EDC Minutes May 20, 2011 Page 2 of 2 Mounds View Business Park North. The amendment added religious institutions as a permitted use of the property. Therefore, Bethlehem Baptist Church was able to move into "Building N". Since religious institutions are tax-exempt, the church offered to provide bi- annual donations of about $2,500 to the EDA until the year 2014. The church requested that the EDA expend the funds towards economic development activities within Mounds View. The EDC discussed ideas for ways the EDA could use these funds. The EDC's consensus was to suggest that the EDA allow the dollars accumulate through the end of the year 2013 because that is when the donations cease and that the EDA should use the funds towards new signage for County Road 10. The EDC discussed that about $12,500 in funds would accumulate between now and 2013, which would not cover the entire cost of new signage. B. Discuss Possible EDC Resolution Regarding the Development of the Proposed Minnesota Vikings Multi -Purpose Facility on the TCAAP Site in Arden Hills The EDC discussed this item at length. They asked City staff to draft a resolution stating that the EDC wants to remain notified and involved in the City of Mounds View's discussions about the proposed stadium development on the TCAAP site in Arden Hills.
