Approve October 26, 2004 Meeting Minutes Motion 04.13 Comms. SmithlEmond moved to approve the minutes of the October 26, 2004 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Review of final 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development Mr. Olson stated that at the October 26'h EDC meeting, Commissioners authorized the preparation of the final 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development and that staff has incorporated the information and data that has been reviewed and discussed at past EDC meetings. A draft of the final plan was included in the packet. He continued to say that a work .plan was not included in the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development but rather would be prepared as a separate document and reviewed with the EDC at a later date. Chair Matasosky shared that the work programs used for the 2002-2004 Strategic Plan was good because it identified the amount of staff time necessary for each action step. Ms. Roiger stated that from an outsider's perspective, the plan is user-friendly for people who are not familiar with the EDC. Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes November 30, 2004 Mr. Olson recommended a press release be issued to the local papers after the plan is approved by the City Council to inform area residents and businesses about the efforts of the EDC. Comm. Emond recommended staff summarize the document and making it available on the website. Mr. Olson explained to EDC members that staff would be preparing a Report on Economic Development in the first quarter of 2005 that will summarize the achievements as a result of the 2002-2004 Strategic Plan. Motion 04.14 Comms. Emond/Tushie moved to recommend approval of the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development and forward to the City Council for their approval in December. Motion carried unanimously. 4) 2005 CDBG Application Mr. Olson explained that the City has to submit an application for 2005 CDBG funds to Dakota County by December 31, 2004. The City is expecting. to receive approximately $108,300 in 2005, which is approximately 5% less than what was received in 2004. He continued to say that the Dakota County CDA is implementing a new requirement for 2005 applications that requires all subrecipients to submit applications with at least 50% of the funded activities be projects that provide benefits to low/moderate individuals. HUD requires 70% of total County CDBG expenditures be for activities that benefit low/moderate income individuals. The new subrecipient requirement will ensure the CDA meets the HUD requirement. Mr. Olson shared that in recent years, CDBG funds in Lakeville have been used for code improvements and demolition and clearance of projects in the Historic Downtown, which are considered slum/blight removal activities. The .last low/moderate income eligible activity funded by CDBG in Lakeville was when the City assisted in the acquisition of the Wren site for a future family rental housing project in 2001. Mr. Olson explained that there are a number of possible low/moderate income eligible CDBG activities currently being researched by staff including Housing Rehab Loan Programs and several programs that would benefit Senior Citizens. The CDA has two Housing Rehab Loan Programs currently in place. The first program is a housing rehab loan program that is administrated on a countywide basis from a pool of CDBG funds. Mr. Olson explained that Lakeville could designate a portion of our allocation to make available specifically for loans to be made in Lakeville. 2 Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes November 30, 2004 Chair Matasosky questioned if the revolving loan funds come back to the City? Mr. Olson stated that loans could be made for up to $25,000 and that they are traditionally deferred until the sale of the home at which time repayment of the loan is due. He continued to say that this loan fund is not for cosmetic improvements, but is intended to provide funding for necessary improvements including roofs, siding, furnaces etc. The second type of housing rehab loan administrated by the CDA is a Manufactured Home Rehab Loan Program that provides loans up to $5,000. He explained that the City of Apple Valley has funded this type of program for a number of years. He expressed concern that two manufactured housing parks in Lakeville :(Connelly and Queen Anne) are non-conforming uses and that the City would have to determine whether or not to make money available to 'non- conforming uses. Mr. Olson informed EDC members that programs and projects benefiting senior citizens automatically qualify as low/moderate income eligible activities. He explained that staff .has identified two senior citizen programs for EDC consideration. The first program would be to fund capital improvements to the Senior Center in downtown Lakeville. He stated that unfortunately the projects identified by the Parks and Recreation staff are of smaller dollar amounts. The second senior citizen related program would be to fund additional transit services specifically for seniors above and beyond the DARTS service currently available. City Administrator Mielke explained that a group of individuals from Winsor Plaza came forward this summer regarding the lack of transit services for seniors in Lakeville. He continued to say that Lakeville is not part of the Metro Transit Taxing District and thus DARTS services are limited. He also shared that one option would be to supplement on a contract basis with DARTS to provide additional services. He stated that .commuter and handicapped transit services are also being requested. Mr. Mielke posed the question to the EDC about whether or not they would be interested in using CDBG monies to fund additional transit services? Comm. Emond stated that it was his understanding that DARTS had more services available to Lakeville seniors. Comm. Tushie asked if Lakeville could use CDBG funds to start a land trust foundation for either owner-occupied or rental units for low/moderate individuals? Mr. Olson indicated that that may be an option and that the City of Northfield does something similar. 3 Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes November 30, 2004 Comm. Emond questioned if the existing home rehab loan programs are meeting the need? Mr. Olson explained that the home rehab loan program balance is currently at $t million countywide compared to $1.8 million at this time last year. The annual allocation to that program is approximately $800,000-$1,000,000 countywide. He continued to say that if Lakeville designated a portion of our allocation, we could market the program to ensure timely expenditure of funds. Chair .Matasosky stated that it is difficult to make recommendations. if they do not know what the need is. Ciry Administrator Mielke shared that every year it is a concern that :the government will not fund the CDBG program the next year. If the Ciry funds a program that will continue to need funds once they are eliminated the City is creating a'liability. Comm. Bornhauser asked what the estimated cost would be for Lakeville to join the transit system? City Administrator Mielke explained that the cost would be between $500,000 - $750,000. He continued to say that there are many options for transit. The City could levy that same amount and contract for services, which guarantees: specific services and control. A benefit to joining the transit system is that once the City is a member, they have the opportunity to work with a larger pool of capital dollars. He also stated that higher density areas tend to be more conducive to fixed route bus service. Chair Matasosky questioned if there had been discussion of a new community survey? City Administrator Mielke responded yes, there is money budgeted for a community survey in 2005. Mr. Olson explained that staff is recommending that 50% of the CDBG funds be allocated for a possible Downtown Code Improvement project as it is anticipated the 2004 Downtown Code Improvement funds may be recommended to be re- programmed to fund the Downtown Plan that was recommended in the 2005- 2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development. He continued to say that at this time staff is requesting direction from the EDC as to what types of programs the remaining 50% of 2005 CDBG monies should be allocated for. Comm. Bornhauser inquired about the City's flexibility to re-program the funds. 4 Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes November 30, 2004 - Mr. Olson informed EDC members that the City could request an amendment to the CDBG application to move monies into different program areas. He explained that the Ciry has approximately $100,000 left from the last two-three program years. Comm. Brantly stated that he would like to incorporate monies towards senior related activities. Comm. Tushie asked if there were other activities that could be done to benefit seniors? Mr. Olson explained that the City could use CDBG funds to acquire property for additional senior .housing facilities. He continued to say that the 2005 funds are monies available to use from July 2005 through June 2006. City Administrator Mielke stated that the EDC could go to the Ciry Council and say that•both transit and affordable housing are issues identified by the EDC and that. the specifics will be worked out during the implementation stage. Mr. Olson informed EDC members that the application requires specific activities to be identified and does not allow a City to identify details at a .later date. City. Administrator Mielke stated that the Ciry could designate funds to supplement the CDA Housing-Rehab Loan Program and advise the City Council as issues related to transit and affordable housing are reviewed further for possible future amendments. Motion 04.15 Comms. Tushie/Emond moved to recommend allocation of 50% of 2005 CDBG funds to the Downtown Code Improvement Program and the remaining 50% to the Housing Rehab Loan Program. Motion carried unanimously. 5) Review of discussion with Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee regarding ParKDedication requirements _ Mr. Olson shared that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee held a meeting on Wednesday, November 17"' to discuss increasing the park dedication fees for Commercial and Industrial developments. EDC Chair Matasosky and Commissioners Brantly and Pogatchnik were in attendance at the meeting. Ms. Schwabe passed out copies of the minutes from that meeting. Chair Matasosky explained that the EDC went through this process a few years ago when increasing the. fees created an uproar in the development community. He continued to say that at that time there was not a process to determining a rise in fees. This year the Parks, Recreation and fVatural Resources committee asked 5 Economic Oavelopment Commission Meeting Minutes November 30, 2004 for the EDC's opinion on what would be tolerable. He mentioned that the other outcome was the underlying concept to make new residents and businesses pay their own way. Mr. Matasosky indicated that he feels there should be more of a process including analysis and reasoning for an increase in fees. Comm. Tushie stated that some of the park dedication monies are allocated for future parks and improvements. He also explained that it is difficult to plan for .parks in the future. Mr. Olson informed EDC members that every five years the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee and staff review the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan for the City. He continued to say that they have indicated that with more of the City developed; they are better able to determine the Gong term (20-25 years) capital improvement needs to the .park system. Lastly, he mentioned that they are looking at an inflationary adjustment in the upcoming year. Comm. Tushie stated that Lakeville has a larger supply of available land, which is why Lakeville is such a unique community where people want to live and work. He questioned if there is a need for a bond referendum to purchase land now rather than just using Park Dedication fees? Mr. Olson stated that this memo was more of an FYI item and that staff is not requesting a recommendation from the EDC at this time. Comm. Smith shared that he feels it is not the job of the EDC to be focused on park development. Comm. Tushie explained that however, it is .part of our job to provide an environment conducive to businesses locating here. 6) Director's Report Ms. Schwabe informed EDC members that Commissioner Erickson was released from the hospital on November 19'h, but had to return on the 25i" due to an infection. She explained that his wife Martha indicated that Jerry was responding well to medication for the infection and was expected to be released tonight or tomorrow. The City sent flowers to Jerry on behalf of the EDC and City staff. Mr. Olson shared that Comm. Schubert introduced Tom Dunsmore, President of The Dunsmore Company of Minnesota, which developed Lakeville Townoffice Park in conjunction with Imperial Homes. He continued to say that Advanced Wireless Communications will be introduced by Tom Smith at the December bin City Council meeting. 6 Ecorwmic Development Commission Meeting Minutes November 30, 2004 Mr. Olson explained that Ms. Schwabe is continuing to work with the CDA to demo the .vacant, single-family structure at 20860 Howland Avenue. Staff is hoping to complete this project as soon as possible. Mr. Olson also shared that the customer service training for City employees that was scheduled to be completed in 2004 has been postponed to 2005 due to the recent resignation of the City's Human Resource Manager. Staff will .keep the EDC informed at upcoming EDC meetings. Mr. Olson informed EDC members that the November session for the second year of Leadership Lakeville, which focused on Leadership in Business and Economic Development,: was held on November 18'h at the new Advanced Wireless Communications building. He explained that Todd Bornhauser and himself assisted with .putting together the program and Ghair Matasosky made a .presentation to the group regarding the role of the EDC and its work to develop a Strategic Plan for Economic Development. Lastly, Mr. Olson reminded EDC members that RSVP's for the Advisory Appreciation Holiday event are due to Judi Hawkins tomorrow. 7) Adjourn The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Attested to: Amanda Schwabe, R.

Comments: Having Dave Olson coordinate the application process streamlines and makes a very .efficient development process. Everything went great. Great job! Everyone of your inspectors were professional and we enjoyed a goad working relationship. We want to do more development in Lakeville! I'll have a better idea once we begin our permanent building project. N/A You can't bet any better! Good job. Great people to work with. My plumber had problems getting the plumbing permit in a timely manner. Plumbing permit applied for 12/18/03. Signed off by Chris R. on 12/78/03. Contractor picked up and paid for permit on 12/30/03. Keep up the great work. Gene Abbott is great to work with. It was good Overall, service was great! Thanks. Quick, prompt response to questions. City process went well. State Elevator inspectors need to be adjusted with City requirements or coordinated letter between departments, so contractor is informed on the approved method of installation prior to work. City cooperation couldn't have been better. Up-to-date online forms, fees and code and permitting info is always helpful. Nothing! The whole process couldn't have been any better. We had no problem working with the City. No suggested changes. Our fire protection plan was submitted in Nov./Dec. and we received verbal approval from Mr. Abbott. Then as we began install in March we began receiving requests for further engineering. The process was not smooth. Mayor Johnson should call me at 712-279-8000 to get a real flavor of the overall degree of "service". Have been working with several cities, and Lakeville is the best! Keep up your good work. Thanks a dot. Perhaps an interview process where you meet face to face with an inspector, discuss the project and obtain the permit? N/A Very Pleased. A step above most cities that I work in. Keep up the good work. The Lakeville Chamber of Commerce is a good support and a nice networking opportunity. We are a bit curious about a California company on the Chambers' site who claim to provide screen printing. Sign approval seemed drawn out. Bob, Dave Olson and Gene Abbott have been excellent to work with. You've done ¢ great job helping to develop the City as well as our project. The building inspectors are knowledgeable and they do show their care for our projects, much better than the City of Apple Valley. We have no complaints. However, we were a bit annoyed by the letter from an intern .threatening that inspections would be ceased is a small amount of debris wasn't cleaned out of the street - it was a little heavy handed. Thank you. Very pleased with the City review process. I have worked with APPRO many years and they do an excellent job. No suggestions. I found the staff at the City extremely helpful and pleasant. Best City we have dealt with! You guys did a great job welcoming us to your City and helping us get up and going. Thanks for everything!

Chief Executive Bob Mariano says he makes it a point to attend all of the openings of his company's new supermarkets. But today's ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new Rainbow Foods store in Shakopee carries extra meaning. The 70,000-square-foot building, a former Kmart, is the first new Rainbow to hit the Twin Cities since Milwaukee-based Roundy's bought the chain from Fleming Companies in 2003. The Shakopee site and a new prototype store that Roundy's will unveil this year in Lakeville represent Mariano's ambitions for the struggling chain. After spending more than a year just trying to fix the 31 stores Roundy's acquired, Mariano says Rainbow is ready to grow again despite intense competition from Cub Foods, Lund Holdings Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. "We are unwavering in our desire to grow in the Twin Cities," Mariano said in a interview. "The market is that good." A quick glance at the Shakopee Rainbow shows the promise and peril of Mariano's strategy. A Cub Foods sits across the road. Last month, Wal-Mart said it will convert its Shakopee store, just-6-miles away, into afull-grocery Supercenter. But the Shakopee location, which Roundy's bought from'bankrupt Kmart Corp., offered Roundy's more room to show its stuff, said John Breitinger, vice president of United Properties in Minneapolis, which is building the Rainbow store in Lakeville. Until now, Roundy's opted for expensive remodels; Breitinger estimated Roundy's spent $3 million to $4 million upgrading stores in Apple Valley and Eagan. "This is significant," Breitinger said. "This will be a much better picture of what Roundy's will do with Rainbow" in the future. The Shakopee store features Rainbow's first liquor section, a large selection of ethnic and organic produce, several more frozen-food cases and an area where shoppers can buy candy, seeds and nuts in bulk. Rainbow also is rolling out new digital scales for weighing produce. The scales, which Roundy's debuted at its new Metro Market in downtown Milwaukee, print out price labels that shoppers stick on Page 2 of 3 ~ their bags. Another noticeable improvement is the store's spacious aisles. Critics say the old Rainbow stores were cramped and cluttered, and Mariano agreed. "If you made the aisles any more narrow, you would feel like it was a bowling alley," he said. Most industry observers agree that Roundy's greatly improved the condition of the stores, which had fallen into disrepair under Fleming. The company has invested heavily in remodeling and advertising. "We really like what they are doing with their stores," said Stephen Finn, CEO of Leeann Chin Inc. in Edina. "They have made great strides in service, merchandising and cleanliness." Last year, the Asian restawant chain ended its 12-year relationship with Byerly's and Lunds and opened at least a dozen takeout counters in Rainbow Foods stores, with more to follow. Finn said the Rainbow lunch-counter sales are running ahead of projections. Some analysts wonder, however, whether Flemings stewardship of Rainbow left Mariano with too deep a hole to dig out from. David Livingston, managing director of DJL Research in Pewaukee, Wis., said Rainbow sales are down 6 percent in a two-year period dating back to August 2002. Citing internal Roundy's data, Livingston who previously worked for Roundy's said a typical Rainbow makes about $450,000 a week, down from $477,000. A bright spot: Sales grew 1 to 1.5 percent in the 33 weeks ended in August. The problem is that Rainbow has yet to establish an identity with shoppers, said lean Kinsey, a professor and co-director of the Food Industry Center at the University of Minnesota. Roundy's must more effectively tailor its merchandise to the local market, she said. "So far, nothing stands out," Kinsey said. Analysts suggest Rainbow might find a niche by going upscale with service and perishables like Lund, while keeping its prices close to the market leader, Cub Foods. The Shakopee store incorporates elements of this two-pronged approach. The store offers both fresh- squeezed orange juice and fried doughnuts. The bakery bakes four times a day instead of the usual one time. There is an olive and soup bar along with an area where shoppers can assemble their own sandwiches. The store grinds its own meat daily. "It seems to me that they are going for an upscale image," Finn said. "They want to offer both low prices and a quality experience." Mariano, known in the industry as a formidable operator and a constant tinkerer, suggested a few surprises in the near future, which might include Roundy's expanding its already extensive private-label program. "I have an idea where I want to take this company," he said , "but I'm not ready to share that with you yet." ni n nnnnc r ` Page 3 of 3 In the meantime, Roundy's will conduct "a full court press" for future Rainbow locations. With Lakeville and Shakopee, the company will operate about 34 Rainbow stores. When asked about Lunds' decision to open two stores near downtown Minneapolis, Mariano said he is very interested in the downtowns itt both Minneapolis and St. Paul. "We still feel the downtown market is a great opportunity for us," he said, adding something will happen in the near future. Mariano largely shrugged off Wal-Mart's plans to open three Supercenters in the metro area. Livingston said the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Shakopee could siphon 20 to 25 percent in sales from the Rainbow store. Without the Supercenter, the Rainbow store could generate $320,000 per week, he said. "You can expect Wal-Mart to open Supercenters anywhere," Mariano said. "But you can stillmake it work. I don't care how big or small you are. You have to earn your stripes everyday in retail." Thomas Lee is at ttee@startribune.com. Copkright 2005, Staz Tribune.

The purpose of the TCCCF is to leverage millions of dollars in Revolving Loan Funds (RLFs) and other ecammic development funds owned and } managed by metro area local governments and development financing organizations. By pooling resources, TCCCF members will have the advantage of offering much larger loans than would be possible with limited local resources, greater gap-lending fle~ability for financing local development projects, and significantly lower loan risk-all with the € support and services of a professional fund manager and experienced loan officers at no cost to Fund members. How will the Fund work? • The TCCCF is a new Minnesota. nonprofit membership corpo~afian that will be governed by representatives of its member organizations. k ti Three membeis/rip /eve/s are available. The minimum membership investment is ~ $200,000 for Class A shares, $100,000 for Class B shares, and $50,000 for pass C y shares. You choose the membership level that best fits your organizational needs. i The Fund will begin operating once the initial $2 million capitalization goal has i G been reached. • Members will be able to-originate loans of up to ten times the amount they have 6 on deposit with the Fund. For example, a Class B member who deposits $100,000 in the Fund can originate loans of up to $1,000,000--with no limit on the number ofloans that any one member can originate. • The TCCCF will be a se/f-sustaining financing resource. Recapitalization of the ~ Fund will be through the sale of pre-approved loans to a national secondary market, which ensures that the Twin Cities Community Capital Fund will always have money tb lend! { • Members will determine which projects they wish to support through the TCCCF r • Loan Fund, which can be used as a gap-financing source for most local economic development projects. 4 • The Fund's loan officers will work closely with members, prospective borrowers, ~ and other pactidpating lenders in analyzing and structuring financing deals that l best meet the needs of all parties. The interest rate and teens of a// TCCCF/Dares are negotiable, with most loans subordinate to the lead lender in the finandng package. TCCCF staff will' prepare all documents for' loan dosings .and will s negotiate the sale of all loans to the secondary market, without any cost to members. ~ By selling all TCCCF loans to secondary capital markets on an advance commitment basis, the originating .member significantly reduca°s or can even eliminate potential loan /ass risk. i • TCCCF members will be able to take advantage of the New Markets Tax Credit program, which provides for be%w market rate /cans to eligible borrowers, without having to handle alt of the paperwork associated with parddpation in this new Federal economic development initiative. Membership in the TCCCF comes with a money back guarantee. Ninety percent of i the funds received from members will be deposited in the TCCCF Loan Fund escrow account, which will be managed by an independent Escrow Agent. These funds will remain the properly of each respective member and may only be used to fund TCCCF loans. Ten percent of each member's funds will be in the form of a F loan fb the TCCCF for start up working capital. Members may withdraw their money from the Loan Fund eso*ow account anytime after three years fmm the date of deposit, or reduce their position in the Fund down to the $50,000 level--- for any reason whatsoever. s ( • .The Fund will have no employees. TCCCF will contract with the Northland i Institute, a Minnetonka-based nonprofit organization; for profess/ona/ f management services in order to keep operational costs down.

The Plan guides the work of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) and Economic Development staff in achieving Lakeville's economic development objectives. Elected and appointed officials, along with City staff, committed their time, talent and energy to creating a plan that will position Lakeville well for the future. Work on the Strategic Plan began in July 2004 when a Significant Issues Survey was sent to the City Council, City Administrator and EDC members requesting a list of what they thought were significant issues facing Lakeville in 2005-07. The survey respondents highlighted issues pertaining to several areas, including transportation, development issues, affordable housing, community and school district partnerships, downtown Lakeville, communication, technology, taxes and other general issues. After reviewing the survey results, the EDC consolidated the information into six categories, with corresponding goals and outcomes. The six categories are Transportation, Managing Development, Affordable Housing, Downtown Plan, Partnerships and Public Communication. A limited number of goals were set for each category to ensure the EDC has the time and resources to give each goal the attention it deserves. To help with the implementation process, City staff will establish an annual Work Plan based on available staff and budgetary resources for the coming year. Other aspects of the 2005-07 Strategic Plan for Economic Development include the vision, mission, and organizational definition. The vision is intended to guide the EDC's work. The mission statement reflects the EDC's charge to be proactive and achieve balance to the business and residential community. The organizational definition is a statement about what the EDC is and what it does. The 2005-07 Strategic Plan for Economic Development is the fifth plan prepared by the EDC since 1995, when the first strategic plan was completed. The previous strategic plan was from 2002- 04 and featured four strategic areas of focus for the EDC. Progress was made in al] categories, with work being done to improve the City's roads, bring in new businesses, enhance existing businesses and communicate with residents and the business community about the benefits of a strong commercial/industrialhase. The EDC has a tradition of thoughtful and organized planning for Lakeville's economic future. The strategic planning enables the EDC to focus its efforts to accomplish tangible results.
