Renee Symanietz RE: Direction From City Council Regarding 2009 Goals
Dale Wick
Background:
As noted at the January meeting, the City Council, Department Heads and consultants held
a special meeting on February 10'h for the purpose of setting priorities for 2009. Among
items discussed were 2009 goals included in the EDA's annual report. Following is an
update on specific goals where the City Council was asked to prioritize and provide
direction.
Information presented at the meeting is attached for your information and background.
Following is a summary of results from the Council workshop.
PREPARE FOR CSAH 2I3 CONSTRUCTION
The EDA's priority for the past two years has been proactive participation with property
owners, potential investors, and elected/appointed officials in preparing for the County's
construction of the CSAH 2 to CSAH 3 roadway segment in 2009. As you know,
construction of the major roadway provides opportunity for increasing wealth within the
community.
Timing of extension of a collector roadway and municipal utilities for servicing future
commercial and industrial area within the general area of the new roadway is critical to
provision of shovel ready commercial and industrial sites.
The Council reviewed information related to the EDA goal, including:
^ Willing property owners/developers
^ Location, location, location
^ Opportunity to provide shovel ready lots
^ Provide trail loop DT, CSAH 2, to Wobegon
^ Opportunity to create high value west entryway into DT from new
CSAH 2 to 3`d Ave NW
^ Potential Industrial Park Partner Identified
Discussion/direction from CC Workshop: City Council indicated this is THE priority
issue. Focus on resolving issues related to annexation, then master plan site
concept and utility service. The City Council also directed the scope of the project at
this time be concentrated on getting municipal services to the north/south segment
of the new roadway. The Council appreciates the concept of a high value west
entryway into downtown but prefers to require aesthetic treatments as property
develops versus as part of a construction project. The Council also appreciates the
CITY OF ST. JOSEPH
w~~ W. cityo(stjoseph.com
benefits of a trail corridor, but would like that to be installed as development occurs
as well.
ADDRESS CSB/SJU RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
The Council reviewed information related to the EDA goal, including:
^ Opportunity to convert downtown properties
^ Opportunity to work with County HIZ4 to develop new housing
at increased density downtown
^ Opportunity to work with CSB on revamping north entrance to
campus
^ Opportunity to link downtown and Wobegon
Discussion/direction from CC Workshop: City Council indicated this was an issue on
which the EDA should continue work.
PARKWAY BUSINESS CENTER
The Council reviewed information related to this development and the 2009 EDA goals,
including:
^ Opportunity to provide shovel ready lots
^ Property pre-platted, Environmental Assessment complete for
plat portion
Discussion/direction from CC Workshop: City Council indicated this was a project
that was complete as far as the City could assist at this time. For example, utilities
are to the site, the City had offered to issue an assessment bond to install
improvements, and moving forward with the project was in the Developer's hands. In
the event one area was to be a priority for industrial/commercial lot development
from a marketability standpoint, the I-94 was thought to be more likely to sell more
quickly.
DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION
Some members of the City Council are skeptical about the progress being made on this
issue. Some also appear to confuse this issue with residential rental unit conversion.
Council Member Frank has indicated he'd like members of the St. Joseph Action Group to
advise the EDA regarding this matter, especially as it relates to grants for the project and/or
a `theme' for downtown.

The properties found to be available within the communities in the search area, included a total of 171.45
acres of industrial land and 106.06 acres of commercial land. The amount of industrial and commercial
land available per community included land under an acre in size for finished lots to over 120 acres for
raw land. The price of the land also varied depending on if it was a finished lot or if it was raw land.
Typically a finished lot was listed for a higher price than raw land and the industrial land was listed for less
than the commercial land. The overall average price for industrial land was listed for approximately $2.76
per square foot or $126,612 per acre and the price of land for commercial property was listed at $5.17 per
square foot or $226,006 per acre.
The following list illustrates the number of acres of industrial and commercial land available for each
community and the average cost per square foot and per acre. The industrial and commercial property
has been separated since there is a noticeable difference in price with between the two land uses with
commercial being more expensive.

WHAT ABOUT THE ECONOMY?
~ Economic downturn expected to continue in 2009.
* Employment predicted to contract -fewer jobs available
* Unemployment rates expected to rise -more people looking
* Recovery in home building and real estate markets probably more than one
year away
* 2008 manufacturing slowdown is continuing (rural Mn. more dependent)
* Ag producers had a good 2008; 2009 outlook is mixed (rural Mn. more
dependent)
* Inflation worries have lessened as energy prices have fallen
* Commodity prices have dropped
~ Despite concern nationally, credit is still widely available in the
Mpls. Fed. Res. Region
* Financial institutions report credit still widely available to businesses -enough
volume! There is not a credit crunch.
* Some tightening of credit standards -tighter credit doesn't mean credit
isn't available - it is; just better gaugiag of creditworthiness of applicant
8s more strings attached.
* Fewer businesses/individuals seeking credit
* Those that are seeking are less qualified

2007-09 RECESSION IN PERSPECTIVE
~k The 10 previous postwar recessions have ranged in length from 6 months
to 16 months, averaging about 10 1/2 months. The current recession
(started Dec. 2007)has surpassed the postwar average but length will only
be determined when it is over.
~x The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of
Economic Research determines the beginning and ending dates of U.S.
recessions. There is not a lucid definition.
~? The severity of a recession is determined in part by its length; but
perhaps more by the magnitude of the decline in employment and
economic output. Next two slides look at this recession 8v others in terms
of decline in employment & output.

SO, WHAT AGAIN DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THE ECONOMY?
KX These are not the best of times, but not the worst of times either ...Yet.
~ All ten post-WWII recessions have ended in periods of growth.
G The Country and our economic system survived even the Great
Depression.
t'x History and common sense tell us the economy will rebound, the world
will emerge intact from this crisis, & economic growth will again reign.
