Chair Matasosky called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. in the Board Room of
Advanced Wireless Communications, 20855 Kensington Bivd, Lakeville, Minnesota.
2. Approve March 23,.2004 Meeting Minutes
Motion 04.07 Comms. Emond/Schubert moved to approve the minutes of the March
23, 2004 meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Overview of the Development of the Fairfield Business Campus
Mr. Olson stated that. Advanced Wireless Communications (AWC) was the last
business to construct a corporate headquarters in the Fairfield Business Campus. The
Redevelopment Tax-Increment-Financing (TIF) district that was created in 1989 to
assist in the development of the Fairfield Business Campus property, allowed the City
to write-down land costs to entice businesses to the area. The intent was to attract
high-tech companies. Mr. Olson shared that the City waited patiently for the right
corporate headquarters to come to the park.
Mr. Olson informed EDC members that the Fairfield Business Campus now provides
close to 500 quality jobs for area residents and has a total market valuation of $16.5
million. He stated that this project is one of the most successful mid-sized business
campuses in the metro area.
1
Mr. Olson continued to say that AWC is one example of how the businesses that have
located in the park have stayed. AWC leased space in the park prior to purchasing the
last available lot and constructing their own facility. He continued to say that the Itron
building is the only building in the Fairfield Business Campus that has athird-parry
owner.
Mr. Olson stated that the Fairfield Business Campus property owners are part of an
association that holds annual meetings and also has common ownership of the
Fairfield Business Campus signs and boulevards.
Comm. Emond shared that the City was originally looking for a Fire Station site when
they came upon what is now the Fairfield Business Campus. At that time the area was
farmland owned by the St. Paul Companies. He explained that the City went looking
for about three acres and ended up purchasing 80.
Mr. Olson informed EDC members that the City still owns one lot, described as Lot 4,
Block 1, and plans to maintain the lot to be the site of a future Fire Station.
Chair Matasosky stated that with the Communications Strategy in mind, the story of the
Fairtield Business Campus, including the number of employees and tax information,
might be something the EDC would want to use as an article for publication.
Comm. Emond reminded EDC members that there was opposition tb the proposed
Business Park in the beginning, but that in the end the Fairfield Business Campus is a
good project.
4. Review of the Advanced Wireless Communications Project
Mr. Olson shared that AWC reached an agreement with the City in the fall of 2002 to
purchase the last remaining lot in the Fairfield Business Campus. AWC broke ground
in June 2003. He explained that as part of the Contract for Private Redevelopment
between the City and AWC, AWC agreed to a minimum market value of $1,575,500.
Dakota County Assessors currently have the market value of AWC listed as
$1,670,600, thereby exceeding the required minimum.
Mr. Olson stated that AWC also had to identify job creation goals as part of the
Contract for Private Redevelopment. The job creation goal of 14 was set and the City
is pleased to report that the job creation goal for the AWC project has been met within
the required time frame.
Mr. Olson informed EDC members that the City is pleased that the last project the City
was able to do in the Fairfield Business Campus was done so well. He thanked Mr.
Coons for agreeing to host the EDC meeting.
Mr. Coons thanked the EDC for the opportunity to host the meeting and introduced
Brenda Sand, V.P. of Operations. Mr. Coons then shared background information on
2
AWC, how the company came to its new location in the Fairfield Business Campus and
his business interests in China.
City Administrator Erickson stated that Ben understated the challenges that AWC faced
to achieve their new location and that the business world can sometimes be as
challenging as the regulatory world.
Mr. Coons explained to EDC members that AWC does "component level" work,
whereas most companies in their industry do "board level" work, which allows AWC to
identify defects quickly and repair items that most shops would discard. Mr. Coons
stated that in 2003, AWC repaired approximately 1,600 radios each month. Currently,
AWC picks up 300 radios, twice a week, from just one of their clients (Target) to repair.
Comm. Emond questioned if it was cost effective for companies to repair the radios
rather than replace them?
Mr. Coons shared that at this point it still is. He continued to say that most of the
repairs are cosmetic in nature.
Mr. Coons and Ms. Sand then gave EDC members a guided tour of their new, 23,000-
square-foot facility.
5. Director's Report
Mr. Olson stated that the City Council awarded a bid for the CSAH 50 project at their
April 19"' meeting. He shared that Dakota County awarded a bid for CSAH 60 this
month as well. Pre-construction meetings are scheduled for both projects this week.
City Administrator Erickson informed EDC members that the low bidder for both CSAH
50 and 60 interchange improvements was PCI. He shared that Dakota County has
placed $3.5 million in the 2006 budget for right-of-way and CSAH 70 interchange
improvements and that the City has received $5.5 million in TEA-21 funding from the
federal government, which will be matched by both the City and County. He continued
to say that momentum is building for a number of upscale commercial/retail
developments in the area of the interchange improvements.
Mr. Olson informed EDC members that all of the agenda items for Thursday's Planning
Commission meeting are commercial projects. Residential growth is still strong, with
the City issuing 199 building permits through March.
Mr. Olson stated that the Dakota County CDA broke ground this week for their Prairie
Crossing affordable housing project located at 203rd Street and Iberia Avenue, which is
south of UBC Lumber located on CSAH 50. This affordable rental family townhome
project will contain 40 units and will have rents that average $590 for atwo-bedroom
unit and $640 for athree-bedroom unit. The project should be completed in the next 12
3
months. He stated that plans for the affordable housing on the Wren site, located on
210"' Street, would continue.
6. New Business
There was no new business.
7. Adjourn
The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.

Introduction And History Of The EDC's Strategic Planning
Efforts
The Economic Development Commission has a rich heritage of planning for the
economic future of Lakeville dating back to the first Strategic Plan completed in 1995.
The EDC continues to undertake a Strategic Planning process biannually. This process
includes reviewing the Commission's progress on the previous plan's goals, examining
the current issues facing the community, and drafting a new Strategic Work Plan. The
2002-2004 Strategic Plan for Economic Development continues that tradition of
thoughtful and organized planning for the economic future of Lakeville.
Strategic Plans have enabled the Commission to focus their efforts and accomplish
tangible results. Activities that are now considered a standard part of Lakeville's
Economic Development program were conceived through earlier strategic planning
processes, including the "recruitment of businesses whose executives already live in
Lakeville", the development of "additional executive-level housing for new incoming
residents", "Development Project Feedback Surveys", and "targeted marketing materials
including marketing videos."
The 2000-2001 Strategic Plan for Economic Development articulated three primary
goals for the EDC:
? Attract and retain employers and workforce to diversify the
economic base.
? Manage Growth and the city processes to enhance the quality
of life and sense of community.
? Position Lakeville for long-term economic expansion.

Participants In The Process
The Strategic Plan for Economic Development is a written three-year plan that guides
the work of the Economic Development Commission and Economic Development staff
in achieving the growth objectives of the City of Lakeville. In order to develop a
living/working plan it is imperative to have open communication between the elected
community leaders and the EDC to establish agreed upon priorities. It is also important
to understand the historical context in which the EDC was formed and continues to
operate, as outlined earlier in this document.
The process of developing a new plan for the 2002-2004 biennium began in April 2001.
Many elected and appointed officials and staff committed their time, talent and energy to
creating a strategic plan that would position Lakeville well in the future.

Vision
Every organization needs a vision of how it will operate and a clear mission that it is
dedicated to achieving. Therefore, the Commissioners gathered in April to articulate a
vision and outline a mission for the EDC. Mayor Bob Johnson and City Administrator/
Ex-officio Commission member Bob Erickson provided background on the EDC and
information on the City Council's current priorities. The Commissioners discussed how
they envisioned the EDC operating and determined the characteristics that would define
the Commission. The EDC is committed to operating in the manner described by the
following vision characteristics.
THE EDC'S VISION IS TO BE:
Creative And Innovntive
Credible
Facilitators Of Change
Providers Of Outcomes To Achieve Lasting Impnct
Providers For A Better Community
Promoters Rather Than Policy Makers
Builders Of Relationships Between Businesses And Residents
Successful Facilitators Of Council Initiatives
Anticipntory Of Difficult City Issues, And Developers Of Pronctive Solutions
Identifiers Of Issues Before They Become A Problem
Aggressive Innovators
13
Mission
Just as a vision helps an organization define how it will operate, a mission is necessary
in order to be clear on the purpose of an organization. The Commission determined
whether the EDC should have a role in addressing the Council's priorities based on the
mission of the Commission. Additionally, every issue and action item that the EDC
undertakes must be consistent with the EDC's stated mission. Below is the mission
statement from the previous Strategic Plan and a new mission statement, which will
carry the EDC into the future.
Mission Statement From the 2000-2001 Strategic Plan
The Economic Development Commission is committed to programs and policies, which
enhance the quality of the business and residential community. Lakeville is a great place to
grow a business!
Understanding the historical perspective of the EDC and the vision of how the
Commission will operate allowed the EDC to evaluate their existing mission statement
and its relevance for the future. Anew mission statement was developed which reflects
the Commission's charge to be proactive and to achieve balance in the community.
EDC MISSION STATEMENT
The Economic Development Commission is
committed to innovative economic growth which
enhances the quality of life, and provides balance to
the business and residential community.
14
S.W.O.T. Analysis
Because the EDC has successfully achieved many of its previous goals, and because
Lakeville is a growth community, the dynamics and issues that will be influencing the
community in the next several years have changed since the previous Strategic Plan
was written. The Commissioners examined the current Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats to Lakeville in order to better understand the dynamics that
will influence development in the next few years.
STRENGTHS OF LAKEVILLE
Diversity of EDC members' backgrounds
Infrastructure needs relative to resources
Available land for growth
Retail growth beginning
Past planning (Gateway, Heritage)
Freeway corridor
Southern Gateway to the Metro
Proximity to both metro areas
WEAKNESSES OF LAKEVILLE
High Tech infrastructure
Deficient airport runway
Shortage of affordable housing
Current lack of retail
1-35 is an outdated road design
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAKEVILLE
New growth
On retail cusp
In the center of any east-west corridor
THREATS TO LAKEVILLE
Urban sprawl
Regional government
Public opinion against development
Tax base growth outpaced by development
Increasing land prices causes growth cap
15
City Council Priorities That Are Relevant to Economic
Develo ment
The EDC recognizes that the City Council has many issues to consider, and many
advisory groups to help examine these issues and recommend actions to be taken. As a
commission appointed by the City Council in an advisory capacity, the Economic
Development Commissioners must understand the City Council's concerns and
priorities. Additionally, the EDC recognizes that in order to be an effective Commission,
they must focus their efforts on the priorities that are most closely related to the EDC's
mission of fostering "innovative growth which enhances the quality of and provides
balance to the business and residential community."
The EDC thus reviewed the City Council's priorities and identified the four priorities,
which are most relevant to the EDC's mission. The four priorities are listed below and
are not in any particular order.
4 Property Tax
New growth of commercial-retail tax base
Broaden tax base by use of high tech opportunities
4 Transportation
Interchange priorities: 60-70-50
Strategic Placement of major east-west corridor
County and City CIP Implementation
4 Communication
Media tools to spur commercial growth
Blend amenities with economic impacts of community development
Communicate economic development successes
4 Growth
Provide balance in the community
Pace of growth relative to infrastructure, schools, taxes, transportation, etc.
Provide affordable housing stock
Downtown viability-vitality
16
Significant Issues Facing The Economic Development
Commission
The City Council's priorities include tax base, transportation, communication and
growth. Keeping in mind the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that
were identified at the April EDC meeting, Commissioners listed their top five to ten
significant issues facing the EDC. Fifty-seven issues were submitted as follows:
• Interchange priorities for 60-70-50
• Need for major transportation arteries both city and regionally
• How to provide adequate access to commerciallretailanas (ie: roads)
• Interchange Upgrades (70, 60, 50)
• I-35 Corridor enhancements
• Need to upgrade 70&35 ASAP to provide better access to Airlake -costs may
prevent this.
Follow plans for major east-west corridor -strategic placement
Affordability of land and major local road upgrades
• Once east-west corridor has been identified by county we need to revisit proposed
adjacent land uses.
• Transportation - I-35 Interchanges/EastlWest Corridor
• Infrastructure needs relative to resources
• Commercial/retail property tax base growth may not be accomplished because of
infrastructure costs.
• Infrastructure needs relative to resources
• Encourage investigation of all potential upgrade opportunities available in critical
"business infrastructure" elements required -phone, data, etc. and promote
positive outcomes for long term!
• High Tech Infrastructure: sooner or later this will be an issue
• High Tech Infrastructure
Technology Infrastructure
• Support efforts for additional low cost housing
• Shortage of affordable housing
• Affordable housing -being able to finance it and provide enough
• Where and who can help the City develop more affordable housing
• Implementation of gateway corridor plan: no defined plan for implementation
• Continue to partner with Lakeville Chamber and DLBA for promoting Lakeville's
identification ie: "Where we are located"
• Proximity to both metro areas
• Make use of "Southern Gateway" opportunities
17
• Financial Planning for Community -encourage community partners -schools, city,
county, state, etc. to provide input to create basic financial models that can be used
to visualize and measure potential threats, outcomes and overall impacts of our
efforts to improve financial position of the City in the future.
• What if scenario for each $ spent in Lakeville retail vs. residential vs. industrial, etc.
• Partner with schools to minimize adverse levy impacts
• Working with the school district(s)
• Our (EDC) budget for projects (cost vs. benefit)
• Downtown viability
• Long term viability ofdowntown - no one or entity is taking lead role
• Work to retain the historical flavor of downtown area, yet develop it into a vibrant
business community
• Help residential population appreciate C/l residents - "P.R." for business
community
• Create and use aggressive innovations to build relationship between business and
residents
• Keeping the citizens informed and accounted for on growth issues
• Gaining community support for future retail/officelindustrialgrnwth
• Use media tools to spur commercial growth
• New Growth
• The need to encourage creative financial options to develop affordable housing and
to encourage new commercial/industrial/retail growth
• Remain committed to the philosophy of quality strategic growth
• New growth
• Continue to promote Lakeville's growth rather than be a policy maker
• Ability to control growth like Heritage Commons. Ordinance does not provide for
this in other critical areas ie: 35 W Corridor.
• Urban sprawl: pressure to get additional tax base may allow commercial
development that we do not want in the long term.
• The need to initiate and develop projects that will generate a healthy tax base
• Current lack of retail
• Pace growth -Allow commercial/industrial sector to keep pace with residential
• Balance between C!I and residential tax base
• How to increase the retaillcommercial tax base
• Impact of property tax needs for school, city and county
• Promote new growth of industrial and commercial development to enhance tax
base
• Tax base growth outpaced by development
• Investigatelencourage expansion of Airport and rail opportunities and their impact
on C/l community
• Ability to upgrade airport to accommodate corporate aircraft -MAC is roadblock
• Anticipate difficult city issues and develop proactive solution
• Identify city issues before they become a problem
18
Critical Issues Facing The EDC in 2002-2004 And Beyond
Because there was overlap, the Commissioners consolidated the significant issues to
the twenty-one most critical issues. The following critical issues were identified and also
placed into related categories as listed below:
Infrastructure
• Interchange priorities for 60-70-50
• Need for major transportation arteries in the city including the need to provide adequate access to
commerciallretaillindustrial areas
• I-35 Corridor enhancements
• Explore issues related to East-West Corridor
• Implementation of Gateway and Corridor Plan -need defined plan for implementation
• Investigatelencourageexponsion of airport and rail opportunities and their impact on the Cll community
Communication
• Continue to partner with Lakeville Chamber and DLBA for promoting Lakeville's identification - "Where
we are located."
• Inform and educate residents on benefits of C!I base to gain community support and appreciation for
business growth
• Anticipate emerging/future city economic development issues and develop a proactive solution

Strategic Work Areas for 2002-2004
By ranking and prioritizing the most pressing issues, the following four strategic work
areas have been identified as the most critical for the EDC to address. If approved by
the City Council, the strategic work areas and their respective critical issues will form
the basis of the EDC's 2002-2004 Work Plan. Note: the remaining issues were
incorporated as tactics to address the four priority issues below. Once the City Council
endorses the EDC Strategic Issues, specific work plans addressing each item will be
developed and included in the 2002-2004 Strategic Plan for Economic Development.

COMMERCIAL BANKING
From the May 14, 2004 print edition of the The Business Journal (Minneapolis/St. Paul)
From the print edition
Lakeville lands Lakeland Bank
John Share
Staff reporter
A new bank and an expanding one are joining the growing ranks of Lakeville financial institutions.
Lakeland Bancorporation Inc., a bank holding. company being launched mainly by Lakeville investors, broke ground
Wednesday for the first Lakeland Bank branch, at the southeast corner of Itasca Trail and County Road 46. Winona-
based Merchants Financial Group Inc. plans to start construction in mid-May on its fifth Twin Cities-area Merchants
Bank branch, at the southwest corner of 185th St. W. and Kenwood Trail.
The banks are the latest to tap into booming Lakeville, where the population is expected to reach 75,000 in 2020 from
about 43,000 today, according to the city's Web site. Citizens Bank Minnesota, New Ulm, opened a Lakeville branch in
April, and Community First Bankshares Inc., Fargo, N.D., plans to open a branch there by year's end. Nearly 20 banks
with 301ocations serve the Lakeville azea, including Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington and Prior Lake, said
Thomas Mork, Lakeland Bank president and CEO.
"We like the business climate here," Mork said. "It's an area of high growth."
Lakeland's broad base of community ownership will differentiate it, said Mork, former president of Premier Bank
Minnesota, Farmington. Mork and seven fellow Lakeland directors raised about $7 million from 85 investors to launch
Lakeland, he said. About 25 percent of the capital came from Mork's fellow members-of Hosanna Lutheran Church,
which will be the bank's neighbor.
"We know what's going on in the community," said Mork, a 14-yeaz Lakeville resident.
Lakeland will open in temporazy quarters at 16732 Kenrick Ave. in June, pending final regulatory approvals. The state-
chartered bank will focus on commercial lending and commercial real estate financing, in particular, Mork said. Local
connections already are starting to pay off, as the bank has loan requests totaling neazly $14 million in the pipeline, he
said.
Appro Development Inc., Lakeville, is the design build contractor for Lakeland's new one-story, Prairie-style building,
which will have a 6,000-square-foot footprint. The facility is slated to open by October.
Pending regulatory approvals, Lakeville will be the fifth location served by Merchants' Twin Cities charter, which also
operates in Apple Valley, Cottage Grove, Hastings and Hampton. Nationally chartered Merchants has about $750
million in assets, including $90 million in the Twin Cities area.
"What we saw in the Lakeville area was a composite mix of residential, commercial, and a lot of area for future
growth," said Dick Mahoney, president of Merchants Financial Group.
Merchants focuses on business banking, targeting businesses with $500,000 to $25 million in sales, Mahoney said. It
also has a strong niche in commercial and residential mortgage lending, he said.

Pat Farrington, president of Merchants Bank Twin Cities, is unfazed by the competitive Lakeville marketplace.
"I think there's plenty of business to go around," he said. "We think we provide better service, one-on-one contact, and
local decision-making."
Kraus-Anderson Construction Co., Minneapolis, is general contractor for the new Merchants branch, which is
scheduled to open by November. Rochester-based Yaggy Colby Associates is designing the one-story, Prairie-style
facility, which will have a 6,000-squaze-foot footprint.

Whether you're chatting with the butcher, the baker or the taer-tot hotdish maker, ` ~
w e
customers of Enggren's Market have been treated like family for 98 years.
~ r °x
In anticipation ofbeing open for roo years, the family-owned establishment has begun ~ ~ 4~i
its countdown with an anniversary sale and stroll down memory lane with some of its ~ ~
v~: w
oldest customers.
Calling on customers to tell their stories of shopping at the store through the ages Store _ r ~ ~ ~
Coordinator Nancy Watrud said she has received some great memories from customers ~ t r ar
with up to 82 years of Enggren's purchases in their grocery cart memories. ~ " ~
a
~:r r
One woman, who had shopped at the store for q5 years, remembered coming to the ~ ~
store on Friday nights as a little girl and being allowed to purchase a pop from the t.`_ `
machine at the back of the store #or.ro cents. "It was grape, always grape," she scrawled ~ m..
on the slip of paper that was stuffed 'into the memory box. Of course, the pop had to be consumed before she left the store
because in those days, the bottles were "returnables."
An Enggrens' customer of 8z years recalled her first time at the store. Her family stopped in after visiting the Antler's Park
amusement area on Lake Marion.
According to Jody Braun, the store's current Enggren family owner, in tgo6 Bert and Ingeborg Enggren moved to Lakeville
from Eidswald and started the grocery and dry goods store. They lived on main street in a white frame house that was located
were the Erickson Drug store and parking lot are now.
In r93o, their son, John G., took over and ran the store with his wife, Evelyn; sister,. Ruby, and eventually his children, Shirlee,
John B. and Jerry, who all worked in the store.
Jody's father, Jerry, said he would travel to St. Paul weekly to "pick-up' goods for the store. It was also during this time that the
family would get eggs and produce from local growers.
John B. and Jerry took over the store in t954 and expanded the grocery store. They also bought a building across the street for
dry goods, which turned into a ladies' and men's shop that carried everything from underwear to three-piece suits. There was a
fabric store in the basement. Jody remembered counting buttons and patterns for inventory in the store. All of John's and
Jerry's children worked in both stores.
In tg85, Jerry, Jody, Wade and Mark took over the store. Through the years, Jody said the family has upgraded equipment and
moved walls to fit current trends in products and shopping. In t998, the store was remodeled to its current look. Today,
technology is always changing the business.
The 98th anniversary celebration began April a and will end this weekend, April zq, with cake and coffee from tt a.m. to 6 p.m.
Watrud said she is making a cake that will feed t,2oo people.
"It's gonna be big," she said.

basketball shooting game, and a baseball autographed by Corey Koskie from the Minnesota Twins. The store's grocery supplier,
SuperValu, will also be holding a drawing for four Twins tickets.
Enggren's Market is located in downtown Lakeville at 20775 Holt Avenue.

Dear Mr. Erickson:
Tollefson Development, a residential land development company, has outgrown its
current office building located on Kenyon Ave and is commencing a search for a site to
development a new corporate headquarters. We intend to build an office building of
approximately 12,000 square feet which would be of similar design to our existing
building.
It is our desire to stay in Lakeville if we can acquire a site and develop an office building
in the City at a reasonable cost compared to alternative sites. Presently, we are interested
in the Lakeville Commerce Center which has several lots for sale on Keokuk Avenue just
east of the movie theatre. I would appreciate it if you could advise me if there are any
development incentives or inducements that are offered by the City such as TIF, grants,
city fee abatements, etc. to develop anowner-occupied office building in the City.
I look forward to hearing from you so that we can continue our process towards locating
and acquiring a site for the development of our new corporate office. You can contact me
by phone at 952-435-1010 or by email at jottenstein(a)tdi-mn.com.
Sincerely,
3ames R. Ottenstein

~ How has I3akota County Fared in
Recent Years?
Dakota County added 10,000jobs between Q3, 2000 and
Q3, 2003.
• Unemployment in January at 4.3% or 9,600 individuals.
More job creation at the metro level is needed to bring that
level down.
• Initial UI claims are down 9% from last year. Layoff activity
is slowing.
What distinguishes Dakota County from the rest of the
