Member Carlson asked for a brief overview of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
presentation that was given at the October 26, 1995 meeting since she was not a member at
the time. Member Carlson specifically was interested in the funding accounts and what
Mounds View needs to do to take advantage of these funds. Coordinator Bennett explained
that there are three main funding account and that the Metropolitan Council is still working
on the details. The City of Mounds View could be eligible for funds if a project was identified
that met their objective. The City is keeping close tabs on this legislation. Member Carlson

5. A. Discussion and Review of Economic Development Plan Update (Inventory
11111 of Developed Commercial/Industrial Property)
1
Coordinator Bennett handed out a revised inventory of developed commercial and industrial
property in Mounds View for the EDC's review and discussion. The inventory includes
zoning, comprehensive plan designation, property I.D. #, Owner, lot size, land value and
estimated property taxes payable in 1995. Coordinator Bennett notedseveral areas that will •
be changed and said she would hand out a revised copy at the next meeting to include
properties that are in a tax increment district.
B. Discussion of Bridges to Work Program
Chairman Seipp gave an overview of a meeting held at the Burnsville Transit Center to discuss
transportation issues. The Bridges to Work Program is an idea to link the labor pool in the
inner cities to the need for workers in the suburbs through a coordinated transportation
system. Currently, there is no central location whereby a company could pick up workers to
transport them to the job site. The proposal includes a central North Suburb location, such as
Roseville, which would serve as a collection point for companies that have a need to attract
inner city workers. It was recommended that staff keep the EDC apprised of the program so
that information can be given to Mounds View businesses. In addition, the EDC would like to
have a meeting with the Metropolitan Transit System to see if an additional route may be
developed for Highway 10 near the business park. If this is not possible, the EDC would like
to review other opt out programs that could specifically benefit Mounds View residents and
businesses access to the transit system.
C. Discussion of Terms for EDC Member in 1996
Coordinator Bennett explained that there are three terms which expire in 1995. These terms
may be reappointed for another term if the persons so desires. The terms that expire include
Dan Nelson, Peg Mountin and Phil Seipp. Commissioner Mountin said that she would not be
able to be reappointed for another year since her personal and educational commitments are
increasing. Commissioner Seipp had not made a decision and said that he would be talking to
the Mayor and would let Coordinator Bennett know prior to the next meeting. Coordinator
Bennett said she would contact Commissioner Nelson.
Coordinator Bennett asked for suggestions on candidates to fill vacancies on the EDC.
Commissioner Carlson suggested a customer and resident who is a real estate agent named Bev
Terhark. Other suggestions include resident Hank Ruggles and a representative from the Silver
Lake Pointe Apartments. Coordinator Bennett will contact these people to see if they are
interested in applying.
Reports From Chair, Commissioners and Staff:
There were no reports.

There being no further business before the Commission, this meeting of the Economic Development
Commission adjourned at 7:20 p.m.

Staff Memo
To: Economic Development Commission Members
From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: January 18, 1996
Agenda Item: Election of President and Vice President
(5.A)
As a requirement of the Municipal Code, Chapter 408.07, Subdivision 1, Economic
Development Commission, Organization, the Commission is required to appoint a
chairperson and vice chairperson at the first regular meeting.
Chairperson:
The chairperson is subject to the approval of the Authority with a term of one year.
i General duties of the chairperson include facilitating the Economic Development
Commission meetings, notify Authority of vacancies, call special meetings, and
mediate conflicts which disrupt the effectiveness of EDC meetings.
The Chairperson in 1995 was Phil Seipp, President of Sysco Minnesota. Mr. Seipp will
not be on the EDC in 1996.
Vice Chairperson:
The vice chairperson is voted in by the Commission and is not required to be
approved by the Authority. The vice chairperson assumes the responsibilities of the
chairperson in his/her absence.
The Vice Chairperson in 1995 was Dan Nelson, resident.
It has been an unwritten policy of the EDC to alternate the Chair and Vice Chair seat
between a resident and business representative. Following this policy for 1996 the
Chair should be a resident and the Vice Chair should be a business representative.
Nominations for appointment of the above officers will be requested at the January
25th meeting with a vote to follow. The President appointment will be put before the
EDA at the February 12, 1996 meeting for approval.
