Steve Bubul, Holmes & Graven. 1. CALL TO ORDER, Chairperson Larson called the HRA meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. 2. CONS;DERATION TO REVI11W! A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT FOR HRA LOT 5. BLOCK 3. OIP. The outstanding loan balance for Lots 5 and 6 within TIF District No. 4 (IKI) is approximately 890,000 and since the life duration of the district has expired, there is no revenue. The interest rate on the HRA loan which was borrowed from the City is 8%. The HRA owns Lot 5 (6.6 acres) and Ron & Dee Johnson own Lot 6 (5.2 acres). Developers Dean Hoglund and Kcn Schwartz are looking for Industrial property to construct a 15,000 sq ft building for an undioclosed tenant. The tenant is an existing production company. The company currently employs 28 full-time individuals and anticipates to hire an additional 10-12 within two years. In order to caehflow the project TIF is proposed to be utilized to reduce the lease rates. Rates of 82.80 square foot (triple net) for year one and 83.50 in years two through five are needed. The company's profitability has turned around since its purchase from tho previouo owner. The production company plane to purchase the building in five years. After discussion of the lot's worth, Tom St. Hilaire made a motion to accopt a purchase price of 860,000 for Lot 5, Block 3, DIP. The offer expires in 90 days and does not include the use of TIF. Brad Barger seconded the motion and with no further diecueolon, the motion passed 4-0. Page 1 HRA MINUTES APRIL 5, 1995 INTERVIEW OF PUBLICORP, INC. WITH MARK RUFF AND SIDNEY INMAN. Mark Ruff introduced Sid Inman. Mark has been with Publicorp for seven years and Sid for eleven years. Both, had previously worked in the public sector. Publicorp's focus is Education, Housing, Economic and Redevelopment, TIF, contract followup, and credit analysis. With the recent merger of Ehlers and Associates, Inc. comes an additional focus and 60 years of experience in selling of bonds. Publicorp works as a two-man team so a backup person is always available and familiar with projects. Monthly billings are itemized on an hourly rate ($105 per hour), no addition for clerical, no mileage for Monticello, and generally do not have contracts. A small TIP project would be approximately $2,000, fees are negotiable or can be fixed. Turn around phone time is within two hours. The "but for" is handled through a response of the risk options: bank, more sources, or what sources. Publicorp does fiscal impacts for land use/public improvements/ capital improvements, etc. Kent Johnson informed HRA members that joint city/school district/community projects with AA rating decrease interest rates. If an HRA owns a community building and sells bonds or if pooled TIP dollars are used as equity into a community project, financing terms are lowered. Chairperson Larson thanked Mark, Sid, and Kent for their attendance. Commissioners response: Tom, Ehlers' first-class outfit; Brad, very professional: Rick, use on trial basis; Ben, very impreoslve/wide range of oerviceo; Jeff, wide range of services/good responses; and Al, excellent presentation. The HRA made no decision and requested Koropchak call communities of equal size for a reference chock. Mr. St. Kilaire felt the HRA had received Ito monies worth from PRO up until o year or year and one-half ago. Mr. O'Neill informed HRA members that the Minnesota Sports Federation will begin a location study the end of April for a two -million dollar arena project. The project may be more viable as a joint project between the school, community, and the federation. Monticello is one of the oiteo within the study. Pago 2 HRA MINUTES APRIL 5, 1995 A clarification or definition of the role between Ehlers and Publicorp is needed, as the City utilizes Springsted as bond consultants. The City is satisfied with Springsted and Springsted has the historical data of the City of Monticello. d. CONSIDERATION TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RESIGNATIONS OF HRA MEMBERS FROM THE MONTICELLO SENIOR HOUSING ALLIANCE, INC. Tom St. Hilaire made a motion acknowledging the letter of resignations to the Monticello Senior Housing Alliance, Inc. from HRA Commissioners Al Larson and Brad Barger. Ben Smith seconded the motion. Mr. Larson and Mr. Barger therefore are relieved of any potential conflict of interests. 5. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT CONTRACT BETWEEN THE HRA, THE CITY, AND THE MONTICELLO SENIOR HOUSING ALLIANCE, INC. With the resignation of the two HRA commissioners from the Alliance, the four HRA commissioners discussed the Alliance project. Attorney Bubul informed the commissioners the project has slowed down due to the forecasting of accounts. Preliminary financial numbers indicate the project financing Is light. Other options are Presbyterian Homes owns the project; Increase TSF or the HRA owns the project so the City can issue General Obligation Bonds; no response from the Alliance as they lack members and staff; anc! the drafting of the contracts/agreemento Is Incomplete. The Private Redevelopment Contract is incomplete because the HRA motion of February 22 was unclear. Was the $325,830 which included $20,000 Contingency and $20,000 Administration intended for the senior project or for the City's potential loss of RAGA in the event the project does not qualify as a "Qualified Housing District"? The difficulty io the $325,830 for the project keeps the rents down to qualify as a "Qualified Housing District. If the $40,000, the aooumed 10% administration is taken off the top to cover the City's lose of an unqualified "Qualified Housing District", the project financing Is on the edge. Rent limits is the issue, not income levels. For a "Qualified Housing District", it io projected that a percentage of the one -bedroom units must rent for $575 per month in 1995. As incomes increase, so do ronto. The HRA could emend the TIF budget increasing the total by $42,000 to $387,830 thereattor would the Private Redevelopment Contract be adjusted. Or Presbyterian Homeo could own the Page 3 S HRA MINUTES APRIL 5, 1995 project, not the Alliance. Presbyterian Homes would then appoint the Alliance members. A forecast of revenues are needed to enhance the project. A projected annual 10% administration of $4,200 or $42,000 NPV over 15 years, would cover the projected HACA Loss of $33,500 NPV over 15 years. Tom St. Hilaire reiterated his objection was strictly the use of TIF for land acquisition and not the project in itself. HRA members agreed to amend the TIF Budget for an increase of $42,000 for Administration costo. It was hoped the Hospital District would consider a project cost reduction of $25,000. 6. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE EXTENDED LOW-INCOME HOUSING COMMITMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HRA AND THE SENIOR HOUSING ALLIANCE, INC. Attorney Bubul explained a "Qualified Housing District" has the same requirements as those used for Federal tax credits; however, this project does not receive tax credits. Rents and Incomes must be reported and recorded annually as outlined in the Commitment Agreement; otherwise, the project is in violation of the law. This agreement Is a commitment to ouch. 7. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT AMONG THE HRA. CITY, AND TRUSTEE. Attorney Bubul explained undor this agreement the HRA subordinoteo their rights under the Redevelopment Contract as an inducement to the bank to enter into the indenture. The underwriter has a problem with the conditional use permit. The permit was approved based of the use for a multi-eenior housing project which has limited parking needs unlike a multi -family project. In a worst case, the trustee Is loft with an empty building with limited parking. The HRA did not share the same views as the Planning Commission and City Council, and felt adjoining or shared parking woo available with the Monticello Clinic. Socondly, the underwriter has problems with the potential odors from the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The TIF Diotrict No. 1-19 needs to be certified, the budgot amandcd. tho contract and agreements signed prior to Page 4 HRA MINUTES APRIL 5, 1995 Legislation changes which would not prohibit the project; however, would add additional provisions. Tom St. Hilaire made a motion approving modification of the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1-19 to increase the budget by $42,000 for a total of $367,830 and authorizing the HRA Chair and Executive Director to execute the Private Redevelopment Contract, the Extended Low -Income Housing Commitment Agreement, and the Subordination Agreement subject to no major changes or surprises. Brad Barger seconded the motion and with no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously. The modification of the Plan for TIF District No. 1-19 could be done simultaneously with and if approved, the modification of the Plans for TIF District Nos. 1-1 through 1-11. 8. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE JANUARY 26 AND FEBRUARY 6 AND 22, 1995, HRA MINUTES AND THE MARCH 16, 1996, NRA SUMMARY. Ben Smith made a motion to approve the January 26 and February 6 and 22, 1995 HRA minutes and the March 16, 1995 HRA summary. Tom St. Hilaire seconded the motion and with no corrections or additions, the minutes and summary were approved as written. 9. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW A PRELIMINARY PLAN TO MODIFY THE BUDGETS OF TIF DISTRICT NOS. 1-1 TRHOUGH 1-11. Attorney Bubul reported two hearings have been held in sub- committee with regards to the proposed restriction of pooling dollars for pre -May 1990 TIF Districto. One bill allowo for a July 1, 1998 data to approve a plan for use of the pooled dollars. The plan must identify project costo by line items. Hopefully, the restriction will be eliminated; howover, to be safe one neodo to have a plan in place. Koropchak indicated that to meet the proposed July 1 date, the City Council would need to approve the modification of the plane no lotor than Juno 26, 1995. The procoss is the same as used for the establishment of a now TIF District. O'Neill felt it was Important for the Planning Commission to be a part of the discussion to identify projoct costo with the update of the Comprehensive Plan and its relationship to land use and public improvements. Pooling dollars can be used for transportation, utilities, community centers, etc. Pago 6 HRA MINUTES APRIL 5, 1995 Administrator Wolfsteller projected the surplus pooling dollars in an amount of $2.3 million, maximizing the life duration of TIF District Nos. 1-1 through 1-11. NRA members discusaed the use of pooling dollars for cocential public improvements and non -controversial issues such Fallon Avenue Bridge, Fallon Avenue, Waste Water Treatment Expansion, etc. O'Neill presented a concept used by aggressive communities who used pooling dollars as a means of equity to encourage the approval of referendums for projects of multi -use and non - duplication: Community centers, senior centers, etc. O'Neill viewed this as an HRA investment to create new wealth for a community. G., a X 4;- p}� ' S -%s -9 S Chairperson Larson felt therpooling dollars should return to the taxing jurisdictions who approved the original TIF Districts. The truth is no taxing jurisdiction lost taxing dollars as the increased tax dollars would not have occurred without the use of TIF. If the HRA developed a plan modifying the pre -1990 budgets for public improvements, the plan could serve as an indirect way for the City to recover its HACA Loss due to the establishment of now TIF Districts. School districts and HRAs are not penalized; only, Cities. HRA members agreed to use TIP pooling dollars for essential public improvements which require no referendum; thorebye, reducing the amount of the tax increase. HRA members did not endorse TIF pooling dollars for non-oesential uses such as equity to encourage the approval of referendum; whereaftor, taxes aro ot1ll increased for essential public improvements. HRA members were not necessarily opposed to the development of community centers or multi-pi•rposo community projects, they felt controversial issues should be by referendum thorebye allowing the citizens a choice. Tom St. Hilaire made a motion directing HRA and City staff to develop a list of essential sorvicoo/public improvements by lino !tomo for review and approval by the HRA at the May 3 mooting. Thereafter, would PRO be authorized to modify the plans for TIF District No. 1-1 through 1-11. Al Larson seconded the motion and with no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously. Page 6 eIR HRA MINUTES APRIL 5, 1995 10. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE GRANTING A 20 FOOT EASEMENT ON HRA LOT 5, BLOCK 3, OIP, TO THE CITY OF MONTICELLO. In order for the City to extend the water and sanitary sewer lines from Dundas Road to the Klein Farm property, the City is requesting an additional 20 feet to the existing 50 -foot drainage utility easement on the westerly boundary of Lot 5, Block 3, OIP, owned by the HRA. The 50 -foot easement is for drainage of the Swale and the 20 foot easement would be for the installation and the maintanence of the new lines; therebye, eliminating any conflict with potential ponding or proximity to the City well. One may not construct a building upon the easement; however, it can be used for parking or driveways. The combined 20 -foot and 50 -foot easements constitute a little over one -acre of the 8.4 -acre lot of which the HRA has an outstanding loan balance at 8% interest rate with the City. Al Larson made a motion to approve granting a 20 -foot easement to the City in addition to the existing 50 -foot drainage utility easement on the westerly boundary of Lot 5, Block 3, OIP. Brad Barger seconded the motion and with no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously. 11. CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT THE RESIGNATION OF HRA MEMBER BEN SMITH AND TO AUTHORIZE ADVERTISING THE VACATED HRA COMMISSION SEAT. Al Larson male a motion to accept the letter of resignation from Bon Smith as an HRA Commissioner and authorized advertising in the Monticq�lo Times for a replacement of the vacated commission seat. Brad Barger seconded the motion and with no further diacuosion, the motion passed unanimously. Chairperson Larson thanked Mr. Smith for his years of service on the HRA. It is anticipated that tho HRA and, perhaps, the City Council will intorview HRA candidates at the May 3 meeting. 12. QONSIDERATIQN TO APPQINT TW.P INDIVIpUALS AS REPjtESENTATIVES OF THE HRA TO THE MONTICELLO SENIOR HOUSING ALLIANCE, INC. As Steve Johnson and Bon Smith previously had agreed to ropr000nt tho HRA on the Monticollo Senior Housing Alliance, Inc., Al Larson made a motion appointing Stove Johnson and Ban Smith as HRA ropr000ntativos to the Monticollo Senior Housing Allianco, Inc. Brad Barger seconded the motion and with no furthor dlecuooion, tho motion passed unanimously. Pago 7 HRA MINUTES APRIL b, 1998 13.

The first area, owned by Tony Emmerich, is located east of Highway 25, south of the Lundsten Property, west of County Road 117 (Oakwood Drive), and north of the Kjellberg East Mobile Court.

All parcels are located within the City limits. o See enclosed map outlining proposed enlargement. MODIFICATION OF TIP PLANS FOR TIF DISTRICT MOS. 1-1 TBROOM I- 11 This item refers to the proposed Legislation Bill relating to pro -1990 TIF pooling dollars. As estimated by Administrator Wolfoteller, the Monticello HRA pro -1990 dollars over the life of the districts totals approximately 3 million dollars. The majority of the 3 million Is generated from throe Rodevolopmont Districts. Initially, the bill stated a plan must be in place (adopted) by City Council prior to July 1, 1998 or pooling dollars would be non-expondable by the HRA. Currently, the bill before the Conference Committee otatoo the date for plan adoption is extended to December 31, 1995: however, the bill further limits pooling dollars from pro -1988 Redevelopment Diotricto for uoc of redevelopment, housing, or solla activities only. In other words, the majority of Monticello NRA dollars could not be used for any public improvemonto. It lo at the suggestion of Attorney Stove Bubul, that discussions continuo to define a budget for approval by City Council nn Jure Yb, 1995. This to safeguard a pooslblo Page I NRA AGENDA MAY 15, 1905 compromise in the Conference Committee. Our schedule to modify the plans (budgets) for District Nos. 1--1 through 1-11 would be as follows: May 25 - 30 -day notice to taxing jurisdictions - A letter in the hands of the taxing jurisdictions explaining the fiscal impact of the proposed modification and how the pooling dollars can be spend, explaining no district boundary expansions and tax increment increases are expected, and notifying of the public hearing scheduled June 26, 1995, City Council Chambers.

Reference and Background: Please read the enclosed letter of request from Mr. Bret Weiss, City Engineer. The request is to approve a right -of - entry to enter Lot 5, Block 3, OIP, which is owned by the HRA. Grading is necessary for development of a swale along the common property line of the southerly boundary of the HRA lot and the northerly boundary of the Klein Farm property. As you will recall, last month the HRA approved an additional 20 -foot drainage utility easement to the existing 50 -foot swale easement along the westerly boundary of Lot 5. It appears the swale will be located along the common property line. The site will be restored by seeding and at no cost to the HRA; however, the fence is not proposed to be reinstalled. B. Alternative Action: 1. A motion granting a right -of -entry request from OSM to enter Lot 5, Block 3, OIP. 2. A motion denying the right -of -entry request from OSM to enter Lot 5, Block 3, OIP. 3. A motion to table any action. C. Recommendation: It is my understanding, OSM was not granted a right -of -entry from Ron and Dee Johnoon regarding Lot 6. Prior to a recommendation of Alternative A1, two questions might be anowercd: One, will the owale share the common property line of Lot 5 only and will the setback on the HRA southerly boundary increase beyond the 1-2 requirement of 50 feet.

Consideration to approve a resolution authorizing) PRG to prepare the modification of Redevelopment Proiect No. 11 Modificiation of the TIF Plans for TIF District Nos. 1-1 through 1-19, and the establishment of TIF District No. 1-20 and the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1-20. A. Reference and Background: This proposed project remains in the preliminary stages; therefore, it is premature for the HRA to adopt a resolution authorizing PRG to establish a TIF District. The tenant, new builder/developer, PRG and Koropchak were scheduled to meet Thursday, May 11, to determine the builder/developer's interest in the project. Following that meeting, a meeting with First Bank had been scheduled to discuss bank interest in the project. The meeting was canceled due to an emergency of the builder/developer and has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 16, at 10:00 a.m. As you recall at the last HRA meeting, the HRA made a motion of an asking price of $60,000 for Lot 5, Block 3, OIP with no TIF assistance . TIF is necessary for the project to work. Developers Schultz and Hoglund withdrew from the project. It Is assumed the new builder/developer will look at lots owned by the City and Pfeffer. In order to cash flow the project and to maintain a rate of return to attract a builder/developer, the use of TIF is necessary. Upon the preliminary analysis, the TIF assistance requirod is 650,000 of upfront dollars. The EDA would also need to approve a loan for $50,000. Again, the pro joct would be the construction of a 13,500 to 15,000 sq ft metal office/manufacturing facility. The tenant, an existing Monticello husineoo, would like a five-year lease with an option to purchase. The company currently employs 28 full-time and plans to hiro an additional 10-12 with the proposed expanolon. The most current P&L otatmento indicate the company profits aro ahead of projectlono. In a true sense of the word, this project meats the TIB "but for" tent and the GMEF "gap financing" criteria: Without the finanical asoiotance of TIF and the CMEF this project will not procnod. Page 1 HRA AGENDA MAY 15, 1995 With the assumption the estimated increment is sufficient to cover the HRA debt, will the HRA consider the use of upfront TIP assistance in an amount not -to -exceed $50,000 as a pass- through to reduce the rental rate? We need to give a timely response to the tenant, so a decision can be made by the tenant to relocate in 1995 to Becker or Monticello or to rent for an additional year. The tenant has one-year of high worker's compensation premiums due for a portion of the company which was sold. In order to cash flow the project, rental rates of $2.80 per sq ft for year one and $3.50 per eq ft for years two through five are necessary. Pago 2 11. Consideration to review comments of a reference check on Publicorp, Inc. for further direction. Following the interview of Publicorp, Inc., Mark Ruff and Sid Inman, the HRA requested a reference check be completed. Listed are comments heard on the reference check: City of Circle Pines, Jim Keinath, City Administrator - Worked with Mark and Sid. Highly respected, timely and cost effective, most recently completed credit analysis for TIF Senior Project and Redevelopment Bonds. City of Duluth, Larry Janssen, City Treasurer - Past three years. Assisted with refunding bonds, TIF projects, and anticipated notes. Experienced some minor detailed paper work problems which were quickly resolved. Hastings HRA, John Grossman, Executive Director - Gone, Mark, and Chris. On and off over 10 years. TIP Plans designed for Hastings, financial cash flow analysis. City of Windom, Jim King, Economic Finance Director - Mark and Sid. Two to three projects in five years. TIP Economic and Redevelopment. On top of things. City of Fridley, Howard Koolick, Assistant Finance Director - e Do a very fine job. Does not utilize Publicorp for TIP projects as difficult to break long-time ties with current TIF consultant. Publicorp completed a time -efficiency study on City employees. It was difficult to obtain adequate Information from employees. t 4 Credit Analysis Proposed Financial Package/Marketing TIF District Plan Grant/Loan Applications Bond Issuance Knowledge/Details Follow-through HRA PRIORITIES PRO, Inc.

NRA Members Al Larson, Tom St. Hilaire, Ben Smith, Bradley Barger, and Everette Ellison requested a letter be addressed to you describing the industrial development objectives of the City of Monticello. First, congratulations to you and the KOMO Machine, Inc. employees for the successful operation and management of your business. Secondly, one of the City of Monticello's industrial development objectives is to recruit successful and growth potential manufacturing businesses.

The City's industrial growth began about five to ten years ago. In February, the community became a part of the metro telephone exchange. Some 1,200 housing starts are projected through year 2000. This planned housing stock will aselet to accommodate the housing demands associated with the increased employment of new and expanding buoinessee and will indirectly enhance the City's ability to provide for an adequate labor pool. Aloo, the City is fortunate to have ample land available for Industrial development. The City establiohed a revolving loan fund and utilizes Tax Increment Financing, when applicable, to aesist industrial development. Additionally, the City has been successful in Mr. Nauheimer April 27, 1998 Page 2 obtaining dollars from Federal, State, and Regional funding sources to assist industrial projects. The Monticello Industrial Prospect Team would be most pleased to host KOMO Machine, Inc. officials, to provide a tour of the industrial park and sites, and to further discuss the expansion needs of KOKO Machine. I will contact you within a few days or please do not hesitate to call me at (612) 295-2711 if you have immediate questions. I look forward to meeting you.
