MINUTES FOR THE EDA MEETING OF JANUARY 10, 2011 <br /> Phil Klein called the meeting to order at 8:39 am. <br /> PRESENT: Jan Arcand, Jim Bever Tom Denaway, Mike Granger, and Phil Klein. <br /> ABSENT: Fran Miron <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR THE EDA MEETING OF OCTOBER 11, 2010 <br /> Denaway made motion, Granger seconded, to approve minutes for the EDA meeting of <br /> December 13, 2010. <br /> All aye. Motion carried. <br /> BRIAN WURZER—COUNTRY VIDEO <br /> Brian Wurzer the owner of Country Video located at 14869 Forest Boulevard wrote a <br /> letter to the City with concerns on the downtown area and economic development. Mr. <br /> Wurzer was invited to attend the EDA meeting and unfortunately was unable to attend. <br /> Mike Ericson provided the EDA with background on the letter and his discussions with <br /> Mr. Wurzer. The main concern in the letter was the increase in his property taxes. <br /> Commercial properties were reevaluated in 2008 and the value for this property increased <br /> therefore increasing the property taxes. The property is currently being marketed for sale. <br /> Granger was concerned about the value of the property since the property was so small. <br /> Denaway stated that the dollar per square foot is consistent with other properties in the <br /> downtown and that the value seems ok. He also stated that the tax rate for the City has <br /> gone down for the past several years. Bryan Bear stated that the property taxes for the <br /> City owned commercial property in downtown has also increased. <br /> Bever stated that he agrees with Mr. Wurzer and that he would like to see lighting and <br /> landscaping in the downtown. Bryan Bear stated that staff understands the concerns, but <br /> Highway 61 is not complete and is expected to be expanded in the future. If all the <br /> lighting and landscaping is constructed it would need to be removed and relocated at that <br /> time. Granger and Bever agreed but wanted to make sure the EDA put this on their goals <br /> for 2011. Both agreed that the roadway improvements for 2010 made the downtown <br /> looks significantly better than what it was previously. <br /> DISCUSSION ON 2011 EDA GOALS <br /> Staff has put together the 2011 goals that were discussed at the December EDA meeting. <br /> The EDA reviewed the goals that were set at the December meeting and provided <br /> feedback to staff. The EDA goals will be forwarded to the City Council for their January <br /> 18, 2011, goal setting session. <br />
