JOSEPH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AURTHORITY Meeting Minutes -Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Present: EDA Board Members Ken Jacobson, AI Rassier, Tom Skahen, and Dale Wick. Absent: Carolyn Yaggie-Heinen. Also present: EDA Consultant Cynthia Smith -Strack of Municipal Development Group. Chairperson Wick called the October 22, 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 Skahen, seconded by Wick to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 4-0. Approval of Minutes. Chairperson Wick introduced the minutes from the September 24, 2008 regular meeting. Motion by Jacobson, second by Skahen to approve the minutes from the September 24, 2008 regular meeting. Motion carried 4-0. EDA Accounts Payable. Wick introduced the topic. Wick noted accounts payable for the month which totaled $2,362.58 for contracted services. Motion by Wick, second by Jacobson to approve the EDA accounts payable for the month of October 2008 in the amount of $2,362.58. Motion carried 4-0. Financial Report. Wick introduced the agenda item. Wick noted the packet included financial reports. Strack referenced the Treasurer's Report which illustrated year to date expenses of $26,647.96 and a current fund balance of $30,930.56. Motion Jacobson, Second Rassier to approve the September 2008 financial reports as presented. Motion carried 4-0. BFA Grant: Randy Schmitz, Scenic Specialties Wick introduced the agenda item. Strack noted the EDA had received an application for the Business Fagade Architectural (BFA) Grant Program from Randy Schmitz, the owner of Scenic Specialties. The 2008 pilot program was designed to accommodate up to five projects totaling $1,000 each. The matching grant is for architectural services relating to fagade redevelopment or landscape visible from public rights of way. The EDA has previously committed to four projects, three of which have not requested reimbursement at this time. The fourth project funded was for a building that the EDA 'design team' visited resulting in the creation of line drawings for potential fagade enhancement. Mr. Schmitz is applying for BFA grant assistance in conjunction with the improvement of exterior facades of two 100-year old buildings. The project will include installation of new windows, doors, and repainting. The goal is to design the fagade enhancements to be consistent the time period during which they were constructed. Additional landscaping surrounding the facades will also be contemplated. The project will positively contribute to revitalization efforts by restoring two buildings that are each over 100 years old. The restoration would be sympathetic to the era when the buildings were constructed. The project will also include additional landscaping which will be visible from the public right of way. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The landscape/remodel design will occur over the winter months with construction and installation of landscaping completed in 2009. Motion by Skahen, second by Jacobson to approve BFA grant application for Scenic Specialties. Motion carried 4-0. Conversion of Student Rentals Wick introduced the agenda item. Strack stated that since the September EDA meeting several tasks had been completed. Strack met with Representatives from the Stearns County HRA with the following results: the HRA is very interested in partnering with the City regarding conversion of units and will be a technical resource and a partner in the project. Direct ways the HRA could assist the project include SCDP grant writer and administrator, down payment assistance, MHFA program access, and property ownership potential. In addition Strack contacted CURA at the U of M and Dr. Mary Edwards at SCSU regarding an economic impact study. CURA is unable to match a graduate student with the project. Dr. Edwards has graduate students available and estimates the study would cost $1,500. Information has been assembled to assist with the economic impact study. Research conducted since the September meeting reveals other institutions converting to a four- year residency requirement have offered programs where the college assists with down payment and/or provides staff bonuses for moving into student rentals vacated as a result of a residency change. In addition other institutions have met with owners of student rental units on a regular basis to facilitate exchange of information in a direct manner. In another effort an inventory of student rental units is underway. The effort will assist in defining what future use may be most appropriate for each property. The EDA discussed the project including: when/how to get property owners involved, when/how to involve the college/university, and whether or not to pursue a economic impact study. Skahen suggested the scheduling of a meeting with the college/university occur at a later date following the receipt of additional information. Jacobson suggested approaching student rental property owners only after options for potential conversions of property were known. The EDA directed a working draft of the property inventory be presented at the November meeting for discussion. The EDA will discuss potential re-uses andlor conversian of rental property to different uses. The EDA discussed the fee for development of economic impact analysis by a graduate student from St. Cloud State University. Dr. Mary Edwards, Professor of Economics and Director of the Minnesota Economic Development Center estimates the cost for such a study would be approximately $1,500. The EDA discussed the type of study and potential outcomes and whether or not it would be appropriate to meet with the graduate student(s) at the November meeting. Motion by Skahen, second by Wick to authorize $1,500 for an Economic Impact Study to be conducted by graduate students from St. Cloud State University. Motion carried 4-0. Graduate student(s) conducting the study will be asked to attend the November EDA meeting. EDA Minutes -October 22, 2008 ~ 2 i Comprehensive Plan Update Wick introduced the agenda topic, Strack distributed revised future land use maps. The EDA reviewed large-scale maps and noted a few changes to Map 4-6 appeared to be in order. Changes to the map addressed included: adjusting boundaries of the Central Business District to reflect current boundaries, reassignment of a portion of the CBD adjacent to Highway 75 as commercial, and reassignment of some areas in Planning District Nine from high density residential to original townsite residential. The Board noted that Chapter Ten (Economic Development) was updated in 2007 and just reformatted to fit into the revised 2008 update. Board Member Reports Wick noted the City Council had held a final hearing on the proposed 2009 budget. The EDA's capital improvement program request for $60,000 had been reduced to $20,000. The decrease was due in part to the balance in Fund 150. The council expects the EDA will be able to draw down the fund balance in 2009. Wick announced that although it was not official at this time, he was asked to join the Executive Board of the St. Cloud Area Economic Development Partnership. Adjournment. Meeting adjourned by consensus at 4:06 PM. EDA Minutes -October 22, 2008 fJ ~ CITY OF ST.

CITY OF ST. OS~PH 1 WWw.cityof stjoseph.com DATE: November 19, 2008 MEMO TO: Economic Development Authority Administrator FROM: Cynthia Smith-Strack Municipal Development Group ~..; , ~udy ~Ueyrens ~ RE: Economic Impact Study -Rental Conversion :r~4 '~4' .. Mayor A! Rassier Background The EDA continues to move forward with proactively responding to a pending change in on- campus residency requirements espoused by the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University. Councilors Steve Frank At the October EDA meeting the Board discussed funding a study by SCSU graduate students measuring the economic impact of the Rick Schultz on-campus residency change. The EDA approved up to $1,500 for the study and requested the graduate students be invited to the N b Renee Symanietz ovem er EDA meeting. ;, Dale ~U' ick Since the October meeting, the potential study has evolved as additional information has surfaced. Most notably, the preliminary cost estimate discussed in O t b h c o er as changed. Dr. Edwards after reviewing the scope of the project and meeting with students she has refined the estimate to $3,000. In addition, requests for additional input from the EDA have been put forth. After reviewing initial documents Dr. Edwards and the graduate students have indicated they we would be . willing to conduct the study based on the data from the 2001 impact analysis of CSB/SJU; however, they don't believe that it would be in the EDA's best interest. That's due to the fact the 2001 study covers more than St. Joseph and Collegeville, including area from St. Cloud to Albany. Dr. Edwards notes that if the study finds a decrease in student spending in St. Joseph due to on campus residency, there would likely be an increase in spending by CSB/SJU to house them. If CSB/SJU purchases most foods from Apperts, or another group based in St. Cloud, the decrease in student spending in St. Joseph may well wash out the increase in spending by the two facilities if we use the same geographic area which would be required to be accurate. SCSU is willing complete a more comprehensive study of just the impact of CSB/SJU residency on St. Joseph itself. To do this, SCSU would need spending by zip code from the university and the college as well as any potential spending for construction of new dorms and ;z, cafeterias if needed. Study authors would also need to send a survey to the students, but such ~-~. surveys could go by email and an on-line survey group (like Survey Monkey) could provide the results to us in a digital format. Dr. Edwards will bring cost estimates for these potential additional services to the EDA meeting on November 26t". I've attached email correspondence exchanged between Dr. Edwards and I to this memo for your information.

If others have concerns, we can include those in the study as well. I am in complete agreement that this needs to be done accurately and with everyone on board so that.there are no complaints later. We do not want anyone to cry "fowl." Thanks, Mary Mary E.

Would it be alright to address these at the EDA meeting on the 26th? Please bring additional ideas & associated costs. In my opinion the study needs to be accurate, objective, and limited to St. Joseph and if that involves additional steps the EDA should commit to the result. I would like to include the EDA Board in the discussion so as to promote ownership of the study & results. The Board has recognized the study will bean important tool in securing project partners and grant funding to assist with conversions of uses. ~~ ;, http://webmail.bevcomm.net/hwebmail/mail/message.php?index=27478 11/19/2008 ;_:..

Edwards" Cynthia, We do have another question: Since there is a consistent number of students living on-campus, are these campuses planning to build additional dormitories? Also, we looked over the attachments that you sent and while we would be willing to do the study based on the data from the 2001 impact analysis of CSB/SJU, I don't think that would be in your best interest. Mainly, this is because that study covers more than St. Joseph and Collegeville. The cities surrounding St. Joseph and Collegeville range from St. Cloud to Albany. If we note the decrease in student spending in St. Joseph because they are all on campus, we need to note the increase in spending of CSB/SJU to house them. If the institutions purchase most of the food from Aperts, or another group based in St. Cloud, the decrease in student spending may well wash out the increase in spending by the two facilities if we use the same geographic area-and we would have to do so to be accurate. However, if you would like, we would be willing to do a more comprehensive study of just the impact of CSB/SJU on St. Joseph itself. To do this, we would need spending by zip code from the university and the college as well as any potential spending for construction of new dorms and cafeterias if needed. We would also need to send a survey to the students, but such surveys could go by email and an on-line survey group (like Survey Monkey) could provide the results to us in a digital format. If you would like I can cost out these additional items for you. Either way, we will need a contact person from whom to get information specific to SJU/CSR's spending per on-campus student. Would that be someone that your group could arrange, or would it be better if I approach someone after the contract is signed. Mary Mary E.

The technical inventory is attached to this memo. Councilors MDG Associate John Anderson wilt also attend the EDA meeting. John has completed Steve Frank portions of the technical inventory related to potential conversion options. John is a licensed Rick Schultz realtor with a Masters Degree in Urban Planning who worked in the public and private sectors Renee Symanietz prior to joining MDG. Dale DUick Our intent is to begin a methodical review of the technical inventory to firm up potential conversion options prior to moving forward any further. This will likely take more than one meeting since nearly 130 properties are included in the inventory. zs College Avenue North PO Box 668 Saint ~oseph, Minnesota 56374 phone 3ao.363.7zo1 Fax 320.363.o34Z 0 Z W Z F- Z Z W H Q a Q N W N J `Q r Z WN 1.1.

CITY OF ST. OSFPH l wvuW.cityof stjoseph.com DATE: November 19, 2008 Administrator MEMO TO: Economic Development Authority ~udy DUeyrens FROM: Cynthia Smith-Strack Municipal Development Group RE: Downtown Update Mayor AI Rassier Background: The Downtown Revitalization Project is on-going. Just a few brief updates for your information: Councilors Steve Frank 1. I've requested a meeting with the Parish Council regarding installing a display at the Rick Schultz southeast corner of College/Mn. (church parking lot). Renee Symanietz Dale DUick 2~ Randy Schmitz of Scenic Specialties is interested in assisting the City with downtown beautification. He is available to meet with the EDA regarding 'greening up' the downtown by employing planters and the like. 3. Colleen Petters from Millstream Shops and Lofts is proposing the placement of six to twelve banners on posts supporting a balcony on the building front. Banners are not currently addressed in the CBD signage regulations. Staff feels the banners are consistent with downtown pedestrian-oriented design and is recommending the Planning Commission consider including language in the zoning ordinance allowing placement of banners subject to certain standards. Action: This is for information only. zs College Avenue North PO Box 668 Saint ~oseph, Minnesota 56374 Phone 3zo.363.7z.oi Fax 3zo.363.o34z !J S THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK .. r a~.,, .t u,
