Mr. Olson indicated that the information to be provided for each City would be the same type of information that would be collected by Lakeville if we were to undertake our own study to determine affordable housing goals for the City.

The open House was fairly well attended and with the exception of some of the concerns expressed by several residents along 179" Street in the Crossroads subdivision, there did not appear to be major objections to the proposed new corridors or corridor extensions. The County plans to proceed with completion of Phase II which is scheduled to be adopted prior to the end of the year. • A portion of Alignment C that will result in an extension of 195' Street from Flagstaff Avenue in Farmington to 185xh Street at Cedar Avenue in Lakeville has recently been included in the Capital Improvement Programs for the City of Lakeville and Dakota County and is currently programmed to be constructed in 2009.

As was indicated at the June meeting, because of staffing and budgetary limitations, this sthdy is scheduled fa be completed in 2006.

Upon completan of the CDA Housing Study in October or November, staff will hopefully be able to determine if additional work would need to be completed by the Ciiy in order to establish affordable housing goals for Lakeville.

The JOBZ program that eliminates property, corporate income, and sales taxes for qualified projects for up to ten years is not available in the seven county metro area. Staff will continue to provide the EDC information on future projects that we become aware that locate in cities where the JOBZ program is available.

New updates are prepared weekly and included in the Messages page in the Life and Times, provided to the Chamber of Commerce to be included in their weekly broadcast emails and also posted on the home page of the City's Web site. Buildina Permit Update Through the end of July, the City has issued building permits with a total valuation of $109,133,455. This compares to a valuation of $135,817,003 during the first seven months of 2004. Included in this amount is $27,707,500 for commercial and industrial permits year to date, which compares to $22,117,150 for commercial and industrial permits during the same period in 2004. Also included in the total year to date valuation are permits for 136 new single-family dwellings and 215 townhouse and condo units.

We will attempt to schedule this meeting with Commissioner Canners for a future EDC meeting. Eureka Township Annexation Discussions There have been several delays in the Township discussion of the current annexation option proposed by the City. This option involves an orderly annexation agreement whereby the Township would be reimbursed the current level of township taxes being levied on the property and 50% of the building permit fee revenue that would be collected within the first six years after annexation. Eureka Township is scheduled to discuss this item at their August 22"d meeting. EDAM Legislative Report A report prepared by Kath Hahne, lobbyist for the Economic Development Association of MN is attached. It provides an update on the legislative outcomes on a number of issues associated with economic and redevelopment issues. One issue that will be monitored closely by staff is the ongoing debate of the Eminent Domain issue that will be the subject of a legislative task force convening this fall and for which new bills are likely to be introduced in the 2006 Legislative Session. 2005 Dakota County Rental Market Survey Results Annually for the past twenty years, the CDA has con- Why the high vacancy rate?

Hahne Faegre & Benson, LLP DATE: August 11, 200 SUBJECT: 2005 Legislative Report The 2005 Legislative Session finally completed its work in Special Session, which adjourned on July 13. It took a while, but legislators passed a bonding bill, tax bill, public finance bill and appropriation bills that fund state operations for the next biennium. The Economic Development Association of Minnesota supported and monitored many issues. These issues specifically include: Capital Investment Appropriations: One year after the Legislature failed to pass a capital investment bill, the Legislature approved a nearly $945 million Capital Bonding Bill early in the legislative session. Included in this bonding bill were the following: • DEED Redevelopment Account: $15 million of bonding was appropriated. Of this, $5 million is for a grant to Moundsview for public improvements for the Medtronic development, plus an additional $l.b million was earmarked for two smaller projects - $1 million for Willmar for airport hangers and lighting and $600,000 for the Rushford Institute of Nanotechnology. This program was amended to again allow funding far projects on a statewide basis. "Bioscience development" was added as one of the priorities. A match of at least one-half of the development award is now required. • Port Development Assistance: $2 million for grants was appropriated. • Bioscience Development: $18.5 million was appropriated for grants to political subdivisions to pre-design, design, construct, furnish and equip publicly owned infrastructure to support Bioscience development in the state. Of this amount, $2.5 million is earmarked for a grant to Worthington. • Greater Minnesota Business Development and Infrastructure Grant Program: $10 million was appropriated for this program. • Supportive Housing Projects: The legislature appropriated $12M in state general obligation bonding authority for building supportive housing projects. Eminent Domain: Several bills were introduced during the legislative session that would have, in most instances, greatly restricted an authority's ability to use eminent domain for redevelopment purposes. As a defensive tactic, the League of Minnesota Cities, EDAM, Minnesota Solutions and others drafted and had introduced legislation that would have required some additional public notice and more detailed planning on the local level when an authority uses eminent domain. With the Kelo case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court at the time, legislators agreed to delay any action on this issue pending the outcome of the Supreme Cour['s decision. The chief Senate author, Senator Kiscaiden (I- Rochester), committed to convening a task force this fall to discuss this issue. Given the controversy over the Kelo decision, this will clearly be a controversial issue in 2006. Department of Employment and Economic Development Programs: • Petroleum Tank Release Clean-up Act: The sunset on this program was extended from June 30, 2007, to June 30, 2012. • Contaminated Site Clean-up and Development Grant Account: The Legislature appropriated same-level funding for this program - $2.962 million for the biennium. • Workforce Partnerships: The Workforce Development Fee, collected from private sector employers, is raised from .07% to .1 % for calendar years 2006 and 2007. After that the fee is reduced to .085%. $15.229 million in each year is appropriated for workforce partnerships, including: o Minnesota Job Skills Partnership Program: Allocated $6.78 million in each year and provided for additional uses of available funds for discretionary programs, including special incumbent worker grants.. o Centers of Excellence: Anew partnership with MNSCU funded with a $10 million appropriation is intended to integrate the academic and training outcomes of a MNSCU center with business clusters that have a significant effect on the state's economy. The MNSCU Board of Trustees must designate 3-8 centers based on specified criteria, which in part requires financial and programmatic commitment from employers who will benefit from the center. o Opportunities Industrialization Centers Council (OIC): The Council will receive from the workforce development fund $500,000 each year for a onetime grant for health care training. • Minnesota Investment Fund: New funding for the MIF program was eliminated, and a revolving loan fund was created for this program. A community may now retain 20% of a grant (up to $100,000) when it is repaid to the community by the person/entity to which it was loaned. (A community used to be allowed to retain $100,000.) -2- I f • JOBZ changes: The Legislature made several changes, including: o A business is not a "qualified business" until the business has entered into a Business Subsidy Agreement with the local unit of government. o All projects are now required to go through the JdBZ deal evaluator, which lists criteria for a qualified business to be eligible in a JOBZ zone. The criteria include an increased minimum job creation commitment for a relocating business (5 jobs or 20% of the total workforce, whichever is greater), and agreement to pay wages, including benefits, that are 110% of the federal poverty guideline for a family of four. The commissioner has waiver authority from these provisions. o The eligibility requirement for an increase of 10% in capital investment for business relocation was eliminated. o Retail businesses are no longer eligible as qualified businesses. • Smal! Business Innovation Research Program: This program received an increase over the base funding of $100,000. The purpose of the program is to provide services for small businesses to access federal grant programs available from eleven federal programs. Authority to Create Metro Area EDA's: Legislation deleted language prohibiting metropolitan-area counties from forming a county economic development authority. Prohibits counties that have granted economic development powers to a community development agency or a county housing and redevelopment authority from forming a county economic development authority (Dakota, Scott, and Carver counties). Business Subsidy Act Changes: The public notice and hearing section of current law was changed to require the inclusion of a notice that a person with residence in or the owner of a taxable property within the grantor's jurisdiction may file a written complaint with the grantor if the grantor fails to comply with the law. No action may be filed against the grantor unless a written complaint is filed. A person with a complaint may bring an action for equitable relief arising out of the failure of the grantor to comply with the notice and public hearing provision of the law. However, prior to bringing an action, a party must file a written complaint with the grantor stating the alleged violation and proposing a remedy. The grantor has up to 30 days to reply to the complaint in writing and may take actions to comply with the law. Any written complaint for failure to comply with these provisions must be filed within 180 days after approval of the subsidy agreement. The effective date of these amended sections is August 1, 2005. The Act was also amended to require some new reporting requirements for DEED. International Economic Development Zone: The legislation authorizes designation of an International Economic Development Zone within 60 miles (or 90 minutes of driving time) from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The Zone is intended to stimulate development of a regional distribution center that will increase the capacity and capability to handle international air freight. -3- t i The legislation provides various tax exemptions for qualified businesses seeking to locate in the International Economic Development Zone. Additionally, $750,000 was appropriated to the Commissioner of DEED for incentive grants for businesses to locate in the Zone. Qualifying businesses operating in the Zone are exempt from sales, income and property taxes and a refundable jobs credit is available for the portion of increased payroll that is over $30,000 and up to $70,OOO/FTE. Individuals who invest in Zone businesses would be exempt on their business income attributable to activity in the Zone as well as capital gains taxes on Zone investments. The Zone (and the tax incentives) would have a maximum duration of 12 years. The tax incentives are very similar to those available under the JOBZ program. Tax Increment Financing: This statute was amended to require an estimate of the total amount of increment that will be generated over the life of the district, broken down separately for the school district and county. Also, increments from a district in a biotechnology and health sciences industry zone may be expended outside of the district but within the zone for the construction of public infrastructure necessary to support the activities of the zone. The Legislature also adopted an important TIF clarification that provides for the continued use of this financing tool for Housing TIF Districts in a way that allows for the incorporation of market rate units and some commercial space along with affordable rental housing units. The bill also contained additional technical and special law provisions. Tax Abatement: The Legislature increased from 15 to 20 years the duration for tax abatement for projects in which less than three units of government are involved. Additionally, for projects in which all three taxing jurisdictions are part of the abatement agreement, the duration was extended from 10 years to 15 years. EDA Boards: County EDA boards are now authorized to use anine-member board. Salary Cap: The Legislature raised the salary cap for employees of a political subdivision from 95 to 110% of the Governor's salary of $120,303, effective August 1, 2005. Also, beginning in 2006, the salary may be annually adjusted for inflation. Public Web Sites and Publications: Any political subdivision is prohibited from including pictures or other materials on their web site that tend to highlight an individual rather than the office, agency, or political subdivision. The new language lists permitted materials and additional restrictions. These restrictions apply to publications and web sites printed or maintained with public money. Cities and Counties: Cities and counties with a population of more than 15,000 must annually notify its residents of the positions and base salaries of its three highest-paid employees. This notice must meet certain requirements under the new law. The new language applies to cities and counties and does not provide a definition of a city. It is unclear whether or not this language would apply to all political subdivisions, and should be further researched. -4- Prairie Crossing Townhomes -Home to Forty Families The CDA's newest family townhome development, "With only one income, it's hard to rent in the pri- Prairie Crossing, has been bustling with activity since vate rental market," said Katie. it opened earlier this year.
