Mr. Martin addressed the EDA presenting a detailed review of the history of the MCCF, the purpose of the
MCCF, how the MCCF is administered and MCCF benefits to members organizations. Among highlights:
· MCCF is currently enrolling member organizations (cities, counties, EDA's, HRA's, Economic
Development Partnerships, etc.), Three levels of membership based on contribution,
· Contributed funds are pooled into a single entity (MCCF), which is managed by a board of
elected members and financial professionals. Operational costs for the fund are covered by
interest earnings from the MCCF and a required borrower loan origination fee of 1,75%,
· Loans may be issued for economic (re)development and affordable housing projects,
minimum amount is $50,000, Communities may continually issue loans for up to ten times
the amount of capital contributed (e.g, $250,000 if $25,000 is contributed). A credit reserve
of 5-10% is required for the first 12 months while the loan is seasoned. The credit reserve is
. the responsibility of the City,
· Loans issued are immediately sold in the secondary market so the fund is continually re-
capitalized,
· The secondary market sets the pace for loan criteria. For the first two years the MCCF is
operating, the secondary market entity is the Community Reinvestment Fund (Minneapolis),
If below market rates are offered, the community will be responsible for covering the discount
at the time of closing, Loans at par are recommended. Premiums are also an option (Le, for
extended terms), in this case the premium is forwarded to the City,
· Capitalization goal required to start up the MCCF is $2,5 million by October, 2002. If
capitalization goal is not achieved by that point, the fund will be dissolved and monies re-
distributed to those contributing, Entities already enrolled include: St. Cloud HRA,
Hutchinson, Fergus Falls, Duluth, Detroit Lakes, Tracy, Wright County, Brainerd and various
economic development coalitions.

point.
The Planning Commission and Council have and will review the proposed project as it relates to
the Zoning Ordinance for the L-I, Light Industrial District. The following comments are for EDA
consideration and information:
. · Assembly plants and manufacturing enterprises are permitted uses within the LI -
Light Industrial District. (Section 52.23 Subd. 2, i),
· Proposed building setbacks exceed the required 30 feet per side abutting a corner
and 55 rear yard,
· The proposed building height of 35 feet conform with zoning requirements which
limits the height to 55 feet (Section 52.24, Subd. 7)
· Section 52.23, Subd. 8, c requires all buildings to have exterior finish design and
materials approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of a building
permit.
· Section 56.4 of the Zoning Ordinance allows for the installation of non-rust material
chain link fences up to 8' in height. A latched gate is proposed on the refuse
enclosures. No other fences are proposed.
· Section 52.14 Subd. 5,b. of the Zoning Ordinance, requires, "Such parking lots shall
be constructed and maintained in a useable condition, with a hard surface consisting
of concrete, bituminous, pavement or paver stone designed to drain and dispose of
surface water. Recycled bituminous or concrete shall be prohibited except as
permitted in an industrial area by special use permit or variance." Subd. 5, d and e
state, "Necessary curbs or other protections against damages to adjoining properties,
streets and sidewalks shall be provided and maintained." and, "Plans for construction
of any such parking lot must be approved by the Planning Commission before
construction is started. No such land shall be used for parking until approved by the
Planning Commission", respectively. The site plan identifies proposed parking lot
construction on the west and south sides of the parcel. Plan T-1 notes the parking
areas will be bituminous where no truck traffic is turning and Class 2 in truck areas.
Parking spaces will be 9' x 22' and drives will be 24' wide. Section 52,14 also
identifies a requirement of one parking space for 250 square feel of office and 1
- space per 500 square feet of manufacturing plus a space for each company vehicle,
This would result in a requirement of 82 spaces. 83 spaces are depicted,

· It is noted the EDA review of the covenants, conditions and restrictions for the St. Joseph
Business Park (a.k.a. Buettner Industrial Park) does not constitute a review of the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of St. Joseph,
EDA Action:
The EDA will take action on the approval, conditional approval or denial of the proposed plans
based on its compliance or lack of compliance with the Restrictive Covenants for the Business
Park.
Attached you will find optional resolutions for the EDA's consideration. EDA RESOLUTION 02-02
recommends conditional approval of the project to the City Council
Recommendations from the Planning Commission and EDA will be forwarded to the City Council
for consideration at their July 18, 2002 meeting,

RE: Grant requests for St. Joseph Beautification Funds
MAYOR
Larry J, Hosch
Background:
COUNCILORS At the May meeting, the EDA requested MDG send letters requesting grant funds or donations
Bob Loso to assist with the streetlighting and pavers to be installed as a part of the "St. Joseph
Cory Ehlert Beautification" project which is being coordinated by the Chamber of Commerce.
Kyle Schneider At the June meeting the EDA requested phone calls be placed to the various companies
Alan Rassier
regarding the status of the funding requests. Following are the results:
Quest - They indicated their grant guidelines only allow for funding of projects involving
education - such as internet in the classroom.
Astound - They were out of the office the last week of June, MDG will attempt to reach them
. prior to the EDA meeting.
Xcel - Karen Young had not reviewed the request as of June 28th. She indicated that tyupically
they provide funding for education and community redevelopment but more in the planning
areas, They cannot provide funds for capital items, She also indicated that since they provide
electrical streetlights this may be a conflict for their company as they may be asked to submit a
bid for the lighting. She will review the request and see if there is a way to assist.
Initiative Foundation - Sent the attached letter denying the request, along with their funding
guidelines.
Stearns Electric - Noted they have $7500 per year for grants for projects and had already
provided the City of St. Joseph with $5000 for the comprehensive plan update. They prefer to
reserve the remaining $2500 for another community within their service area.
U.S. Cable - The company representative was out of the office the last week of June, MDG will
attempt to reach them prior to the EDA meeting.
Community Center Funds - At the June meeting it was noted the City had approximately
$15,000 designated for a community center. The City Administrator has noted these funds are
reserved for architectural fees related to a community center project and may not be used for
other projects.

Judy Weyrens RE: Minnesota Community Capital Fund (MCCF)
MAYOR
Larry J, Hosch Background
Scott Martin, a representative of the Minnesota Community Capital Fund (MCCF),
COUNCILORS addressed the EDA at their June 19, 2002 meeting.
Bob Loso
Cory Ehlert Mr. Martin addressed the EDA presenting a detailed review of the history of the MCCF, the
Kyle Schneider purpose of the MCCF, how the MCCF is administered and MCCF benefits to members
Alan Rassier organizations. Among the highlights were:
· MCCF is currently enrolling member organizations (cities, counties, EDA's,
HRA's, Econ. Devel. Partnerships, etc.). Three levels of membership based on
contribution.
· Contributed funds are pooled into a single entity (MCCF), which is managed by
. a board of elected members and financial professionals. Operational costs for
the fund are covered by interest earnings from the MCCF and a required
borrower loan origination fee of 1,75%.
· Loans may be issued for economic (re)development and affordable housing
projects, minimum amount is $50,000. Communities may continually issue
loans for up to ten times the amount of capital contributed (e,g, $250,000 if
$25,000 is contributed). A credit reserve of 5-10% is required for the first 12
months while the loan is seasoned. The credit reserve is the responsibility of
the City,
· Loans issued are immediately sold in the secondary market so the fund is
continually recapitalized.
· The secondary market sets the pace for loan criteria. For the first two years the
MCCF is operating, the secondary market entity is the Community Reinvestment
Fund (Mpls,), If below market rates are offered, the community will be
responsible for covering the discount at the time of closing, Loans at par are
recommended. Premiums are also an option (Le. for extended terms), in this
case the premium is forwarded to the City,
· Capitalization goal required to start up the MCCF is $2.5 million by October,
2002. If capitalization goal is not achieved by that point, the fund will be
dissolved and monies re-distributed to those contributing. Entities already
enrolled include: St. Cloud HRA, Hutchinson, Fergus, Falls, Duluth, Detroit
Lakes, Tracy, Wright County, Brainerd and various economic development
coalitions,
.

\
. The EDA participated in the presentation and the subsequent question/answer period.
However, discussion was not detailed due to the length of the presentation and the absence
of two EDA Board Members.
City Administrator Weyrens has indicated the EDA would need to take the $25,000 from their
reserve fund if you would like to participate in the MCCF, The fund balance information will
be provided at the EDA meeting,
Action
Further discussion and direction is requested. If the EDA is supportive of contributing to the
MCCF a resolution will be required from the City Council. A motion to draft the resolution
and present it to the City Council is in order.
