The graduate student, Betsy Hubbard, presented portions of her Masters Thesis. Through the course of her studies, she interviewed hundreds of organization/agencies that had formed partnerships to accomplish a goal. She developed a matrix that is outstanding. I have included the matrix herein for your records. Cathy, Paul and I met with Jim Winkels (former New Brighton and Brooklyn Park Community Development Director) and three of his clients who would like to build a medical supply company on the lot adjacent to the Bridges Practice Range (Doug Watson's property - Lot 3 of the new plat) . The company appears to be a high quality company that provides medical equipment for home health care. It is currently located in Ham Lake, but on property that does not have good highway access. The company is seeking TIF assistance, the amount has yet to be determined. Today's meeting was a "get to know" each other type meeting to explain the City's process and timeline. Jim Winkels will be putting together the company's pro forma for our examination and plans to attend the June Work Session to present their proposal to the Council. Prior to that meeting, staff will meet with Bob Thistle to review their pro forma and will provide the results to the Council. It should be noted here that the purchase agreement with Watson for the golf course property included a provision that the City would, at some future time, consider TIF assistance in the amount of $230, 000 for water and sewer connections and off site ponding for the three remaining Watson lots. I will be out of the office Wednesday - Friday of next week attending the State City Manager's Conference in Brainerd. I promise I won't embarrass you by showing up on any expose done by the I Team Report! Samantha Highway 10 Committee Bus Tour: • Two members of the Highway 10 Committee participated in a bus tour last Friday. The tour included Old Highway 8, New Brighton; Highway 61 , White Bear Lake; County Road E, Vadnais Heights; Hub Center/Lyndale Square; Richfield and Centennial Lakes/Edinborough in Edina. A representative from each community gave an overview of their planning process. A consistent element in each community is that the plans were developed with the assistance of a consultant and each plan groups properties together and designates the desired development in each group. It is anticipated that the Highway 10 Committee will present their findings to the EDC at the May work session.
