Draft EDC Minutes <br />Nov. 18, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />Backman and that the EDA approved it as an “internal” document. Chair Johnson said that <br />the document should be used externally, however it needs to be updated. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson suggested removing the details of the Chamber events, so that the <br />document doesn’t need to be updated as often. <br /> <br />Commissioner Helgemoe added that the SBA section needs updating, including the fact that <br />SPEDCO’s office location has changed. <br /> <br />Motion/Second: Vice Chair Wagner-Harkonen moved and Commissioner Meehlhause <br />seconded a recommendation to the EDA that the Mounds View Business Toolbox be placed <br />on the City’s Website after the document is updated. <br /> <br />Motion Carried: 6 Ayes, 0 Nays <br /> <br />B. Review December 2006 Premium Stop Redevelopment Area Study <br />Ms. Steinmetz reminded the EDC that this study was prompted by the EDA’s purchase of <br />the former Premium Stop gas station site located on County Road 10 near Robert’s Sports <br />Bar. The study was completed by DSU/Bonestroo for the area surrounding the site. <br /> <br />Ms. Steinmetz said that the EDC should discuss the City’s past efforts in redevelopment <br />planning. She added that although this particular study is outdated, it is a document that the <br />City can refer back to, especially since it includes several redevelopment concepts. <br /> <br />City Administrator Jim Ericson reminded the EDC that the pending Coventry Senior Living <br />project is located in this particular redevelopment area. It could be the project that spurs <br />surrounding redevelopment. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause said that since a high-density senior housing complex was not <br />included in the DSU/Bonnestroo redevelopment concepts, it is important to start thinking <br />about the types of services needed by Coventry Senior Living’s future residents. <br /> <br />He also said that as TIF Districts 3, 4 and 5 expire, the City should discuss how the <br />available funds can be used for redevelopment purposes, rather than turning the funds back <br />over to the County. Chair Johnson added that the EDC should discuss this topic at the <br />January EDC meeting. <br /> <br />Discuss Status of 2011 EDC Priorities <br />The EDC reviewed the status of their 2011 priorities. Chair Johnson suggested that the <br />EDC begin reviewing their priorities biannually. <br /> <br />7.
