for $750.
Petty stated that Kidz N' Biz is an expensive event to run, but that it's very popular. They ask for
funding from different entities and businesses to help put on this growing event. She stated that 38
businesses will be in attendance, with others still sponsoring but not attending.

All Ayes. Motion carried.
UPDATE ON THE FUTURE OF THE RAIL LINE
Bear gave the EDA an update on the current happenings of the rail line in Hugo. He stated that two bills
were introduced to the legislature related to the railroad. The first is a bonding request for 1.1 million
dollars for rail improvements. He reminded the EDA that the state legislature gave a smaller amount
last year for emergency improvements to allow the railroad to remain open up to this point. The current
request is to make the remaining improvements for the 6.5 miles of rail. He stated that this request has
received quite a bit of attention and support. The second bonding request is a 45 million dollar bill,
which would be spent over a 10 year period. This would establish a grant program for short line
railroads all over the state. Bear stated that this request has widespread support from counties, cities,
industrial organizations, chamber of commerce, railroads, etc. because this is an economic development
method of keeping business in Minnesota. Bear concluded the update by saying that the businesses in
Hugo are very thankful to the City for going through this process.
DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT

Staff stated there have not been any new leads on the City owned property in downtown. Staff continues
