Adjourn 1 MINUTES WORKSHOP MEETING – ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (EDA) Wednesday, January 11th, 2017 -4:30 p.m. Academy Room, Monticello Community Center Present: Bill Demeules, Steve Johnson, Tracy Hinz, James Davidson, and Lloyd Hilgart Absent: Bill Tapper Staff: Angela Schumann, Jeff O’Neill, Jim Thares, Jacob Thunander Others: Wayne Elam 1. Call to Order Bill Demeules called the workshop meeting of the Monticello EDA to order at 4:30 p.m. 2. Roll Call 3. Industrial Development Goals Angela Schumann stated the intent of the workshop was to provide an overview of industrial land availability. a. Comprehensive Plan Angela Schumann said that an objective of the Economic Development section of the Comprehensive Plan is to create step-up development in all sectors including industrial. She further explained goals of attracting and retaining living wage jobs; providing step up housing; increasing and encouraging tax base growth; general redevelopment; and downtown revitalization. Schumann reminded the EDA that the goals of the Comprehensive Plan are always in sight for staff. b. Business Recruitment and Development Criteria and Subsidy Overview Jim Thares discussed a criteria ranking worksheet that was created to help in the development of a subsidy package for prospective businesses. He discussed four prospects (Groebner Inc., Shred-N-Go, a precision machining company, and a large international firm) and where they fell on the criteria worksheet. Schumann added that the goal of the worksheet was to set up benchmarks for what the EDA would like to achieve, which would then help to determine the level of subsidy that EDA could offer to prospective businesses based on where they fit with the criteria. Lloyd Hilgart asked if current industries could be placed in the criteria to compare with current prospects. Thares confirmed. 4. Industrial Land Availability – Overview and Next Steps Angela Schumann explained the next part of the workshop was to determine where industrial land development could potentially occur. Schumann noted there was less than 80 acres of developable land, potentially less with new stormwater ponding requirements. 2 a. Industrial Land Availability i. Guided ii. Zoned iii. Short/Mid/Long-Term Planning: 1. Otter Creek o Current status of parcels o Site limitations o Stormwater study o Comp Plan Amendment – 13 AC parcel o Shovel ready status for remaining parcels  Review WSB proposal and DEED info o Adjust market rate land cost o Next Steps: Feasibility Study authorization Jim Thares noted that information provided at a previous EDA meeting, the total amount of developable acreage in Otter Creek Business Park excluded wetlands, new stormwater ponding requirements, and utility easements. Thares said there was less than forty acres available, without accounting for the several possible prospects interested in locating at Otter Creek. Angela Schumann suggested the EDA consider conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and encumbrance studies to understand the limitations of land development prior to purchasing new land. Thares also explained that a storm water study would be presented to the EDA in March or April to identify where additional ponding would be required. Thares thought that two or three additional ponds may need to be considered in Otter Creek. Schumann pointed out a seventeen acre parcel southeast of Otter Creek that was annexed into the City. It is guided residential and zoned agricultural. This would require City Council action to amend the comprehensive plan and rezone the area industrial. Schumann and Thares explained three attached proposals from WSB would complete work required to have sites in Otter Creek qualify for the ‘shovel-ready’ designation. The ‘shovel ready’ status would give developers confidence to quickly begin construction in the Park. Lloyd Hilgart asked if ‘shovel ready’ meant determining the size of each lot. Thares stated that it was not the intent to set the lot size via the ‘shovel ready’ status. Hilgart also asked about grading. Thares stated the master grading requirements would simply be included in an overall plan and physical grading would occur with development. Jeff O’Neill mentioned there should be money in the EDA fund to complete some of the grading if desired and/or the completion of additional land studies. 3 Discussion followed about the benefits of regional ponding requirements decreasing the cost for developers, and the cost of the storm water trunk fees. Regional ponding allows developers to maximize the land for buildings and a parking. Wayne Elam mentioned that generally ten percent of land is used for ponding. 2. Spike o Relationship to Otter Creek o Extension of road network o Public Works interest/City partnership o Acreage opened to development o Comp plan amendment o Covenants and Outdoor Storage  Review covenants and outdoor storage language o Site limitations Angela Schumann noted that about 106 acres adjacent to Otter Creek Business Park are owned by the Spike family. To the north and east the land is guided industrial and to the west and south the land is guided residential. Schumann mentioned that if purchased, there would be a collector route through this property. She also stated that there has been interest in constructing a public works building in this area, but no formal decision has been made. If the EDA was interested in purchasing the land, they could determine the type of development they’d like to see occur in the area. Jim Thares also reviewed the current covenants in Otter Creek. Thares said that if the City owned the Spike property, similar covenants could be created, if desired. Thares also reviewed a document with less restrictive covenants that would allow businesses to have some outdoor storage. 3. Featherstone o Discuss prior planning and optimal use o Relationship to Koch property o Next Steps: Discussion with property owner/Comprehensive Plan Amendment Angela Schumann stated the Featherstone land is approximately sixty acres of guided industrial land that has been annexed to the City and preliminarily platted. Schumann stated the importance of having industrial land available for development, but also being cognizant of where that type of land is located and any potential affects (e.g. traffic volume) that come with development. 4. NW Area o Interchange planning o Character of development 4 Angela Schumann stated the northwest area of the City is expected to be the next growth area for residential and industrial development. An interchange study is being completed and would help further clarify the type of development that could potentially occur in this area. Currently, nearby utilities, natural amenities, the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park and Highway 39 are all located in or near the northwest area. E.

MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 6. Consideration of Loan Underwriting Proposal from Central Minnesota Development Company (CMDC) Jim Thares explained the potential for several loan applications in the next twelve months. Thares mentioned concerns with the amount of time it takes to underwrite loans and requested entering into an agreement with Central Minnesota Development Company (CMDC) to help facilitate the process. A list of cities that have contracted with CMDC for similar services was provided. It was noted that these communities had positive 2 working experiences with the organization. The price for underwriting would cost 1.5% or $4,000, whichever is greater. This cost could potentially be transferred to the borrower. Kevin Weeres, Vice President of CMDC, introduced himself to the EDA. Bill Demeules asked how long CMDC has been helping underwrite loans. Weeres replied that the business has been established since 1978 as a private non-profit, certified development company. The primarily responsibility of CMDC is to originate Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans which is an economic development and job creation program. Weeres noted that CMDC has been working with cities for similar services for the past seven years. In addition to underwriting services, CMDC can assist with loan servicing. Bill Demeules asked if CMDC provides loan compliance services for job and wage requirements and reporting through the life of the loan. Weeres replied they do not provide those types of services, but they could assist with the collection of payments and servicing. Steve Johnson asked if there were differences between the SBA loan underwriting services. Weeres commented that the CMDC uses the same guidelines as the SBA. If applying for a SBA loan; CMDC, SBA, and the banks could provide underwriting. Bill Demeules suggested that a certain loan amount be set by the EDA to participate in loan underwriting for cost effectiveness. Lloyd Hilgart asked about the GMEF loan fund. Thares replied there was 1.3 million dollars set aside. Demeueles commented that the original loan fund was established from a $300,000 liquor fund. The EDA, before merging with the HRA, used the interest from the liquor fund combined with interest from county and state loan funds, to establish the current fund balance. Steve Johnson asked if the City Council has been using underwriting services. Thares noted that if the EDA authorized a loan underwriting service with CMDC, he would also propose the City Council have a similar service. Tracy Hinz asked what the EDA’s actions could be. Weeres stated that if the EDA approved the CMDC to enter into an underwriting agreement, they would craft a contract with the specific services they would provide. Lloyd Hilgart asked when the last GMEF loan was approved. Angela Schumann stated the loan fund was utilized in a commercial project in the mid-2000s, but there are currently no funds being used. Schumann noted that only one loan has defaulted in the history of the fund. TRACY HINZ MOVED TO AUTHORIZE THE EDA TO REVIEW A DRAFT AGREEMENT FROM CMDC TO ENTER INTO LOAN UNDERWRITING SERVICES WITH FINAL APPROVAL AT A FUTURE MEETING. STEVE JOHNSON SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 3 7. Consideration of approving ratification of Steering Committee for Small Area Study and appointment of EDA representatives to Steering Committee Jim Thares mentioned the Steering Committee for the Small Area study has begun forming with representation from the City Council, EDA, Planning Commission, Parks Commission, IEDC, Chamber of Commerce, and at-large members. Thares asked that two members from the EDA be selected to sit on the Steering Committee. Concerns with a quorum of the EDA were discussed. Bill Demeules asked how the at-large members would be selected. Angela Schumann recommended that two members that have either property or business ownership in the downtown be selected for the committee. JIM DAVIDSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE RATIFICATION OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE SMALL AREA STUDY PROCESS WITH THE ADDITION OF ONE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBER. TRACY HINZ SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. BILL DEMEULES MOVED TO APPOINT TRACY HINZ AND STEVE JOHNSON AS REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE DOWNTOWN SMALL AREA STUDY STEERING COMMITTEE. LLOYD HILGART SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 8. Consideration of appointing EDA member to Prospect Committee Jim Thares explained that at the last EDA meeting, President Demueles was selected for the Prospect Committee to help facilitate and consolidate the process. Thares requested the appointment of an additional EDA member, preferably a City Council member. TRACY HINZ MOVED TO APPOINT JIM DAVIDSON TO THE PROSPECT TEAM- LAND SUBSIDY DISCUSSION COMMITTEE. STEVE JOHNSON SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 9. Director’s Report Jim Thares explained that Wright County, Sherburne, Benton and Stearns Counties, the Central Minnesota Jobs and Training Services Center, the Federal EDA and the Initiative Foundation will be creating a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the 7W District. A community conversation will occur on January 26th to discuss Human Capital. This is an 15 month process with regular meetings, which are open to the public to attend. Thares also mentioned a second draft Housing Study is being prepared by WSB. The EDA will be considering adoption of the completed Housing Study at a future meeting. 4 Thares noted the City has four active prospects including: a large international firm, Groebner Inc., Shred-N-Go, and a precision machining firm. Lastly, Thares stated that April Studer has signed the purchase agreement for the sale of 349 West Broadway. The EDA will also sign the agreement for finalization. The closing date is April 5th, with an expected remodel completion of July. 10. Adjourn STEVE JOHNSON MOVED TO ADJOURN THE REGULAR MEETING AT 6:48 P.M. JIM DAVIDSON SECONDED THE MOTION.

In order to assist you in budget planning for your community, I am sending this notice in advance for the year of 2017. This is not an invoice, but rather a thank you and a request to remember the Partnership and its efforts when navigating your budget process. Municipalities' dues are calculated based on the recent State Demographer's population estimates figures. Actual dues will be based on the most recent statistics. The ever-changing profile of Wright County and the increased demand for the Partnerships' services helped determine this policy. This year we have increased dues by 3% as our latest increase was in 2015. Member investnr payment for FY 2017: $2445.90 The Partnership has worked hard to increase the visibility of Wright County and its cities for business development. We have generated and disseminated numerous businesses leads thus far, have conducted business retention and expansion visits, frequently answer business development questions generated from our website and referrals, created a new Marketing Committee dedicated to marketing our communities and county, worked to become a Small Business Development Center through SCSU, and continue to provide support to the communities and businesses whom we serve. Feel free to call to chat as many other projects are underway that will directly benefit your community. With your continued support, the Partnership will be better able to provide service in these areas and bring a solid return on your investment. If you'd like a presentation by the Partnership to your city council we'd be happy to do so. Thank you. We sincerely appreciate your commitment to supporting economic development efforts in Wright County. I look forward to working with you in 20171 Sincerely, Duane Northagen, Executive Director 763-477-3086 dnorthagen (a wriehtpartnership.org 310 pm EDA Agenda: 12/14/16 9. Consideration of approving 2017 Membership Dues to Wricht County Economic Development Partnership (JT) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: This item is for consideration of approving the 2017 Membership Dues for Wright County Economic Development Partnership (WCEDP). The proposed 2017 annual dues are $2,44590. This is 3.0 percent increase (+$71.20) over the 2016 amount of $2,374.66. The EDA has been involved with the WCEDP as a member for many years. In collaborating with and supporting the WCEDP, it brings the potential to leverage additional economic development funding for projects and strengthens the local economy. In essence, collaboration on economic development efforts is a key strategy of local progress. It should also be noted that regional organizations like MNCAR can also be accessed through WCEDP membership, further leveraging the fee expenses. Al. Staff Impact: There is minimal staff time involved in preparing the staff report for consideration of the 2017 Annual WCEDP Membership Dues. A2. Budget Impact: Funds for the 2017 Membership Dues in the WCEDP amount to $2,529.90. These expenses were budgeted for in the Dues, Membership and Subscriptions line in the budget approved by the EDA and City Council. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve the 2017 Annual WCEDP Membership Dues in the amount of $2,445.90. 2. Motion to deny approval of the 2017 Annual WCEDP Membership Dues in the amount of $2,445.90. 3. Motion to table the approval of the 2017 Annual WCEDP Membership Dues in the amount of $2,445.90 for further research or until a later date. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Alternative #1 wherein the 2017 Annual WCEDP Membership Dues are approved in the amount of $2,445.90. By participating in the WCEDP, the EDA benefits through networking (broker events), information sharing and collaboration on development issues and leveraging funding for development projects. A recent example of collaboration was the MNCAR Expo wherein Wright County sponsored a booth and provided information about Monticello sites and opportunities upon request. D. SUPPORTING DATA: A.

The WCEDP team would like to thank you for supporting the Wright County Economic Development Partnership. Your commitment to the vitality of Wright County through your member-investorship helps meet our shared goals. We hope that you continue to benefit and enjoy your association with the Partnership.

The proposed changes relate to the payment term for equipment loans and the real estate balloon payment timeframe. Comments from businesses and bankers suggest that it is much more helpful to extend the time frame for the balloon payment out to 10 years as opposed to 5 years. The extra time frame is more attractive in that it allows the borrower additional time (60 months) to prepare to make the large payment. The equipment portion of the payment term is likewise adjusted to match the potential timeframe of the real estate payback term. There may be instances where a borrower could gain loan approval for an expansion of facilities along with purchase of production equipment. The slight tweak to the equipment payback timeframe allows for possible consistency in the payment. A1. STAFF IMPACT:There is minimal staff impact in considering modifying the GMEF Loan Guidelines. A2. BUDGET IMPACT:There is a no budgetary impact due to the EDA’s consideration of modifying the GMEF Loan Guidelines as proposed. B.ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1.Motion to modify the GMEF Loan Guidelines as presented. 2.Motion to table modification of the GMEF Loan Guidelines for further research. C.STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the EDA modify the GMEF Loan Guidelines as presented. The proposed modification is related to the repayment terms for equipment and real estate. By extending the balloon payment from 5 years to 10 years, it reduces default risk and is more helpful to borrowers by giving them more time to prepare to make the large payment. There is not a requirement to hold a public hearing to modify the GMEF Loan Guidelines, so action could be taken at the regular February meeting if the EDA so desires. D.SUPPORTING DATA: A.GMEF Loan Guidelines proposal (markups language added) 1 GREATER MONTICELLO ENTERPRISE FUND GUIDELINES 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the Greater Monticello Enterprise Fund (GMEF) is to encourage economic development by supplementing conventional financing sources available to existing and new businesses.

HISTORY Public Hearing and Adoption the 31st day of August, 1999 Public Hearing and Adoption of Amendments the 8th day of November 2000 Public Hearing and Adoption of Amendments the 24th day of April 2001 Public Hearing and Adoption of Amendments the 13th day of December 2005 Public Hearing and Adoption the 23rd day of March, 2009 Adoption the 22nd day of April, 2013 Adoption the 8th day of February 2017 EDA Agenda: 2/8/17 9. Consideration of dissolving Prospect Team Subcommittee (JT) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: At the regular EDA meeting of December 14, 2016, the Prospect Team Subcommittee was formed and partially appointed. Staff has since learned that due to this subcommittee being duly appointed as a standing subcommittee, it would need to comply with the Open Meeting Law statute regarding meeting postings, being open to the public and keeping a record of minutes. The goal of forming the subcommittee was to be responsive to prospects regarding proposed land pricing and to provide staff with direction regarding prospect proposals. Since the subcommittee falls under the Open Meeting Law statute, the extra steps of compliance with the law negate the goal of relatively quick responses to prospect inquiries. In light of these findings, staff is recommending that the Prospect Team Subcommittee be dissolved. The process to provide responses regarding land prices will need to be considered as it has previously been done; through closed special meetings or during open meetings, depending on the situation. A1. Staff Impact: There is a minimum amount of time involved in preparing the staff report. A2. Budget Impact: No budget impact anticipated. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve dissolving the Prospect Team Subcommittee. 2. Motion of other. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Alternative #1. D. SUPPORTING DATA: N/A EDA Agenda – 02/08/17 10. Consideration of Recommendation for Appointment of EDA Member (JT) A.

Economic Development Report (JT) CEDS (Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy) The first CEDS meeting in Wright County was held on January 26, 2017. The discussion at the meeting focused on existing Human Capital resources in Wright County and identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Formulating goals to address the current and future status and trends of the Human Capital resources was the end point of the meeting. As a reminder, additional meetings will be held on the following topics in coming months: Economic Competitiveness – February 23, 2017 Community Resources - TBD Foundational Assets - TBD As each of the CEDS meetings is scheduled, staff will make sure that EDA members are notified of the date, time and location of the meeting. Housing Study A second draft of the Housing Study is being reviewed with the goal of it becoming a final presentation document to be presented to the EDA for further consideration and action as appropriate. Small Area Study The steering committee for the Small Area Study is nearing full appointment. Three parties have expressed an interest in the At Large Member positions. The EDA will note that this brings the group to 11 persons. Cuningham Group has indicated that three At Large Members is a positive as it brings more community voices to the table. All meetings are posted as open meetings as well. The first steering committee meeting has been set for Thursday, February 9, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. Prospects Staff completed a RFP for a new prospect considering the City of Monticello for a 125,000 square foot facility. A lot in Otter Creek Business Park was proposed as the location for this prospect. Approximately 90 jobs would be created with the project. Staff is awaiting further feedback from the prospect at this time. EDA Agenda: 1/11/17 1 11. Economic Development Report (JT) CEDS and Process The CEDS process is beginning to come together. CEDS stands for Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. It is a process and document wherein economic development goals and objectives in a region are publicly identified and prioritized. A related component is the formation of strategies to achieve the economic development goals. The process usually takes 15 to 18 months to complete. CEDS documents are typically completed for county or multi-county regions. Please see the below notice (in quotations) from Duane Northagen, Director, Wright County Economic Development Partnership (WCEDP). “Hello Everyone, The Wright County Economic Development Partnership (WCEDP) is excited to announce that Wright County has partnered with Central Minnesota Jobs and Training, the Federal EDA and the Initiative Foundation to create a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the 7W district.The partnership also includes Benton, Stearns and Sherburne Counties and will greatly increase our chances of receiving future Federal EDA project dollars. A CEDS is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies and includes four cornerstones under which community conversations will occur. They are: •Human Capital •Economic Competitiveness •Community Resources •Foundational Assets We would like to schedule a community conversation to discuss the first issue, Human Capital on Thursday, January 26th at 9:00 AM at the Monticello Workforce Center (406 East 7th Street). The conversation will be facilitated by Central Minnesota Jobs and Training’s new Economic Development Coordinator’s Jennifer Russell.The findings and goals from our conversation will then be included in our regional plan. As I mentioned earlier, projects that are included as part of the CEDS document have historically had much greater odds of receiving implementation funding through the Federal EDA. I encourage you to invite representatives from your local educational facilities, EDAs, elected officials and any local businesses that may be struggling with workforce development issues.The key to a successful regional plan is widespread community involvement!!! More information on the complete CEDS process can be found at the following link: https://www.eda.gov/pdf/ceds_flyer_wht_backround.pdf Hope to see you all there on January 26th!” Duane Northagen, WCEDP EDA Agenda: 1/11/17 2 Housing Study The first draft of a housing study has been reviewed and continues to be edited for possible changes. A second draft will be sought from the authors at WSB and eventually a final draft will be presented to the EDA for further consideration and action as appropriate. Prospects and Industrial Sites Active prospects number four at this time. Follow up tasks include monitoring their decision processes and providing additional information as requested. To that end, if all of the prospects were to select Monticello Otter Creek Business Park as their preferred site, the EDA would have very little land left to offer any future industrial prospects. Furthermore, there is very little available industrial land remaining in the City outside of Otter Creek Business Park. That low amount of industrial land may be an obstacle to the goal of increasing the number of jobs in the City as well as the growth of the tax base. The four prospects include: 1. Large International Firm 2. Groebner 3. Shred-N-Go 4. Precision Machining Firm Active Projects 1.349 West Broadway – April Studer Purchase and Timeline Update
