ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AURTHORITY
Meeting Minutes -Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Present: EDA Board Members Carolyn Yaggie-Heinen, Ken Jacobson, AI Rassier, Tom Skahen
and Dale Wick.
Absent: None.
Also present: Lori Bartlett, Finance Director and EDA Consultant Cynthia Smith -Strack of
Municipal Development Group.
Chairperson Wick called the June 25, 2008 regular meeting of the St. Joseph EDA to order at
3:00 p.m.
Agenda.
Chairperson Wick introduced the agenda. No changes were requested.
Moved by Jacobson, seconded by Rassier to approve the agenda as presented. 5-0.
Approval of Minutes.
Chairperson Wick introduced the minutes from the May 28, 2008 regular meeting.
Motion by Rassier, second by Skahen to approve the minutes from the May 28, 2008 regular
meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
EDA Accounts Payable.
Wick introduced the topic. Wick noted accounts payable for the month totaled $2,387.56 for
contract, phone, and mailing expenses.
Motion by Jacobson, second by Wick to approve the EDA accounts payable for the month of
June 2008 in the amount of $2,387.56. Motion carried 5-0.
Financial Report.
Wick introduced the agenda item and Finance Director Bartlett. Bartlett reported typical
information contained in the monthly financial reports has become increasingly complex. Bartlett
noted she, Weyrens, and Strack had discussed the issue following input from two City Council
Members. The result of the discussion was to refine reports to illustrate financial information in a
more user-friendly fashion. Therefore, future reports wilt be more concise and precise. Expense
items will be reported as of the close of the previous month mid-month data. Bartlett noted that a
negative balance in a revenue report indicated revenue that exceeded what was budgeted and
did not indicate a shortfall in revenue.
The EDA reviewed the April and May financial reports with Bartlett answering questions as they
arose.
Motion Rassier, Second Skahen to approve the April/May 2008 and May/June 2008 financial
reports as presented. Motion carried 5-0.
2007 Audit
Chairperson Wick called attention to the 2007 Audit Reports contained in the EDA packet:
balance sheet and statement of revenues/expenditures with resulting fund balance.
Bartlett reviewed the statements for Fund 150, 155, 156, 157, and 250. Bartlett noted the EDA
was asked to spend down the balance in Fund 150 in 2007. The balance remaining in Fund 150
at the close of the year totaled $29,175 a net decrease of $34,166.
Bartlett called the EDA's attention to the sizable balance in Fund 157 (TIF 1~1, St. Joseph
DevelopmenWicWest). Bartlett noted she had researched the balance at the request of Strack.
Her research revealed an error in processing the payment by the County in 2005 which resulted
in over-payment for the District. The error was caught by City staff in 2005 and the County was
notified of the error. The overpayment, however, was not returned to the County for redistribution
due to the fact an invoice was not received. Bartlett noted she had spoke with the County
regarding reimbursement earlier in the week and had drafted a report documenting a need to
reimburse the County $20,624.97. The reimbursement will be drawn from the balance in Fund
157. The County will redistribute the reimbursement between the city, county and school district.
Motion Heinen, Second Jacobson to approve disbursement to Stearns County from Fund 157
balance in the amount of $20, 624.97 and recommend the City Council do the same. Motion
carried 5:0.
Preliminary Budget - 2009
Wick introduced the agenda item. Strack stated preliminary budget worksheets for Fund 150
(General EDA Fund), Fund 155 (TIF 1-3, Borgert), Fund 156 (TIF 1-4, Vicwest), Fund 157
(Millstream Shops & Lofts), and Fund 250 (Revolving Loan Fund) were included in the packet.
Strack reported: The proposed 2009 EDA operating (Fund 150) budget is slightly less than the
actual 2008 budget. The proposed budget assumes a contract extension with the EDA Director
versus a staff level Community Development Director. The proposed budget includes $8,250 for
membership dues to the St. Cloud Area Economic Development Partnership.
Proposed anticipated revenues and expenditures for Fund 155 and 156 are based on actual
revenue/expenditures in previous years. Fund 157 forecasts are based on projections included in
the TIF Plan for 2-1. The accuracy of the forecasts is dependent upon the accuracy of the
projected estimated market value contained in the TIF plan. Fund 250: Revolving Loan Fund.
The 2007 audited fund balance is $50,528. The balance is available for loan to business
establishments which create jobs at livable wages.
Wick noted the St. Cloud Area Partnership had voted not to increase dues for 2009; therefore, the
dues line attributed to the SCAEDP in Fund 150 could be reduced from $8,250 to $8,000.
Motion Rassier, Second Heinen to approve the preliminary budget for 2009 and forward to the
City Council for consideration. Motion carried 5:0.
Capital Improvement Plan - 2009 to 2013.
Wick introduced the agenda item. Wick noted that in conjunction with preparation of the 2009
budget, the 2009-2013 Capital Improvement Plan is being reviewed.
Strack noted the CIP includes budget priorities for capital purchases, improvements, etc. over the
next five years. Last year the EDA requested capital improvement allocation in the amount of
$7,500 for commercial redevelopment and rehabilitation and $7,500 for a proposed
architectural/design services matching grant program. Strack requested input on the CIP request
form included in the EDA packet.
Rassier suggested the EDA seek $7,500 each year for improvements within the Downtown.
Jacobson suggested the amount be increased so as to have a larger, more visible return on
investment. Heinen supported Jacobson's idea. Strack questioned whether a larger amount like
$60,000 per year would be considered reasonable by the City Council and the public. Rassier
EDA Minutes -June 25, 2008 2
noted the amount wouldn't be extravagant if programs were appropriately defined and
administered.
Jacobson suggested each year a different commercial or industrial area be targeted for
incentives, e.g. downtown in 2009, highway commercial in 2010, and industrial areas in 2011, etc.
Jacobson suggested if one area didn't participate fully the incentives could be transferred to other
areas as 'secondary' priorities. Jacobson stressed the need for funding participation by the City.
Wick expressed support for a larger CIP request if the request was in loan versus grant form. The
EDA further discussed the concepts of loan and grant. The Board agreed additional detail and
discussion regarding CIP requests was needed. The Board directed Strack to further define
potential programs for consideration at the July meeting.
Fee Comparison
Chairperson Wick introduced the agenda item and noted the following items were included in the
EDA packet: Comparative fees for Albany, Avon, Cold Spring, and St. Joseph; two development
scenarios with fees from each of the four communities applied; real estate tax comparisons for
the four cities; comparison of fees for several other communities and St. Joseph completed in
2004; and information regarding the storm water utility.
The EDA noted fees in St. Joseph appeared to be on par with other communities.
Downtown Update
Wick initiated discussion on the topic. Strack informed the EDA that following the May meeting a
letter was mailed to Father Feders at the Church of St. Joseph regarding working together to
enhance a street corner. Strack noted Father Feders phoned her and requested a meeting
regarding the subject be delayed until mid-July to allow focus on 4th of July celebration and end of
the budget year for the church.
Strack added that following the previous EDA meeting Board Member Jacobson proposed the
EDA review the possibility of gaining `buy in' from property owners via an interesting approach.
Jacobson noted many draftspersons and architects are actively looking for projects during this
period of slow growth. Jacobson suggested calling on businesses in the downtown with such
professionals. The purpose of the visit would be to address potential (moderate) facade
improvements for each building. The EDA discussed the possible project and directed Strack to
arrange meetings with three business owners in the downtown over the next month. The meeting
team is to include adraftsperson/architect, the building official, and a design professional.
Comprehensive Plan Update -Future Land Use Map.
Wick introduced the agenda item stating that the CPU process was continuing. Strack referenced
the maps contained in the packet. Rassier stated he did not support treating all arterial and/or
collector streets alike in terms of greenways/transportation overlays since each roadway in each
area was different. The EDA supported presentation of both maps for future discussion in
conjunction with the plan.
Director's Report
Wick noted the report contained in the packet.
Board Member Reports
Skahen reported Sunset Manufacturing is contemplating the addition of a second shift.
Wick reported he attended the League of Minnesota Cities Conference at which he joined
discussions regarding economic development. Wick intends to provide the EDA with additional
information mailed to him as a result of the Conference.
EDA Minutes -June 25, 2008 3
Wick further requested that Business Retention and Expansion surveys/visits be added to
projects in 2009.
Adjournment.
Motion by Rassier, Second by Heinen to adjourn the regular EDA meeting. Motion carried 5:0.
Meeting adjourned at 4:35 PM.

EDA CIP PROGRAM REQUESTS
2009
1. "LET'S GO DOWNTOWN" REVITALIZATION PROJECT
PURPOSE S BACKGROUND
The goal of this effort is to create an identifiable destination area of local and regional
interest by promoting a sense of place and ambiance in a united, revitalized and viable
core of the City. The effort is framed in the context of a national renaissance in
downtowns and re-emergence of traditional neighborhood design driven by a desire to
reconnect with the building blocks of community including: shared history, hometown
pride, and small town atmosphere.
The project has been operational since 2005. One of the core principles of this effort has
been and will continue to be this is a long-term endeavor that must be supported by the
community and its leadership. Much progress has been made, but a greater portion of
the effort remains.
As you may be aware, the work group chairpersons discussed moving onto the next
phase of this process. A celebration of progress was held and a downtown project work
plan prioritization survey was mailed to all work group participants. Results of the survey
centered on the following goals:
/ Installation of planters, benches and trees on both sides of the downtown streets.
/ Defining a small, public space possibly incorporating a fountain, an information
kiosk, benches, small gathering space, and plantings to address the 'linger'
deficit. Such an area could provide a respite for shoppers, an area for picture-
taking for weddings, public space for 4~' of July festivities/pertormances, and an
area for holiday displays.
The EDA has corresponded with Father Feders at the Church of St. Joseph regarding the
second goal. Additional discussion is anticipated.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $20,000 in 2009 for the establishment of gathering space(s) within the
downtown which may include: benches, a fountain, a kiosk, plantings, etc.
2. BUSINESS FACADE GRANT OR LOAN PROGRAM
PURPOSE 8. BACKGROUND
In 2008 the EDA/Council pursued a pilot grant program relating to enhancing facades
within business districts. The goal of the effort was to promote fagade and public
landscape improvements consistent with design guidelines approved by the City in 2007.
The BFA grant program currently provides matching funds up to $1,000 for
reimbursement of architectural, drafting, or design services in conjunction with
commercial exterior fagade improvements and/or landscaping viewed from public rights
of way. The BFA grant has generated numerous requests for information, however, only
two applications have been reviewed and approved thus far in 2008.
Those inquiring about the BFA program indicate their interest would be stronger if the
proceeds of the program could be used for actual facade improvements versus
architectural services.
The EDA would like to convert the program to a matching grant (or loan) for actual facade
reconstruction costs, to a maximum of $2,000 per property owner (grant) .The focus of
the program in 2009 would be within the Central Business District to leverage "let's Go
Downtown" efforts.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $10,000 in 2009 for redefinition of the BFA grant program. The CIP
allocation would fund five (5) pilot projects.
In the event five pilot projects were not proposed for the downtown, the program could be
expanded to include existing structures within the commercial area adjacent to Hwy. 75
or the industrial district.
3. CONVERSION OF SINGLE FAMILY STUDENT RENTAL UNITS WITHIN THE CBD TO
PARKING ANDIOR MINI-PARK
PURPOSE 8 BACKGROUND
The College of St. Benedict and St. Johns University are implementing afour-year on-
campus residency policy. The policy will result in vacancies in single family detached
dwellings currently rented by college students. The City estimates in excess of 100 such
units could become vacant. Several of the rental homes are clustered within the Central
Business District.
The Comprehensive Plan Update (currently on-going) is expected to embrace a need for
additional parking and green space within the Central Business District.
The pending rental home conversion appears to provide an opportunity for the City to
obtain property for conversion to public parking and public parks/trails.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $30,000 in 2009 for: (a) identification of potential parcels suitable for
public parking and/or park usage within the CBD, (b) creation of a public parking policy
including funding of such a provision, and (c) purchase of first rights of refusal for
properties if identified as crucial to the provision of public parking and/or park usage
within the CBD.

PARKING
PURPOSE 8 BACKGROUND
The College of St. Benedict and St. Johns University are implementing afour-year on-
campus residency policy. The policy will result in vacancies in single family detached
dwellings. currently rented by college students. The City estimates in excess of 100 such
units could become vacant. Several of the rental homes are clustered within the Central
Business District. The Comprehensive Plan Update (currently on-going) is expected to
embrace a need for additional parking and green space within the Central Business
District. The pending rental home conversion appears to provide an opportunity for the
City to obtain property for conversion to public parking and public parksttrails.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $20,000 in 2013 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public
parking purposes.
