<br />Item #: 6A <br />Meeting Date: May 20, 2011 <br />Type of Business: EDC <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Economic Development Commission <br />From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist <br />Item Title/Subject: Discuss Ideas for Usage of Bi-Annual Donations from <br />Bethlehem Baptist Church <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />In 2004, the City Council approved an amendment to the “Building N” Planned Unit <br />Development located in Mounds View Business Park North. The amendment added <br />religious institutions as a permitted use of the property. Therefore, Bethlehem Baptist <br />Church was able to move into “Building N”. Since religious institutions are tax-exempt, the <br />church offered to provide bi-annual donations of about $2,500 to the EDA until the year <br />2014. The church requested that the EDA expend the funds towards economic <br />development activities within Mounds View. <br /> <br />Discussion/Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the EDC discuss ideas for using the remaining donations. City <br />staff would then forward the EDC’s ideas to the EDA. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />____________________________ <br />Heidi Steinmetz <br />Economic Development Specialist
