Background:
Councilors The EDA has received an application for a BFA grant from Melissa Kolstad d.b.a. Babygiriz
Matt Killam Boutique. Kolstad is moving her boutique into the space at the corner of College/AAn currently
Bob Loso occupied by Retail Therapy. Kolstad plans to open by August 24th. Babygiriz Boutique will market
Renee Symanietz specialty fashion/clothing to students and young adults.

Kolstad proposes to replace windows, repair soffit, and add new signage to the propeRy at 11
EDA College Avenue North. Kolstad is leasing the property, I have requested the BFA application be
Doug Danielson signed by the property owner.
Larry Hosch

Rick Schultz
Dale wick 1. BFA Application.
2. Invoices related to the proposed project.
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.
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 su�cient 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.
