Chair Deutz called the meeting to order and stated the purpose of the meeting is to tour the new
maintenance facility and complete the final walk through. EDA Members stated it was their
understanding that the facility was complete and ready to be turned over to the SI. Joseph Economic
Development Authority. However, it does not appear that the building is complete and ready to be
occupied. The EDA agreed by consensus that they would not accept the building until the facility is
completed, interior and exterior, including the holding pond and final grading.

Jeff Baggenstoss of Shingobee Builders provided the EDA with a tour of the facility and discussed items
that need to be completed. The following items were discussed during the meeting.
· The ceiling is not fire rated, as it is not a requirement of the Building Code.
· Buildings over 8,000 square feet are required to have an opening every fifty feet. The Building'
Official approved the use of the overhead doors to satisfy the building code requirement. I
· Before the paving of the parking area, the EDA must authorize the release of the contingency.
When the project was approved the fencing and paving were removed from the project with the
understanding that those improvements could be completed after the building is occupied and :the
excess contingency funds would be used for the improvements. It was agreed that when I
soliciting quotes for the parking lot improvement, an alternate should be added to pave a small
portion around the entire building. I
· Eye Wash area. The maintenance staff was of the understanding that an eye wash area is a
requirement in the type of facility that was constructed and that the original plans included such.
As of this date the eye wash area has not been installed. I
· EDA Members discussed the lack of erosion controls stated that the City has adopted an erosion
control Ordinance and a silt fence should have been installed around the perimeter of the !
property. Public Works Director Dick Taufen stated that he will make arrangements for the silt'
fencing and agreed the property should have been fenced. . I
It was consensus of the EDA that the facility is not ready to be turned over to the City as was anticipated.
Before the City will accept the facility all the improvements must be completed, including the grading and
drainage. Shingobee should contact the City Administrator when the facility is competed and the EDA Will
meet to accept the facility.
Adiourn: Skahen made a motion to adjourn at 7:30 AM; seconded by Rieke and passed
unanimously by those present.
