Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMLARY: As some of you may know Charlie Hall, owner of the Mermaid, contracted with a consulting firm for a market demand/feasibility study regarding the highest and best use of his property for a hotel/conference center. I worked closely with the company providing information regarding the area and have reviewed the findings of the study which is very thorough. Mr. Hall would like to come and talk to the Council regarding support for his project and give a presentation regarding the finding of the market demand/feasibility study. For a project of this size to be a reality it is imperative to have community support. ilk I would suggest a resolution noting that a hotel/conference facility would be an economic enhancement to the community and would provide jobs and increase to the tax base for the City. Mr. Hall would also like to know if the Council would consider the use of TIF for the project. Attached is the summary report from the study for your review prior to Mr. Hall's presentation. • Cathy Bennett, tconomic Development Coordinator 0 RECOMMENDATION; 1 . NATURE OF THE ASSIGNMENT ill . _ Charlie Hall, principal of Mounds Vista Inc, owner of The Mermaid Supper Club, engaged JLC Marketing Associates to produce a Market Analysis & Economic Feasibility Study for a proposed new hotel development in conjunction with an existing restaurant, sports bar, nightclub and bowling lanes in Mounds View, a northern suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Hall has investigated the possibility of acquiring adjacent land parcels to accommodate the hotel and additional parking. He has commissioned Construction Design & Estimating to do preliminary site planning, and he has received certain approvals and encouragement from the City of Mounds View regarding tax increment financing. Now, Charlie Hall wants to know what area demand exists for additional hotel rooms in the Mounds View market. How many rooms, if any, should be built? What type of hotel and facilities should be constructed? What types of customers would use the hotel? What are the consumer needs and expectations regarding the facilities, services, price and quality of the proposed hotel? What franchise brand might be needed? Who would manage the hotel? What revenues could be generated? And with competent management and • effective marketing, what would be the expenses and cash flow that could be generated to support the debt service for such a hotel project? In other words, is the project economically feasibility? And to what extent can Charlie Hall increase the value of his current asset by adding a hotel? Much of the success of the proposed hotel is incorporated in the nature of the consumer demand for more lodging and meeting facilities in the Mounds View area. To further quantify the hotel room night demand and meeting space demand with a higher degree of accuracy, JLC Marketing Associates established a methgdology to interview the major demand generators and the competitive hotel owner/managers in the market area. As a result, we obtained a large amount of reliable information and evidence to support our conclusions, recommendations and financial projections. This is an independent report of factual data. Although commissioned by Mr. Hall, any prospective investors or lenders, who read this report, may rely on its objectivity. Our recommendations and forecasts in this report are based upon our best judgment and experience as professional independent hospitality consultants.

The proposed development calls for the construction of a hotel and meeting facilities in conjunction with an existing restaurant, sports bar, nightclub and bowling lanes 0 During our field work and the preparation of this report, we realized that you, the developer, have had discussions with architects, franchise development professionals and a contractor --- all suggesting a product concept, customer focus and price-value level that may or may not be substantiated by the demand and economic feasibility factors we uncovered. We interviewed area demand generators and quantified the demand for lodging in your market area. As a result, we encourage you to let customer demand and expectations drive the design of your hotel product. This market analysis and economic feasibility study represents our best judgment and professional opinion based on a thorough review of the lodging supply and demand in the Mounds View area. Our report may be regarded as objective and independent by any prospective investors and lenders who read this report. Here is an executive summary of findings and conclusions: • Forecast of Future Performance. It is our professional opinion and best judgment that the Mounds View Hotel, if opened in 1997, could achieve a first year occupancy of 63.8% at $54.00, producing room revenues of $1,696,626. We forecast total revenues at $5.2 million with a 17.1% GOP of$904,125 and cash available for debt at 11.7% or $616,648. The second year we forecast total revenues at $5.7 million and cash available for debt at 12.9% or $735,533 and the third year total revenues at $6.0 million and cash available for debt at 13.6% or $822,259. III Jeff Coy is Certified by the International Society of Hospitality Consultants • • Mounds View & General Market Trends. Market trends regarding population, income, employment, traffic volumes, recreational attractions, economic growth and especially Mounds View community support for a first class hotel meeting facility all provide a positive environment for the development of a new hotel in Mounds View. • Site & Surrounding Area. We have studied the site and surrounding areas in terms of existing buildings, land use, appraised value, zoning, licenses & permits, access & visibility, traffic patterns, and proximity to lodging demand generators. Three points: (1) We recommend the that the efforts to acquire 2190 Highway 10, the Rent All site, be documented and reviewed with the City of Mounds View and assistance in acquiring this site be requested; (2) We recommend that the feasibility of successfully acquiring 2295 & 2297 County Road H be discovered before any further steps are taken with the hotel development as the land cost will directly effect the final decision to proceed; (3) We suggest that steps be taken with the City of Mounds View to have the overhead utilities buried along the site. • Review of Previous Studies. We have reviewed the Hotel Development Survey conducted by the City of Mounds View and the cost estimate prepared by Gilbert Construction. Our recommendation is stop and start over. The survey did not adequately measure lodging demand and the Gilbert cost estimates were based on an incomplete hotel design that did not reflect customer demand. 0 • Architectural Review. We are aware that you had engaged Construction Design & Construction toprovide you with plans and costs prior to this Market Estimating and Gilbert Study. Based on our discoveries, we also provided you with rough alternative plans and costs from hotel architects Schwenn & Associates. We would advise the chosen architect to seriously consider the recommendations in this report when programming the utilization of space for this proposed hotel. • Lodging Supply Analysis. Regarding the competitive hotel supply, we have several conclusions: (1) There is demand for lodging concentrated in your backyard that can be captured by the proposed hotel; currently, that demand is being captured in in diluted 1 amounts by the primary competitors; (2) The new Comfort Inn Coon Rapids will cause a decline in occupancy at the Country Inn & Suites; it will also impact the Kelly Inn and shift demand out of Brooklyn Park; (3) The new Northtown Mall hotel will cause the largest decline in occupancy at the Comfort Inn Coon Rapids, The Country Inn & Suites and the Kelly Inn and further room nights will shift away from Brooklyn Park; (4) The 62-room addition at the Best Western Maplewood Mall will directly impact the Country Inn White Bear Lake and may cause slight impact as far west as Shoreview & Arden Hills; the occupancy will decline at the BW as the new demand created by the Maplewood Mall will not be enough for the hotel to maintain its current occupancy; (5) The proposed Mounds View hotel should be positioned in the mid-market tier with an average room rate range of $54 --- near the average room rate of the Ramada Roseville. • Lodging Demand Analysis. Regarding customer-segmented lodging demand, we have • several conclusions about the proposed Mounds View Hotel's ability to capture room nights: (1) The Group Meetings segment will produce 3,650 room nights; (2) The Group Leisure segment will produce 5,290 room nights; (3) The Individual Business segment will produce 12,460 room nights and (4) The Individual Leisure segment will produce 13,600 room nights. The proposed Mounds View hotel will achieve these segmented roomnight contributions in the third stabilized year of operation. First year forecast is conservatively forecasted on achieving fair share of demand as follows: (1) Group Meetings 3115 room nights; (2) Group Leisure 4,673 room nights; (3) Individual Business 11,215 room nights and Individual Leisure 12,149 room nights, producing a first year occupancy of 63.8%. • Customer Mix. Based on our analysis, we recommend that the proposed Mounds View Hotel strive to achieve a customer mix of 10% group meetings 15% group leisure 36% individual business 39% individual leisure • Hotel Supply & Demand Trends. Primary & secondary competitors for the proposed Mounds View Hotel consists of 19 hotels with 2570 rooms located in Arden Hills, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Roseville, Maplewood, Brooklyn Park, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, 41) Minneapolis, and Mounds View. YTD 1995, these 19 hotels achieved a 69.4% occupancy and a $55.76 average room rate. Of these 19 hotels, 11 hotels with 1806 rooms are primary competitors. YTD 1995, these 11 primary competitors achieved a 65.5% occupancy and a $63.34. No new hotel rooms have been added to the primary lodging supply since 1992 while the primary lodging demand decreased 2.4% in 1995. Primary and secondary competitors increased room revenues 10.2% in 1995 while primary competitors increased revenues 4.2%. In the Mounds View market area, hotel supply growth and demand growth have been running evenly since 1992. Supply growth in 95 vs 94 was 4.0% and demand growth was 3.8%. Several hotels in the Mounds View market area are under development for 1996. _ • Recommended Product & Facilities. We conducted interviews with the major demand generators and the competitor hotels to verify the demand for a full service hotel with meeting/banquet facilities in Mounds View. As a result of these interviews and other factors, we concluded that: (1) the proposed Mounds View Hotel should be designed with 135 guest rooms with meeting space for 350 people; (2) the hotel should have a perceived value equal to the two Holiday Inns in the market area; (3) published room rates should be from $45 to $75 with a first year ADR of $54; (3) the hotel should incorporate a majority of our product recommendations demanded by the market. • Recommended Franchise Selection. Quality Inn & Suites is our recommended first 0choice for the proposed hotel. Other choices in order of preference are: Howard Johnsons, Ramada Inn & Suites, Radisson Inn & Suites, and Four Points Hotel, a new brand from Sheraton. • Recommended Management. Based on Charlie Hall's objective of finding a buyer/developer of an enhanced hotel-restaurant-sports bar-nightclub-bowling complex, we recommend that he first restructure the owner/developer entity for the project. Depending upon the expertise in the new ownership entity, the owners should then consider whether to self-manage, hire an experienced hotel general manager over the entire facility or hire a professional hotel management company. It is quite possible that a new owner-developer partner could also be experienced in hotel management. Lastly, we would advise you that any lender will expect the new hotel project to be professionally managed either by the owners or a third party. • Investor& Loan Packaging. Regarding the architectural selection, preliminary plans, renderings, construction & FFE costs, equity, debt and restructuring the ownership, we recommend that Mounds Vista Inc work with a professional outside firm as its "Owners Representative" to assist in the selections and negotiations during the development, construction, pre-opening and on-going management phases. • Financial Projections. Based on the occupancy and room rate growth and other factors III such as the recommended product design, competition, franchise affiliation, competent management and effective marketing, we project the hotel's room revenues to grow as follows: Occupancy Average Rate Room Revenue Year 1 63.8% $54.00 $1,696,626 Year 2 68.0% $56.75 $1,901,125 Year 3 71.0% $59.00 $2,065,000 In the stabilized third year, we project the hotel's room rate structure by customer segment to look like this: Customer Segment Mix % Occupied Average Room Room Nights Rate Revenues Group Meetings 10 3650 $53.53 $ 195,384 Group Leisure 15 5290 $51.35 $ 271,662 Individual Business 36 12460 $57.90 $ 721,434 Individual Leisure 39 13600 $64.45 $ 876,520 Total 100 35000 $59.00 $2,065,000 We have provided detailed revenue projections along with expense ratios and cash flows 4110 available for debt service in Section 9 of our report. Our financial projections for the proposed hotel assume that product recommendations will be implemented, affiliation with a national franchise, competent management and effective marketing.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; I have prepared four draft resolutions for your consideration regarding the Reappointment\Appointment of EDA Officers and EDC Members. 38 The EDA Officers are required to be reappointed on an annual basis. I prepared the resolution for the positions to remain the same as 1995 but they may be changed if you wish. In addition, there are vacancies on the EDA since the departure of Samantha Orduno and Don Brager. It is suggested III to fill those vacancies with the Economic Development Coordinator and Interim Finance Director. In addition, the Clerk is the official recording officer of the Authority according to the Bylaws. Therefore, Tamara Saefke who takes the minutes should be appointed to fill Michele Severson's Clerk position. 39 Three terms expired on the EDC this year and only one, Dan Nelson, is interested in being reappointed. Both Peg Mountin and Phil Seipp have resigned due to time constraints. 40 There is one vacancy for a resident and one vacancy for a business representative on the EDC. The application deadline for new EDC members was January 31, 1996. I received one resident application from Bev Terhark who is a Realtor. Her application is attached for your review. In addition, I have contacted two business representatives to sit on the EDC. They are both considering it and I will have their answer and application delivered to you at the work session. 41 At the first meeting of the EDC the members appoint a chairperson. Last year the Chairperson was a business representative therefore this year it should be a resident. The EDC appointed by an unanimous vote Dan Nelson and Chair and Cindy Carlson of Western Bank as Vice Chair. The Chairperson must be approved by the EDA per resolution according to the Municipal Code. These items are brought before you for your convenience on February 5th since it was required to call the ii•EDA to order regarding the approval of refinancing the bonds. If you so desire they can be delayed to the next scheduled EDA meeting on February 12th. .,,, ,, , CzU-Ai_d ,Z--e>,L,71-e RECOMMENDATION; Cathy Vennett, Economic Development Coordinator RESOLUTION NO. 96-EDA38 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW • COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OFFICERS WHEREAS, Article III, Section 3.1 of the Economic Development Authority Bylaws requires that the President, Vice-President and Secretary be elected annually at the first meeting of the year; and WHEREAS, President, Vice-President and Secretary appointment shall be duly elected members of the Mounds View City Council; and WHEREAS, Article III, Section 3.2 of the Economic Development Authority Bylaws requires that vacancies of the office of Treasurer, Executive Director/Assistant Treasurer and Clerk shall be appointed by the Economic Development Authority Board; and WHEREAS, Treasurer, Executive Director/Assistant Treasurer and Clerk need not be held by duly elected members of the Mounds View City Council; and WHEREAS, the office of the Treasurer, Executive Director/Assistant110 Treasurer and Clerk are vacant and successors need to be elected by the Board.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; At the suggestion of the Marketing Task Force, the Mounds View Editorial Board reviewed the benefits of offering advertising in Mounds View's publications. On a number of occasions editor Sharie Linke has been approached by Mounds View businesses to advertise in Mounds View Matters community newsletter. After careful review, the editorial board has drafted an advertising policy for all publications and developed rates for both Mounds View Matters and the new 0 Mounds View Business Directory for Council's review and comment. The advertising policy prohibits the placement of advertisements relating to particular alcohol or tobacco products. It is not intended to prohibit liquor stores and restaurant/bar establishments from advertising but for particular products such as camel cigarettes and/or smirnoff vodka. The rates were established after reviewing local newspaper rates and rates for community publications for other cities such as Plymouth and Oakdale. Sharie Linke and I will be at the work session to discuss the policy with the council. Once a policy is in place we can solicit ads for both the new Mounds View Business Directory and Mounds View Matters. 4:12,-- rt,d1/4.1--- Cathy Bennett, Ecnomic Development Coordinator III RECOMMENDATIONS 1996\97 ADVERTISING RATES FOR CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW MOUNDS VIEW BUSINESS DIRECTORY The following rates are for the newly published Mounds View Business Directory which has a shelf life of two years (1996-97).

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) RUMMARY; Effective Golf Course Systems principals will be presenting an overall operations evaluation of The Bridges golf course and will also provide recommendations for operations . I have provided a breakdown of 1995 golf course finances . This is an atypical year of operation expenses and revenues because #1 we have incorporated "grow in" or maturation expenses for the start up costs and #2 we operated only 1/2 season. Therefore, typical operational expenses and revenues are not provided. The first • year did result in revenues over expenses and we did not borrow from the sewer and water fund for debt service . This sewer/water fund is however still available for borrowing should the golf course need it for some reason in the future . I have talked with Bob Thisle, financial consultant, to maintain a handle on the financial picture . As I had mentioned to you before, the bonding company called to ask the status of the golf course so that they could share the information with the bond investors . They were very happy to hear the great financial picture, the number of actual rounds and the anticipation for next year ' s golf activity. John and I have met with EGCS to bounce off ideas and formulate activities and programs . John has been interviewing candidates for golf instructors . This is an important time to gain a commitment from instructors since the golf lesson and league brochure needs to be prepared, printed and distributed in February. Depending upon the weather conditions, the practice range could open in late March and the course could open in early or mid April . AO( Mary Saari•n, Dlei c •r of Parks, Recreation and Forestry 0 RECOMMENDATION; STAFF REPORT PAGE TWO 1111 JANUARY 31, 1996 Vendors have been secured. Our inventory of merchandise and materials ie scorecards, pencils, etc . are plentiful for 1996 . Fertilizers, seeds and chemicals are being bid and purchased for March delivery. Leagues have been scheduled. Area High Schools have been contacted and they are very excited about negotiating schedules and prices for their team practices at The Bridges golf course. • There is much information regarding operations, pricing, costs, financial data, statistics, etc . that is helpful when making decisions regarding operations . Attached is a copy of a small section of one such resource . We are happy to see that The Bridges operation statistics for this inaugural 1/2 season seems to be above the mean in categories of our size, and location (in the frost belt) .

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; Community Development Block Grants are due February 15 . Each application requires a City Council Resolution. There are a few projects which I could prepare if the City Council wishes me to pursue them. CDBG criteria typically awards projects that are assisting start- up costs to projects that can be continued and operated by the community in the future. Therefore, operational (staffing) requests are rarely awarded. Capital purchases are more likely awarded. Possible grant projects are: 1111 1. Project: Recreation activities specifically for pockets of the community including manufactured home parks and concentrated apartment building areas where low income families tend to reside. This project would include the purchase of a vehicle equipped with portable park items used for recreational activities at these sites. This is capital start-up costs and therefore falls within the grant provisions. However, the Council needs to agree that this program should be provided and that either additional staffing funding is necessary or funds should be diverted from current subsidized youth programming to this new subsidized program. 2 . Another project would be equipping a Community Center facility or Teen Center facility. This would include costs of purchasing equipment and materials such as furniture, foosball table, refrigerator, microwave, vending machines, TV, VCR, Sega Genesis, ping pong tables, etc. This is capital start-up costs and would have good application to this grant. However, I know that the Community Center and Teen Center facility is still in discussion at this time and there is no concrete decision made. 1/ 7 < /(2 •/. .4'. Mary Saarioin, 'Director marks, Recreation and Forestry 4111 RECOMMENI11TION: . AGENDA PAGE TWO • FEBRUARY 5, 1996 3 . A final project would be the costs of employing a driver for youths and teens who wish to access the Northwest Youth and Family Services Teen Center using the MV/Lions bus as the transportation vehicle. This project would be staffing, which is typically seen as operational and in my opinion would be less likely to be funded. I will be happy to prepare a Community Development Block Grant for these or any other project that you may suggest . The time is short and I need your direction in this matter. Also attached is a project undertaken by Brooklyn Park Parks and Recreation Department and Police Department . The project acquired funding from grants and through City subsidization. It is one example of projects that may be considered. Another opportunity is the Bethel College Community Service Job program. I have requested more information. This would be a great opportunity to subsidize additional recreational leader services which is necessary for developing programs and services for low income residents . c-- - --, -1e- ..., ..,,,,,.:. ,tz IS 14 ilot g.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; Staff and consultanting engineers, Steve Campbell and Barry Peters have conducted two informational meetings with the residents involved with the Bronson Drive Reconstruction proposal . The first meeting involved explaining the proposed project and taking public input . At the second meeting possible assessment amounts were presented. These amounts had to be recalculated due to a misinterpretation of the assessment policy. Steve and or Barry will be in attendance at the work session to brief Council on the project . One phase of the project is still pending. The Surface Water Management Study conducted several years ago identified a 411) ponding project on the property adjacent from the Bel Rae . Council might recollect that the owner has approached the City in the past, requesting the City purchase his property. Council has declined the owner' s proposal . Staff has had a couple of conversations with the realtor representing the property owner. He was requested to respond to staff' s inquires this week. As of this writing, no further contact has been made. If the property is not for sale, or a negotiated purchase price can not be agreed upon, the project can still proceed without the pond. The following is a cost estimation of the project : ESTIMATED STREET PROJECT COSTS $307, 988 ESTIMATED STORM SEWER PROJECT COSTS 224, 144 ESTIMATED STORM PONDING COSTS 239, 222 LAND ACQUISITION-PONDING 150, 000 ESTIMATED SANITARY SEWER MAIN PROJECT COSTS 40, 562 ESTIMATED SANITARY SEWER SERVICE PROJECT COSTS 5,403 ESTIMATED WATER MAIN PROJECT COSTS 6 , 022 Estimated Total Project Cost $973, 343 This proposed project is state aid funded, but will also be assessed according to guidelines in the amended Chapter 202 of the Municipal Code. After the presentation, staff requests Council direction to proceed to IIII scheduling a public hearing.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Attached is the revised Housing Code, Chapter 1005 of the Municipal Code for your consideration. The main changes being proposed are to establish occupancy standards, require compliance with the Housing Code prior to issuance of certificate of registration, and defining hazards and giving closure to the inspection process. The first change proposed in the Ordinance is to establish occupancy standards based on square III footage requirements as required by the Uniform Building Code. Up until now, the Department of Housing and Urban Development required a maximum occupancy of two person per bedrooms. Because it was found to be unconstitutional to restrict the number of occupants in a dwelling unit, HUD has abolished their current occupancy standards. Individual municipalities may establish occupancy standards based on square footage requirements. This change is reflected in Section 1005.09, Subdivision 8. The second change proposed is to require inspections to be conducted prior to issuance of a Multiple Dwelling Registration. Currently, the all multiple dwellings are issued licenses by April 1. With this change, registration certificates will be issued upon compliance with the Housing Code. The third change proposed addresses the correction of immediate hazards stating that no occupancy shall be permitted if an immediate hazard exists (immediate hazards are listed in Section 1005.14, Subdivision 4). This would allow the City to require that any hazards listed in this section be corrected immediately (or within a time specified by the City). If repairs are not completed within this specified time, the City would be authorized to make the repairs and asses the costs to the property. ...„4.6 Jennifer Bergynan, Hou tg Inspector (r � • RECOMMENDATION: 1 , ORDINANCE NO. 572 • CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW • COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE, AMENDING THE CITY'S HOUSING CODE, ESTABLISHING INTERIOR STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND ROOM DIMENSIONS, AMENDING MULTIPLE DWELLING INSPECTION AND REGISTRATION PROCEDURES, GRANTING AUTHORITY TO THE BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT AUTHORITY TO MAKE OR ORDER CORRECTIONS TO, OR ORDER VACATION OF, BUILDINGS IN VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY'S HOUSING CODE, AND AMENDING TITLE 1000, CHAPTER 1005 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW CITY CODE.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; In previous discussions, a consulting firm or individual would be hired to conduct an organizational (management) audit of departments. The study's intent would provide to provide an audit and recommendations in relation to staffing, policy and procedures. Taking this into consideration, consulting companies and individuals in the surrounding area were contacted and inquired about experience, timelines and fees. The following attachment will give Council a general idea on what is available. 0 In addition, after having surveyed twenty-four cities it was found only three had recently used a consultant for organizational evaluations (Maplewood and Hopkins' Police Departments and St. Louis Park's Inspection and Community Development Departments) and one city was in the process of a study(Minneapolis'Police Department). To broaden the scope and take into consideration what a new Administrator would look for in an organizational study (i.e. information which would aid the understanding of a new municipality), I contacted two City Managers having experience in this subject. Both City Managers strongly emphasized how a new Administrator needs to be a part of the evaluation's process and help in the determination of purpose. Attached are the consulting firms or individuals I have spoken with or have obtained information from. Also attached are the names of out of state companies Council may want to consider.

When these elements are misaligned -- as with the City when the stated goals of redevelopment/economic development are very different from the City's mission of enforcement (by default) -- the organization's energy becomes diffused, and the organization inadvertently ends up fighting itself. The result is that problems exist, but no one is sure why, until ultimately the organization is pulled apart with inefficiencies and lack of results. Staff are all working hard; but without cohesion, results are not achieved, and their efforts go unnoticed or unappreciated. 4 • 1996 � DEPARTMENT YEAR END REPORTS • • POLICE " Agenda Section: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Report Number: ����� Report Date: STAFF REPORT Council Action: n'Afr�� ❑ Special Order of Business ^IF'',•Partners s ❑ Public Hearings 0 CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE ❑ Consent Agenda ❑ Council Business Item Description: Police Year End Report Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report !'/� - Comments attached.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; Attached to this staff report is the 1995 Year End Report for the Economic Development Department; Business Retention and Development/Marketing. Cathy Bennett,tEconomic Development Coordinator •• R.EC0MMENDATION; -44 • 1995 YEAR END REPORT ECONOMIC EVELOPM DEVELOPMENT Business Retention & Development/Marketing Attraction and Retention Efforts: With the completion and evaluation of Mounds View's survey to more than 100 businesses, twelve actions step were approved to address areas of concern in 1995. The action steps, developed by the EDC with the approval of the EDA, were unveiled to more than 25 businesses at a reception hosted by Sysco Minnesota. A list of targeted industries was developed to assist in the attraction and retention of business. This list was distributed to Moundsview Square, Silver View Plaza and Mounds View Business Park leasing agents along with a letter from the Mayor to encourage the attraction of the target industries. As a continuation of the retention survey process, the economic development coordinator met with 40 business representatives to discuss retention and development programs in Mounds View. In addition, Mounds View participated in 5 • open houses for new and expanding businesses and held two forums specially designed for businesses with regards to crime prevention and revision of the sign ordinance. Approximately 20 businesses attended these forums. In an effort the take advantage of all potential development opportunities for commercial, industrial and retail space in Mounds View, response was made to 34 Metro East Development Partnership requests for proposals and 24 additional outside requests on sites in the area. As a direct result of these efforts, Mounds View was able to spur the development of property to the north of the Bridges Driving Range. The 5 acre development, called Bridges Technology Park, was made possible with the City's assistance through a pay- as-you-go Tax Increment Financing agreement. The first phase of the project was developed for the headquarter location of Midwest I.V., a pharmaceutical company specializing in the manufacture and distribution of in-home IV kits, and for Laser & Cutting Technology, a precision laser cutting operation for industrial tools. This is a very significant achievement as it sets the stage for the development of the remaining parcels in the area. 1 Business Incentive Efforts: After several months of research by the EDC, the EDA approved a business loan program for existing businesses in Mounds View. Called Business Improvement Partnership Program, the loans are for interior and exterior improvements and consist of a matching loans with participating banks. Loans can range from $50,000- $10,000 with the City's participation at 2% interest rate. In 1995 the EDA approved two loans. Dynex Industries received $50,000 as part of their equity participation in a SBA loan for a 60,000 sq.ft. expansion. Mister Donut received $50,000 to improve the interior and exterior of the building and expand their product line. The City of Mounds View began to develop Tax Increment Policies as it relates to Re/Development in Mounds View. Staff identified excess Tax Increment Funds and worked with the EDA to develop and prioritize a schedule of uses for the excess funds over the next 10 years. Ongoing work will be dedicated to this topic to approve a development plan that will include fundability guidelines. Highway 10 Redevelopment: 111 At the direction of the EDC, Mounds View developed a Highway 10 Subcommittee comprised of Economic Development, Planning and Parks Commission members. The subcommittee developed and the EDA approved a Vision Statement of the Redevelopment of Highway 10. The subcommittee also drafted a proposed plan for the re/development of Highway 10 and a report was prepared by the administrative aide/U of St. Thomas student outlining the benefits of investing in the re/development of the corridor. The EDA briefly reviewed the reports at the end of 1995 and suggested that staff arrange to have a facilitator assist the council in prioritizing the areas of development as outlined in the subcommittee report. As a beginning to the redevelopment of Highway 10, the EDA took a proactive approach and acquired the blue house property located at 2625 Highway 10. The property, along with adjacent properties, will be marketed to the development • community in 1996. • 2 EL Marketing: • and presented a The seven member resident business marketing task forceprepared Marketing Plan to the Council in April of 1995. The plan was approved and the task force was charged with implementing programs in the plan in the remainder of 95 through 96. The City applied and was awarded a grant from Northern States Power for $2,500 to assist in the implementation of the marketing plan. As part of the implementation of the program, Mounds View embraced and marketed a new image statement "Pride, Progress and Partnerships". The image statement was updated on all new City supplies in 1995. In addition, T-shirts were designed and are being sold to raise funds for implementation of Mounds View's Marketing Plan. The task force researched the possibility of producing and hanging banners along the major thorough fares in Mounds View which resulted in the approval of purchasing 20 banners. The banners will be hung on County Road I, Long Lake Road and Edgewood Drive in the spring of 1996. To highlight the positive developments in Mounds View, 3 press releases were prepared and weekly contact with local media was pursued resulting in 16 articles on positive activities in Mounds View. • To market the economic development opportunities in Mounds View to a variety of public and private representatives, the City participated in 28 conferences, seminars and trade shows throughout the year. • 3 0 a N NO bna) - L p d- ?.

Both plans renewal date is May 1, 1995. • Department prepared and submitted many reports from all levels of governments. • New water meter software program was started in 1995. The last meter reading cards were sent out in October. • Work was completed on the 1994 financial statements and annual audit in the latter part of May. The auditors presented the financial statements and their management letter. • The City's experience modifier for workers compensation insurance was been changed to .72 from .75 for our 1996/1996 policy. That means an additional 3% discount off standard premiums. • The City set a new collection policy for non-payment of utility charges, in early June. • The Department assisted Golf Course personnel with the cash receipt process, which included selecting a new cash register and setting cash handling procedures at the golf course. • • The City renewed coverage on its property and casualty and liability insurance policies. A deductible of$10,000, compared to the previous deductible of$5,000, was chosen by Council for the renewal. That option resulted in an annual premium savings of$10,100. On the workers compensation policy the option of a$5,000 deductible on medical payments only was chosen for 1995/1996. A discount of$5,652 was given for selection of that option. The City received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The 1996 Budget was set with no tax levy increase.

Along with the dedication ceremonies and grand opening was the initial equipping, staff recruitment, training, merchandising and vending con- tracts and every other detail that goes into the opening of a new golf course, practice range and clubhouse operation. There were many details and activities to accomplish before the opening. Likewise much planning and arranging had to be completed in order to open the golf course for service to the public. This was achieved. The Bridges Golf Course opened in June and closed in November. Evaluations, final budget review and reflection on successes and failures has given staff the opportunity to make 1996 an even better golf course season than • this first inaugural 1/2 season in 1995. While the golf course operations took a bulk of staff time, there were many other achievements and highlights during 1995 which must be acknowledged. These highlights include: • Award of a Regional Arts Grant which offering the opportunity to provide free family special event entertainment to the residents of the community. • Two Forestry Grant awards offered the opportunity to expand the tree disease control program and to provide funding for the planting of many large trees in the community. • Cable TV received a grant from the Cable Commission which was used for purchasing equipment which provides a much more graphic and colorful public announcement and information bulletin board on Cable TV Government Access channel 16. • A Park Patrol was initiated with the recruitment of 5 dedicated residents who spent much of their summer evening and weekend hours visiting parks and educating park users in park rules and regulations. • A parcel of land adjoining Groveland Park was purchased, providing a grassy barrier between park athletic activities and nearby residential properties. • • Two new mowers and one new parks truck were purchased resulting in remarkable in- crease in mowing productivity and efficiency with the reduction of equipment repair and III down time. • Expanded recruitment of the Festival Committee and heightened efforts for Festival contributions resulted in record setting volunteers and contributions collected for the parade and other Festival activities. • The Department employed over 62 youth, providing a good work experience and pay- check for youth of the community. • This year athletic fields were requested by youth leagues for the longest demanded timespan than ever before with athletic field usage beginning in April and extending to the end of October. • new programs were offered to the community, providing assistance and services to those with needs, providing opportunities for new and different experiences, following trends and interests and expanding skills in leisure recreational activities. Each Department Division accomplished programs and activities which benefit the quality of life for the residents of the community. The goals achieved by each Division is provided in this report. In addition, there is much information regarding the 1995 activities and accomplish- ments of the Department. Please review this annual report so that you become aware of the • full impact that the Department has had on the residents of the community. As always, there is an endless list of people who volunteer their services to the community in parks and recreation activities. To them, we give a great big THANKS.

For the Week of January 29 - February 2, 1996 ADMINISTRATION Paul has been busy with the day-to-day dealings of City Adminstration...phone calls, counter customers, supporting staff and fighting off a cold and the flu. Also, Paul has been preparing for the Council/Staff strategic planning session and Council packet for the week of February 5th. Michele ********** Suburban Chamber Meeting • I attended the Suburban Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Group meeting with the Advisory Board and other Sub. Colt Cities. The meeting was to discuss City's goals for '96 and how the Chamber can assist with those goals. It was decided that each community would send community profiles to the chamber and they will compile one document with each member City's information to give to companies that inquire about the area. Communication's Group • Sharie Linke and I attended the metro area communication group meeting made up of various Cities and organizations to exchange ideas regarding communicating to the public. The meeting was held at the League of MN Cities new office in downtown St. Paul. This session focused on design standards and where to find qualified graphic artists. The information gave us great ideas to apply to our materials.... maybe to win another award!! Proposed Hotel Project • I had a preparation meeting with Charlie Hall to help him decide how to present the information regarding the hotel market feasibility study at the work session. He is very excited about the project and has been talking to a developer that might be interested in the project. He is coming to the work session to see if the Council will support the concept and be willing to explore the use of TIF for the project. Interstate 35W Corridor • The City of Roseville facilitated a meeting between I-35W Corridor communities of , Mounds View, New Brighton, Arden Hills and Shoreview to see if there is interest in working collaboratively to market the corridor's re/development assets, developing a tax increment policy and work to lobby for the interest of the corridor as a group rather than individually. One of the ideas discussed was collectively putting land use information on GIS using data from Ramsey County and the Met Council. Roseville has dedicated a ton of staff time to developing their GIS system and they are willing to help other communities to develop theirs. We will be having a few more strategy meetings and then bring the ideas back to the Mayors/Councils for consideration. MSP Real Estate • Jennifer and I will be meeting with Jeff Hugget of MSP (developers of Silver Lake Pointe) to discuss the possibility of working jointly on multi-family rehab projects. We will identify properties that are in need of rehab and see if they are interested in pursuing them. Cathy Indian Sovereignty The Indian Sovereignty Task Force met Last Thursday to discuss the future direction of the committee. Meetings have been a wealth of information in regards to the history of Indian reservations, Indian Sovereignty law and the frustrations City and County governments are experiencing. Speakers have included city and county officials, tribal members and their representatives, attorneys, House Research, the Minnesota Department of Revenue and many other interested parties. The Task Force came to the decision that the meetings have been a very valuable experience and need to be continued. The direction now, will to become a"coalition comprised of active participants representing cities, counties, tribal members, schools, townships, and the State." The League will continue to take the sponsorship role of the committee. Understanding of all sides to this issue have been a top priority thus far. Bill Summaries Elected Metropolitan Council A bill providing for an elected Metropolitan Council in 1996 and for public financing of campaigns for council positions. The members would be designated as local officials to be elected to staggered four-year term on a non-partisan basis. Property tax abatements for improvements to commercial property A bill authorizing cities, counties and townships to abate up to 50% of property taxes attributable to improvements made to commercial property for up to three years. Improvements which qualify include new construction, rehabilitation, reconstruction and additions that increase the value of the property by at least $5,000. Local governments would be required to provide notice and hold a public discussion of the abatement agreement prior to adoption. The abatement would be included in the proposed levy. Fiscal disparities revision A bill similar to Orfield's recently vetoed bill, which would include homestead property value in excess of$200,000 in the metropolitan area wide tax base as part of the fiscal disparities program. Growth in the amount of property value over $200,000 would be included in the area wide tax base. Economic development conferences exempt from the gift law A bill exempting the attendance at conferences and seminars on economic development from the definition of a prohibited gift under the ethics law. Conflict of interest This bill would prohibit legislators from authoring or voting on matters of direct or financial interest. This would include matters related to their occupation outside the Legislature. Pay or no permit Local governments could refuse to issue permit to home and business owners who have outstanding taxes, penalties, or interest on their properties.

Dawn PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS Because of the extreme cold, rinks are not being flooded. In fact, all of the rinks have been closed this week because of the dangerously cold temperatures. Closed signs have been placed on the buildings so that people will not send their children to the park buildings expecting them to be opened. This has been a good week to meet with representatives from various seed and fertilizer companies. It is important to use the right fertilizers and chemicals. An information exchange of turf, uses, soil conditions, etc. ensures that the right fertilizers, seeds and chemicals are ordered. Steve, Jeff and John have been working together on 1996 orders to reap the best bulk prices possible. The crew has been working on the bus. It was frozen up and did not start. The bus is scheduled for many uses in the next two weeks, so it is important that it keeps starting. Steve and Jeff have been making arrangements so that it is reliable for those who need to use it. RECREATION The annual report has been completed and is provided for the City Council in the February 5 Work Session packet. Recreation classes have been continuing even with the cold temperatures. I think parents are anxious to get their children out and about since the cold weather tends to keep them indoors more than usual. Their bottled up energy levels tend to peak. I know the schools have mentioned that students are more noisy and wiggly due to the lack of physical activity and outdoor play. Staff is working on a bicycle safety program for youth. The City has received a grant to purchase youth bicycle helmets. L We will incorporate the distribution of bicycle helmets along with a safety education program. Staff has done preliminary work on possible CDB grant applications, but is awaiting Council directive for application. GOLF COURSE John has been interviewing several golf instructors. He is impressed with a few he hopes to lure to The Bridges. Once the instructors have been hired, final dates and times for the lesson schedule will be selected so that the brochure can be prepared and distributed. We would like to have it out to the homes by the end of February. Staff has been providing Effective Golf Course Systems with information that they have requested for their evaluation/recommendations presentation on February 5th.

She has been working with Waterpro, Computerservice, and the citizens to help the billing go smoothly. I have been filling out reports this week, both for different levels of government and the bond agency. The 1099's went out this week.
