
bases loaded and one out,
it didn't look like those
extra Diamondback runs in
ground out to second to
end the game. Just like
that, another opportunity
was lost and more
momentum squandered.
The next night, the
Twins took a 6-3 lead into
the eighth when left-hand-
ed specialist Glen Perkins
got hurt, and forced
Gardenhire to bring his
closer in an inning early.
Capps wasn't up to the
task. He allowed six run-
ners to cross the plate in
the eighth (four credited to
him), and a 6-3 lead quick-
ly turned into a 9-6 loss.
Good teams might not
finish every comeback and
can't hold every lead. But
more often than not, they
find a way to come out on
top.
For the past decade, the
Twins have fielded teams
that have this very asset,
It's time to adroit that this
year's team doesn't.

5. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING FINAL ANNUAL DUES PAYMENT TO
WRIGHT COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP:
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
In February the EDA authorized a six month trial membership to the Wright County
Economic Development Partnership. The trail membership related to the fact a new
Executive Director had recently been hired and requested the EDA allow him time to make
necessary changes to the organization to be more effective.
B. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
At this time, City Staff is recommending the City continue to participate in the Partnership
until the end of the year and then re- evaluate. While the organization continues to go
through many different changes and transitions, some positive progress has been made.
Buffalo has rejoined the organization and Otsego and Waverly are also seriously
considering joining. An Administrators group has been formed to specifically discuss how
we can progressively market Wright County to new robust companies. The organization
is also looking at modifying monthly luncheon speakers to try to gain higher attendance
rates. While City Staff believes the organization still needs to continue to make
improvements for the betterment of the organization, it would seem counterproductive to
pull out of the organization when other Cities are joining forces and stepping forward to
collectively create a better economic climate in Wright County
C. ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
1. Motion to approve authorizing payment in the ainount of $1,087 for the second half of
2011 membership dues to Wright County Economic Development Partnership.
2. Motion to deny paying Wright County Economic Development Partnership the second
half of 2011 membership dues.
3. Table action for further research and discussion.

6. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION #2011 -68 CALLING FOR A
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED BUSINESS SUBSIDY AND
CONVEYANCE OF CERTAIN EDA PROPERTY TO SUBURBAN
MANUFACTURING AND CONCURRING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TO CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF TIF DISTRICT 1-
39. (MB)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Suburban Manufacturing is a local manufacturing company providing solutions in areas such
as hydraulics, lubrication, fluid mechanics, and pneumatics. Their current facility is located
at 301 Chelsea Road. Suburban is experiencing tremendous growth and has determined it is
time to expand their facility. They are proposing to construct a 35,000 to 40,000 square foot
office, machining, and warehouse facility in the Monticello Business Center. The proposed
project will bring new full -time permanent jobs to Monticello. The exact number of jobs will
be determined within the next few weeks as negotiations continue to occur. They would like
to subdivide Outlot C of Otter Creek and situate the building adjacent to Chelsea Road and
Dalton Avenue. Suburban Manufacturing has received a copy of the Preliminary
Development Agreement and submitted a deposit of $5,000. An additional $5,000 dollars
will be required by August 1, 2011.
It is anticipated that the City Council will approve a resolution calling for a public hearing
date of August 22, 2011 at their July 11, 2011 meeting. The public hearing is associated with
the modification of the Redevelopment Plan of the Central Monticello Redevelopment Project
No. 1 and establishment of TIF District No. 1 -39 and approval of the TIF Plan.
TIF District No. 1 -39 will be created as an Economic Development District to assist in the
write -down of land and infrastructure (potentially) costs to Suburban Manufacturing. In order
to initiate the TIP process and sale of land, the EDA will need to call for a public hearing to
consider awarding a business subsidy and conveyance of EDA property to Suburban
Manufacturing. The EDA will also need to make a motion concurring with the City
Council's action to call for a public hearing to modify the Redevelopment Plan for Central
Monticello Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the proposed establishment of Tax Increment
Financing District 1 -39.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Motion concurring with the City Council's action to adopt Resolution #2011 -61
calling for a public hearing to be held on August 22, 2011, to consider the proposed
Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Central Monticello Redevelopment
Project No. 1 and the proposed establishment of Tax Increment Financing District 1-
39 (Suburban Manufacturing) and approval of the TIF Plan.
2. Motion to adopt Resolution #2011 -68 calling for a public bearing on the proposed
awarding of a business subsidy and conveyance of certain EDA property to Suburban
Manufacturing.
EDA Agenda: 07/13/11
2. Motion to deny moving forward with the creation of TIF District #I -39 and
conveyance of land to Suburban Manufacturing.
3. Motion to table the item for further research and discussion.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends Alternative #1 and #2. Suburban Manufacturing is a local company
desiring to expand and relocate their current facility to the EDA /City owned industrial park.
The company will create additional livable wage jobs and expand the City's tax base in the
future. The City and EDA has approved many similar requests including; Karlsburger,
Dahlheimer Distribution, UMC, etc.. The City and EDA have stated a desire to support local
business expansions. Therefore Staff believes calling for a public hearing to consider
awarding a business subsidy and conveying property along with concurring with the City
Council action of calling for a public hearing for the creation of a new TIF District for the
purposes of supporting a local business expansion is consistent with past practice and desired
City Council /EDA direction.

Economic Development Director Updates:
IEDC:
The IEDC did not hold a meeting in July.
City Council:
The City Council approved allocating matching funds to continue to purchase phase 3 of
Bertram Chain of Lakes, the Park and Trail map was approved, and they approved rezoning
the old bowling alley from I -1 to B -2 for the purposes of allowing Quarry Church to develop
on the site.
On July 11, 2011 the City Council will consider the following items:
a. Improvement project to replace pavers along Walnut Street
b. Installing a box culvert for CSAH 75 Pedestrian Underpass as part of the CSAH 75
and 120«' Street intersection improvement project
Planning Commission: See attached agenda
BR &E:
No new updates.
Inquiries:
City Staff is working with Suburban Manufacturing to construct a new facility within the
EDA's industrial park.
Aroplax's warehouse addition continues to move forward. Staff sent an email to the owner's
(Steve and Paul) the week of June 27th inquiring how the addition was coming along and
congratulating them on making their expansion plans a reality. Steve and Paul responded
stating the expansion was proceeding in good order.
Marketing / Venues:
The Greater MSP organization is a private and public organization recently established to
collectively address economic development in the state of MN . Below is a description of
Greater MSP's mission and objectives:
Greater MSP is a private - public partnership whose mission is to stimulate economic growth and
prosperity in the Minneapolis Saint Paul region. Its primary role is to be a value -added resource to
all economic development organizations and activities throughout the region, with the goal of a
brighter future for all residents of the region.
Together with our economic development partners, Greater MSP will provide vision, strategy,
resources, and staff support to link state and local governments and organizations involved with
job creation, regional marketing, and business recruitment and retention.
Specifically, Greater MSP will lead or partner with existing organizations to:
• Set a strategic vision for regional economic development
• Define and guide a tactical economic development agenda
• Brand and market our region to internal and external audiences
• Retain and expand current businesses in the region
• Attract new businesses to the region
• Connect businesses with local resources and incentives
City Staff has been contacted by Ted Mondale, consultant working with Greater MSP, to
assist in efforts connecting Wright County to Greater MSP. It is anticipated an event for local
Wright County business leaders will be held at the end of July. Aligning ourselves with an
organization like Greater MSP one has the potential to give Monticello great exposure to
robust companies. For example, the Board of Directors for the organization consists of
executives from Ecolab, General Mills, Cargill, and US Bank Corporation.
Normal social media, direct mailings, and attendance at important conferences continue to
occur.
Business Communications & Retention Initiatives:
Staff completed a second business video update through Wright County Cable commission. It
is anticipated the video will be posted on the economic development website by mid July.
Jim Mcklenburg and the Economic Development Director met in June to discuss Project Lead
the Way. Jim will be providing a formal presentation on the program to the IEDC in August.
City Staff is trying to schedule a meeting with the Monticello Superintendent, District
Curriculum Director, MN Workforce Center, and local businesses to address the importance
of offering the robust Project Lead the Way curriculum to students.
In an effort to implement a local education or training program to Monticello businesses, City
Staff has been working with St. Cloud Technical College to create an effective list of
appropriate classes. A few ideas have been discussed with local businesses including: safety,
technical math, geometrical tolerance & dimensioning, and welding. Staff contacted several
manufacturing companies inquiring about their interest to send their employees to any of
these classes. Staff has received a lake warm response. However, staff does understand the
importance of continuing to offer education opportunities to businesses and therefore will
continue to follow up to potentially offer a pilot class this fall.
Embracing Downtown:
A downtown meeting was held on June 28, 2011. The consulting team presented their draft
preferred alternative plan and began discussing the financial /implementation part of the
project. Please see attached power point presentation. The meeting was well attended by
downtown stake holders. Subsequent to the meeting, the Economic Development Director
reviewed the Scope of Work contract signed by the City and McCombs Group. At this
juncture it is important to complete an audit of the process and contract. A lengthy email was
sent to the consulting team outlining outstanding items, establishing expectations for the
remainder of the process, and determining a September la` deadline for draft final documents
to be submitted to staff.
Economic Development related articles:
None at this time.
Misc.
EDA July 13, 2011
Ehlers has completed the requested review of TIF 1 -22. Staff is in the process of reviewing
the information. It is anticipated the item will be put on the August agenda for review and
direction.
Budget preparations and discussions are in the beginning stages for 2012. If the EDA would
like to budget for a specific initiative or project next year please contact either the Economic
Development Director or Finance Director to discuss. It is anticipated staff will bring forward
a proposed budget for the EDA at the August meeting.

5. 1-94 off ramp north ramp requires
lengthened right turn lane.
6. Intersections south of 1-94 operate
adequately through 2030 with downtown
revitalization.
Summary of Findings —
Secondary Intersections
7. Traffic signal at Highway 25 and River Street
should remain operational to optimize off-
peak local access.
8. Queues from Highway 25 and Broadway will
affect Locust Street access during PM Peak
Hours; operations acceptable at most times.
g. Queues from Highway 25 and Broadway will
affect Cedar Street access during PM Peak
Hours.
10. Queues from Highway 25 and Broadway will
extend past 3i0 Street during Peak Hours.
Recommend right-in/right-out per Concept
Plans to limit conflicts.
11. Analyzed 5"1 Street for potential right-in/right-
out access. Benefits are small considering
costs for right-of-way needed, and need to
extend median on Highway 25.
