• <br /> of businesses and developing an economic development plan and marketing program. Bennett <br /> noted that Mounds View has completed most of the process to become a star city with the <br /> exception of updating the Economic Development Plan and developing a promotional video. <br /> Bennett reported that the City has funds set aside for the promotional video. Chairman Seipp <br /> suggested that we work on a resolution to pursue the star city process and directed staff to <br /> gather more information on the process. Coordinator Bennett suggested we invite a <br /> representative from DIED to discuss the requirements for the program at the next meeting. <br /> Chairman Seipp asked to have a list of those cities that are already star cities. <br /> C. Update on Highway 10 Corridor Redevelopment <br /> Coordinator Bennett reported that Administrative Aide Lynnette Morgan was working on a <br /> report as part of her internship regarding the importance of redevelopment to a City. <br /> Coordinator Bennett presented an outline of the report for EDC's comment. Coordinator <br /> Bennett explained that a draft report will be presented to the EDC in October followed by a <br /> presentation to the EDA in November. If all goes as planned public forums to gain consensus <br /> for the program will begin in January. Commissioner Welsch asked what was the format of the <br /> public forums and suggested we review the format used by the entities that have been <br /> designed to discuss the future of the arsenal project. In addition, Commissioner Welsch offered <br /> to contact the U of M regarding assistance with the program. Chairman Seipp suggested we <br /> mail an invitation to the public in the next newsletter regarding public participation. <br /> Coordinator Bennett said that the City put a special attachment in the newsletter when they <br /> were looking for participants in the Focus 2000 Process which proved to be very effective. <br /> D. Consideration of Establishing a Loan Committee <br /> Coordinator Bennett reported that, at the recommendation of Mark Malone, that the EDC <br /> should consider establishing a loan committee made up of at least four commission members. <br /> • The committee could be referred to within a weeks notice to discuss a loan application and <br /> make a recommendation to the EDA for approval/denial. This will allow requests to be <br /> reviewed in an expedient manner. <br /> Motion/Second: Welsch/Goff moved approval of Resolution to Establish a Loan <br /> Committee <br /> Motion Carried 4 ayes 0 nays <br /> D. Consideration of Business Improvement Loan for Mister Donut <br /> Coordinator Bennett presented information for consideration of a loan for Forcia, Inc. owners <br /> of Mister Donut in Mounds View. Coordinator Bennett reported that the business will be <br /> completely improved both on the interior and exterior and the product line will be expanded to <br /> include bagels, soup, sandwiches, cakes and ice cream. Bennett noted that Western Bank has <br /> reviewed the financial statements and feels that the City's participation is the only way this loan <br /> would be approved. The financial reports show a turn toward positive growth and that <br /> Western still needs to finalize approvals that current loans are current and there were no <br /> defaulted payments. Coordinator Bennett reported that the project conforms with the goals of <br /> the program to the fullest. Alternate Liaison Quick reported that even if there was a default on <br /> the loan that the property would be improved and more marketable than it is now. Several <br /> members reviewed the information and after all questions were satisfactory answered <br /> Commissioner Goff made a motion for approval. <br /> • <br /> 2 <br />
