I EDC Minutes December 10, 2004 Not Approved •Pae 2 2. Update on Bridges Golf Course Redevelopment Project—CRESA Partners (Medtronic: Backman summarized the activities/milestones reached over the last four months, including the title commitment research, wetland delineation, commercial appraisal, boundary and topographic surveys. As members are aware, on September 13, 2004 the EDA selected RLK-Kuusisto to undertake the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR), an environmental assessment process of a potential office development at the Bridges site. The Draft AUAR was completed on November 18th. We received 60 copies of the draft and 25 different entities/agencies received copies for their review. This included the Governor's Office. Belting asked if we were at the point of negotiations. Backman responded that no final decision has been made by the City or Medtronic. McDonald asked if Medtronic is focusing just on Mounds View now. Backman replied that the day before Thanksgiving Medtronic indicated that they wanted to focus on the Mounds View site. The pace is picking up and we are now in negotiations. McDonald asked when the golf course would cease to operate. Backman noted that no timetable has been set, however, Medtronic would like to be moving dirt at the Bridges site by September 2005. Backman then discussed two proposed pieces of legislation that would be needed for the Medtronic project to move forward—the Reverter Clause bill and the TIF District legislation. Sen. Betzold is willing to introduce these when the session starts in January. Senate Counsel is already reviewing them. On December 9th the Mayor and other representatives of Mounds View attended a kickoff meeting for the Medtronic project at the Dept of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) in St. Paul. Various state agencies were present including MnDOT, DNR, Met Council, MPCA, etc. Medtronic made a presentation of what they hoped to • accomplish at the Mounds View site. This campus would be Medtronic's largest complex in the world. Members asked about potential land acquisition in Blaine, sign buyout, and potential TIF assistance. After discussion,a motion was made by Chairperson Johnson,and seconded by Belting, that the EDC recommends to the City that it move forward with the redevelopment project, including pursuing the adoption of legislation at the Minnesota Legislature to remove the reverter clause on the former Mn DOT property and passage of necessary TIF legislation.
