MINUT S
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL D VELOPMENT COMMISSION
August 23, 1979 - 7:30 A.M.
Members Present: John poirier, Lois choepf, Bud Schrupp, Marn Flicker,
Lloyd Lund.
At this meeting, the assessment rolls as revised for the 1974-1 improvement
project were reviewed. These assessm nt rolls are reviewed every three
years to allow changes for additional square footage, deletion of square
footage, additional parking spaces pr vided or deleted and change in the
nature of the business.
The revised assessment rolls with the changes indicated above were reviewed
and approved by the committee, with the exception of the parking space
credit granted to Stokes Marine of t n spaces. It should be pointed out
that Stokes Marine was granted ten s aces from the inception of the parking
lot improvement project and members f the Committee thought possibly
Stokes Marine were given credit for en parking spaces even though they were
not hardsurfaced, with the understan ing that they would be hardsurfaced
within a years period of time, or so e duration. It was the consensus
of the Committee that this should be hardsurfaced to allow Stokes Marine
credit, but they did not know how th original assessment formula was
determined to grant parking space dit.

At their meeting, the Committee also recommended that the City pursue
the purchase of the Oakwood School Block for $100,000, which has been
offered by Independent School Distri t #882 with the understanding that
the City take over the library. Furthermore, Committeemember, Bud Schrupp,
indicated that the Development Corp ration offered the City of Monticello
Lots 13 and 14 in Block 52, which a e behind the former Monticello Ford
site, for parking development. The Committee recommended that the City
Council also purchase this area. H wever, before any final purchase was
finalized, the Committee recommende that possibly Howard Dahlgren be
retained to review the whole downto n area, including the Oakwood Block
and Block 52 to see what the best u e for these properties were.

At this point, the meeting was adjour ed; however, after further review,
I have found a copy of the proposal t at was issued by Thore Meyer on
the original assessments dated Februa Y 11, 1974, copy of which is
attached to these minutes, and Item B 5 indicates "a credit shall be
given for each parking stall provided on their own private property."
There is no indication that initially the requirement was to have
hardsurfacing. Additionally, I found a copy of the Minutes of February 25,
1975, in which it was indicated in it m 2 - "Parking lots in use prior
to December 1, 1974 would be given cr dit and smith-pringle-Foster Ins.
group would be given credit provided rea is hardsurfaced by July 1, 1975.
Any other parking areas developed aft r December 1, 1974 would not be
given credit until next 3 year assess ent review." From these Minutes
it would then appear that credit was 0 be granted prior to December 1974
for all parking lots whether they wer hardsurfaced or not, but after
that date they would be hardsurfaced 0 be granted credit.
