MEMO TO: Economic Development Authority

Judy Weyrens FROM: Cynthia Smith-Strack Municipal Development Group
Mayor RE: . BFA Request: Randy Schmitz—Scenic Specialties
Rick Schultz
Background:
coun�ilors The EDA has received an application for a BFA grant from Randy Schmitz d.b.a. Scenic
Matt [cillam Specialties. Schmitz proposes exterior building improvements to convert an existing garden
sob [,oso center to a wedding and event center venue.The intent of the project is to modify an existing steel
Renee Symanietz building to make it'blend in'with the rustic character of other buildings at the site.
Dale Wick
Schmitz will be present at the EDA meeting. In addition, attached please find:
EDA
Doug Danielson 1. 8FA Appiication.
Larry Hosch 2. Illustration of current and proposed building fa�ade and signage.
Gary Osberg 3. Invoices related to design of fagade enhancement project;estimates/invoices for material
Rick schultz costs were not available when requested. Pve highlighted potentially applicable
Dale wiok expenses.
I have previewed the proposed work under BFA grant guidelines. I am confident the fagade
upgrade is the type of project envisioned when the BFA grant program was established. Prior to
disbursement of funds I recommend examination of paid invoices which relate specifically to the
intended farade improvement and which exceed$2,000 in total.
Upon reviewing the proposed activity I find: �
• The proposed project is eligible for the BFA grant and consistent with the intended goal
to further revitalization/renewal efforts.
• The property is current with taxes and assessments.
• The property is zoned commercial and is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
• Work at the site requires a building permit which has been processed.
The EDA's 2015 capital allocation included funding for BFA Grant applications and other
revitalization efforts. The balance is sufficient to cover this BFA application. BFA program
oversight and authority for grant approval was delegated to the EDA.
Action:
EDA consideration of the grant application is kindly requested.
