Redevelopment Plan for the St. Joseph Public Works Maintenance Facility.
The proposed Redevelopment Plan for the St. Joseph Public Works Maintenance Facility was reviewed
. and discussed. Foust noted that bond counsel had indicated that this was prepared as a draft document
and could be modified to fit the specific goals of the EDA and City. An excerpt of the State Statutes
relating to Redevelopment Plans, MS. 469.001-469.002, was distributed.
Findings.
It was the consensus of the EDA to modify the Findings and Declaration as follows:
The City and the EDA make the following findings:
{.;- The certain p:Jrcels of land in the project area 'J/ould not be m3de 3vail:Jble for redevelopment
without some public financial 3id. Public financial aid will encourage redevelopment upon
certain parcels in the project area.
2. The redevelopment plans for the Redevelopment Area in the City will afford maximum opportunity
consistent with the needs of the locality as a whole, for the redevelopment of the area by private
enterprise supports local objectives relating to land uses in this area.
3. The Redevelopment Plan conforms to the general plan for development and redevelopment of
the locality as a whole.
-----
The Redevelopment Plan Objectives were reviewed and discussed in detail. Members noted that the
goals will vary depending on the size of the Development District.
EDA members requested bond counsel input for the special joint meeting on April 17, 2003 on the
following items relating to the Redevelopment Plan; (1) Can the Development District Boundaries
include only the maintenance facility site? And if no, why not? (2) Are there time restrictions
associated with the Development District boundaries? and (3) Can the EDA and Council increase the
. size of the bond issue at this time?

Redevelopment District Boundary. .
EDA members reviewed a proposed map illustrating the Development District boundary. Discussion
regarding redevelopment in the industrial areas included marketing programs available to the
businesses as well as more proactive enforcement of city codes relating to outdoor storage and junk
vehicles. EDA members also inquired as to time restrictions associated with the Redevelopment
District boundaries and requested Foust contact Briggs and Morgan, bond counsel, regarding this
prior to the April 17, 2003 special meeting.
Moved by Hosch, seconded by Rieke that the Redevelopment Project boundaries consist of that
area located south of County Road 133, north of Elm Street and immediately adjacent to Joseph
Street, in the City of Sf. Joseph. Motion failed 2-3 with Hosch and Rieke voting in favor and
Duetz, Gohman and Skahen voting naye.
EDA members Duetz and Gohman expressed their concerns relating to the limited time frame to
prepare and review the various documents relating to the facility and financing of the facility. Skahen
expressed his concerns relating to potential future funding of projects within the Development District
boundary. It was noted each future project would need to be reviewed and approved by the EDA
and City Council.
Moved by Hosch, seconded by Rieke that the Redevelopment Project boundaries consist of the
area including Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 and the lots across Joseph Street occupied by DBUMCO as
well as the vacant lots adjacent to their facility. After discussion, Hosch recanted his motion.
Moved by Skahen, seconded by Rieke that the Redevelopment Project boundaries consist of that
area located south of County Road 133, north of Elm Street and immediately adjacent to Joseph
Street, in the City of St. Joseph. Motion carried 3-2 with Deutz and Gohman voting nay.
Redevelopment Plan Objectives. .
EDA revisited the Plan Objectives. The EDA discussed the removal of language relating to providing
public improvements within the area, as public utilities are already in place within the proposed
boundary. It was noted a future water tower may be located in the area.
It was the concensus of the EDA to remove objective #9 which read, 'To increase the City's tax
base by providing critical public infrastructure improvements for the City."
Project Budget-Bond Issue Details.
The proposed size of the bond issue was previously established at $545,000 with the intent of
utilizing city reserves to finance the balance of the project costs. Dean Wick, Outsource
Management, presented information to the EDA noting proposed change orders and increased costs
of $76,598 including $30,000 for grading, $2535 for a fire hydrant, $16,930 for Class 5 gravel and
additional expenses for 3-phase power and curbing. The total project cost, including at $25,000
contingency, is now estimated at $714,571.
Hosch inquired about the $30,000 in grading expenses. Wick indicated that black dirt will need to be
removed from the site and new soil hauled in. Gohman inquired questioned the Class 5 gravel
expenditure and inquired if blacktop had been included in the budget for the front parking lot, as this
is a requirement of other properties within the industrial park. He also inquired about landscaping.
Wick indicated blacktop and landscaping were not included in the budget or change order. Deutz and
Gohman reiterated their concerns that the project was being rushed too quickly and that proper
planning and review of itemized project costs had not occurred. Gohman noted he did not believe the
project would be completed at the proposed price. He estimated an additional $30,000 for paving
expenses.
EDA members also discussed the need to have an EDA member included in building committee
meetings relating to the maintenance facility. .

· Rieke noted that current interest rates are favorable for cities to borrow funds. He noted that he felt it
would be fiscally more responsible to borrow a higher amount of funds for the project rather than
spend down cash reserves. Council member Rassier also expressed his support of the increased
debt versus spending of cash reserves.
Foust noted pending legislation relating to levy limits is proposed to apply to municipal bonds issued
after May 1 , 2003, which has resulted in the project timeframe being condensed and moved along a
this rapid pace.
The size of the bond issue was discussed at length. Hosch noted that he had previously stated that
$545,000 should be the cap. He expressed his concerns with increasing it now, but added that in
light of the change orders and interest rates feels it may be beneficial to do so. Deutz indicated that
at the last EDA meeting a $545,000 cap was established and he would not support an increase as he
felt the project was too rushed.
Moved by Rieke, seconded by Hosch to amend the Redevelopment Plan to include $700,000 in
public project revenue bonds, including financing expenses, to finance the acquisition and
betterment of the Public Works Facility. Motion carried 3-1-1 with Deutz voting nay and Gohman
abstaining.
Other Business.
It was the consensus of the EDA to table the remainder of the agenda items until the next regular
EDA meeting to be held in May.
Next Meeting
The EDA will be conducting a joint session with the City Council on Thursday, April 17, 2003 at 7:00 p.m.
to hold a public hearing on the proposed project.
· A special EDA meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2003 at 5:00 p.m. to approve the issuance of
the Public Revenue Bonds.
The next regular meeting of the EDA was scheduled for Wednesday, May 21,2003 at 4:00 p.m.

The City Council meeting was also called to order.
Lease Purchase Agreement
Strack indicated a copy of a revised lease purchase agreement for the Public Works Maintenance Facility
was included in the packet. The revised agreement specifically grants the EDA the authority to review
and approve change order requests. Strack clarified the City Council also has the authority to approve
change order requests.

Counsel regarding a definitive hold harmless clause. He also indicated a desire to confirm that the
. 'permitted encumbrances' clause of the agreement provides coverage for all costs typically included in a
net, net, net (triple net) agreement. Gohman specified several other points on pages 10, 11, 14, 16, 22

Maintenance Facility Change Orders
Mr. Dean Wick of Outsource Management Group indicated he had drafted change order request #7
earlier in the day. All present requested copies of the change order request and supporting documents.
Wick indicated the need for the latest change order revision was due to the fact a deeper storm water
retention/detention basin is needed. Associated increased costs were reflected in the general conditions
and earthwork subsections. Wick indicated the general conditions reflected an additional six weeks of
work for the project and the earthwork reflected the increased excavation required. Shaffer provided an
overview of the ponding requirements and earthwork needed at the site.
Deutz requested information regarding the roughly $10,000 in cost savings in the earthwork line item
resulting from the change in building location.
Gohman expressed concerns with itemized costs included in the general conditions line item, indicating
they seemed high. Wick offered to review the itemized costs with the contractor. Gohman also
expressed concern with the 2 1/2 % bond upcharge, indicating industry standard for that item is one
. percent. Wick indicated the cost was included in the initial project contract between the builder and the
City.

Rassier questioned the need for the increased pond size, the cost of the 'general conditions' line item and .
expressed concern over the number of change orders to date.
Strack suggested Wick review the six previous change order requests as a means of providing further
context for persons not familiar with the project's history. Wick provided an overview of all previous
change orders considered, who considered them, their status and the differences between the requests.
Rieke requested a step by step review of all items included in change order seven. Wick provided an
overview of the items.
Rassier, Deutz and Gohman raised concerns about project costs. Rieke suggested Wick return with
detailed information on each line item, Weyrens suggested a break-out of costs similar to those included
in engineering documents for city street and utility projects. Wick indicated the contractor may not be
able to provide such specific information. Rieke suggested the Project Coordinator be present at the next
meeting.

tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 14 hat 4:00 p.m.

Fax: (320) 363·0342 RE: Re-Subdivision: Lot 2, Block 1 Buettner Business Park
ADMINISTRATOR
Judy Weyrens Background
Mr. Leo Buettner has requested approval of a subdivision of Lot 2, Block 1, Buettner Business
MAYOR Park.
Larry J. Hosch Attached is a copy of the Final Plat of the proposed subdivision-Buettner Business Park Three,
COUNCILORS which would result in the division of Lot 2, Block 1 Buettner Business Park into three lots in
Alan Rassier measuring 3.03 acres, 3.0 acres and 4.0 acres.
Ross Rieke Section 1.03 of the Covenants "Alteration of Lot Lines", reads, "Subdivision: An owner may
Gary Utsch subdivide a lot into two separate parcels, but may do so only by following and complying with the
Dale Wìck rules and regulations established by the City of St. Joseph Subdivision Ordinance, and so long as
each remaining lot, following the subdivision, is at least three (3) acres in size.
The proposed subdivision meets the three (3) acre minimum size requirement.
. Section 54.3, Subdivision 2 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance states, "Application. Any plat
hereafter made for each subdivision or each part thereafter lying within the jurisdiction of this
Ordinance, shall be prepared, presented for approval and recorded as herein prescribed: The
regulations contained herein shall apply to the subdivision of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two
or more lots, tracts or development; whether immediate or future, including the re-subdivision or
re-platting of land or lots; except the City Council may exempt the division of a single previously
platted lot from the application of the Ordinance and condition the division upon application of the
ordinance and condition the division upon Council approval only, where the Council finds that the
full compliance with the platting procedures is not necessary to meet the purposes of this
Ordinance.
Since the request is to re-subdivide, platting of the lot is required. Upon discussing this with the
City Administrator, it is recommended the preliminary plat phase be waived and the submission of
a final plat be permitted. The final plat will result in Lot and Block legal descriptions and one plat
rather metes and bounds descriptions and the filing of multiple certificates of survey.
Action:
No formal EDA action is required as the proposed subdivision meets the minimum 3.0-acre lot
size. This has been included as an update for the EDA as the request is within the Business Park
and will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and City Council.

exterior loading docks. However, the building is
situated on the northern-most portion of the lot,
. approximately 200 feet from the southern lot line.
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:
· Warehouse/distribution facilities are permitted uses within the LI - Light Industrial District.
(Section 52.28 Subd. 2, t)
· Minimum Area: 1 acre - Proposed plat 4 acres.
· Proposed principal building setbacks required are 30 foot front, 25 foot side and 20 foot
rear yard; because the lot is a corner lot it must be set back 30' from both Elm Street and
15th Avenue. Proposed setbacks are 25' north, 30' on the east and south and 64' on west.
· The proposed building height of 24 feet conforms with zoning requirements which limits
the height to 55 feet.
· Allowable site coverage per the Zoning Ordinance is a maximum of 50%, all structures.
The proposed building is 30,000 square feet. The proposed parking lots on the south and
east sides are 26,000 and 11,700 square feet, respectively giving a total of 67,700 square
feet of impervious surface or 39% of the 4 acre site. The current building and parking
meet the requirement. Future additions may not meet the requirement.
· Parking lots - the parking lot to the east of the proposed facility is illustrated with light duty
paving.
. · Loading docks are required to be 10' x 50'. The site plan illustrates an area 44' from the
building and 40' wide. Semi parking spaces are illustrated in the loading dock area 10' x
40' each.
· A landscape plan has been provided.
· Additional information on the lighting is needed.
· The building location and location of ingress/egress are illustrated, The elevations of
building are not included.
· Signs may be 50 square feet. Two signs totaling 48 square feet are proposed to be
attached to the building.
· The plan illustrates 24 parking spaces. The zoning ordinance requires a minimum of eight
parking spaces plus at least one space for every two employees on each shift or 1 space
per 500 sf. Ft. of gross area, whichever is less. The company reports 23 employees at
the facility, therefore, 24 spaces are, required by the zoning ordinance.
· The City Engineer must review required drainage plans.
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 EOA 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.
A MOTION is in order from the EDA to approve the site and building plans for North Central Truck
Accessories. Any conditions for approval should be listed.
. Recommendations from the Planning Commission and information on the EDA's action will be
forwarded to the City Council in June.

(320) 363·7201
Fax: (320) 363-0342 RE: High Speed Data Line - Industrial Areas
ADMINISTRATOR
Judy Weyrens Background
The EDA has been working toward a goal to have high-speed data line plant installed in the
MAYOR industrial areas of the city. MDG has contacted both Astound Broadband and U.S. Cable
Larry J. Hosch regarding said installation.
:OUNCILORS U.S. Cable has indicated the installation is not cost effective, but may be willing to consider
Alan Rassier the extension if guaranteed exclusive rights to the area.
'(oss Rieke At its March meeting the EDA requested staff review the franchise agreement with Astound
.Jary Utsch
Dale Wick and US Cable for a clause which would require installation in commercial and industrial
areas.
The franchise agreement with Astound includes the following:
-
"Section 36.26: LINE EXTENSION. The City shall have the right to require reasonable
- extensions of the franchisee's transmission and distribution system from time to time, and to
make such rules and regulations as may be required to secure adequate and proper service
and to provide accommodations for the public. The City-may not require an extension into
areas where there are less than twenty-five (25) residential under per mile of trunk or
distribution cable as is required. "
MDG drafted a letter to Astound Broadband regarding a formal request 'for installation of
high-speed data lines in industrial portions of the City. A copy is attached for your
information.
On May 8, 2003, MDG met with Mr. Cress Gackle of Astound Broadband who indicated the
cable franchise agreement did not apply to high~speed data lines. Mr. Gackle indicated the
commercial sales department had visited with approximately 12 business owners within the
St. Joseph Industrial Park who may be interested in Astound Internet service.
On May 14, 2003, MDG and City Administrator Weyrens met with four representatives from
Astound. A background of historical and projected growth in the community was provided to
Astound. Astound requested the EDA coordinate a meeting and invite business
representatives from the business park area, north öf County Road 75. Astound would like
to further discuss with the businesses their interest level, the type of service required (single
computers or networks in the various businesses) and the potential cost associated with the
service. It was suggested the meeting be conducted mid-June at City hall.
EDA Action:
A MOTION is in order to coordinate and host a meeting with representatives from Astound
. and the business area north of County Road 75 to further discuss the extension of high
speed data internet services to this area.

RE: Installation of Plant in Industrial Areas of the City of St. Joseph
Dear Tony,
Thank you in advance for your continued assistance in working with the City of St. Joseph to install
high-speed data lines in the industrial portions of the City.
As you are aware, the St. Joseph Economic Development Authority has established a goal to
extend high speed data transmission lines into portions of the City zoned 'Industrial". To assist you
in identifying applicable areas, please find a City of St. Joseph zoning map enclosed.
The plant installation goal is set forth within the City's Comprehensive Plan, the document guiding
the overall growth and redevelopment of the community. The Plan states, "The Economic
Development Authority should work in cooperation with telecommunication companies to extend
DSL or T-1 lines north of County Road 75 to improve telecommunication services in the
commercial and industrial business parks in those areas." The goal was established as a means of
providing better service to existing businesses and as a means of recruiting technologically -
advanced business/industry to the community to further diversify the job availability and tax base. -
As you are aware, the City of St. Joseph EDA staff conducted an informal phooe poll with existing
industrial property owners. EDA staff contacted fourteen existing industries regarding their desire
for high-speed data transmission lines. The overwhelming majority indicated a desire for said
service. Several property owners indicated a need to either be served by high-speed data lines or
to secure satellite connection in the next few months.
Per the Cable Franchise Agreement, the City hereby formally requests installation of high-speed
data plant within industrial areas of the City of St. Joseph pursuant to Section 36.26 as follows:
LINE EXTENSION. The City shall have the right to require reasonable extensions of the
franchisee's transmission and distribution system from time to time, and to make such rules and
regulations as may be required to secure adequate and proper service and to provide
accommodations for the public. "
On behalf of the St. Joseph EDA, thank you in advance for your continued attention to this matter.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my Associate Joanne Foust or I at your
earliest convenience. A business card is enclosed for your convenience. I look forward to hearing
from you shortly.
Best regards,
Cynthia Smith-Strack
