Mayor Anderson opened the public hearing to consider granting a business subsidy to

a brief background of the business. He requested City Council approval of a business
subsidy for the company's proposed new 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility in
Interstate South Logistics Park.
Mr. Olson presented the staff report for the proposed project. The County Assessor has
provided an estimated market value of $6 million for the project, which would generate an
estimated $555,000 tax increment over seven years. The tax increment would be
reimbursed to QA1 Precision Products to offset infrastructure and site development costs.
QA1 Precision Products is required to create a minimum of 19 new full-time jobs with an
average annual wage of $40,600 within the next two years. The company must maintain its
operations in Lakeville for a minimum of five years. Failure to meet these requirements
will require reimbursement of all or a pro -rata portion of the tax increment financing
assistance provided by the City.

8. Park Bond Referendum Discussion
Page 3
Mr. Miller provided information regarding a potential 2019 park bond referendum, which
the council has been discussing for the past year. One component of the referendum was
to include an indoor turf facility/dome. A proposal was recently submitted by a private
developer for the construction and operation of the proposed indoor turf facility/dome.
School District 194 is interested in housing the facility entirely on its property.
Council members held a brief discussion. In light of this proposal to construct and operate
the turf facility privately, council members agreed to not hold a referendum in May 2019.
They will continue to discuss the components and timing of a future park bond
referendum.
