COLONIAL CRAFT—DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES The renovation of Building I in preparation for Colonial Craft continues to move forward. During October and November KVA Engineering installed the central dust collector system on the south side of the building. The system looks good. Northco continues to oversee leasehold improvements inside the building. Its goal is to be completed by the end of November. On November 12th I met with the Company's Controller and HR Manager, and toured the production facility in Roseville. They are busy packing office items. Staff is looking forward to the move to Mounds View! They have pictures of the new facility(exterior& interior)posted in the employee lunchroom. I gave them 200 Chamber maps for their employees which they are happily distributing. 2. HWY 10 BUSINESS CENTER (ABBEY CARPET) PROJECT The appraisal of the former Perkins property was completed mid-October. As expected, soil testing did not show any problems with the site. Bank closing was delayed two weeks due to Cub Foods settlement with Illbbey Carpet taking longer. Rob Carlson, the developer submitted three demolition bids to me on October 30th ohn Kopas and Cub Foods signed their settlement (to pay Abbey Carpet) on November 4th. This enabled financial closing on the land to occur on November 6th. A second bank closing(pertaining to the building mortgage) occurred on November 18th. The City approved the demolition permit last week and Triple N Construction began demolition of the Perkins building yesterday. It should take about one week to clear the site in preparation for construction. 3. SYSCO MINNESOTA PROJECT UPDATE SYSCO Minnesota, the City's largest employer, is moving ahead with its two building additions this fall. Following the City Council's approval on October 14th of the Development Review, and then Rice Creek Watershed's approbation, the Company moved forward with building construction this month. SYSCO is adding an 18,300 sq. ft. freezer addition and an 18,000 sq. ft. dry storage area. The footings have been completed and the steel beams are going up for the freezer. The dry storage area, on the northwest corner, is farther along with concrete panels in place and roof work beginning. 4. JAKE'S SPORTS CAFÉ—PARKING LOT ADDITION Since the City Council's approval of the Development Agreement for Jake's Sports Café on September 23rd, the parking lot project has been significantly completed. According to Greg Lee, the City's Public Works Director, the contractors for Jake's and for County Rd. H2 coordinated closely their site preparation, grading, curbing, and Waving activities. Striping of the parking lot has been completed and lights installed. Installation of a perimeter ence and the planting of vegetation/trees remain to be done. \\Ntserver\CityHall\DATA\GROUPS\ECONDEV\EDC\EDC Activity Report\1 1-20-02.doc Not Approved • Minutes of the Economic Development Commission City of Mounds View Ramsey County, Minnesota Regular Meeting November 20, 2002 City of Mounds View, Council Chambers 2401 Highway 10, Mounds View, MN 55112 1.

The major focus of the members was action items related to transportation. Letters will be sent to the new gubernatorial administration (Pawlenty). A legislative forum will be held focusing on north Metro transportation needs in January 2003. D. Report of Staff: 1. Activity Report: Backman distributed report to the members. 2. I-35W Corridor Coalition Workplace Destination Maps: Earlier this year Backman had listened to a presentation that John Carpenter, President of Excensus,had made. Excensus has undertaken various housing and demographic analyses for the I-35W Coalition. As part of the Labor Force Assessment using 2001 data, he had put together seven maps highlighting workplace concentrations by city of origin on one page. The maps were too small to see details, so last month Backman requested a larger map for each member city. Each city in the Coalition has its own specific characteristics: Mounds View: Citizens tend to work close to home (especially near the Mounds View Business Park and Mounds View Square areas), or downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul. It was noteworthy that Mounds View has relatively few residents that are employed in Roseville and to the north, and is one of three cities with a significant cluster at the Wells Fargo campus (south of Downtown Mpls.). Arden Hills' heaviest clusters were outside of the city. Curiously not a lot of Arden Hills residents worked in Roseville. It had clusters along Lexington and downtown Mpls/St. Paul. Blaine residents seem to work all over the west Metro area (north of 394/94). Its heaviest concentrations occurred along I35W, Hwy 10,and Lexington. Circle Pines was the only city • with no cluster within its own boundaries. New Brighton has some residents that work to the north,though its heaviest clusters are in the southeast part of NB,western Roseville,and the major Downtowns. Most of Roseville's residents appear to work south of 694, with heavy concentrations throughout Roseville, and downtown Mpls/St. Paul. It was the City with the greatest clusters at the two campuses of the University of MN. Finally,Shoreview's residents work in the south half of the city,western Roseville and Mpls./St. Paul downtowns. Overall, I would draw several conclusions regarding these maps: 1) Most residents in the I35W Coalition work in jobs to the south of where they live. 2)Most residents in the Coalition work north of Interstates 394 & 94 and do not work near Interstate 35E. 3) Most residents in the Coalition use 35W, 694, Hwy 36 & 10 to get to work. 3. Moving Minnesota in the Metro: Backman distributed this report that was presented at the TCN Public Policy Committee meeting. He reviewed it with members and also distributed an Anoka County transportation report that was briefly discussed. 4. Minnesota Real Estate Journal Interview: In mid-October Backman was interviewed by Liz Wolf from Minnesota Real Estate Journal regarding Colonial Craft. This article came out during the last week of October. Since that time she came back and wanted to do another article regarding development in Mounds View. This second interview, done on November 6th, focused on the Hwy 10 Business Center; the National Handicap Housing Institute's 20 unit facility currently under construction;and the Mermaid expansion. We'll see what it looks like when it comes out at the end of November. 5. DTED Development Conference: On November 7 & 8th Backman attended the 7th Annual 1111 Development Conference put on by DTED. It was well attended by ED professionals. Some of the sessions Backman attended were: Demographic Trends&Market Studies; Business Retention; Housing; and TIF/Tax Abatement Tools • EDC Minutes p November 20, 2002 Not of AppProv d Page 3 • 6.

Last Friday, November 15th,they signed the lease for the space, and this week the contractor submitted plans to the City. Damont is the general contractor. Their goal is to be operational in Mounds View by February 15, 2003. C. United Properties—Printing Prospect: Rob Kost from United Properties continues to interact with the printing company from Roseville. The prospect remains interested in relocating to M.V. Backman could not confirm if an offer has been made on the property behind Walgreen's. He did have a different property owner along Hwy 10 call Mr. Kost and discuss a different location. (The owner prefers to own his building.) D. Welsh Companies—Amoco Site Prospect: During the first of week of November Backman was informed by Tony Strauss,the broker representing the old Amoco site,that there was a potential • buyer for the property. Mr. Strauss indicated that a developer representing a client that is a national retailer is considering Mounds View and would need approx. 10,000 to 12,000 sq.ft. of space. The broker asked if the Silverview Terrace garages could be moved and we indicated that the owner was amenable to that. Backman forwarded information that had been assembled for the Triple A application to Strauss,who forwarded it on to the developer/client last week. On Monday(11/18)of this week Backman talked with Strauss again. He indicated the info was well- received. The developer mentioned that they may look at redeveloping the Amoco site or the whole area fronting County Highway 10. E. Colliers Towle—Prospective Laport Meadows Residential Development: Since September Jim Ericson has been interacting with Duane Poppe from Colliers Towle regarding a residential development that would occur within the Laport Meadows area. Several preliminary site plans have been provided to the City regarding the proposed development,which may be set up as a PUD.

Community Resource Guide—NovoPrint USA: One of the projects that the TCN Chamber started last year (but held up due to the merger) was a Quality of Life marketing piece or Resource Guide. It will be printed by NovoPrint and will encompass all five member communities of the new Chamber.

Mounds View has committed to $600 and will receive 200 copies of the Guide. Our cost will be split with the YMCA and Elegant Thymes, the Community Center caterer. 6.

The buyout does not threaten the M.V.facility and could lead to more local jobs than the initial 65 employees. 6. EDC BUSINESS A. Community Center& Mermaid Collaboration Discussion: At the previous meeting Backman was asked to look into facilitating greater cooperation and coordination between the Mounds View Community Center and the Mermaid Event Center. Backman discussed this matter with Dabney Bradley, Community Center caterer, Shannon Roepke, YMCA, and with Cindy Winegarner, Director of Sales for the Mermaid. All three were open to additional collaboration efforts. Ms. Winegarner suggested having a meeting about this in September. The intent of initial meeting would be to discuss current marketing activities, current collaboration, and what could be done. Backman will followup. B. Abbey Carpet—Development Activities: The Mounds View EDA approved on July 22nd up to $25,000 for demolition of the old Perkins. Since that time several developments have occurred. Mr. Kopas, Abbey Carpet, and Mr. Carlson, Rob Carlson Builders, have been working with Lampert Architects, a Ham Lake architectural firm, on the building site plans for a 22,000 sq. ft. commercial building. Mr. Kopas and Backman viewed several buildings that Lampert designed. Yesterday,Jim Atkinson and Backman met with Kopas and Carlson to review the initial site map or footprint of the building on the irregular-shaped parcel. Backman showed the current map to the EDC members. Carlson expects to submit more detailed building drawings and plan • application by the end of next week. Their goal is to go before the Planning Commission at the September 4th session and present to the City Council on September 23rd. Barring any changes, demolition would occur shortly thereafter. C. Colonial Craft—Prospect Activities: Colonial Craft is one of the world's largest producers of wooden door and window grills, mouldings, and picture frames, and about a year ago was purchased by Quanex, a large building products company based in Houston, Texas. As was mentioned last month, Colonial Craft is the prospect interested in Building I in the M.V. Business Park. Over the past month the company has been reviewing the proposed lease. On August 12th when Backman talked to John Boich, the RREEF broker interacting with Colonial Craft, he indicated that at this point it looks good, that it's out of Colonial Craft's hands, and that Quanex lawyers are talking to the building owner's lawyers. The terms of the lease (as relayed to me)are attractive. Hopefully in two weeks we will have some indication of the decision. D. Culver's Restaurant—Prospect Activities: Backman worked out a meeting time this week between Wendell Smith, broker for the property owner, and Steve Sparks,the Culver's franchise owner. The hour and a half meeting,which Jim Ericson and Backman attended,was productive. Both sites near the Carmike Theater were considered and discussed. (Backman distributed to the members a copy of a map showing Outparcels A& B. Anthony Properties has readjusted its pricing on the properties from $10 to $8 per sq. ft. The more attractive pricing has increased Sparks interest. At the June meeting it appeared that just the Long Lake Road site would be considered. At this week's meeting, both parcels were looked at. Sparks and his partner continue to interact with St. Anthony on adding a restaurant there, however, the process there has not been smooth. Depending on what happens with St.Anthony, Mounds View could be the • third or fourth location for Sparks. Backman inquired if the Commission would want to provide other financial assistance for this project. Johnson stated that given both sites'other advantages (no redevelopment required, 1 1/2 acre of buildable space along Hwy 10, utilities on site, PUD EDC Minutes n F,0Ved August 16, 2002 Page 4 • designation and Rice Creek drainage approval), she was not inclined to do so. The consensus of the members was the same. E. Other: McDonald asked if the City had a marketing brochure or packet of information for businesses. Backman responded that we do have a community profile, however,he would like to develop a business packet to promote business development over the next six to twelve months. Backman informed the members that a Commission Appreciation & Recognition Banquet has been set for Wednesday, October 16, 2002 at 6:00 p.m. in the M.V. Community Center.

"I think it's a fantastic opportunity to use the MEDP model and use it to benefit the entire region." The MEDP's primary mission is to attract and retain businesses in the east metro area by providing free and confidential site-location assistance. It gets about 100 leads per year, Piggott said. During the past decade, it played a role in such deals as the expansion by Bayport-based Andersen Windows in Cottage Grove, new hotels in Eagan and Eden Prairie and a small plant for a manufacturer of Lasik-surgery machines in White Bear Lake, he said. 410 Mark Beattie, the private sector co-chair of MEDP who works in the real estate department at 3M, wrote in a letter to MEDP's board of directors this week that the Minneapolis Regional Chamber has a vision for economic development that aligns closely with MEDP. http://www.acce.org/info/news/articles/8101-metro.asp 11/19/2002 East-metro Group Joins Mpls. Chamber Page 2 of 3 Client confidentiality and a reputation for treating all communities and investors equally would be maintained in a partnership, Beattie said. • For the Minneapolis Regional Chamber, the partnership gives it access to the eastern half of the metro area at a time when it is striving to represent more of the Twin Cities regional business community and become a player in economic development. 4 One goal is to represent the region as a single point of contact for companies interested in relocating or expanding in the area, said Louise Dickmeyer, president and CEO of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce. There's also a need for an aggressive effort to promote the region as a place to do business, she said. Dickmeyer said the only formal relationship formed thus far with the MEDP is a short- term lease for the office space. The two groups are discussing the structure of an economic development entity that would launch in 2003, but they don't plan on creating another free-standing organization that would require separate or additional resources, Dickmeyer said. "We studied some great models in other cities in the U.S. and will mirror some of these more effective models." Minneapolis has a strong brand name and the chamber gets a lot of leads for economic development through its Web site, Dickmeyer said. "We want to be able to leverage that." Larry Dowell, president of the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, said his organization this summer decided to launch its own economic development program • focused on the east metro after trying unsuccessfully to reach a deal with MEDP. There's possibly a need for a regional program or effort, Dowell said, but there are different philosophies for how that should be done. The St. Paul Area Chamber's approach is to integrate its economic- and workforce- development programs, and it now has about four people from its 25-person staff doing that, he said. Economic development is about job creation and bringing in new investment and encouraging retention, Dowell said, but it also is about developing a pool of good workers for businesses when unemployment levels drop again. Dowell said he's not at all discouraged by MEDP's decision to leave St. Paul. "They are independent and should make those choices, we just choose a different direction," he said. Greg Miller, president of Eagan-based development company Interstate Partners and a former board member of MEDP, doubts a seven-county regional economic development agency could be effective without a large staff. * Miller, who said he stopped participating in MEDP because it wasn't generating new leads, said the relocation services provided by MEDP duplicate work provided by commercial real estate brokers. The difference is that brokers are more motivated and have better information, • especially on a regional level, Miller said. Brokers also give their opinions, which is something MEDP doesn't do, he said. sblack@bizjournals.com I (612) 288-2103 http://www.acce.org/info/news/artieles/8101-metro.asp 11/19/2002 EDAM - Email Page 1 of 1 Backman, Aaron • From: edamamo@arcstone.com Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 10:34 AM To: aaronb@ci.mounds-view.mn.us Subject: New Position This email was generated from the EDAM AMOS messaging system and does not necessarily represent EVA official EDAM communications.

This month, MEDP has entered into an alliance partnership with the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Alliance was created to pursue a regional collaborative model for • economic development that would seek to marshal the combined resources of all relevant organizations, communities and businesses under an umbrella of a shared economic development vision. Our goal is to create a regional organization able to compete more effectively with other metropolitan centers across the U.S., increase new business leads and client referrals to investor companies and communities, and aggressively promote the region as a place to do business. Initially, MEDP will continue to provide site location assistance,business information services, and economic development marketing services,promoting our investor businesses and communities. Over time, as participation in the Partnership grows, we see an opportunity to expand services and pursue new initiatives that would best impact economic growth for the metro-wide region. Over the next few weeks, I will be calling you to arrange a time to meet to get your input regarding the alliance and to answer any questions you may have regarding our plans and strategies for the future. We realize that we are pursuing ambitious goals, however more and more area businesses, communities and organizations are telling us that the time is right to combine our resources region-wide to create a stronger,more effective economic development partnership. We believe that with your continued support of regional economic development, we are on track to make this initiative a success. • 332 Minnesota Street Suite N-205 Saint Paul,MN 55101 651/224-EAST Fax:651/223-5484 Web Site:www.medp.org Please feel free to contact me at any time at (612) 370-9174 with any questions or concerns you may have.
