Presentation from MnDOT on 1-35W Projects
Bre Grand and Ryan Coddingdon both from MnDOT informed the Commission on several
projects slated to begin in April including a new sound wall near Mounds View, a MnPASS lane,
some new bridges, and other construction projects along 1-35 that will affect traffic from Lino
Lakes to Roseville. The construction process is expected to last three years. Alternative routes
were explained and a thorough explanation of each project. Travel time signs will be installed and
the traffic lights along Mounds View Boulevard will be synchronized to adjust to traffic flows.
Commissioner Muckala asked if the information will be available for the City's website and also if
pedestrians will be able to cross Mounds View Boulevard safely and in a timely manner. Mrs.
Grand welcomed any comments from the public on safety issues and all comments will be heard
and considered and residents are encouraged to contact MnDOT directly. Contact information is
posted on the MnDOT website and residents can sign up for construction updates. Commissioner
Stevenson asked who can be contacted for the Festival in the Park evets etc. Commissioner
Freichels asked where the information can be found on the MnDOT website and recommended

will look into this as the synchronization was intended to be temporary. Some of the long-term
benefits of this construction project is the sound wall, the flow of traffic form the MnPASS lane
and the resurfacing of the road which will prolong the life of the road. Motorcyclists can use the
MnPASS lane anytime. Transponders can be obtained through the MnPASS website. MnDOT will
also be providing more media campaigns to get the word out and MnDOT will have a booth at the
Mounds View Town Hall meeting. Commissioner Stevenson reiterated that MnDOT will be
updating the Mounds View Boulevard signage off of 1-35. Assistant Administrator Beeman asked
if the coffee and connections will be held in the Mounds View area. MnDOT will look into it.
Commissioner Farmer asked about traffic pattern studies and if people change their patterns
long-term even after the construction has ended. MnDOT does do some studies but found that
most people go back to the main routes.

Comprehensive Task Force Member Dennis Farmer provided the Commission an update stating
that the Task Force continues to work though the Comprehensive Plan which must be submitted
by the end of 2019. He mentioned that staff is still working on the plan and he expects to see a

City of Mounds View staff Report
To: Economic Development Commission
From: Brian Beeman, Assistant City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 19-EDC-44 Amending the Bylaws to be Consistent
with Chapter 408 of the City's Municipal Code
Background
As part of the City's strategic plan to become more efficient, the City's office hours were
changed to M-TH from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Therefore, City offices are not open on Fridays.
Further, many of the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce meetings are scheduled for
Friday mornings conflicting with the EDC Friday morning meetings. In order to prevent having to
bring in staff to set up video equipment etc. on their days off and potentially be forced to pay
overtime, Staff is recommending that the EDC amend their Bylaws which specifies that all EDC
meeting shall be conducted on the third Friday each month.
Instead of making it mandatory for the EDC to meet only on the third Friday each month, staff is
recommending that the EDC follow Chapter 408.07 of the City Code which allows the EDC to
determine its meeting dates by resolution. This will also allow the EDC to change dates in the
future if necessary without having to amend the Bylaws each time.
Chapter 408, Section 408.07, subdivision 2
Subd. 2. Regular Meetings: The Commission shall hold at least one (1) regular meeting
each month at a time which the Commission shall fix by resolution.

Meeting Date: November 15, 2019
Type of Business: EDC
To: Economic Development Commission
From: Brian Beeman, Assistant City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Revising EDC Meeting Calendar for 2020
Background
Section 408.07 of the Mounds View Municipal Code and the EDC Bylaws require that
the Economic Development Commission establish a meeting calendar. The EDC did
this last November for 2019. The Bylaws also specify that the meetings shall occur on
the third Friday of each month which can be amended by a resolution. The Commission
has traditionally met at 7:30 am. As part of the Strategic Planning efforts to become
more efficient, City Hall is no longer open on Fridays. Therefore it is recommended that
the EDC meetings be held on the third Thursday of each month as -needed at 7:30 a.m.
A resolution has been prepared to reflect this change.
The following dates represent the third Thursdays through 2020.

Item Title/Subject: Hear a Presentation on the Mounds View Schools Career Pathways
Program
Background:
Mounds View Schools is one of the partner school recipients of a Gen Z grant provided through the
Department of Labor's Youth Skills Training program. The Gen Z program is based on the successful
White Bear Lake Schools model and provides paid student manufacturing internships for high school
students.
Mounds View Schools is seeking four manufacturers interested in employing students next summer.
Four students will rotate through four manufacturers during a four -week timeframe. So, each
manufacturer will only have one student each week for four weeks. Please see attached for more
information. This is a wonderful opportunity for industry partners to showcase the manufacturing
industry and provide four students a glimpse of what a career might look like.
An informational breakfast will be held December 3, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., at Jimmy's Food & Drink in
Vadnais Heights. The agenda will include presentations from those manufacturers who participated
in the White Bear Lake program. Those interested in attending, should contact Mindy Handberg,
Director of Community Partnerships, Mounds View Public Schools, 651.621.6094,
mindv.handberq(a�moundsviewschools.orq.
Discussion:
Provide feedback and recommend local manufacturing companies who may be interested in
participating in this program.
Recommendation:
EDC to hear the presentation and offer any suggestions and/or contacts of local manufacturing
companies that may be interested in participating in the program and spread the word.

1. MV Public School's Gen Z Manufacturing Program FAA's
Mounds View Public School's Gen Z Manufacturing Program FAQs
What is the Gen Z program?
Gen Z is an opportunity for employers to connect with high school students, from both
Mounds View and Irondale High Schools, who are interested in learning and exploring
opportunities in the field of manufacturing. Mounds View Public Schools (MVPS) has
received a grant to create a paid, hands-on, experiential internship program for four
students at four local manufacturers during the summer of 2020.
What are the advantages to employers in participating?
Manufacturers throughout the state have reported an increasing number of unfilled
positions, as well as significant challenges in finding qualified and trainable employees
to fill these positions. Many businesses are overwhelmed by the work required to
connect with schools by providing field trips, job shadowing, or classroom presentations.
With this program, MVPS will support manufacturers by selecting well -qualified, "good
fit" student interns and providing related instruction for the students.
Related instruction includes enrollment in at least one of the following MVPS courses:
• Introduction to Engineering Design 1 & 2
• Digital Electronics
• How to Make Almost Anything
• Construction & Solar Energy
• Welding 101
• Auto Technology 1 & 2
• Small Engines & Power Sports Mechanics
Why was this learning model chosen?
We will be building on an existing program that was developed in the White Bear Lake
School District in 2017 with significant input from industry partners and educational
collaborators. Students have participated in paid, hands-on, experiential learning
experiences at area manufacturers. To date, a total of 24 White Bear Lake students
have completed this program, leading to several direct hires of graduates. It's a program
model that has a proven track record, testimonials, and community support, and has
been recognized statewide with the 2017 Economic Development Association of
Minnesota's Partnership Award.
How will the program be structured?
During the spring of 2020, MVPS will solicit applications from students and will select
four candidates to participate, based on student interest, participation in related
coursework, and teacher recommendations. During the summer of 2020, this cohort of
four students will rotate between four area manufacturers, spending four days each
week at each site. Four hours each morning will be spent on -site at the manufacturer. In
addition, students will spend two afternoons a week at one of the high schools working
on related skills and OSHA certification. The four -week term begins the week of June 8
and continues through July 16 with time off during the July 4th holiday.
What are the employers' responsibilities?
Employers must review and complete the Youth Skills Training program approval
documents --https://www.dli.mn.gov/business/workforce/yst-program-approval -- which
formalizes the following commitments:
• pass an inspection from a DOL safety representative before being approved to
participate in the program.
• comply with all child labor laws, which have been relaxed slightly for industries to
allow for student learners - aged 16 and 17 - to perform a version of regular work.
• contact their insurance provider to obtain approval for 16- and 17-year-old student
learners to participate in paid internships (Ramsey County covers workers
compensation for the students). See below.
• determine the safety training and supervision required for students
• work with the schools to create a student work plan
• collaborate with schools to provide input about industry -related curriculum, if
applicable.
• work with the schools to determine meaningful industry credentials and certifications
• provide student learners with the opportunity to experience and learn about the
industry
• provide training for the employees who will work with student learners; and
• pay students for all hours worked (each manufacturer will be asked to pay a total of
$1,000 to cover student wages and FICA). Although Ramsey County does process
the payroll, industry partners are responsible for wages.
What will be covered by the grant?
• Payroll: The grant includes a partnership with Ramsey County whereby the students
are employed by the county and covered by the county's worker's compensation
program. All payroll tasks will be handled by Ramsey County, however the wages and
FICA are provided by the industry partners.
• Program Video: A video will be produced highlighting the internship experiences and
will serve as a marketing tool for the participating schools and manufacturers. White
Bear Lake's videos have brought tremendous interest to their program; to see the 2018
and 2019 videos, go to https://www.vhedc.com/genz/
• Partnership website: A website will be developed for all partner schools covered by
the grant to showcase the work of the partnership and serve as a primary tool for
communication and marketing.
• Opening and closing events: The grant will fund opening and closing events for
student interns, family members, manufacturers, and interested future student
participants.
• Outreach support services: The grant includes funds to hold one event each year to
promote the MVPS manufacturing curriculum and the Gen Z program.
• OSHA certification: The grant covers the $80 per student online OSHA Certification
Course.
• Transportation: Students are responsible for their own transportation, but funding is
available for gas/bus cards.
Program Dates:
June 8 through July 16, with a two week break during the July 4th holiday.
Closing ceremony: July 16.
How can my company participate? How can I learn more?
Please contact Mindy Handberg, director of community partnerships, at
mindy.hand berg(a..moundsviewschools.org or 651-621-6094. A kick-off breakfast for all
interested manufacturers will be held December 3, 2019, 8 to 10 a.m., at Jimmy's Food
& Drink, 1132 County Road E, Vadnais Heights.

B. Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) Development Update
In late spring of 2019 project engineers were in the process of plans for mass grading, utility installation,
and primary roadways on the site. This work was slated to be completed in 2019. Initially, the first
phase of housing and early commercial construction was expected to begin in 2021 and when fully
realized, the mixed -use development was expected to offer 1,460 housing units, support at least 4,000
living -wage jobs, and generate approximately $8.6 million in property taxes annually. However, the
County has decided not to participate with the City of Arden Hills and has filed a lawsuit against the
City. Therefore, all timelines and plan are on hold until further notice.

E. Skyline Motel
The EDA has completed the demolition of the Skyline Motel and a wetland delineation study. A small
wetland was found in the lower depression on the North side of the site. Public Works is getting their
street sweeper tailings tested to determine if they can be used to fill the depression and still be able to
support a structure. In the meantime staff has been in regular contact with approximately 10 developers
who are interested in the site. Products range from senior housing, workforce housing, a hotel, and
industrial products. We have also talked to tap room business that would be willing to partner with one
or two developers that may be considering the site. Bauer Welding is cooperating with the City and
won't sign a Letter of Intent unless the City is also in agreement. Bauer Welding has indicated that they
would like to keep a portion of the lot for future expansion slated to begin within two years.
