Re: Agenda
The minutes and bills payable will be sent out tomorrow under separate cover.
Please fmd in your packets the noise violation history for the property located at 314 Old Highway
52. As you are aware, when we receive a noise violation the files are reviewed for the past three.
Therefore, in your packet you will notice two prior noise violations for the property in question. As

9250 Noise Ordinance Violation D Narrative Report
Received a radio dispatch from Stearns County of a report of a loud party west
of the 8 plex apartments. Complainant told dispatch that the kids were coming
form the party and standing in their parking lot. Checked area and found the
loud party, with loud music and shouting that could be heard from the 8 plex,
at 314 Old 52. Talked to a female at the door who said she knew who was renting
the apartment. Joel Robert Starkecame out and stated he was a renter. Advised
him of the complaint and reminded him we had been there before. He
acknowledged, remebering that we had been there at least once in the past for
loud music. Several underage drinkers were also found and cited at the party.
Later two kegs were also removed. After Starke was cited, he and others came out
and stated they thought they could make noise until 2300. I advised that his
landlord would have to go before the council because of this violation. The
manager was called and I talked to his wife and advised her the same.

. Extract of the October 15, 1999 City Council Meeting
RE: Noise Violation Hearing - 314 Old IDghway 52
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the City Council for the City of St. Joseph met in regular session
on Thursday, October 15, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Kenneth J. Hiemenz; Councilors Bob Loso, Cory Ehlert, Mary
Niedenfuer, Ken Twit. Clerk! Administrator Rachel Stapleton.
OTHERS PRESENT: Judy Weyrens, Chad Carlson, Pete Lues, Jonnathan Wellmeier, Pete Klaphake,
Brian Tepler, Randy Matthews, Wendy Doyle, Ellen Wahlstrom, Jeff Young, Eric Mintuller, Chad
Carlson, Mike Deutz, Ted Schmid
NOISE VIOLATION HEARING: Mayor Hiemenz called to order a noise violation hearing to consider
a violation that occurred September 5, 1998 at 314 Old Highway 52. Officer Jeff Young, the responding
Police Officer to the complaint, discussed his findings on responding to the call. He stated there was
music, drinking and noise. He explained this was a noise violation and the process to the renters. On
Loso's asking if they cooperated'Young stated they did and no tickets were issued. On Ehlert's asking if
they were in violation of the Disorderly House Ordinance, Young stated they were not as there was no
underage drinking or such. The Property Manager, Randy Matthews spoke, He stated he has made
considerable improvements to the property and expects the renters to act responsibly. Additionally, the
. renters have a strong financial motive to prevent receiving any more violations, as they were required to
pay the full years rent up ITont. Therefore should there be a suspension of the rental license they would
lose that rent.
Loso made a motion to accept that a noise violation did occur as reported with this being considered a
first violation. This wi11 be considered a warning and further violations wi11 result in more severe
consequences. An administrative charge for the costs associated with the hearing wi11 be charged to the
property owner. The motion was seconded by Ehlert. Discussion - It was fortunate that there were no
minors on the premises as that could have resulted in a violation ofthe "Disorderly House Ordinance"
which is a misdemeanor.
Ayes: Hiemenz, Loso, Ehlert, Niedenfuer, Twit.
Nays: None. Motion carried.

l~j : Ii :
I, ¡:: Young, the responding Police Officer to the complaint, discussed his findings on responding to
the call. He stated there was music, drinking and noise. He explained this was a noise violation
..~ ~ f and the process to the renters. On Loso's asking if they cooperated Young stated they did and
no tickets were issued. On Ehlert's asking if they were in violation of the Disorderly House
, I Ordinance, Young stated they were not as there was no underage drinking or such. The Property
! i
"Ii Manager, Randy Matthews spoke. He stated he has made considerable improvements to the: '
I; property and expects the renters to act responsibly. Additionally, the renters have a strong
:t financial motive to prevent receiving any more violations, as they were required to pay the full.'
i,
I; , years rent up front. Therefore should there be a suspension of the rental license they would losê.<
~ that rent.
Loso made a motion to accept that a noise violation did occur as reported with this being
considered a first violation. This will be considered a warning and further violations will result
more severe consequences. An administrative charge for the costs associated with the hearing
will be charged to the property owner. The motion was seconded by Ehlert. Discussion - It was ',"-
fortunate that there were no minors on the premises as that could have resulted in a violation of
, the "Disorderly House Ordinance" which is a misdemeanor.

meeting. If a request for hearing is not received by the City Clerk/Administrator at least
seven days before the hearing, you will then be considered to have waived your right to
have an evidentiary hearing and no evidentiary hearing will be scheduled. A waiver of
this right to hearing will be equivalent to an admission of the basic allegation (5) alleged
herein and reported by the complaining party.
If you waive your right to hearing, or if an evidentiary hearing is conducted and the
Council determines that a violation did occur, then and in those events, the Council will
proceed immediately to consider a disposition, which may include
.

Mr. Randy Matthews

revocation or suspension of your rental license and/or a fine: Prior to the determination of
disposition, you or your designated representative may address the City Council and at the time of
disposition.
In the event of a revocation or suspension of your rental license, the premises must be vacated of all
renters, within thirty days of the Council action. Any rental occupancy occurring after that time may
result in criminal charges.
You have the right to be represented at the time of this meeting during either the evidentiary hearing,
if requested, or the dispositional hearing. If you wish to have legal representation, you must hire your
own attorney. If you have any questions regarding the law or your rights, I suggest that you contact
an attorney to discuss this matter.
Your failure to appear at this meeting will be considered an admission of the allegation and a waiver
of your right to address the Council before the determination of a disposition. If you fail to appear, the
Council will take whatever action is deemed appropriate and you will be notified of this action at a
later time.
Sincerely,
~ .

CLERK! FROM: Joähne Foust & Cynthi~ mith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
ADMINISTRATOR
Judy Weyrens RE: November Report
MAYOR
Larry J. Hosch Municipal Development Group has been interacting with a number of prospects throughout the
past month. The following is a summary of activities that have transpired.
COUNCILORS
Bob Loso Buettner Business Park:
Cory Ehlert MDG discussed the Business Park with Leo Buettner on several occasions: including November
1$\ 8th, 15th and 28th. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss pending projects, possible
Kyle Schneider amendments to the Protective Covenants, and ways to better communicate between MDG staff
Alan Rassier and the Park Owner.
Vic West Steel Project:
11-01-01 - MDG phoned VicWest and spoke to Thomas McCann regarding the status of the
project. McCann noted that they just submitted infonnation to the Board of Directors on 10-31-01
· and he would have more infonnation for us in about two weeks. MOO noted we would call in a
couple weeks to check back; He said he would appreciate that.
11-15-01 - MDG phoned VicWest and spoke to Thomas McCann regarding the Board of
Directors' response to the proposed project. McCann noted the Board is currently completing the
budget on another project and has not responded to the VicWest proposal yet. He anticipates
additional infonnation at the end of the month.
DBl - MCl - MCa Project:
Proposed Project: Expansion of MCO facility to accommodate consolidation of several facilities.
10-24-01 City staff was notified that DBL-MCO may be moving to St. Cloud. Property owner
Jerry Hirshfield also contacted MDG.
10-25-01 MDG, Strack, contacted Mike De La Vega regarding the project. De La Vega reported
decisions have been made. The lease is being renewed. Jerry Hirshfield contacted the city
noting the company may be moving to St. Cloud. Strack of MDG met with Jerry Hirshfield
regarding the status of the project and also discussed TIF projections with Juran and Moody.
10-26-01 MDG, Strack and Foust, met with Jerry Hirshfield and Bruce Gohman to discuss the
DBL Labs-MCO project. The group concurred that De La Vega should be contacted to verify
proposed building size, ownership versus lease arrangements for the proposed new building and
to provide an overview of financial assistance programs the City/EDA would offer.
10-30-01 MDG, Foust, contacted De La Vega. He noted the proposed building size is now
· 70,000 sq. ft. rather than the previously discussed 60,000 sq ft. MDG provided an overview of
financial assistance programs. De La Vega noted they may not be interested in state programs
due to the requirement to release company proprietary financial statements and confidentiality
concerns. MDG worked with Juran and Moody to update TIF projections based on the new e
building size and sent this infonnation to De La Vega along with a letter.
11-15-01 MDG phoned and left a message for De La Vega regarding receipt of the infonnation
relating to financial assistance programs and the revised TIF projections based on a larger
facility. Emphasized the EDA and City's desire to work with DBL-MCO on their expansion
project.
Confidential New Prospect:
Project: Expansion of business to the St. Joseph area. Includes a 12,000 square foot building
with assembly, distribution, showroom and offices. A separate commercial building is also
planned.
11-01-01 MDG met with the owner and discussed the Buettner Business Park lots and the Indian
Hills plat sites. The owner inquired about a local Revolving Loan Fund, tax increment financing,
zoning requirements (if they qualify as an industrial or highway commercial business).
Administrator Weyrens and Foust-MDG, concurred it is industrial. The company would relocate
20 employees from various office sites and use this as their company headquarters. They
anticipated 10 new jobs over the next 2 years. The Minnesota Investment Fund was discussed
along with TIF. MDG contacted DTED regarding qualifying for the MN Investment Fund. Carol
Presley-Olson will discuss it with Paul Mae and call back. The company may be interested in an
industrial lot north of Elm st. in St. Joseph Business Park. The owner noted he would store his
trucks indoors and likes to keep his site clean, therefore the lot adjacent to Highway 75, next to
the anny supplies and barbed wire is not appealing.
11-15-01 MDG called DTED to follow-up on the company's eligibility for the Minnesota .
Investment Fund. St. Joseph's DTED representative is out until 11-16-01. MDG called and left a
message for the owner of the company noting we are waiting on a response from DTED and
offered to assist with other plans in the interim.
Lisa Pfannestein:
Project: Lisa owns a Y:z home-based, Y:z warehouse (out of Lee's Hardware) business. She
makes candles and supplies them to 800 gift shops nationwide. She's planning to expand and
has been looking for a building.
11-01-01 MDG contacted Usa with updates on the and the asking price for Buettner Business
Park lots adjacent to HWý 75. Lisa noted $4 is out of their price range. She thought the lots north
of Elm Street would work as 75% of the building is manufacturing and warehousing. She noted
they are looking at a 2,000 sq. ft building as they are currently operating in a 1,200 to 1300 sq. ft.
building with space divided into sections making it inefficient. She noted she would continue to
look for alternative options. MOO noted we would do the same and keep in touch.
Highway Commercial - Confidential Prospect
10-25-01 MDG met with the owner regarding their potential expansion. The project is in the very
initial stages with the building size and number of employees unknown at this point. MOO
discussed the Minnesota Investment Fund program (low interest loan with a grant to the City), tax
increment financing and the project timeline. The owner is looking at land that would be annexed
into the city. He noted he will contact the city when his plans are more concrete.
INH Properties
The commercial real estate broker is looking for a site for a McDonalds in St. Joseph .
11-01-01 MDG called and left a message in Bobick's voice mail regarding the status of
project and outcome of meetings with property owners.
. 11-15-01 MDG called and left a message in Bobick's voice mail regarding the status of the
project and outcome of meetings with property owners.
American Legion:
11-01-01 MDG met with Jerry Frieler to discuss the legion's expansion plans. Jerry noted
they would like to construct a building 6,000 to 7,500 sq. ft. in size. He asked for assistance in
determining the minimum lot size they would need to accommodate the building, parking and
open space. The legion would like to sell the garage they bought. The lot size is approximately
66' x 160' except for the back 30'. The legion would be receptive to selling their building too and
constructing new if they can find another cost effective site ($1 per sq. ft range). He noted it does
not have to be directly on Hwy 75. MOG will calculate site needs and follow-up. Jerry will call
regarding sites in Indian Hills Park. He also inquired about the old Tom Thumb property on the
east side of the city and the Gill property (west of the city).
11-08-01 MDG prepared calculations of the site area requirements for a 6,000-7,500
square foot facility, located in a B-1 or B-2 zoning district and met with Frieler to discuss the
calculations.
Confidential Expansion Project:
10-25-01 MDG met with an existing commercial establishment regarding the possible
expansion of their facility. Additional employment positions are expected in conjunction with
expansion. MDG explained TIF and the Minnesota Investment Fund incentives. The project is
developing, however at this time the size of the expansion is unknown. MDG will remain in
contact with the company while they draft expansion plans.
. 11-08-01 MDG visited the expansion location and left a message for the business owner.
Confidential New Project:
11-8-01 MDG met with City Administrator Weyrens and a new prospect looking at purchasing two
acres of land in St. Joseph Township, contiguous with the city limits on two sides. Following a lot
split the developer will petition the city for annexation and submit plans for construction of a 3,000
square foot office facility. Information on the township, city zoning and community facilities was
provided to the developer.
Centra Care Clinic:
Project: Expansion or relocation of Centra Care facility.
11-15-01 MDG phoned and left a message for Mark Murphy regarding the status of their
expansion plans and offered to assist by providing additional information. Also inquired about the
proposed future use of the building the clinic is currently occupying if they proceed with their
proposed new construction.
Other activities:
· Reviewed data from 2001 to create the EDA's Annual Report for submission to City Council.
The EDA will review the report, make any changes and authorize submission of report to the
City Council at its 12-12-01 meeting.
· Attended SCAEDP meeting on 11-21-01.
· Met with Dave Gruenes, Steams Electric regarding possible incentives for DBl-MCa on 11-
21-01.
. · Packet preparation for 11-21-01 EDA meeting.
· Staff representative to the 11-21-01 EDA meeting.
.
. Began preparation of a new marketing tool which will be used to proactively market the St.
Joseph Business Park. The marketing tool will be a folder with detailed economic
development information (6 page layout) along with a community brochure and contact
information. The booklet can be mailed to commerciallindustrial realtors and developers in
the St. Cloud and Minneapolis-St. Paul metro areas. The information may also be useful for
marketing the park on the internet.
Supplemental Information
Attached you will also find information on the Minnesota Community Capital Fund (MCCF). This
is an opportunity the EDA wishes to investigate more fully. The MCCF program groups revolving
loan fund dollars in greater Minnesota to help create more viable RLF programs. Benefrts to the
City would be:
1. The ability to loan out ten times the amount of the City contribution to the MCCF as a
financial incentive for development prospects. For example if the City would choose
to participate in the program by placing $25,000 in the MCCF, it could offer a low
interest loan (Le. 2%) up to $250,000 in value to a development prospect.
2. The MCCF sells all loans to the secondary market immediately (day of closing). This
means the risk is transferred to the secondary purchaser (probably the Mn. .
Community Re-Investment Fund).
3. The MCCF Revolving Loan Fund is immediately replenished which means the City
can offer other development prospects low interest loans immediately.
The EDA has requested a representative from the MCCF attend an EDA meeting to more fully
explain the program and applicable administrative costs.
Next, some interesting information regarding the workforce in Central Minnesota was recently
released. Attached are a few pages which provide interesting data. The complete report can be
downloaded from the SCAEDP website.
Action:
No action is required at this time, except to note receipt of report.

.., Minnesota Community Capital Fund (MCCF)
· Proposed new financing tool for economic & housing development projects.
· Must become a member to access the fund.
· Originally targeted at communities with underutilized or maximized revolving loan funds, now
looking at all communities.
· Since City of St. Joseph does not have RLF would require a cash investment.
· MCCF is a non-profit organization but, the funding 'pool' has not been set up.
· MCCF is currently seeking letters of commitment from cities and development organizations.
· All contributing members (i.e. cities, development authorities) become members of the
corporation.
· Corporate business and affairs are conducted by a nine-member board made of
representatives from various classes of cities and membership classes.
· Benefits of membership:
. Members have the ability to originate loans up to ten times the amount of their
contribution to the fund (e.g. if EDA contributed $10,000 they could issue a loan of up
to $100,000.
. Risk-free and non-competitive: Loans are sold to secondary market on the date of
closing or within hours on the following day, therefore, RLF is replenished
immediately. Purchaser's in the secondary market shoulder burden of risk. Most
likely source in secondary market is the Community Reinvestment Fund which
specializes in purchasing economic development revolving loan fund issues.
· MCCF can be tapped for industrial, commercial or residential development projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) I
Throughout the MCCF concept development stage, interested individuals raised a number of questions concerning.
the workings of the Fund. While answers to many of these questions were not available at that time. the project
development team has subsequent1y addressed most, if not all of the~e issues, including the following FAQ's:
How large must Our organization or community be in order to become a MCCF member?
There is no minimum size eligibility requirement for organizations or communities to become members of the
MCCF. In fact, the Fund is designed for and encourages the participation of communities of all sizes, as weB as
multi-community and regional economic development organizations that want to increase their development
financing capacity.
The funds that I have available locaUy t<J invest in the MCCF were
originally received from the Minnesota Department of Trade and
Economic Development (DTED) under the Minnesota Investment
Fund grant program. These funds were loaned to a local business and
the repayments are being used ro capitalize my local revolving loan
fund (RLF), Can I use this mJJney to join MCCF?
Yes. The State Legislature enacted an amendment to Minn. Statute
116J,8731, subd.2 this year that specifically authorizes local government
units to do so.
How about using ~ity generalfunà lÙJ[lars for this purpose?
Yes, again. Minn. Stamtes 469,191 authorizes cities and towns to
appropriate not more than $50,000 annually out óf their general revenue
fund for organizations like the Minnesota CommJinity Capital Fund.
Most of our local economic development financing resources were
provided to our community by DTED through a HUD Small Cities
Development Block Grant (SCDBG). Is it ok to use this money for our
MCCF contribution?
Yes. In fact, since the MCCF has been organized to qualify as a
Community-Based Development Organization, SCDBG funds can be
contributed with minimal reporting, which will be handled by the Fund
manager. t,
Once we're a member of the MCCF, can we increase our initial
contribution level in order to be able to originate larger loans from
the Fu.nd?
Absolutely. MCCF members will be able to increase their fitake in the
Fund at any time in order to meet their changing needs and to make the
most of this 'new financing resource.
If we are a member of the MCCF and later decide to terminate our membership, how and when will the funds the
we contributed be returned to us?
Membership in the fund will be subject to a part:idpation agreement, which 'Will require members to make a minimum
three-year commitment to the MCCF. At the end of the three-year period, all funds contributed will be returned,
without interest, upon written request of the member.

.
. As a member of the MCCF, do we have the right to appoint a representative to the Board of Directors?
~ but a representative of your organization will be eligible for election to the nine-member Board that will
ern the MCCF. Six. of the nine board members will be elected by the membership at the organization's annual
meeting. Since the corporation has three classes of membership (based
upon the member's contribution level) each class of members will elect
two directors. The six elected dh-ectors will be responsible for filling the
three at-large director seats.
Who will manage the Fund?
The Northland Institute, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, will provide
management services to the MCCF for at least the first three years of
operation. After this initial period, the Board of Directors may either
continue to contract for fund management seIVices or hire staff to manage
the Fund.
Who will pay fOT the cost of fund management?
The primary J;evenue sources that will be available to pay for fund
management services are the interest earnings on the pooled funds
contributed by MCCFmembers and loan origination fees charged to
borrowers. Members will not be required to pay directly for services
provided by the fund manager that pertain to the structuring of MCCF
loans. However, a.ny technical assistance provided to members that is not
«tly related to a MCCF loan transaction will be subject to a reasonable
. ice fee to be paid by the benefiting member. .
How willthe Fund be recapiialized?
The MCCF wHl be a self-sustaining development resource, with recapitalization of the Fund through the sale of
pre-approved loans to the secondary market. The sale proceeds from MCCF loans will go back into the Fund.
Members originating MCCF loans that are sold at a discount will be required to make-up the difference between
the loan's par value and jt's sale price. Through this ongoing approach, the MCCF loan pool will be continually
recapitalized and funds will be readily available to make new loans.
What drives the price paid for a loan?
Institutional investors who purchase economic development and affordable housing loans seek a market rate of
return. Accordingly, loans that are priced at market rates receive par value. Those priced above the market earn a
premium. while those priced below the prevailing market are bought at a discount_
How flexible are the Fund's lending policies?
The MCCF is designed to provide a great deal of flexibility in terms of borrower eligibility, interest rates, loan
terms and cop.ditions, equity requirements, etc. The Fund's lending focus wiU be on business and community ,
economic development financing activities that support livable wage jobs and affordable housing. MCCF
membersiwiJ1 be encouraged to work closely with the fund manager in strUcturing loan packages that are
,ponsive to their needs.
~ . l there a limit on the number of loans that a MCCF member can originate?
No. The only limit is on the size of each loan that may be originated by a member from the Flmd. Members will
be able to originate loans of up to ten rimes the amount they contributed to the Fund.

Loan Criteria and Approval Process
j ODe of the primary goals of the MCCF is to provide local communities with significantly greater lending capaciI)' artd a more flexible,
tlser-friendly development fmancillg resource than most economic development loan progra.Iru;. Therefore, the Fund is being designed J
, with relatively few hard Hnd fast rule.~ concerning boITOwcr eligibility, target interest rates, loan tem1S and conditions. equity requireffi'.
etc, Loans of up to ten times the amount members have contributed to the Pu.ad may be funded. through lh~ MCCF. So, a $50,000
I investment allows a member to originate loans of up to $500,000.
! What's most important in evaluating any given loan application is:
! · Creditworthiness of the borrower,
j
· Repayment ability based on ca.~h flow anHlysis.
, · Commitment of one or more banks to participate in the fmancwg.
· Support of the local community and MCCP memtx.-"r.
, The fund manager will be directly involved in negotiating and SIrllcturing every loan package tbat
I includes 8. MCCP loan. Once the originating MCCF member adopts a local resolution in support of
the loa¡¡ application, the request will be submitted to the MCCF Loan Committeè, which will consist
of five mem~ (appointed by the Board of Directors) who have experience and expertise in
reviewing bu.~ine~s and/or housing Joans. Tbe loan committee will meet on an "as needed" basis in
, order to e;qJedite the loan review process, and will have the responsibility and firtal authority for
I approving, denying, or modifying the loan terms and conditions. Once the loan committee approves
a loan, the fund manager will coordinate the loan closiag and sale to the secondary IIlliI'keL

I
, The MCCP will be a self·sustaining development re.~ource, with the CODtÏnual recaphalizadon of the
)
I Fund through the sale of pre-approved loans to the secondary market. MCCF loans will be struC?tured to best meet the needs of our
i members, the borrowers, other partioipating lenders, and the community, One of the primary consideraùons for our members as loan
! terms and conditionS arc being negotialed is how the secondiiI}' market w:ill price the loan for purchase. Most institutional investors
,
active: in buying economic development loans are seeking a market rate of rerum. Accordingly, Ibans that are priced at market rates
receive par value. those priced above market earn a premium., and those priced below prcvailing market rntes are discounwd.
I
I Below are examples of actual econom.ic development loan sale trnns¡¡ctions conduct.ed within the past yeai*: , .
· A Joan made to a local business to expand a processing facility carried an 8% interest ¡ate with a five-year tenn and ballooned a
roatl.1r1ty. This loan had a remaining principle balance of $lY8.6~9, and was sold for $191.,895 (96.5% of par).

, purchased for $27,969.
i
! · A nonprofit h01.1SÌllg organization provided a loan as part of a fInancing package fOr the development of an SO-unit affordable
I
housing development. The interest rate was at the prevailing market lcvd, so the lender received par value for the $302,000
I remaining balance of the loan, which was secured by a oot mortgage.
I · An existing loan made to a local printing company for the pllrchase of additional equipment was sold to recapitalize a local Joan
I fund. Al sale, this 10-year term lOaD bad a principle balance of $84,520, wjth an interest rate of 7%. The seller received .$81,162 or
96.03% of par for this Joan. The discounted purcha$e price included 012.5% transacûon fec charged hy the loan broker.
I . A local economic development lender issued a loan at 8.5% for 20 years to fund a busìness expansion, and negotiated an advance-
commitment for the purchase of the loan at par value.
*Example5 provided by Comnumiry Reinve.mnent Fund .wlely for ch~ purpose of demcm:srrating how the secondnry I11.(lrlœt for economic
dcvelopm.:nt loans respond~ ro interest rare variables.
I Loans originated from me MCCF pool will be subject to an advan~ed comnùtment from a secondary market buyer, such a$ the
I Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF). As such, the actual price to be paid for MCCF loans will be known to the participating member
before a formal loan commitment is made to the borrower or other participating lendcrs. If the price offered by the market i$ discQunted
I from par value, Úle MCCF member originating the loan will be re.sponsible for fundillg the difference between par value and the loan's
I sale price. On the. other hand, jf the loan is sold at a premium, the member will receive the premium payD.'lent (that amount in excess of
the loan's par value).
'Through this approach, the MCCF loan pool will be cominually recapitalized and members wiJl be able to originate more development
loans in their communities.

. Conclusions
Recent layoffs and increases in the unemployment rate in rural
Minnesota have raised many questions concerning the supply and
demand for workers in a given region. Region 7W's Job Vacancy
Rate of 4% is in line with the state's 4% rate, This indicates that the
job market is as tight for workers in Region 7W as in Minnesota as a
whole. Many workers from Region 7W may be required to accept a
job that requires a skill or education level below what they have
attained. take a job for less pay, commute a further distance to find a
good job match, or relocate to where their skills are needed.
On the other hand, recent workforce shortages have raised
concerns about finding qualified workers to fill current and future jobs,
especially in high demand fields such as healthcare. Fortunately,
potential workers exist within the jobless and employed populations.
A significant number of employed part-time workers would work more
hours if offered. Although many non-working respondents are retired
and will probably playa diminishing role in the workforce, other non-
working residents who reported looking for work most were seeking
full-time employment.
. Underemployed workers represent another potential pool of
labor. There is evidence that many workers have higher wage
possibilities in occupations related to their current job(s) and are
therefore underemployed. Other underemployed workers are
represented by part-time workers who would rather work full-time and
workers with a level of educational attainment beyond the
requirements of their current job,
If underemployed or non-working individuals are to move to
higher paying or high-demand occupations, retraining will be
necessary in many cases. Over half of total respondents indicated
they would seek further training if it meant getting a better job.
2001 Labor Force Assessment - Steams County 24
..
.
The pool of underemployed represents a potential pool of
workers for certain occupational sectors worst hit by workforce
shortages or for new businesses that maybe recruited into the
community. Workforce shortages are particularly acute in Food
Preparation and Serving Related; Personal Care and Service; and
Healthcare Practitioners and Technical. Significant numbers of
employed and non-working respondents have the skills to fill high~
demand jobs. Likewise, there are other workers who have the skills
needed to accommodate new businesses entering the community,
Finally, while wages are an important part of a worker's
decision to commit to an employer, commuting distance and time also
playa role, Many workers are willing to commute long distances to
work, This willingness drops off with increased mileage, but workers
who are willing to commute further expect to be compensated for the
distance,
