list to the Executive Director. Generally, th store manager, not the foundation, has the
discretion to respond to local fundraisers. ub's decision to locate in Monticello results
because no store exists between S1. Cloud d Maple Grove, shoppers are going outside
the area for groceries, community benefits, d request from individuals within the
community. Also, through a market analysi the community appears staple and growing
with easy accessibility to 1-94. Cub services will include a deli, pharmacy, and bank:;
however, the structure will have no video 0 card areas. She ended stating "Cub works
with communities relating to design".
Barry reported tenant relocation is in proces and some progress is being made. Barry
reviewed a tenant list stating most would re cate downtown, perhaps Hallmark and
Wright Way will remain at the mall, not sur about the Skillet, and not much information
from the dance studio. Barry hopes to have the tenants relocated for project starting in
March. Johnson reiterated the request for $ 00,000 with the major expense being
relocation costs. Harder numbers will be fo coming to the HRA.
HRA members received a copy of the letter om Ken Maus relating to TIP assistance for
the Monticello Mall. This mailed as suppoing data to the agenda supplement.
Barb Esse, MCP Chairperson, felt the redev lopment of the mall would serve as a
southern gateway to pull people into the co unity. She stated that the MCP did not
solicit Cub Foods. However, in asking the uestion, "Could any other business better fit
the plan? She believed "not" and acknowle ged the emotional concern for the local
grocer and tenants proposed for relocation. She noted the MCP is willing to work with
Cub Foods and the developer to assist with elocation of the displaced tenants. The
biggest impact Elk River has seen since the . g of the Cub store, is that Cub serves as
a selling card to other developers. Esse's 0, y question was "how good of a citizen is
Cub?" and that question was previously ered.
Mark Ruff explained his December 5 letter sing three approaches to qualify the '"but for"
test. The test being the redevelopment of e mall would occur solely on private dollars
without public assistance. There is a need fi r TIP but how much is the question continued
Ruff. First approach - Lease rates of $7.25 er sq ft for the grocery store and $12 per sq
ft for the smaller tenants appear within the ket and expected sales. Second approach -
Demolition, tenant relocation, and site impr vement costs are all eligible TIP expenditures.
Although the costs are estimates at this tim and are subject to change, Ruff felt the site
improvement costs of $200,000 were diffic t to justify as the current value of the site
includes site improvements. Therefore until such time evidence is provided, Ruff
suggested TIP assistance in the amount of$ 00,000 for demolition and relocation costs.
These estimated costs appear reasonable. . d approach - The rate of return to the
developer is estimated at 15%, typical for r al estate, assuming the value of the parcel

prior to demolition is $1,070,000. Currenty, the county assessor has the parcel valued at
$800,000. Administrator Wolfsteller rec d when the mall was valued at two million.
Utilizing a value of$1,070,000 less the out tanding debt of $350,000 leaves $720,000.
Assuming an annual TIF assistance of$45, 00 at 7.5% over 20 years plus an annual cash
flow of$63,000, an equity requirement of 720,000 is needed for a rate of return of 15%
continued Ruff. The real question: "Does e lIRA believe the value of the mall parcel
prior to demolition is $1,070,0001"
Based on the County Assessor's value of$ 2.85 per sq ft or $3,000,000; the estimated
annual tax increment would be approximat ly $90,000. Ruffrecommends the 50/50%
split with the BRA receiving the first $45, for other district redevelopment costs and
the second $45,000 to the redeveloper. Pr viously, the City Council agreed to ~e the
annual local contribution for the district w 'ch is estimated at $4,500 annually for
redevelopment of the mall.
Steve Andrews made a motion authorizing consultants to prepare a draft copy of the
Private Redevelopment Contract between e HRA and BBF, Inc. for approval by the
lIRA on January 7, 1998. TIF assistance', an amount not-to-exceed $400,000 pay-as-
you-go for demolition and tenant relocatio costs associated with the redevelopment of
the Monticello Mall. Details of the doc t to be negotiated by the consultants and the
Executive Director. Other conditions ofth documents but not-limited-to for
consideration: Final site improvement cost in 30-days; lease signed between BBF, Inc.
and SuperValu (Cub Foods, Inc.); line-it relocation costs; indemnifY agreement from
redeveloper and a relocation waiver fr-ome ch tenant. Bob MWTay seconded the motion.
The motion was subject to execution ofth TIF Preliminary Agreement and receipt of
$5,000 cashier check. With no further dis , ssion, the motion passed nmmimously. Pluth
informed HRA members he may approach e HRA as a separate issue to request
additional assistance to purchase property r relocation of tenants.
5.
HRA members reviewed the c-orrected ap aisal for -outl-ot A, the corrected appraised
value was $171,000 for 16.7 acres. The D cember 3 appraisal was $204,000 for 20 acres.
HRA members questioned as to the num of returned RFPs for the development of
Outlot A. The RFP was mailed in search 0 the highest and best use of the property as
moderate-high density residential. Korope' responded the RFPs are due December 12,
4:30 p.rn.. Members noted affordable hous' g using tax credits require a noise test and the
need for a berm. For conventional financin , a noise test is not required.

HRA MINUTES
DECEMBER 10, 1997
HRA members mentioned the inconsistenc ofthe $8-$12 average wage-level and the
desired $150,000 home values. Frie remin ed members that Mayor Fair approached him
with the need for affordable housing as a eans of available housing for the employees of
industries and to place Outlot A back on e tax roll. Frie believes the City should
develop the parcel and not be land specula ors. Wolfsteller informed members that the
City Council turned down an offer ofappr ximately $225,000 three years ago. Plus the
City receives annual billboard lease reven s of $10,-000. Brad Barger made a motion to
table any action until the January 7, 1998 eeting for review of the returned RFPs. Darrin
Lahr seconded the motion and with no er discussion, the motion passed ~manimously.
6.
Chair Barger informed member IDC Chair us contacted him regarding the potential of
a joint meeting as the HRA and IDC appe to have similar goals: Purchase of land for
future industrial use and development of a ketmg -pr-ogram. Darrin Lahr made a
motion accepting the invitation and direct' g staff along with the IDC to determine a date
for an evening meeting with the agenda . ed one-week in advance of the meeting date.
Steve Andrews seconded the motion and ..th no further discussion, the motion passed
unanimously. Murray will be out-of-town ecember 19 to the 30.
Other Business.
a. and b.) Accepted.
c.) NG/Comm1lnityCenter Update - HRACommunity,C-enter Representative Steve
Andrews reported on the December 5 tour to Maplewood, Shoreview, North St. Paul,
Rosemount, and Chaska. Andrews sees Lease Revenue Bonds which has a higher
impact on businesses as a stop-gap: A me to finance the core facility utilizing the 1.5
million NG dollars and perhaps the additio of a sales tax. It is proposed the core facility
will not include ice but perhaps an aquatic enter as a family attraction. Barger questioned
the duplication of uses and membership pr vided by the school and the health club.
Koropchak noted the aquatic center may t include a lap pool but consist of a leisure
pool only for use by all ages. Additionally the multi-use of the core facility could be used
for walk-in basketball and volleyball rather than scheduled games.
7.
The MCP represents community involve t but has not voted on the community center
reported Lahr. If the proposed cost inclu g an aquatic center is seven to ten million
without operations: How far is one willing to drive? Becker is ten miles. Could the lIRA
ask for an advisory vote? Two questions sked the most of some HRA members: The city
purchased land adjoining the city hall som years ago for future expansion of the city hall
at the current site. Why not expand as p ed? Or what happened to that plan?
Secondly, if the city hall was not included, hat would be in the community center? Or if
the project is estimated at $6 million and e NG contributes $1.5 million and the city hall

$800,000 (not land), what is the $4 millio for? Wolfsteller estimated to expand the city
hall on the current site would costs about 400,000. Andrews said the proposed NG/city
hallIcommunity center is consistent with Revitalization Plan and the City Council's
direction to the HRA was to issue Leaseevenue Bonds for the core facility. The bonds
are a City levy and only the HRA name is sed. Some members questioned the lIRA's
responsibility to citizens. Estimated costs f 6 million for NG/city hall/community center
and 7 to 10 million with aquatic center. B ger would prefer seeing the greater impact on
his home than his business. HRA member agreed and recommended that Andrews advise
the Community Center Task Force of the oncerns of the lIRA at the upcoming task force
meeting prior to the next HRA meeting. e community presentation is scheduled for
January 20.
d) lIRA West Broadway Lot - Dan Frie de a motion allowing the MCP to utilize the
HRA lot described as Lots 7 and 8 except or ..., Block 52, at no liability to the lIRA.
Brad Barger seconded the motion and wi . no further discussion, the motion passed

Brad Johnson representing Monticello M owners Barry and Barbara Fluth, informed
HRA members that the owners. plan to de olish the existing Monticello Mall structure
and construct a new facility to lease to Cu Foods, Inc. liRA members received a written
request for $600,000 ofTIF assistance for osts associated with demolition, relocation of
tenants, and site improvements. Redevelo ment of the mall is consistent with the
downtown/riverfront revitalization plan, . encourage other spin-off development
opportunities, and will increase the market alue of the City of Monticello continued
Johnson. If the proposed tenant, Cub Foo s, does not locate in Monticello they will
locate in another community. Cub's plan' to circle the twin cities, one such proposal
includes development in Buffalo. The pro osed Monticello grocery store is 65,000 sq ft
and will create 150 jobs. Fifty of the 150 j bs will be full-time with wages ranging
between $8.00 to $12.00 per hour plus fits. The proposed tenant supports a
community through community sponsorshi s. Currently, negotiations between Fluth and
Cub Foods and between Fluth and the CUff t mall tenants is underway. The proposed
tenant wishes to occupy the facility in fall f 1998; therefore, construction is anticipated to
begin in March 1998. The proposed groc store will be a corporate store.
The proposed project includes 5,000 sq ft f other retail space in addition to the 65,000 sq
ft. of grocery space. The proposed grocery store will be a full Cub operation and includes
a bank, pharmacy, etc. Mr. Johnson report Cub controls the cost or rent expense and
felt the $600,000 TIF assistance or one- the TIF was a reasonable request from the
owner. He expects the preliminary lease a eement with Cub to be completed December
19. It is anticipated that two existing te s will occupy the 5,000 sq ft and the other
tenants will relocate in the downtown area esulting in no loss of businesses.

HRA MINUTES
DECEMBER 3, 1997
HRA members asked if the requested $600 000 was a level playing-field and how the
amount of the request was determined. M k Ruffresponded that Koropchak checked
with the Wright County Assessor who sug ested a $42.86 per sq ft value by using the
comparative approach. The existing Maus tructure is valued at $42.09 per sq ft and the
existing mall is valued a $11.48 per sq ft. . Johnson assumed the income approach as
used in Elk River and other metro areas us' g $60.00 per sq ft resulting in approximately
50% ofthe tax increment or $600,000 of a sistance over time. Mark suggested an
Assessment Agreement as one-way to mak this work assuming the County Assessor
would sign-off at $60.00 per sq ft. Brad J hnson informed HRA members the purpose of
redevelopment is to increase property valu s and felt if the original value was low perhaps
the HRA would not maximize the full tax' crement potential. The life duration of the
district is another option for the HRA to c nsider. Mark suggested the details of the TIF
assistance be determined after the HRA co iders the request for TIF assistance and
authorizes the lIRA consultants to further xplore the TIF options.
Koropchak provided members with a copy ofthe level ofTIF assistance approved for
similar projects: Lincoln Properties (K-M as tenant), Raindance Properties (Maus
Foods as tenant), and Demeules Family L' . ed Partnership (Standard Iron as tenant).
Ruffprovided members with TIF Cash Flo s using both a $42.86 and $60 per sq ft
market value.
lIRA members analyzed and evaluated the roposed mall redevelopment project against
the lIRA-TIF Policies. The proposed proj ct met consideration nos. 1,2,3,5, 7 (50/50
split), and 8 (Walnut & West 7 Street) of e policies. Nos. 4 and 6 were not applicable.
lIRA members questioned Mr. Johnson re ting to Cub Foods involvement in a
community and requested more informatio . No.9 being an important issue to the lIRA,
Mr. Johnson suggested a Super Value rep sentative be present at the next lIRA meeting;
however, he noted the TIF assistance requ st is from the developer/owner of the mall,
Barry Fluth, and not from the proposed te t, Cub Foods.
Koropchak requested the developer/own provide the lIRA with. written evidence
satistying the "but for" test, an updated pr forma, a line-item request of the $600,000, and
a list of the tenants with relocation destina ions.
Lahr expressed interest in redevelopment fthe south anchor; however, he was not
interested in the lIRA buying the anchor. e asked if the developer could show the cost
to develop on raw land compared to the c st for redevelopment of the mall. Johnson
indicated because the proposed project ha only one or two small tenants, the profit
margin to the owner is less.

HRA MINlITES
DECEMBER 3, 1997
HRA members recognized the proposed te t, Cub Foods, Inc., has other options.
Monticello options: The mall site or sites so th of the interstate with the potential of other
strip mall tenants. Or other communities: B ffalo, Albertville, or Rogers. Members
agreed the proposed redevelopment project and site was consistent with the TIF
Redevelopment District Plan, City Compre nsive Plan, andMCP Revitalization Plan and
provides opportunity for other spin-offbus. ess. Johnson indicated the proposed tenant
is interested in Monticello because of the gr wth and transportation system. Cub looks at
the trade area not the community size. Vic Chair Andrews asked if anyone in the
audience had questions or would like to e comments. Being none, the commissioners
proceeded.
Because the proposed mall redevelopment oject and site is consistent with the above
named Plans, the TIF Policies, increases the tax base, and eliminates substandard/blighted
property; Bob Murray made a motion autho . . g Ehlers & Associates and Kennedy &
Graven to further explore the request for assistance and called for a special meeting of
the HRA on December 10, 1997, 7:00 p.m. The motion was subject to receiving a cashier
check in the amount of$5,000 from the dev loper and a list of the existing mall tenants
with proposed relocation destinations. Dan Frie seconded the motion and with no further
discussion, the motion passed lJDanlmously.

Rod Dragsted, a local appraiser, appraised e 20-acre parcel at $204,000 or $10,200 per
acre. Dan Frie thought the comparatives w e good; however, he noted the discrepancy
between the 20-acre parcel of the appraisal the 16-acre parcel reference in the RFP for
development of moderate-high density resi entia! housing. Bob Murray made a motion to
return the appraisal to the appraiser for re' and correction. The corrected appraisal

With no response from the sellers, Richard d Marian Carlson; Steve Andrews made a
motion to table any action until the January , 1998 BRA meeting. It was noted the use
of the garage at 220 Front Street should co' cide with the life duration of the 225 Front

with no further discussion, the motion pass d nmmlmously.
Steve Johnson representing the Monticello ord/Mercury dealership informed BRA
members that the car industry today is very focused and with the growth of the local
dealership comes the need to expand on or ear the present site. He continued with a brief
history of the dealership stating in 1977, L Flake relocated the dealership from its
West Broadway location. Two years ago, eterson planned to remodel and expand the
facility from 15,000 to 35,000 sq ft as the ealership tripled its sales of new cars out-
selling three metropolitan dealers. Howev , the current site is a little less than 5 acres
and a 10-acre site is ideal for expansion. e dealership has learned it wi11lose its direct
access via West Oakwood Drive and High ay 25 with the new 1-94 easterly exist and
enter ramps. The dealership's new access'; proposed via the alignment of proposed West
Chelsea Road and Highway 25 and then' t on Sandberg Road. Lastly, the dealership
was hit with two million dollars of damage 0 vehicles and property with the July 1997
storm.
10.
.
The dealership needs the property to the s uth for expansion and accessibility. The
dealership is attempting to negotiate a land sale with the owners of the Hart Clinic
building; however, the Clinic appears not' terested in a quick turn-around time continued
Johnson. An appraisal of the property has en obtained. The State is negotiating with
the dealership via an appraisal ofthe value [the closed access. Johnson requested the
BRA serve as a facilitator to assist in ret '.' g the dealership at its present location
perhaps to facilitate the procurement ofth land or utilizing its power of condemnation.

HRA MINUTES
DECEMBER 3,1997
The dealership can grow or die continued J hnson. To grow the company options are to
expand at the present site or relocate and e and elsewhere in Monticello or outside
Monticello.
lIRA members noted the financial standings of the dealership: Increased sales, insurance
settlement for storm damage, and State sett ement for closed access. Mark Ruff informed
Johnson that in order for an HRA to conde property there needs to be a public purpose
or to create a Redevelopment District the operty must qualify as blighted. Neither
option fit nor qualified. HRA members sug ested perhaps if another site in Monticello
was found, an exchange of properties could occur. Mayor Fair suggested the EDA's
revolving loan fund as another option.

Council Vision and Policies.
Commissioners Darrin Lahr and Bob Murra informed the other commissioners that they
and Koropchak met a couple oftimes to dr ft the enclosed action plan which supports the
vision and policies of the Council. The p as presented is not in detailed form, this was
the intent of the sub-group. In addition to e $75,000 matching fund for future industrial
land, the sub-group requested of the City B dget another $30,000 for marketing and
$35,000 to assist with land acquisition asso iated with the downtown revitalization plan.
Final budget approval by the City Council. anticipated early December. Darrin Lahr
made a motion to accept the Economic De lopment Action Plan as written and the
amount of the budget request. Steve Andr s seconded the motion and with no further

and with no discussion, the motion passed 'ous1y.

on the tour of community centers at the ne HRA meeting.
14. Other Business.
a) Special meeting of December 10, 1997, 7:00 p.m. was called.
b) 401 Front Street - Although the pro y has river frontage and the price was lowed,
the commissioners agreed the timing was n t right for purchase of the parcel because two
parcels with structures lie between the 401 ront Street parcel and targeted Blocks 54 and
64 and with the lack of excessive HRA fun s and no foreseeable project for the parcel.
HRA members agreed they were not intere ed at this time.

HRA AGENDA
JANUARY 7,1998
5.
A. Reference and Background:
At the HRA meeting of December 10, the approved $400,000 ofTIF assistance to
Developer Barry Fluth (BBF, Inc.) for rede elopment of the Monticello Mall. The pay-as-
you-go assistance at 7.5% interest rate for emolition and relocation costs. Other terms
and conditions of the contract to be det ed by the HRA consultants. Enclosed is the
first draft ofthe Contract which was receiv today. At this point, I have not had the
opportunity to review the contract. For yo information, ARTICLES III and IV may be
of most interest to HRA members. The ot er sections are generally pretty boiler plate.
Terms and conditions to consider:
Capped amount ofTIF assistance - 400,000 for demolition and tenant relocation
costs.
Construction of 65,000 sq ft groc
Commencement and completion co
Executed Lease Agreement betwe

struction dates.
BBF, Inc. and Cub Foods, Inc.
I have also enclosed an updated copy ofth estimated relocation costs and proposed
destination oftenants. As of last week, th e were no written relocation agreements
between the developer and the tenants and no executed lease agreement between the
developer and Cub Foods. Lease agreem t rescheduled for January 9. A meeting has
been scheduled for Wednesday, January 7, 5 :30 p.rn. at City Hall between Barry Pluth,
Brad Johnson, Mark Ruff, Mayor Fair, Ri Wolfsteller, and Koropchak. Mr. Johnson
suggested the meeting and my assumption . s the developer may request additional TIF
assistance.
I
.
.
.
HRA AGENDA
JANUARY 7, 1998
B. Alternative Action:
1. Approve the Private Redevelopmen Contract between the HRA and BBF, Inc.
assisting the developer with an amo t not-to-exceed $400,000 for demolition and
tenant relocation costs.
2. Approve the Private Development ontract between the HRA and BBF, Inc.
subject to modifications defined by he liRA.
3. Deny the approval of a Private Red velopment Contract between the HRA and
BBF.
4. Table any action.
C. Recommendation:
Recommendation is Alternative No.1.
If the developer request an additional amo t ofTIF assistance, the recommendation is to
keep an open mind and to keep in mind the purpose of the district: Redevelopment of
blighted or substandard properties. Certa' y, the "selling card" of a CUb Foods as tenant
has an economic benefit to the developm t of Monticello. What is the best return of
investment as it relates to the proposed 5050 split ofTIF? Would the HRA see a greater
and faster return of investment if the split ere 60% mall redevelopment and 40% Walnut
or community center redevelopment? Per ps, the ma111and value should be increased
from its present value of$64,164 per acre 7.18 acres) to the asking price of surrounding
raw lands of$lOO,OOO to $150,000 per a through an Assessment Agreement. Lastly,
Dan Wilson, Expert on Relocation Issues, oted there is a difference between relocation
costs and acquisition costs. He recommen s when public dollars are involved with
relocation costs, the assistance be distribut d somewhat equal among tenants. An
exception to this may be when special eq . ment or machines require dismantling, moving,
and setup by specialist. Alternative NO.2 Y need to be considered.
D. Supporting Data:

BRA AGENDA

.
.
A. Reference and Background:
The purpose oftms meeting with the HRA is to review design and financing alternatives
as recommended by the NG/Community Cent Task Force.
First, a member of the architectural team from , Inc. will review design alternatives
for the proposed NG/Community Center. Se nd1y, Rusty Fifield, Ehlers & Associates,
financial consultant for the project, will review the financial alternatives. And lastly, Steve
Andrews, BRA representative on the NG/Co unity Task Force, will infonn the

presentation on Tuesday, January 20, 1998, at 7:00 p.m.

.
A. Reference and Back~ound:
Enclosed is a copy of the first draft of the eliminary Development Agreement between
the HRA, City, and Armory Commission as prepared by Dan Greensweig of Kennedy &
Graven. You will note this is a preliminary greement and is subject to change.
"Preliminary" is key as the described buil . g square footage and construction financing
means may be inconsistent with the updat information provided under Item No.6. The
intent of the preliminary agreement is to est blish the rights and responsibilities of the
parties with respect to the preliminary p . g and development of the NG/Community
Center. Attorney Greensweig will explain e process of Lease Revenue Bonds, review
the enclosed agreement, and answer questi ns of the HRA. The Preliminary Agreement
was distributed at the architect, consultants and staff meeting of December 30. I have not
heard any feedback from the Armory Co . ssion via Attorney Greensweig, the Council
will address the prellminary agreement at t Council meeting of January 12.
B. Alternative Action:
1.
Approve the first draft of the Pre. . ary Development Agreement between the
HRA, City, and Armory Commissi
2. Approve the first draft ofthe Pre. . ary Development Agreement between the
HRA, City, and Armory subject to escribed modifications.
3. Deny approval of the first draft oft e Preliminary Development Agreement.
4. Table any action.
C. Recommendation:
In lieu of the HRA concerns that Lease Re enue Bonds eliminates the need for
referendum, what happened to the expansi n plans for City Hall at its existing site, what is
included in the 4-million dollars of the pro sed 6-million core facility, and with
information gathered from the community enter tours; the first recommendation is that
the HRA raise these questions and cone prior to the Council meeting of January 12
and public meeting of January 20. Additio y, does the proposed budget include
construction, land, and equipment/fixture sts, operational costs, and replacement costs?
Second recommendation, perhaps it is wis to honor the City Council's decision for the
.
.
.
HRA AGENDA
JANUARY 7,1998
BRA to issue Lease Revenue Bonds and to a vise the City Council because there is no
referendum (no tax payer's choice), the core acility be controlled in size and by cost. The
lIRA does have the legal right to withdraw ough non-approval of the future Lease
Agreement.

FROM:
Daniel J. Greensweig
RE:
Lea!\e Purchase Financing
.
1 have been al'ked to provide you with a brief exp ation of lea"~e purchase financing as it would
relate to the proposed Monticello cotnmunity cent r/dty hall/armory (the "Community Center"),
and the implications that this type of financing procedun: would have for the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority in and for the city of onticello (the "HRA "). While a defInitive
description of the way the process would work in e specific context of the Community Center
depends in part on the form of any final agree ent reached among the HRA. the: dty of
Monticello (the "City"). and the state. it is pOl'sibl to offer a general overview.
A lease purchase agreement is authorized by inn ota Statutes. section 465.71. As this
financing mechanism is used in most situations. v' ually the only role of the lessor (in this case.
the HRA) is to issue the bonds nece!\sary to financ the project. It i~ the lessee (in thi~ ca!'e the
City) that handles construction. operation and m intenance of the facUity. It is worthwhile.
however. to more fully consider how a lease purch e agreement would function with regards to
the Community Center project-
.
A housing and redevelopment authority's relevant ower to issue bonds is set forth in Minnesota
Statutes. Section 469.034. That authority includes e power to issue bonds payable solely from
revenUes derived from the project fmanced by the b nd sale, and to do so without conducting an
election on the issue. The HRA is therefore legally authorized to sell bonds: for the Community
Center that wilt be repaid solely out of revenue.o;; d .ved from the Community Center. In other
words. the bonds can be structured in such a way that they are not general obligations of the
HRA or the City.

N3^V~~ , Aa3NN3~-WOJ~ wd~9:Z0 B6-90-uer
.
.
.
For 1m' bonds to be saleable. however. the HR.A ust ha.ve some source of revenue from which
the bond~ can be repaid. Tn the case of the Co unity Center. the proposal has been that the
City would lease a substantial portion of the Co munity Center for a variety of purposes. The
state of Minnesota may also be making lease pa ents in e'tchange for its right to use a portion
of the Community Center. although it has not yet been dctennined whether it is best to structure
payments by the state as lea~e payments. con .butions to operating expenses. or something
similar. In any event it i:s these lease paymen s that would be pledged to repayment of the
bonds. (For the !\alee of ~impHcity, T am ignoring tho revenue!; that might be generated by an ice
rink or aquatic facility that could also be applied toward bond repayments.)
The important point is that the City would retain the annual right to refu~ to appropriate funds
for the lease. Because of this right to nonapprop .ate. the lea~ between the City and the HRA
would not be considered a long-term obligation 0 the City a,nd no election is required before the
City enters into the lease.
Nevertheless. the marketability of the bond'i d end~ in large part on how certain potential
bondholders are that the City wilt make the ann al appropriation necessary to make payments
on the bonds. In general, a bondholder will feel ore secure that a city will make appropriations
for municipal necessities than for facilities only arginally related to the city's core functions.
In other words. it will usually be ea&ier (and the fote cheaper) to !'ell lea~e revenue bonds to
finance a city hall. for which the city will ost certainly make the necessary annual
appropriations. than for a golf course. which a cl may later decide i~ an unnecessary expense.
Here, it appears likely that the rest of the Comrnu ity Center will be integrally related to the city
hall. and Rusty Fifield. the city's financial adviso , bell eves that selling the bonds wi11likely be
made easier by this fact.
After the bonds have been sold, the lease agree ent between the HRAand the City can be
terminated in either of two ways. First. the City ould refuse to appropriate during the term of
the lease. Ii this should happen. the City would J se its right to use the Community Center and
the HRA (or the bond trustee) would attempt to find another entity to rent the space.
Alternatively, the City could make all pa.yments Ue under the lease. resulting in full payment
of the bonds and the acquisition by the City of titl to the Community Center. leaving aside the
'itate's owncr!\hip of certain parts of the armory th would be construc.."ted with state funds. This
is a.gain something of an oversimplification. igno . g as it does the role of the trustee with regard
to management of the Community Center in the ent of the City"s non appropriation and the
impact of the state.s involvement. Nevertheless. t should be reiterated that the HRA will not
be required to make payments out of its general fu d~ to cover the outstanding bonds regardless
of whether the City decides to appropriate in any iven year.
It is also important to keep in mind that the will presumably not have any obligations
concerning the day-to.day operationl\ of the Co unity Center, at least $0 long as the City
continue!' to make its annual appropriation~. B ng some presently unfore~een reason for the
HRA to participate in management of the Community Center. the expectation is that the City and
the National Guard would enter into an agreement a.11ocating operational responsibilities and costs
between those two entities.

lIRA AGENDA
JANUARY 7,1998
8.
A. Reference and Back~round:
Chuck Malkerson, Community Capital, will e the second presentation for
development of affordable housing utilizing ax credits. In November, Mr. David Ben of
Freedom Development and Consulting mad a presentation to the HRA. Development of
affordable housing was brought to the fore- ont at the request of the Mayor to provide
affordable housing for the employment base of Monticello industries.
It is my understanding Community Capital r searched the availability and feasibility of the
City Staff suggested-sites for redevelopmen: or development of an affordable housing
project. I believe the proposed one project . include two sites. Project details will be
presented at the meeting. The HRA may requested to assist with the tax credit
program not by creating a TIF Housing Dis rict but through Pilot Taxes. This is
something new for the HRA and Executive Director to consider and weigh the pros and
cons. Tax credit application deadline for d velopers is February 12, 1998.
The first decision by the HRA is whether t endorse or support the affordable housing
concept? Does affordable housing meet t City Vision and Policies?
B 1. Alternative Action.
1. Approve the concept of an afforda Ie housing project and assisting with project
costs for tax credit application.
2. Deny approval of the concept of an affordable housing project and assisting with
costs tax credit application.
B2. Alternative Action.
Assuming the lIRA approved Alternative 0.1 ofBl, the BRA would need to consider
the following action. If Alternative No.2 s approved, no need to proceed.
1.
Endorse both projects and let the rit of each project be ranked for tax credit
funding by the agency. (In this cas , the HRA doesn't eliminate any project.
However, if one or more applicati ns were submitted and because tax credit
applications are very competitive, ould this hinder the approval for funding a
project in Monticello?)
I
.
.
.
HRA AGENDA
JANUARY 7,1998
2. Endorse one project only. (Perhaps only one project meets the community
objectives and this may increase the chance for tax credit funding.)
a. David Bell's proposed atTor able housing project is tied to the purchase
and returned RFPs for devel pment of Outlot A, Country Club Manor.
This may be out of the juris . iction of the HRA as the HRA will make a
recommendation to the City Council as outlined in the next agenda item.
b. Community Capital's propo ed affordablehousmg project needs additional
time to research and for consideration to assist through a pilot tax
program. (Table and schoo e a special lIRA meeting. Next regular
meeting of the HRA is Fe ary 4.)
C. Recommendation:
It appears if the HRA endorses the concep of an affordable housing project, the
endorsement for one proposed project is ei! er out of the jurisdiction of the HRA or lacks
information for a decision (premature).

raisa! for Outlot
A.
Reference and background:
The deed for this parcel is in the name ofth HRA and through previous agreements
between the HRA and City, the HRA gave p all rights associated with the property.
Because the HRA is owner via the deed, t lIRA will need to hold a public hearing for
the disposition ofraw lands at the time the ouncil elects to sell the parcel. As it was the
desire to place the Outlot A parcel back of e tax roll and at the advise of Mark Ruff, the
HRA recommended RFP be mailed for dev lopment of moderate-high density residential.
Of about 12 ~ RFP mailed, two develo s returned RFPs.
RETURNED REQUEST FOR PROPOS
Quick assessment of the two returned RFPs.
Hornig Companies - Proposed development of 7 buildings with 56 two-bedroom units and
21 one-bedroom units and 4 buildings with 4 two-bedroom units and 8 one-bedroom
units for a total of 109 market-rate rental .ts. Offer $300,000,20% down at closing
and $240,000 contract for deed @ 7% inter st rate. See excerpt.
Freedom Development and Consulting - Pr posed development of Park Side Court
Townhomes - 6 six-plex buildings consistin of 12 two-bedroom units and 24 three-
bedroom units for a total of 36 affordable using rental unit-s.Pr-oposed development for
:Pine View Estates - 36 units of market-rat rental townhome units and 42 units of for sale
townhome units. Total proposed project is 114 units. Offer $151,675 and request the
City waive the per acre trunk storm sewer c' ges. TIP assistance suggested to repay the
City for the per acre storm sewer charge, th installation of the sidewalks on 7 Street, and
for the per acre land price for the 1.73 acre ity park. See excerpt.
APPRAISAL
The lIRA appraisal valued the 16.7 acre p el at $171,000.
Enclosed is the agenda supplement from the December HRA meeting. You will note an
earlier developer informed HRA members 0 the high cost ofraw land in Monticello.
$100,000 to $150,000 per acre asking.
The HRA may wish to make a recommenda ion to the City Council.

HRA AGENDA
DECEMBER 3, 1997
7.
A Reference and background:
At the November meeting, Rod Dragstad was authorized to complete an appraisal of
Outlot A for the HRA. Enclosed is a copy of the appraisal.
~
Also enclosed is a copy of a resolution, memorandum, and agreement between or by the
City and HRA relating to this parcel. In lieu f the agreements between the City and
lIRA, it is the recommendation of Administra or Wolfsteller and Koropchak: that the lIRA
review and recommend a disposition price for consideration of approval by the City
Council. A few years ago when the City req ested RFPs, the City was offered
approximately $225,000 for the 16-acre parc 1. However, the project fell through. Of the
16-acre parcel, 10.4 acres is available for hou ing development as 2.5 acres is required for
parkland and 3.1 acres for storm sewer pond evelopment.
.
Per the request ofthe HRA in November, RF s were mailed on November 14 to ten
developers and Realtors and are due back no ater than December 12.
B.
Alternative Action:
1.
A motion recommending a dispositio
consideration of approval.
for City Council
C. Recommendation:
without City Council
2.
A motion recommending a dispositio
consideration of approval.
3. A motion to hold the property until d velopment of West 7 Street creating a
linkage to County Club Road. (Perh s land value will increase)
4. A motion to table a decision until ret ofRFPs.
In preparation of the anticipated return of s and the desire to place the parcel back on
the tax roll, perhaps a recommendation of a isposition price is in order. Although it has
not been determined who will benefit from t sale, it is recommended that the Council
consider for approval any recommendation b the HRA: therefore, recommendation is
Alternative No.1. The Council needs to be pdated on this item.

D. Financing:
1. Construction funding will be from our own r sources. Permanent financing will be
conventional from the most competitive sour e we can find.
2. We anticipate no funding subsidy
3. No subsidy
4. Any family income that exceeds our basic g idelines ( 30% of household income
available for rent). There will be no maxim level.
5. We believe the growing Monticello area will provide the base of our residents.
6. Our present thought is to develop the land n ar County Rd. #39 first and work
towards the pond. Developer agrees to shar the cost of the pond development as it
benefits this parcel.
7. We offer $300,000 for the parcel, payable as follows: 20% down payment at closing,
$240,000 contract for deed @ 7% interest 0 ly, $1400 per month payable semi-
annually ($8400). First 2 building sites wou d be owned by developer; subsequent
buildings would pay a prorated share ofrem ining balance (approximately $27,000)
prior to construction start for release of Title Payments on contract would reflect
lower principal amounts so that interest onl payment would remain. Not
withstanding the above proposal, the entire maining principal balance would be due
5 years from original closing.

C/O Jeff O'Neill
Dear Jeff,
Thanks for the RFP packet. I am enclosing a oposal for your review. Unlike 2 years
ago when we were selected to develop the site, I have tried to make this as simple as
possible - no contingencies and no requests for city participation! This proposal is based
on our belief that current market rents and inte est rates will allow us to do what we did
not feel we could earlier-- i.e. produce a marke rate community that will carry itself.
This plan is a modified Town house design th includes covered parking and largely
separate entries. The unit mix is designed to a commodate families as well as single or
senior citizens. We think it is attractive from t e highway and the nearby residential
community. We can close this transaction im ediately!
Proposal Requirements:
.
.
A. Developer Background Information:
We own and manage over 1000 rental units in Minnesota. About 300 of those are in
smaller outstate communities. The remaining 700+ are in the metropolitan area. We
have personally developed over 400 units thro ghout the state.
B. Developer Qualifications:
I have enclosed a list of properties that we ow and manage. Approximately 300 units
have been financed by FMHA or MHF A. Th balance have been owner financed or
lender financed at market rate.
.
C. Development Concept:
Site plan: see enclosed plan from Jim Cooper an, our architect.
10. We propose to purchase the entire parcel r our project, and will work with city staff
to create pond area and park.
11. The buildings are 8 or 11 units in size. W plan to develop one building at a time
using our own funds - filling it, place con entional financing on it, then immediately
develop the second building. Demand wi 1 determine whether the project will be
completed in 1-2 years or more.
Building Design:
2. Pre finished materials will be used whene er possible. Exterior siding will be metal or
vinyl with vinyl windows. The exterior ill be totally maintenance free.
3. Noise Mitigation: Building design and la out of site will attempt to minimize
exposure to freeway noise. Only 3 of the 11 buildings will directly face the freeway
and they will act to shield the balance of uildings from direct traffic. All neighbors
will benefit. See detail for proposed ber along the freeway.

HRA AGENDA
JANUARY 7, 1998
It. n i n fir
a) 225 Front Street - Marian Carlson calle while I was on vacation the week of
December 15. In responding to messages, s. Carlson was very upset and inquired to
why the 1997 offer of $130,000 was $33,00 less than the 1996 offer of$163,000 when
the assessed value increased and the inside as immaculate. She was disgusted with the
suggestion to use the lIRA garage in its pre ent condition. Upon leaving the lIRA
meeting in October, she understood LiaisonCarlson to imply there would be no problem
to reconstruct the garage. Unable to recall he lIRA minutes, I thought the November
1997 offer was lower because the January 1 96 offer was prior to the damage resulting
from the fire and the July storm and neither surance claims have been settled. Checking
the minutes, the HRA was not satisfied wit the comparatives used by the appraiser in the
second appraisal and neither the first or sec nd appraisal listed the property within the
flood plain. Reconstruction of the garage ould require construction at a level equal to or
above the flood plain. Reconstruction oft garage was an issue for the Planning
Commission or City Council and Koropch was directed to refer this to the Planning
Commission. Koropchak encouraged Mrs. Carlson to make a counter-offer to the lIRA
and/or to contact the HRA Chair. Mrs. C Ison plans to have the property appraised
therefore does not plan to attend the Janu 7 BRA meeting.
FACTS: On January lO, 1996, the HRA a oved a purchase option in the amount of
$163,000 with an option fee of$2,500 and the right to exercise the option within six
months. The October 1995 appraised valu was $163,000. The purchase option was
offered or presented on January 12. The e occurred on February 6, 1996. On February
14, 1996, the HRA-declared the January 1 offerof$163,OOO null and void as the HRA
did not receive a copy ofthe written respo se of the February 5, 1996 counter-offer which
increased the option fee from $2,500 to $5000. Deadline for the written response to the
January 12 offer was February 7. The No ember 1997 appraised value was $165,000.
b) 3 Walnut Street -In a conversation will Mr. Schliefon December 31, they are
attempting to clear the title defects throu Quit Claims. One party has been unwilling to
sign that being O'Connor. In the meant' , I have received an application for rent from
Adam and Truda Boler for your considera ion. Not knowing the date of ownership, I
have not attempted to contact the given re erences. They are aware ofthe uncertain
ownership date and that the HRA plans to clean the carpets only.
c) Potential second TIF District No. 1-22 edeve10pment project - Jeff and I have had
preliminary discussions with a developer r construction of a 6,000 sq ft print two-story
building. Two sites were identified within he boundary of District 1-22. The proposed
redevelopment project could increase the ket value by approximately $550,000 and the
annual tax increment is estimated at abou $22,000. One site would require acquisition
and demolition and the second site acquis tion, demolition, and relocation. Is the HRA
interested in the concept for possible TIF ssistance?

HRA looks at mall
redevelopment
by Ollie Koropchak
Economic Development Director
Redevelopment of the Monticello Mall is the first proposed p oject presented
to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Commission embers heard
a request for TIF assistance from owner Barry Fluth. Mr. F th plans to
demolish the existing mall structure, relocate the existing te ants, and
construct a new 70,000 sq ft facility with a major tenant pro osed as Cub
Foods, Inc. TIF District No. 1-22 was established by the Cit in early 1997
for the purpose of assisting with redevelopment of sub stand rd and under-
utilized property within the district boundaries and as a me ns to imple-
ment the MCP Downtown/Riverfront Revitalization Plan. r. Fluth re-
quested $600,000 of TIF assistance. The HRA approved TIF assistance in
the amount of $400,000 for demolition and tenant relocation costs associ-
ated with redevelopment of the mall. The proposed redevel pment project
is projected to increase the anual tax base by $99,000 and cr ate other spin-
off business. In addition to assisting with the redevelopmen of the mall,
the HRA plans to use the remaining 50% of the tax increme t from the
redeveloped mall for other eligible redevelopment costs within the TIF
district. ,.
