for manufacturing or warehousing purposes.
Ms. Koropchek also called the commissioners' attention to excerpts from the contract,
specifically; Item 3.5 Job and Wage Covenants. It reads that at least 5 new jobs would
be created with an hourly wage of at least $14.10 exclusive of benefits.
A concern was voiced as to whether a wage of $14.10 per hr. could afford housing in
Monticello. Dan Frie stated that it is possible to find housing in the City at that wage.

Walnut Street.
Ollie Koropchak stated that the HRA must hold a public hearing before it can lease out
the property at 3 Walnut Street. She recommended that the HRA hold a special
meeting prior to the regularly scheduled, October 14, HRA meeting. This would also
enable the HRA to accept bids for demolition of the structure at 225 West River Street.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY DARRIN LAHR AND SECONDED BY BOB MURRAY

PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3 WALNUT STREET ON SEPTEMBER 23,1998, AT

Consideration to accept a counter-offer for the property located at 225 Front Street (Rich
and Marian Carlson).
Ollie Koropchek discussed the counter-offer of Rick & Maria Carlson of July 24 which
had a withdrawal date of August 10, 1998. Ms. Koropchek stated that she had not heard
from the seller or the seller's attorney as of September 2, 1998. After reviewing the cash
flow balance of the HRA and because the HRA has no special or immediate plans for this
particular parcel and determining the counter-offer price unacceptable for property with a
limited amount of buildable land. A MOTION WAS MADE BY DARRIN LAHR AND
SECONDED BY BRAD BARGER NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE PURCHASE OF
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 225 FRONT STREET. Motion carried unanimously.
Ollie Koropchek will send Mr. & Mrs. Carlson a letter stating the HRA's decision.
11. Consideration to review the appraisal for the property located at 218 Front Street and
authorization to proceed (O'Connor).
Ms. Koropchek stated that the above item was a hold over from the August 5, 1998,
meeting and reminded the HRA that the appraisal was confidential.
Dan Frie stated that he had reviewed the appraisal and felt okay with it. He had felt that
in the past some of the comparisons that were submitted were not of similar size homes.
However, this one appeared to be comparable to others submitted. Mr. Frie also stated
that there was only one other property in Monticello of equal value and he felt that if this
one was put on the market that it would sell. Discussion was held on whether or not it
could be purchased with a option.

strategies and for HRA co-sponsorship.

implementation of the proposal for development of a community identity and marketing
strategy until reviewing the HRA financial statements. The MCP requested HRA
participation in the amount of$9,250 (60%) ofthe $15,870 total project costs.
Rita Ulrich, MCP, handed out a revised budget requesting $1500 from the HRA. She
stated that the MCP has gone before the City Council and requested their participation in
the amount of$9,250. Also, the Chamber of Commerce is interested but is not sure if
they will be able to contribute at this time.
Ms. Ulrich also stated that it would be helpful to have a letter of support for the grant
application. When asked about the timing of this project, Rita stated that it will probably

Public hearine: and consideration for lease of proper tv located at 3 Walnut Street.
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the HRA meeting of September 2, 1998, the commissioners called for a public hearing
date of September 23, 1998,5:30 p.m. The public hearing notice appeared in the local
newspaper on September 10 and 17 thereby meeting statutory requirements.
The HRA Chair should open and close the public hearing for record. Assuming no one
response to the public hearing notice, the HRA will continue proceeding to lease. The
two previous interested parties: Truda Boler and Barbara Schliefhave been contacted for
an update and both parties remain interested in leasing. An appointment to show the
property to Truda will follow installation of the new furnace and cleaning of carpets.
References will be checked on both parties. Truda was the first applicant. If either party
elects not to lease, an ad will be placed. The lease agreement is a monthly lease, $550 per
month, $500 damage deposit, and tenant responsible for utilities.
As you know, the Minnegasco service representative detected a large crack in the face
plate of the furnace and unsafe levels of carbon monoxide (3,000 ppm) thereby
recommending a new furnace. Griefnow Heating and Plumbing and B&D Plumbing and
Heating are submitting estimates for a new furnace and installation for your
consideration. Estimates will be submitted at the meeting.
If the HRA would like to demolish the house and garage, the HRA must first payoff the
contract for deed balance of $63,000 plus interest. Consultant Ruff projected $60,000-
$80,000 ofTIF pooling dollars for the next five years and Wolfsteller reported a near zero
balance after reduction of previous HRA commitments.
After closing the public hearing, please consider the following.
B.
AL TERNA TIVE ACTIONS:
1.
A motion to proceed with lease of the property at 3 Walnut Street and authorizing
purchase and installation of a furnace from
2.
A motion to request buyout and demolition of the property at 3 Walnut Street.
