Dear Economic Development Commission Members:
Attached is your packet for the upcoming EDC meeting this Thursday
evening at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in Conference Room A
rather than the Council Chambers since there is a conflict this month.
Conference Room A is in Administration to the left of the Council
Chambers.
• Our special business this month is carried over from the September
meeting since Joanne Barron was called out of town on personal business.
Please refer to your materials from last month regarding the topic of the
Livable Communities Act and how this relates to economic development.
•
Please call me if you have any question or will be unable to make the
meeting.
See you Thursday in Conference Room A.

2. Roll Call:
Members present were as follows: Rosemary Goff, Mark Malone, Delane Welsch and Phil Seipp. In

3. Approval Of Minutes:
Motion/Second: Goff/Malone moved approval of Minutes of August 24, 1995 Meeting.
Motion Carried 4 ayes 0 nays
• 4. Special Business
Presentation on the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
Coordinator Bennett reported that Joanne Barron from the Metropolitan Council called
to cancel due to personal business that brought her out of town. The item will be
moved to the October agenda.
5. A. Consideration of TIF Funds for Housing Loans
Coordinator Bennett reported that the City met with attorney regarding the use of TIF for a
housing loan program similar to the business loan program. Unfortunately Tax Increment Law
does not allow the use of Tax Increment for interest reduction on single family owner occupied
properties. Staff is evaluating other programs and will bring a program back to the EDC for
consideration upon Council's direction regarding policy issues.
B. Discussion of Updating Mounds View's Economic Development Plan
Coordinator Bennett passed out the last version of the Mounds View Economic Development
Plan approved in April of 1986. As part of the EDC's work plan the task of updating the Plan
should be started in 1995. Coordinator Bennett also reported that the EDC should consider
striving for Minnesota Star City Status as part of the updating process. The Star City Program is
an economic development planning process which includes community data gathering, survey
I
•
of businesses and developing an economic development plan and marketing program. Bennett
noted that Mounds View has completed most of the process to become a star city with the
exception of updating the Economic Development Plan and developing a promotional video.
Bennett reported that the City has funds set aside for the promotional video. Chairman Seipp
suggested that we work on a resolution to pursue the star city process and directed staff to
gather more information on the process. Coordinator Bennett suggested we invite a
representative from DIED to discuss the requirements for the program at the next meeting.
Chairman Seipp asked to have a list of those cities that are already star cities.
C. Update on Highway 10 Corridor Redevelopment
Coordinator Bennett reported that Administrative Aide Lynnette Morgan was working on a
report as part of her internship regarding the importance of redevelopment to a City.
Coordinator Bennett presented an outline of the report for EDC's comment. Coordinator
Bennett explained that a draft report will be presented to the EDC in October followed by a
presentation to the EDA in November. If all goes as planned public forums to gain consensus
for the program will begin in January. Commissioner Welsch asked what was the format of the
public forums and suggested we review the format used by the entities that have been
designed to discuss the future of the arsenal project. In addition, Commissioner Welsch offered
to contact the U of M regarding assistance with the program. Chairman Seipp suggested we
mail an invitation to the public in the next newsletter regarding public participation.
Coordinator Bennett said that the City put a special attachment in the newsletter when they
were looking for participants in the Focus 2000 Process which proved to be very effective.
D. Consideration of Establishing a Loan Committee
Coordinator Bennett reported that, at the recommendation of Mark Malone, that the EDC
should consider establishing a loan committee made up of at least four commission members.
• The committee could be referred to within a weeks notice to discuss a loan application and
make a recommendation to the EDA for approval/denial. This will allow requests to be
reviewed in an expedient manner.
Motion/Second: Welsch/Goff moved approval of Resolution to Establish a Loan
Committee
Motion Carried 4 ayes 0 nays
D. Consideration of Business Improvement Loan for Mister Donut
Coordinator Bennett presented information for consideration of a loan for Forcia, Inc. owners
of Mister Donut in Mounds View. Coordinator Bennett reported that the business will be
completely improved both on the interior and exterior and the product line will be expanded to
include bagels, soup, sandwiches, cakes and ice cream. Bennett noted that Western Bank has
reviewed the financial statements and feels that the City's participation is the only way this loan
would be approved. The financial reports show a turn toward positive growth and that
Western still needs to finalize approvals that current loans are current and there were no
defaulted payments. Coordinator Bennett reported that the project conforms with the goals of
the program to the fullest. Alternate Liaison Quick reported that even if there was a default on
the loan that the property would be improved and more marketable than it is now. Several
members reviewed the information and after all questions were satisfactory answered
Commissioner Goff made a motion for approval.

an enjoyable year on the Commission and suggested that the members recommend a member
from the bank to continue to participate on the Commission.

This item was briefly discussed at the September meeting. I was directed to bring the
EDC more information regarding Star City Status and the funds we have available for
a Mounds View Promotional Video. I have invited Bart Bevens, our representative
from DIED, to discuss the Star City Process and explain how we should proceed.
• Regarding the funds for a video production I have pulled the staff reports and
preliminary script that was approved in April of 1993. The funds allocated were for
supplies in the amount not to exceed $500. (NOT $5,000, Sorry for the confusion).
The time to produce the video was volunteered by Jerry Skelly Sr., Chair of the
Mounds View Cable Commission... I will verify with Jerry Skelly Sr. to see if his offer
. still stands from 1993 and if he anticipates that there will be any additional costs
involved.
Also attached is the first update for the Economic Development Plan that was given
to you at the last meeting. I have started with an inventory of undeveloped
commercial property in Mounds View (section 2.2 and attached map). Most of the
undeveloped property is on Highway 10. For those that were not at the meeting last
month I will bring your copies of the Economic Development Plan to the meeting.

FEW-MARY;
•
Jerry Skelly, Chair of the Mounds View Cable Commission, has volunteered
to produce a promotional video for the City of Mounds View. The project,
which he anticipates will take one year to complete, will showcase Mounds
View's early beginnings through to present day.
The video will be a wonderful asset for the community to have as it will
provide the City with a promotional instrument to present at meetings,
conferences, send to potential residents, business owners and developers.
While Jerry will be volunteering his time, there are anticipated materials
and miscellaneous costs associated with this project. It is estimated that
these costs will not exceed $500 and staff is requesting that Council
approve this amount to be paid for out of the` Contingency Fund.
