CALL TO ORDER. Chairperson Ken Maus called the HRA meeting to order at 7:07 AM. 2. APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 8, 1988 HRA MINUTES. Lovell Schrupp made a motion to approve the June 8, 1988 HRA minutes. Al Larson seconded the motion, with no further comment, the minutes were approved by a 5-0 vote. 3. FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE SEVEN TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICTS. Administrator Wolfsteller presented the HRA members with a current financial recap of the seven Tax Increment Districts (enclosed with minutes). Rick summarised the information by stating the first three districts listed were financed internally (no bond sales) and the remaining four districts were financed through bond sales. Currently, Tax Increment District 03 (Fulfillment Systems, Inc.) is the only district which has an investment reserve surplus balance (;49,000). When a bond has been issued, the HRA is required to have three bond payments In reserve, thereafter a surplus is constituted for the use of other projects. Projections indicate that TID 06 (Raindance Properties) will generate a surplus balance of $25.000 to $30,000 next year. TID 01 (IXI) now looks good as the taxes are current, however. TID 04 (IXI) which includes Lot 6 owned by Ron and Dee Johnson and Lot 5 owned by the HRA will constitute a lose. The other districts will begin to generate increment in 1989. City Staff advised the HRA of their thoughts and plane to sock the assistance of a consulting firm which could give direction to the city of it's full potential use of Tax Increment Financing. Soma potential City questions are 1) Can we combine or modify the the seven districts into one district, 2) How do we accomplish this, 3) What constitutes a surplus, 3) What can surplus monies be earmarked for, 5) What are the changes in the TIF laws, and 6) others. Presently. City staff has met with a firm from North Mankato and received a cost proposal. The HRA members discussed their philosophy for the use of TIP surplus. Al Larson felt reserve surplus should retire the debts (debt/ service payments). Ken Maus felt reserve surplus should be applied toward elimination of blighted areas or the development of now or expanding industrial businesses (job creation and increase of tax base) but not for street improvements that L1 HRA Minutes — 8/10/88 3. CONTINUED. would constitute questions by the school district, the county, or the hospital district. The estimated cost for a consultant is $1,500 to $10,000 which can be absorted in the TIF Plan, project cost. Chairperson Maus advised the HRA members with the assumption the seven districts were modified and surplus monies did exist that the HRA annually review the surplus amount and earmark a project accordingly. A motion made by Lowell Schrupp directed the City Staff to establish a list of TIF objectives/needs, thereafter, prepare questions and a request for proposal. This to be mailed to two addit- ional consulting firms. The motion was seconded by Al Larson, and without further discussion passed unanimously. 4. UPDATE OF CITY COUNCIL ACTION ON THE RESIDENTIAL SURVEY PERMIT FEES AND THE CLIFFORD OLSON PROPERTY. The HRA accepted the written agenda supplements on the two subj acts. Jeff O'Neill further informed the HRA that Gary Anderson will obtain a warrant from the judge granting legal permission to enter the Olson Property. The City has beard no response from Mr. Clifford Olson. Chairperson Maus asked City Staff to communicate to Mr. Olson the HRA's interest in the property. Mr. Anderson will video tape the inside of the property. S. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW THE RECOMMENDED BUILDING ORDINANCE REOU IREMENTS. Jeff O'Neill highlighted the industrial/commercial structure restrictions noting the 202 construction cost increase to a developer /builder by restricting no more than one-third of the wall surface facing a public street or interstate freeway or adjacent to a residential or public area, consist of panels of steel, fiberglass, and aluminum. The Planning Commission having reviewed the first draft of the proposed restrictions (same as the onclosed draft) did suggest the elimination of Item 4.c. and made no further comment until the 11RA and IDC reviewed the restrictions and provided the Commission with inpu t. Chairperson Maus asked how the IDC viewed the restrictions? Mr. O'Neill responded that the IDC had no major difficulties with the proposed restrictions; however, Koropchak perception of the IDC response to the restrictions were not the some as Kr. O'Neill, as IDC Vice President Don Smith asked the committee members to take the proposed restrictions with them for review and discussion at the August 18th meeting. Chairperson Maus stated that city ordinances wore outside the powers of the NRA; however, he added that from a practical point of viow.ho had constructed two metal buildings'^61thoUt-any problems. He suggested the deletion of item 4.c., thorobye would allow for the construction of pole buildings. Also. Maus noted that the restrictions of all metal buildings may bo too tight and wording may be HRA Minutes - 8/10/88 5. CONTINUED. added to include that an entire metal building be esthetically pleasing. Al Larson felt the proposed restrictions should consider the best end results. Also, the HRA mentioned that steel beams can melt faster than wood beams in a fire. 6. CONSIDERATION TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED CITY'S HRA BUDGET. The HRA asked what taxable levy amount would a one mill levy produce? three/quarter of a mill levy? one/half of a mill levy? Administrator Wolfsteller estimated approximately $115,000, $80,000, and $55,000, respectively. The HRA further discussed the need to request a mill levy if the modified seven tax increment district created a sufficient surplus for projects and working capital. Since this is a preliminary budget wish list the HRA can reconsider the request if a surplus would exist. Ben Smith made a motion requesting the City to exercise the HRA'e levy power and levy one-half mill or an approximate taxable levy amount of $55,000 in Year 1989 for working capital. The motion was seconded by Everette Ellison, and with no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously. 7. CONSIDERATION OF CONCEPT FOR CONSTRUCTION FIVE PROPOSED OFFICE/ WAREHOUSE AND MINI STORAGE. The HRA accepted the preliminary concept of Construction Five's proposal as an informational item only. 8. CONSIDERATION OF INFORMATION TO MODIFY THE CURRENT TAR INCREMENT DISTRICTS INTO ONE FINANCE PLAN. This item was addressed and acted upon by the HRA under item throe of these minutes. 9. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW MONTI TRUCK REPAIR'S USE OF HRA PROPERTY AS A USED CAR LOT. Koropchak informed the HRA on the status of FmHA funding and further expressed that she didn't forsee funding approval by the end of September. She had advised the HRA in the agenda of their options to Mr. O'Connor's violation of the City Ordinance by using the HRA property as a used car lot. The HR.1 discussed the time element to 1) obtain a lease agreement between the NRA and O'Connor, 2) application of a conditional use permit, and 3) two weak notification for �y N\ HRA Minutes - 8/10/88 9. CONTINUED. a public hearing in comparison of the expiration date of the option agreement, September 30th. Al Larson expressed that the HRA should exercise the option on the O'Connor property; therebye, eliminating any conflict. Chairperson Maus expressed the HRA's position that the option agreements were real business deals with the intention to exercise the options when funding was approved. However, with funding approval time unknown, time causes holding costs for the three property owners. Suggestion was for the City Staff and HRA to consider alternative ways to fund the purchase of the all the properties before September 30th, therefore, allowing tax exempt status by the October 15 deadline. City staff expressed their concerns that in the past Dr. McCarty, Teelow, and the previous Dino's sites were denied the use of used car lots. The HRA recognized Mr. O'Connor's advantage of the property and agreed that doing nothing was no solution. Lovell Schrupp made a motion directing City Staff to execute a letter to Joe O'Connor stating he's in violation of the City Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Ben Smith, and passed unanimously. 10. OTHER BUSINESS. 1� Al Larson suggested the HRA meeting be held in the evening. This to be an agenda item next month. The HRA inquired on the progress to locate an interested developer for construction of high quality elderly housing close to downtown. The HRA considered use of the construction bulletin or an ad in the real estate journal. Koropchak will check on this. 11. ADJOURNMENT.

CONSIDERATION TO EXECUTETHREE OPTION AGREEMENTS. SEPTEMBER 30. 1988. (O.K.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROMI$, The HRA's goal for the past few years has been to eliminate a blighted area in downtown Monticello, portions of Block 51. Currently, the BRA has option agreements to purchase the properties of O'Connor, Stelton, and Jones', expiration date of the agreements being September 30, 1988. As the current property owners are becoming anxious for a purchase decision because of the unknown and increase of holding coat. The HRA has three options for consideration: 1) Attempt to negotiate a three month extension on the option agreements, 2) Execute the option agreements to purchase the properties, 3) Drop the project. As of early this week, the current statue on the FmHA funding according to Brad Larson is that Metcalf 6 Larson have received a preliminary verbal approval to execute the 622 Program which gives direction for a developer to prepare the final application for FmHA funding. Mr. Larson is expecting a written confirmation from FmHA on this, within the week. The Planning Commission's September 6th Agenda includes consideration to review the final site plane for the Metcalf/Larson Elderly Project. Mr. Larson further informed me that at the State FmHA office, one director retired, thereafter, the remaining directors ranked the funding applications for approval in October. Due to the many applications only 100 applications were ranked, on a scale of 0 to 100, 100 being the highest priority, Metcalf 6 Larson's application is ranked 72. Funding is approved and allocated on a first come, first served basis of the final application submittal by the developer. Based on the HRA's three options for consideration listed in paragraph one above, options 1 and 3 need no additional information for execution. To execute option 2) execution of the option agreements to purchase the three properties, the following information is presented for consideration prior to a decision by the HRA. The procedure for the HRA to execute the option agreements without formal FmHA funding approval and the closing data unknown is outlined in the following paragraphs. guru., the HHA would need to borrow money from the city with the assumption of no proposed elderly project. According to Bob Deiko of Holmes 6 Graven, Tax Increment District 02 Finance Plan would require Modification 03 because the HRA would be acquiring additional property within the district. Within Modification Plan 03 would be the description of the proposed elderly project stating the approximate time of bond sale. If the elderly project is a ap go, there would be no need for a Modification Plan 06. Modification Plan 03 needs to satisfy HRA Agenda - 9/7/88 3. CONTINUED. the HRA's ability to repay the debt service incurred by the City Loan plus all existing district expenses (Metcalf 6 Larson Securities debt service and the Monticello Ford contract for deed debt service). Supporting Data Sheet A is the projected 1989 tax increment with the assumption of acquisition of the O'Connor, Stelton, and Jones' properties by the HRA prior or by September 30, 1988, and no purchase of property by Metcalf b Larson; therebye, meeting the October 15, 1988 deadline for tax exempt status. This projected annual tax increment is $23,070.82. Supporting Data Sheet B indicates District 02 total projected costa to acquire the properties. In the right-hand column labeled City Loan are the cost included for a $245,000 loan from the City to the HRA. The loan is at 8% over 20 years, assumption of no elderly project and the ability to pay debt service. NOTE: as indicated at the bottom of Sheet B the projected annual tax increment is aU sufficient to cover the amortized annual loan debt service of $24,955.70 plus the Securities annual debt service of $4,285.00 (through year 1997); therefore. the HRA would need to request the City to levy a taxable levy amount of at least $6,169.18 for 20 years. The HRA couldn't execute their levy power because the HRA's levy is based on a one year levy which wouldn't satisfy the ability to pay the total L incurred debt service. The proposed loan is sufficient to retire the Monticello Ford contract of deed at 102 interest, however, upon Rick Wolfsteller's opinion, he doesn't recommend the retirement of the Securities Loan at 92. ACTION: The HRA's decision to request from the City a Loan in the amount of $245,000 at 8% interest over 20 years and to request the City to levy a taxable levy amount of at least $6,169.18 for 20 years or until such time as when tax increment is sufficient to retire D/S. Sacand, the HRA needs to consider the sale of the properties (estimated in spring/summon of 1989) to Metcalf 6 Larson and the selling price options Snordor to retire the debt service Incurred by the bond solo. Supporting Data Sheet C is the projected 1992 tax increment with the assumpiton of a 1989 construction and full completed assessment on the tax book January 2, 1991, payable 1992. This projected tax increment is $36,085.10 based on a 1988 mill rate. Supporting Data Shoat D. Plan A, indicates the bond sale project cost if the HRA rocups all of it's incurred expenses. Supporting Data Shoot D. Plan B. indicates the bond sale project cost if the HRA rocups all of it's incurred expenses, except the HRA incurred paid expenses. 0 9 HRA Agenda - 9/1/88 3. CONTINUED. The projected tax increment of $36,055.10 is sufficient to allow a Bond Issuance of $260,000 at 9.255 interest over 18 years. Amortized annual debt service is $30,193.80 plus Securities debt service of $4,285.00. Bond sale D/S retirement is projected for year 2010, life duration of the district and Securities D/S retirement is projected for year 1997. NOTE: the remaining balance of Plan A. $84,000 and remaining balance of Plan B, $48.000. Supporting Data Sheet E gives options to negotiate selling price to Hetcalf 6 Larson and options for possible additional HRA funds to make this a do -able project. ACTION: The HRA'o decision to proceed with the project, execute plan A or B, and recommendation for negotiations of final funding. THEREAFTER, the HRA will consider Modification Plan 03 for Tax Increment Finance District 02. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTION. 1. Attempt to negotiate a three month extension on the three 0 option agreements. 2. Execute the option agreements to purchase the properties. 3. Drop the project. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION. No staff recommendation at this timet however, will report to the HRA on the Planning Commission's opinion and recommendation of the final site review. D. SUPPORTING DATA. Sheets A. B.
