At its July 11, 2011, meeting the EDA had a discussion on a concept, presented by the <br />BNI group, for an entrepreneur boot camp. The sessions would help small business and <br />entrepreneurs grow and create new businesses. Staff would like to provide the EDA with <br />an update on how the boot camp is moving forward in partnership with the Hugo <br />Business Association (HBA). <br />Graff made a motion, seconded by Bever, to have staff continue working the BNI and the <br />HBA on the boot camp. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />UPDATE ON FLEXIBLE OFFICE SPACE <br />Staff has been working with a property owner in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park on <br />flexible office space as an option when leasing the building. The property now has three <br />tenants and using the idea by creating separate office areas for the tenants in one space. <br />UPDATE ON CITY RENTAL PROPERTIES <br />Staff included the expense reports from September 2010 on the properties. <br />The print shop is rented out on a short term lease. The barber is vacating the property this <br />month. <br />Staff has walked through the rental house and it is in need of repairs before it can be <br />rented out again and out building will need to be removed. The repairs could be over <br />$5,000. When it was being rented out the City was making money, but there has been a <br />lot of staff time involved in maintenance and getting rent. If the building was demolished <br />the cost would be over $20,000. <br />Miron stated that the repairs will cost more than what the City is profiting. Klein stated <br />that the EDA talked about his last year and it may be more beneficial to demolish the <br />house. Denaway agreed and stated that the property seemed to be a liability. Miron stated <br />in the mean time the City needs to make sure the property is maintained, such as mowing <br />the lawn. <br />Staff will put together additional information on the properties and will bring it back to <br />the EDA. <br />UPDATE ON MIXED-USE REDEVELOPMENT LCDA GRANT <br />Staff updated the EDA on the progress of the LCDA grant for the Sampair property. The <br />application is complete for the Met Council review. One of the items that are requested <br />for the planning grant is the update of the Maxfield study. Denaway stated that was a <br />good idea to include that in the grant. Miron asked for an overview of the study at the <br />next EDA meeting. <br />UPDATE ON DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT <br />
