RE: EDA Budget — 2011
Capital Improvement Plans for 2011
Background
The City's Finance Director, Lori Bartlett has convened the 2011 budget process. The EDA must
submit a preliminary budget to the City Council for consideration at budget workshop(s) in August. A
preliminary budget will be adopted and certified to the County in September and a final budget to be
adopted in December, 2010.
Attached is a worksheet illustrating a preliminary budget for the EDA Fund 150, TIF Funds, and the
Revolving Loan Fund for your review and comment. Please note the budget illustrates expenses only
and not revenue. Please also note the budgets for the TIF funds and the Revolving Loan Fund do
not feature itemized expenses as these budgets are simply `pass through' and not capitalized by
transfers from the General Government Fund.
Finally, please note the line item for staff and /or professional services in Fund 150 mimics that of last
year. As you are aware copious amounts of time have been spent in the previous year discussing
the merits of staffing and the EDA. It's likely this discussion will again be on -going as the budget
approval process is followed.
Also attached is a worksheet relating to the EDA's Capital Improvement Plan for 2011 for Board
Member review and consideration. I'm also attaching a copy of the 2011 CIP itemized workplan as
created in 2009 for your information.
Action:
The EDA is asked to recommend a preliminary budget for 2011 to the City Council. In addition, the
EDA is asked to recommend a preliminary CIP budget for 2011 to the City Council. MOTIONS to
approve such recommendations are in order.

EDA CIP PROGRAM REQUESTS
For budget year 2010 -2014
"LET'S GO DOWNTOWN" REVITALIZATION PROJECT
PURPOSE & 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 �rovide a respite for shoppers, an area for picture- taking for weddings, public
space for 4` of July festivities /performances, 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. The City Council
approved $10,000 for 2009.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $35,000 in 2011 for the establishment of streetscape amenities linking the
CBD /downtown to the Wobegon Trail Center. Such amenities may include common design
elements, banners, directional signage, information displays, public art, and the like.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $30,000 in 2012 for initial costs associated with relocation of power /telephone
cables. If relocation is not possible, identification of a more visually interesting treatment of
overhead wire canopy. Remaining CIP funds would be used to being employing traffic calming
devices at the intersection of College Avenue and Minnesota Street providing greater separation
between pedestrians and motorists.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $30,000 in 2013 for the installation of a connection between both sides of
Minnesota Street such as an arch over the alley between Loso's and the old First State Bank
Building and a corresponding feature /arch across the street as envisioned by the Minnesota
Design Team's visit many years ago.
EDA CIP PROGRAM REQUESTS
For budget year 2010 -2014
BUSINESS FACADE GRANTOR LOAN PROGRAM
PURPOSE & 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 facade 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 facade
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. The City Council did not fund any facade grants for 2009.
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.
PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
The purpose and background of this item is defined in Section 2 of the 2009 CIP request. The
2010 requested allocation would shift the program focus from the CBD to the Highway 75
Business District.
The program would allow a matching grant for facade reconstruction costs and /or installation of
landscaping in areas visible from the public right of way. The maximum grant would be $2,000
per property owner. Program funds not used in the Highway 75 Business District would be offered
to owners of industrial buildings or owners of business establishments in the CBD.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $10,000 in 2010 for the redefined BFA grant program. The CIP allocation
would fund five (5) projects.
PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
The purpose and background of this item is defined in Section 2 of the 2009 CIP request. The
2011 requested allocation would shift the program focus from the CBD and Highway 75 Business
District to industrial districts.
The program would allow a matching grant for facade reconstruction costs and /or installation of
landscaping in areas visible from the public right of way. The maximum grant would be $2,000
per property owner. Program funds not used in industrial areas would be offered to owners of
business establishments within the CBD and the Highway 75 Business District.

EDA CIP PROGRAM REQUESTS
For budget year 2010 -2014
CONVERSION OF SINGLE FAMILY STUDENT RENTAL UNITS WITHIN THE
CBD TO PARKING AND /OR MINI -PARK
PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
The College of St. Benedict and St. Johns University are implementing a four -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. The City Council approved
$10,000 for the downtown rental conversions.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $30,000 in 2010 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public parking
purposes.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $15,000 in 2011 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public parking
purposes.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $20,000 in 2012 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public parking
purposes.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $20,000 in 2013 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public parking
purposes.
EDA CIP PROGRAM REQUESTS
For budget year 2010 -2014
EXTENSION OF COLLECTOR STREET - SECTION 9
PURPOSE & BACKGROUND
The EDA's 2008 Work Plan and the updated Economic Development Section of the
Comprehensive Plan embrace proactive participation by /between the Planning Commission, Park
Board, EDA, and City Council in preparing for the County's construction of the CSAH 2 to CSAH
3 roadway segment in 2009. The definition of "proactive participation" included discussion of the
timing of extension of a collector roadway servicing a future commercial /industrial area within the
general area of the new roadway.
The subject future collector street is
approximately '/4 mile in length and
extends westerly from the future N/S minor
arterial CSAH 2 roadway.
The subject roadway is included in the St.
Joseph Transportation Plan and contained
within an `area of change' as defined by
the Comprehensive Plan update. The
subject roadway will allow the
development of shovel ready commercial
and industrial nodes developed with easy
access and preferential visibility from 1 -94.
PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS
The EDA requests $20,000 in 2010 for
design of the roadway.
