Informational Item �A rO6rpjt,Partners' City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Economic Development Commission From: Aaron Parrish, Economic Development Coordinator Item Title/Subject: Participation in the Minneapolis Metro North Convention and Visitors Bureau Date of Report: February 8, 2001 Background Back in September, the City was contacted by the new owner of the Mounds View Inn (now Days Inn) about the possibility of participating in the Minneapolis Metro North Convention and Visitors Bureau hereinafter referred to as the "CVB." The CVB is a tourism organization "whose mission is to promote economic growth for its members as a preferred destination for events, meetings, and tourism." Currently, member cities include Anoka, Blaine, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Maple Grove, and Shoreview. Jon Connelly, Executive Director of the CVB has articulated the benefits of 1111) membership in the following manner: BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP Our share of the Twin Cities Traveler. This results in revenue for tourism related businesses in your City and increased visitor spending in your City to further economic development. The bottom line benefit is always generating new tourism related business and increasing development. TANGIBLE BENEFITS • Direct referrals for tourism inquiries for our area • Leads distributed to your properties for group business • Affiliation with the National Sports Center on sporting events taking place there and in other areas • Advertising in state and regional publications • Printed visitors guides distributed through the Minnesota Office of Tourism and other tourism related outlets • Promotion of public venues within member cities • Marketing of local festival • Partnership with local chamber of commerce 0 • Overall sales and marketing activities which include: shows,direct mail, print ads, sales calls, telemarketing, and web site marketing City of Mounds View Staff Report March 1, 2001 Page 2 • INTANGIBLE • Partnership with 8 other cities in the North Metro area • Public relations with local and statewide media • Affiliation with dozens of industry associations and other Bureaus to promote the Twin Cities Like most Convention and Visitor Bureaus, the CVB is funded by a 3% local lodging tax. The 3% local lodging tax is levied on hotels/motels by a municipality on gross room receipts. State Statute requires that 95% of the funds be utilized "to fund a local convention or tourism bureau for the purpose of marketing and promoting the city or town as a tourist or convention center." Five percent of the funds are retained by the municipality for administrative purposes. Additionally, $2,000 is made available on an annual basis to a local community festival, and to the local chamber of commerce. Last week, Jon Connelly, Dan Hall, and Al Hamel (Days Inn), and I had the opportunity to discuss potential membership in the organization. Subsequently, both Dan Hall and Al Hamel indicated a desire for the City to solidify their relationship with the MMCVB.

As the community becomes fully developed the need for redevelopment becomes more apparent. Accordingly, staff is seeking the Commission's perspective on two issues. First, What are the redevelopment priorities within Mounds View? Second, What tools should the EDA utilize to effectuate redevelopment? What are the redevelopment priorities in Mounds View? • While a myriad of opportunities exist for redevelopment, six are currently being presented for the Commission's consideration and prioritization. The redevelopment opportunities currently presented for your consideration include: Redevelopment Opportunity#1: Herbst and Pettibone Redevelopment Opportunity#2: Everest County Highway 10 Properties Redevelopment Opportunity#3: Network Liquors Redevelopment Opportunity#4: Skyline Motel Redevelopment Opportunity#5: Groveland and County Highway 10 Redevelopment Opportunity#6: Silver Lake Road and County Highway 10 From staff's perspective, the above represent potential projects that are both financially feasible and pressing community concerns. A profile of each of the above has been attached for your reference. In addition, it must be noted that the aforementioned redevelopment opportunities are conceptual at this point. Additional deliberation and circumstance will be considered as potential projects are further refined. Finally, since we are at the conceptual stage at this point, any suggested modifications to the above, or additional projects to consider are greatly appreciated. What Tools Should the EDA Use to Effectuate Redevelopment? 1110 In the past, Mounds View has been moderately active in the area of redevelopment. However, as the City continues to age, it will be necessary to become more aggressive in order to maintain and enhance current community character. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider using tools that the City has not traditionally utilized. These tools 40 primarily relate to land acquisition and project finance. Land Acquisition In some instances, particularly when there is an unwilling and/or unreasonable seller, it may be necessary to use the City's power of eminent domain to acquire property. Eminent domain essentially allows a unit of government to acquire property for a specified public purpose such as redevelopment, infrastructure improvements and so forth. In addition to the price of the property, the property owner is compensated with relocation benefits. The use, or potential use of eminent domain, is vital to accomplishing redevelopment objectives. Based on discussions with other cities, eminent domain is not commonly used for most property acquisitions. Rather, it is only used when the municipality and property cannot come to mutually agreeable terms based on independent appraisals. Of course, this is a tool that must be used judiciously, on a case-by-case basis, and only when absolutely necessary. Project Finance Based on our existing TIF districts, redevelopment can primarily be funded in two ways. First, pooled funds can be utilized. As the Commission is aware, pooled funds are available after all other obligations are satisfied. Currently, our pooled funds are limited, 0 but should become more abundant once bond obligations are satisfied in 2003. Second, the EDA could issue a bond to finance the costs of land assembly. When issuing a bond for land assembly, as is the case on most redevelopment projects, the bond would be repaid through increased property taxes associated with the project,the proceeds of the land sale, and pooled increment as necessary. While the City has issued bonds in the past, it has not recently done so. Necessary Actions 1. Evaluate and Prioritize Proposed Redevelopment Opportunities. Complete Redevelopment Priority Checklist. 2. Consider and/or Recommend Use of Eminent Domain and Bond Issuance. aile.--z.gret_.
