DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council ("Council") of the City of Monticello, Minnesota
("City") as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City of Monticello Economic Development Authority (the "Authority")
currently administers Central Monticello Development Project No. 1 (the "Project"), pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to 469.1082, as amended.

certain property described in Exhibit A (the "Property"), and intends to hold the Property until
such time as a favorable redevelopment prospect is presented to the Authority.
1.03. In order to maintain the Property and to prevent additional blighting conditions
over the short term, the Authority and the City propose to enter into a two-year Lease Agreement
(the "Lease") between the Authority and the Parks Department of the City (the "Tenant"),
pursuant to which the Authority will lease the Property to the Tenant for use as a multi-purpose
arts programming craft shop and related storage facility.
1.05. The City finds and determines that the lease of the Property by the Authority to
the Tenant is for a public purpose and is in the public interest because it will further the
development objectives of the Project, prevent further blight or blighting conditions, and
maintain the tax base.

2.01. The Council approves the Lease as presented to the Council, subject to
modifications that do not alter the substance of the transaction and that are approved by an
