Staff Memo
To: Economic Development Commission Members
From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: November 13, 1995
Agenda Item: Discussion of Community Connections Committee
(Special Bus.)
I have invited Susie Kaiser, volunteer for Mounds View School District, to speak to the
EDC regarding facilities, faculty usage and services for the residents within the City of
Mounds View. The Community Connections Committee has been involved in
discussions regarding areas the City and the School District could work together
beyond the issues of space at elementary schools. As a result of discussions, it
• became apparent that ideas and talents by residents should be better utilized.
Therefore, the committee has been holding focus groups of different Mounds View
resident populations (empty nesters, young couples with small children, singles, etc)
to gather information on their thoughts regarding the perceived needs for Mounds
View services as it pertains to educational programs.
One of the proposals involves the potential use of excess tax increment dollars to
funds the up front cost of a new or expanded school\community center facility. It
would be useful for the EDC to learn about the proposed future plans that may affect
economic development plans in Mounds View. In addition, the Community
Connections Committee should hear from the businesses and residents, which make
up the EDC, representing a commitment to the economic future of the City.

Staff Memo

From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: November 13, 1995
Agenda Item: Discussion of the North Metro Business Retention and
(Special Bus.) Development Commission Phase II
Joseph Strauss and Sarah Nelson of Community Resource Partnership will be in
attendance at the meeting to discuss Mounds View's possible participation in Phase II
of the North Metro Business Retention and Development Commission. I have
attached the proposed work plan which outlines what would be included for an
investment of $2,000 in the continuation of the process. Most notably is Part 2 which
would allow Mounds View to choose two programs from the list provided.
Please be prepared to ask questions regarding how Mounds View would potentially
benefit from participation in the Commission based on the attached work plan. In
addition, if there are any other items which may be of more benefit to Mounds View
that are not included please bring them up at the meeting.

1996 WORK PLAN111
CITY OF BLAINE
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK
CITY OF NEW BRIGH N
CITY HOP
CITY OF i O S VIEW
The 1996 Work Plan will be comprised of the following components, namely:
Each Community will participate in:
PART I
A. Continuation of Survey Activity
New Businesses - All new businesses will be surveyed and added to the data base
10
information file. There are some 650 new businesses that have been identified since the
inception of the"Community Partners"project. The breakdown of location is attached
for reference.
Resurvey Existing Businesses -
1. 15%of previously surveyed businesses will be resurveyed in order to provide more
in depth information in support of key initiatives, and
2. Up to `'A of all businesses will be contacted to maintain data base basic information
accuracy, and
3. A cross section of move out businesses will be contacted to determine "why"they'
moved. All such information will be complied and submitted to city staff for
review and future use.
Summer Youth Employment Survey - Each business that indicated a willingness to
participate in providing summer youth employment will be re-contacted in early 1996.
All employment leads will be forwarded to appropriate youth employment agencies for
follow-up and coordination of job opportunities.
B. Training and Employment
Significant information was developed in the initial survey process which clearly
indicates that a shortage of skilled workers is developing in the region. This shortage is
affecting in particular the area's high growth and base building companies.
• Unfortunately, the linkages between public and private educational resources, employee
demand, and prospective employees are at best happenstance. The need for employees
is nonetheless critical for the log term health of the area's economy. There is a need to
focus resources on those firms and industries which offer the greatest long term potential
for economic growth in the area. Special attention should be focused on the needs of
these businesses and local resources from secondary and post secondary public and
private institutions should be harnessed to provide the type of training needed. A special
effort needs to be made to identify the types of training needed, and identification of the
potential employees in and out of school to fill these potential career opportunities.
Strategy/Action Plan
• Select 2 - 3 target populations of businesses with high growth and base building
characteristics.
• Review existing data base as to specific training needs of targeted business sectors
and coordinate said training needs with local educational institutions, both public
and private.
• Meet with proprietary schools as well as community and technical colleges to help
focus their resources as it could affect each targeted group and determine what the
schools need to do to service the needs of the targeted businesses.
• Conduct focus groups with each targeted business group to quantify demand,
specific issues, as well as develop strategies to recruit employees into appropriate
training for identified job opportunities.
• Meet with secondary institutions, employment and training officials, welfare
offices, etc. to promote interest in training and job opportunities
C. Continue "Red Flag" Reporting System On New Businesses And All Resurveys
CRP will continue to alert appropraite city satff of all "red flags" generateds from surveys
of new businesses and/or resurvey inquiries.
PART II •
Elective Activities
Each community may elect two of the following:
❑ 1. "Special Surveys" - A survey will be designed and conducted where a city
indicates a need for a special project type undertaking or a specific issue type
survey need.
❑ 2. "Special Assignments" - CRP will assume special assignments as directed by the
city, to probe possible business expansion and/or redevelopment opportunities.
O 3. "Public Relations" - CRP will assist in the design of a public relation program to
promote the city's effort with the commercial development community, for
example:
• CRP will coordinate an Annual Commercial Developer's Day in which
representatives from the development community will be invited to a social
function hosted by the city followed by a tour of the various
development/redevelopment successes,available sites and buildings. The program
will be structure around site and/or project specific commercial redevelopment
opportunities.
• CRP will coordinate an Annual Realtor's Day in which realtors would be invited
to tour the community and hear presentations regarding the city's amenities and
housing programs.
• CRP will schedule one-on-one networking sessions with 10 key
development/redevelopment firms/owners-managers -- to be determined in
conjunction with city staff -- for the purpose of educating
development/redevelopment decision makers about the opportunities in the city.
O 4. "Targeted Development/Redevelopment Opportunities" - CRP will use the
Community Partners' data base to target specific identified business
development/redevelopment opportunities, e.g., opportunities for product and/or
service expansion that have been identified by area businesses as being needed.
O 5. "Relocation Candidates" - CRP will study businesses that indicated they might
relocate to gain access to capital and/or debt financing.
❑ 6. "Postal Service Issue" - CRP will study those businesses that indicated a
dissatisfaction level with post office service, and develop a strategy to address the
problem.
O 7. "Product and Service Needs" - CRP will identify one or two services frequently
purchased from outside of the North Metro area. CRP will select a focus group of
firms who purchase from outside the area and investigate opportunities to attract
these preferred suppliers to the area. CRP will work with local real estate
developers to create suitable space for such businesses.
❑ 8. "New Airport Impact Study" - CRP will study the characteristics of firms that
indicated that the relocation of the airport would negatively impact their operations,
and determine any potential impact on the city as a result.
❑ 9. "Study Transportation System Impact" - CRP will study the current transportation
and transit system plan for the Metro Division and determine the impact on those
businesses that identified transportation/transit as a critical factor in their location
decision.
❑ 10. "Study Day Care Needs_and Availability" - CRP will interview businesses that
41111 indicated that day care was an important need in terms of location decisions and
identify service delivery capability in relationship to business survey data.
❑ 11. "Produce a Business and Professional Services Directory77 - CRP will produce a
Business and Professional Services Directory for distribution to the entire business
base.
❑ 12. "Produce an Updated Manufacturing and Distribution Directory" - CRP will
produce an updated Manufacturing and Distribution sector directory for the entire
business base.
❑ 13. "Foster a Business Mentoring System"- CRP will work with one to three industry
clusters on an experimental basis to facilitate the creation of a mentoring system,
in which larger experienced firms are partnered with newer emerging firms. This
would be an exploratory effort with the intention of spinning off activity to either
local Chambers of Commerce or the community and technical colleges.
O 14. "International Trade Forum" - CRP will invite survey participants that expressed
an interest in international trade as well as firms currently engaged in international
trade to a series of informal meetings or focus groups to determine their need for
information, and match them with known resources in the community.
❑ 15. "Operate As A Development Opportunity Clearinghouse" - CRP will integrate
Property Identification Numbers (PID #'s) and integrate property ownership into
the data base. Further, CRP will convert existing data on lease expirations into a
tickler file system, classify properties by type, square footage and key
characteristics, e.g., dockage type, ceiling heights, etc. CRP will monitor
anticipated length of stay projections via phone as appropriate. All of this
information will be maintained on a confidential basis for each participating city.

The City of Mounds View will be known as a city
with a balance between business and residential
concerns. There will be a positive business climate
as shown by public-private collaboration to recruit,
encourage, and retain successful, community-based
enterprises with emphasis on job expansion, in-
crease in tax base, and quality of life. There will be
a cooperative spirit between the government and
citizens, whether residential or business, when set-
ting regulations into code. Environmental and aes-
thetic consciousness will be demonstrated by a re40
-
designed Highway 10, a network of inter-connected
trails, parks, and wetland spaces, and active citizen
participation in ecological activities.

The team was made up of seven principal members, six of which are residents of Mounds
View and one non-resident of Mounds View, but is an employer.
From a big picture, we all agreed that business is good for a city. The City Council and
• Staff agree that business is good. Therefore, a first objective stated was that we need to be
proactive in keeping and improving the business climate; many businesses surveyed say
improvement is needed. Highway 10, the business corridor, was an obvious area of focus.
• Environmental consciousness is here to stay - everyone wants it.
We quickly eliminated issues that we felt we had no control over. We prioritized the
remaining issues into three categories - Priority A, B, and C. We then recognized our time
constraints, addressed Priority A issues, and organized them into three main issues. We
then developed goal statements and action steps within those three issues.
• In the first half of our process, we proceeded with the instruction to set goals and action
steps without clouding them with economic limitations, as those limitations would be dealt
with at the end. The second half of the process resulted in the economic factor being a big
concern, almost a stumbling block for the group. "Tax and Spend" versus "Invest and
• Save".
4. Generally, the team members were cooperative, open minded, respectful, good listeners,
and sincere. They volunteered their time because they hope the FOCUS 2000 program
will help the people who run the City.

Staff Memo
To: Economic Development Commission Members
From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: November 13, 1995
Agenda Item: Review of Draft Request for Qualifications
(5.b.) (2625 Highway 10 and adjoining properties)
Since Mounds View EDA will be the owner of 2625 Highway 10 this month it is now
time to solicit input from the development community regarding potential uses of the
property and\or adjoining land.
I have prepared a request for qualification, which was recommended by a local
developer, to gain ideas regarding the highest and best use for the property. Since
this is a brainstorming document, I have included the entire block for redevelopment.
This does not mean that the City would acquire and redevelop all of the parcels but, if
a proposal comes forth that is attractive, the option is not out of the question.
In discussions with the City Bond Attorney, Mounds View could put the entire block in
a tax increment district which would allow us the opportunity to invest funds beyond
what is currently available now.
Attached is the draft request for qualification and information regarding the parcels
of property in the area.
Please review and be prepared to comment on the information attached.
• The City of Mounds View Economic Development Authority
Highway 10 Redevelopment Phase /
Request for Qualifications
December 1995
The City of Mounds View's Economic Development Authority(EDC) would like to solicit
your input regarding the highest and best use for a redevelopment area on State Highway
10 in Mounds View.
It is anticipated that your assistance will lead to a formal request for proposal on the sites in
question. Therefore, your input and ideas are critical to moving the process forward.
The redevelopment of Highway 10 has been identified as the #1 Goal in the Council\Staff
5-year strategic planning session. Therefore, several properties have been identified as
priorities to increase the tax base and improve aesthetics of the City.
Background:
The City of Mounds View is located 10 miles north of Minneapolis and St. Paul directly
• west of Interstate 35W on Highway 10. Mounds View is on the most north west border
of Ramsey County and is bordered by the communities of New Brighton, Blaine and Spring
Lake Park.
Mounds View has a population of 13,000 people and has grown from a small sleepy
suburb to a bustling community with diverse residential neighborhoods and quality business
development. (See Attached Communtiy Profile)
With the development of Mounds View Business Park, Silver Lake Pointe Apartments and
the Bridges Technolgy Center over the past five years, Mounds View is now committed to
focusing on the redevelopment of its main corridor, namely Highway 10.
The City's Economic Development Authority was established in 1994 to oversee the
development of Mounds View's Tax Increment Financing Districts and the use of future
and current excess tax increment funds.
Mnrindc View rPcidPnrc anti hrrcinPccPc take great pride in the rnmmirnity ani itc firtnrP.
To capture this dedication Mounds View recently adopted a new image statement.

gre's-ParCfle \4'
The Site:
The site includes approximately 7 acres located on the North-West side of Highway 10
between County Road I and Sunnyside Road. (See attached map). Currently the site
consists of a mix of single family residential, multi-family residential and commercial office.
Most of the parcels are substandard and are in need of redevelopment.
The location is in the heart of Mounds View's service center which includes two small retail
strip centers (Moundsview Square and Silverview Plaza), Fast Food Restaurants (Hardees
and Burger King), SuperAmerica, a bike shop and radio store, and an 85-Unit Senior
Housing Facility. The site is one of the last corners to be developed to tie into the city
center of Mounds View.
Site Concerns\Control:
One of the major factors that will dictate the development of this site is the impact of a
development on the residential neighborhood to the north of the site. Mounds View has
always taken pride in ensuring that there is a balance between commercial and residential
development. Adequate buffering and a use that would be sensitive to the needs of the
residential neighborhood will be highly considered. A use that would have limited evening
traffic, such as an office complex, would be desired.
The EDA may consider the use of tax increment financing to assist in the proper •
redevelopment of the site. Currently, the City owns the parcel on the corner of Highway
10 and County Road I. The EDA may consider using these funds for the following
activities:
► Real estate acquisition,
► Relocation and site clearance,
► Public improvements,
► Utilities, and
• Surface water management requirements.
Traffic:
State Highway 10 accommodates over 40,000 vehicles and is the major thoroughfare
between St. Paul and other Ramsey County communities to the North West suburbs if
Coon Rapids and Anoka. In addition, traffic counts for the County Road I and Highway 10
intersection exceed 16,500. Currently, there are several access points off of Highway 10
onto the subject properties. The City would work closely with MnDot to ensure that
adequate and safe access to the properties is achieved.

Discussion of the Community Connections Committee
Susie Kaiser, volunteer for the Mounds View School District, gave an overview of the
Community Connections Committee which was established to evaluate the City and Districts
need for additional school and community facilities. Ms. Kaiser posed several questions to the
members of the EDC regarding what programs and services are available now and what
additional services are needed, what facilities could accommodate the additional services and
where would this facility(es) be located and what don't we want.
The EDC felt that the City should not participate in any operation that would directly compete
with private business and that the use of tax increment funds should be focused to commercial
development and redevelopment purposes.

5. A. Economic Development Plan Update- Chapter 3
Coordinator Bennett briefly reviewed the information in Chapter 3 for the Commission.
It was recommended that staff update as much information as possible in this chapter
prior to developing the long range goals for the Economic Development Plan.
Coordinator Bennett noted that this information should be fairly easy to update but
since the City is without an Administrator and a Finance Director it may take longer
than normal. Coordinator Bennett said she would review with the finance staff and try
to have the information to the Commission by the January or February meeting.
B. Review Draft Request for Qualifications
Coordinator Bennett requested the Commission's comments regarding the draft
request for qualifications (rfq) which will be distributed to the development community
in December. Coordinator Bennett explained that the rfq is a document that will
hopefully generate ideas regarding possible redevelopment options for property along
Highway 10 between County Road I and Sunnyside. The Commission felt that this was
an excellent idea and would like to review the responses.
Reports From Chair, Commissioners and Staff:
Chair Phil Seipp suggested that we have the last meeting of the year at Donatelle's. All
commission members present agreed.

Discussion of the Community Connections Committee
Susie Kaiser, volunteer for the Mounds View School District, gave an overview of the
Community Connections Committee which was established to evaluate the City and Districts
need for additional school and community facilities. Ms. Kaiser posed several questions to the
members of the EDC regarding what programs and services are available now and what
additional services are needed, what facilities could accommodate the additional services and
where would this facility(es) be located and what don't we want.
The EDC felt that the City should not participate in any operation that would directly compete
with private business and that the use of tax increment funds should be focused to commercial
development and redevelopment purposes.

1996 work plan for the North Metro Business Retention and Development Commission.
• Motion Carried 4 ayes 0 nays
5. A. Economic Development Plan Update - Chapter 3
Coordinator Bennett briefly reviewed the information in Chapter 3 for the Commission.
It was recommended that staff update as much information as possible in this chapter
prior to developing the long range goals for the Economic Development Plan.
Coordinator Bennett noted that this information should be fairly easy to update but
since the City is without an Administrator and a Finance Director it may take longer
than normal. Coordinator Bennett said she would review with the finance staff and try
to have the information to the Commission by the January or February meeting.
B. Review Draft Request for Oualifications
Coordinator Bennett requested the Commission's comments regarding the draft
request for qualifications (rfq) which will be distributed to the development community
in December. Coordinator Bennett explained that the rfq is a document that will
hopefully generate ideas regarding possible redevelopment options for property along
Highway 10 between County Road I and Sunnyside. The Commission felt that this was
an excellent idea and would like to review the responses.
• Reports From Chair, Commissioners and Staff:
Chair Phil Seipp suggested that we have the last meeting of the year at Donatelle's. All
commission members present agreed.
7. Adjournment
There being no further business before the Commission, this meeting of the Economic Development
Commission adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Economic elopment Coordinator
