Extension of Municipal District Boundary' Extension of the Municipal Boundary EDA Director Chad Carlson
presented a resolution of the Planning Commission recommending the extension of the Municipal District
Boundary. He stated that State Statute requires the Planning Commission to review all proposed expansion
areas in relation to the Comprehensive Plan of the City. The extension of the District is needed due to the
recent annexation and expansion plans of Borgert Products. The Boundary needs to be extended by 17 acres, to
encompass all the Borgert property.
Carlson clarified the following:
1. The total project is expected to be 4.8 million (1 million in building; 3.8 in equipment)
2. The maximum district term in 9 years, however, it is anticipated to be finished sooner.
3. The expansion will add approximately 8 new jobs with a salary range of $ 22,000 to $ 38,000
4. The proposed tax increment is a "pay-as-you-go" method
5. Local contribution is anticipated to be between $ 2,600 to $ 3,000. This contribution is not a cash
layout, rather a waiver of fees.
Carlson also stated that many of the above points will be included in the Developer's Agreement which will be
reviewed by both the City Council and Economic Development Authority.
There being no further comments or questions, Kalinowski made a motion to accept the following resolution
extending the Municipal District Boundary. Approval is recommended based on the booklet prepared by
Advanced Resources entitled: Development Program for Municipal Development District No. 1, dated
September 11,1998. The motion was seconded by Lesnick and passed unanimously by those present.
