PUBLIC HEARINGS:
There were no public hearings scheduled for this meeting.
EDA BUSINESS:
A. Consideration of Resolution No. 95-EDA21 Supportinq
Application for the State of Minnesota Economic Recovery Gran�
to Provide a Loan to Dynex Industries for Expansion of Local
Headquarte�s Facilitv
Cathy Benne�tt, Economic Development Coordinator, repor�ed that
Dynex Industries has been a local business since 1981. They
approached the City a few months ago with regards to expansion
of their current headquarters facility located at Mustang
Circle. Dynex Industries is an environmental and electrical
service company and recently began manufacturing a unique
machine that recycles fluorescent lamps.
A typical development agreement would not be feasible because
Dynex is not located in a current Tax Increment District. The
Economic Development Commission is in support of taking
necessary measures to assist in the retention of Dynex and has
passed Resolution No. 95-EDC3 in support of an application for
an Economic Recovery Grant from the Minnesota Department of
Trade and Economic Development. These grant funds are very
limited so it's imperative that a broad spectrum of support is
received.
MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Blanchard to Approve Resolution No.
95-EDA21 Supporting Application for the State of Minnesota
Economic Recovery Grant to Provide a Loan to Dynex Industries
for Expansion of Local Headquarters Facility
Secretary Trude explained that this company employs
approximately 45 people in Mounds View and they hope to grow
by, perhaps, 25 jobs with this expansion.
Commissioner Hankner noted that the business of recycling
fluorescent lamps will grow in the near future because the
legislature has prohibited the disposal of fluorescenL- lamps
in landfillse

Businesses as Recommended bv the Economic Development
Commission
Cathy Bennett related that Mark Malone, a member of the
Economic Development Commission, gave an overview of the Small
Business Loan Program for Mounds View businesses at the Work
Session on February 6. This recommendation was made as the
result of reviewing current incentive programs available ta
local businesses and evaluating loan programs implemented in
other metro cities.
This program fulfills one of the action steps of the Focus
2000 Implementation Plan for economic development. The basic
parameters of the proposed program include the goals,
eligibility requirements, qualifying improvements, and the
terms of the loan. This would be a matching loan that the
City would provide with a participating bank.
This Resolution would allow the Economic Development
Commission to pursue �he legal and financial structuring of
the program. Once �hose documents have been prepared, the
program will be brought back to the EDA for final approval.
