Himle Horner. Included in that information were separate pages that contained the
proposed new Vision, Mission, Organizational Definition, and the Significant Issues
and Goals that were identified during the Work Session. The goal for tonight. was to
go through those four components of the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic

Meeting Minutes
September 28, 2004
Comm. Gehrke reminded EDC members that during the Work Session with Todd
Rapp a suggestion was made to include a business element to the Vision, but that
the group did not come to a resolution during the Work Session.
Mr. Olson stated that a business element was included in the Mission statement.
Comm. Pogatchnik requested that the meeting minutes reflect that the EDC was
extremely pleased with the Work Session with Todd Rapp of Himle Horner was
effective in regards to time, outcomes and cost effectiveness.
Comm. Brantly suggested adding "opportunities for" to the Mission. EDC members
agreed. The revised mission statement follows:
The Economic Development Commission is committed to identifying and
managing opportunities for innovative economic growth, which enhance the
quality of life and provide balance to the business and residential community.
Mr. Olson asked EDC members to return to the Vision to finalize the new wording
with the business element included.
After additional discussion, EDC members concurred that the new Vision statement
should be:
Lakeville is a unique and attractive community where people and families want
to live, learn, work and enjoy for their entire lives and where businesses
choose to locate due to an attractive business climate.
The EDC then began reviewing the Significant Issues and Goals and identifying
outcomes.
Chair Matasosky opened discussion on the Significant Issue of Transportation by
reviewing the goals identified at the Work Session:
Advocate for the implementation of a process to develop East-West Corridors
Assure timely completion of 50-60-70 interchanges
Monitor and evaluate efforts to develop a viable transit plan for Lakeville
Advocate on behalf of business interests with airport and rail planners
He continued the discussion by asking staff as to the status of the East-West
Corridor Study.
Mr. Olson stated that what is being discussed now at the County level is the
possibility of Co. Rd. 70 being designated as a principal arterial... He continued to
say that when the East-West Corridor study began about four years ago, Met
Council had determined that they would not support another principle arterial south
of 494. Sections of Co. Rd. 42 are designated as principle arterial, but nothing

further south than that. The City will be commenting on the Met Council
Transportation Systems Plan, which goes along with the framework that was
adopted last year. In preliminary talks with the County, they are in support of the
principal arterial designation for Co. Rd. 70.
Mr. Mielke that the County is attempting to identify east-west corridors for major
roadways that could carry a collective sum of vehicles through the East-West
Corridor study process. The concept of taking Co. Rd. 70 and making a connection
to Co. Rd. 50 just east of Farmington and make it a state highway so that there
would be a connection between Wisconsin to I-35. He continued to say that the City
of Lakeville has testified in favor of that concept.
Chair Matasosky inquired if the East-West Corridor study is a County Study?
Mr. Mielke stated that the East-West Corridor study is County driven, however the
implementation of it is going to take both the County and City to get it done.
After additional discussion, the EDC identified and agreed upon the following
outcomes:
• Secure the necessary remaining funding for CSAH 70 Interchange
• Study and advocate for. the designation of GSAH 70 as a Principal Arterial
including the development of an access management plan
Assure that development along East-West Corridors B, C, D provides for the
development of these corridors
• Completion of a Transit Plan for Lakeville
• Development of a new or renovated fixed-base operator facility at Airlake
Airport to better serve corporate aircraft
• Expansion of the number of properties in the Industrial Park with rail access
Mr. Olson reminded EDC members that it is good to identify outcomes that are
realistically achievable in the next three-year period.
Comm. Schubert stated that outcomes serve as a way to measure our efforts.
Chair Matasosky addressed the Significant Issue of Managing Development by
reviewing the goals identified at the Work Session:
Advocate with the Council and stakeholders for desired, diverse and
distinctive commercial development
• Monitor development and advise the Council to ensure a balanced tax base
and a manageable rate of growth
EDC members identified and agreed upon the following outcomes for the Managing

Completion and approval of a study that determines what a balanced tax
base and corresponding land use plan is for the community
Completion and approval of a study to determine the minimum market value
of a residential housing unit that generates sufficient City property taxes to
pay for the City services required 6y the unit
The development of the remainder of Heritage Commons will be unique and
distinctive and result in community identity
Chair Matasosky addressed the Significant Issue of Downtown Plan by reviewing the
goals identified at the Work Session:
Facilitate an effort to create along-term plan to promote downtown economic
viability while retaining its unique and historical characteristics
Chair Matasosky stated that the vision has always been to connect Historic
Downtown Lakeville with the Heritage Commons commercial development.
Mr. Mielke posed a question to the EDC as to the significance of a linkage to
Heritage Commons on the future of the Historic Downtown or if it is something else.
Comm. Tushie stated that what's been said is that the historic downtown heeds to
be redeveloped. It needs to be destination uses that make it a viable center... The
long-term viability needs to be some sort of connection to the Heritage Commons
development so thatthey can feed off each other.
Comm. Brantly asked how the downtown people feel about that?
Mr. Olson stated that the downtown business people would like to see it .happen;
however the residents living along those areas may not. As the residential
properties on the fringe of downtown come available, people are interested in
pursuing commercial uses of the properties. Staff's position is that the areas need to
be reevaluated.
Mr. Mielke explained that when he has talked with downtown people, they seem to
realize that they have many tools, but no actual plan identifying what the downtown
ought to be.
EDC members identified and agreed upon the following outcome for the Downtown
Plan goal:
Approval of a plan and implementation strategies for the preservation and
expansion of the Downtown

Chair Matasosky addressed the Significant Issue of Affordable Housing by reviewing
the goals identified at the Work Session:
• Work with the Council to establish an affordable housing goal for Lakeville
• Help develop a process with other stakeholders to begin to meet the Council's
affordable housing goal
Comm. Tushie recommended that 10% of all new housing should be affordable.
Comm. Tushie stated that the key to affordable housing is to locate it throughout the
entire community and not isolate it to one particular area. He continued to say that
affordable housing does not tie itself to one demographic group, it is entry-level,
family formation, senior, independent senior, senior with assistance etc.
Comm. Schubert shared that one advantage the EDC has this time is that all
members recognize that affordable housing is a need, whereas before perhaps
development had not :reached to the level that it has and we did not recognize the
need.
EDC members identified and agreed upon the following outcomes for the Affordable
Housing goal:
• Approval of a goal and implementation strategy for the attainment of
affordable housing for persons of aIF life cycles.
Chair Matasosky addressed the Significant Issue of Partnerships by reviewing the
goals identified at the Work Session:
• Improve communication and coordination with other units of government on
important community and economic development issues facing Lakeville
• Create partnerships with Lakeville Chamber of Commerce, DLBA and other
business and development associations on mutual development objectives
Mr. Mielke stated that the challenge to this goal would be to get all of the
organizations on the same page that most of them will want to buy into.
Comm. Brantly shared that the benefit to the particular organization needs to be
clearly identified to get them to buy into something.
EDC members identified and agreed upon the following outcomes for the
Partnerships goal:
• Determine at least one project or issue to partner or work on with ISD 194
and Dakota County
• Formerly celebrate successful development partnerships.

of C/1 development to the tax base and quality of life
• Encourage greater citizen input into community and economic development
decisions
Comm. Pogatchnik stated that the City already does a lot of communication through
Cable Channel 16 and the website.
Mr. Olson stated that staff would be preparing an Economic Development Summary
on the last strategic plan that was just completed at the end of 2004, which will be
distributed in the first quarter of 2005. He continued to say that staff is looking :into
other communication tools including, Cable Channel 16 and the website to distribute
the information rather than just mailing them directly to residents.
Comm. Pogatchnik explained that as the City continues to grow, more people are
going to want to know what is going on.
Chair Matasosky stated that he would like to see a continuation of the Spotlight on
Business program.
Mr. Olson explained that staff would like to have a discussion regarding how to
approach the program now that a significant number of businesses have already
been featured. Staff feels that the benefits of the program certainly merit that the
program continues and be modified as necessary.

outcomes for the Public Communication goal:

October 15, 2004
Dear Local Official:
The 2004 housing performance score for your community is enclosed. The scores were determined based on several
factors set forth in the Council's Guidelines for Priority Funding for Housing Performance.
Seventy percent of the score came from the survey you completed about housing activity in your community during
the past two years. It included information about:
• local fiscal, regulatory, and housing rehabilitation initiatives to facilitate workforce housing development and
preservation
• the density of residential development
• the approval of affordable or life-cycle housing that has not yet been developed
The other thirty percent of the score was determined from the: following data about-your community's housing:
• the affordability of owned housing units (a combination of local government information about the number of
mobile homes, and homestead tax valuation data from the Minnesota Department of Revenue)
• the diversification of housing (based on local housing pemut data Council research staff gathers annually from
local governnunu)
• the number of affordable rental units (provided by the Deparnnent of Housing and Urban Development, the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and local and county HRAs)
• the availability of housing in your community for persons with special needs (based on information provided
by the Minnesota Departments of Education, Coaections and Human Services)
The perfomlance seoies aze intended to reflect both the amount of affordable and life-cycle housing currently
included in communities and their efforts to facilitate affordable and life-cycle housing development and
preservation. Scores range widely, reflecting the variety of metropolitan azea communities. The sparse population
and scattered housing locations of rural, unsewered communities tend to result in lower scores, while the
affordability and diversification of existing housing stock in urban, sewered communities, combined with efforts to
add and/or preserve such housing, yield higher scores.
As indicated in the Council's solicitation materials for funding this fall, the housing performance scores will be one
of the factors considered in the evaluation and ranking of applications for Council competitive funding programs
this fall as follows:
• For the Tax Base Revitalization and Livable Communities Demonstration Accounts, the scores represent nine
percent of the total possible evaluation.
• For the Local Housing Incentives Account, when the housing score factor is considered, applications for
funding from communities with lower housingperformance scores are given priority in order to encourage and
recognize local efforts to create affordable housing.
If you any ques s or want to discuss yourcommunity's score, please call me at 651-602-1418.

Affordability and DiversiFcation
0 to 8 points Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of their owner-occupied
housing (homesteads) with an assessed valuation equal to or lower than an
amount affordable to households at 80 percent of azea median income, and
their total number of mobile homes.
0 to 8 points 2. Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of their total housing
stock that is comprised of rental units affordable to households of low- and
moderate-income (50 percent of azea median income or less). This
includes all federally subsidized rental units -public housing, Section 8
housing, units subsidized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, units
developed with the use of low-income housing tax credits, units developed
with the assistance of MHFA, the LCA Fund or the assistance of a local
fiscal tool ar housing finance initiative.
0 to 8 points 3. Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of their housing stock
that is comprised of units that aze not single family detached units
developed in the typical detached housing site plan approach. These units
may include twinhomes, quads, apartments, townhomes, condominiums,
detached townhomes, mobile homes, and units developed with azero-lot
line.
0 to 10 points 4. Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of net units added to
their housing stock that are affordable -both ownership and rental since
the Council began monitoring in 1996. These "new" units may include
units that have been "preserved" as affordable for a definitive period of
time because of public or private re-investment to retain their affordability.
("Net units" means that affordable habitable units, not including units on
land with a property tax classification of 4C, removed as the result of a city
initiative will be subtracted from the total new affordable units.)
0 to 3 points 5. Housing for special needs
Municipalities are awarded up to three points for the following types of
special housing within their jurisdiction:
• Housing for which federal, state, county or local funds or those of a
non-profit organization have been used to purchase and operate residential
units or provide licensed housing that is not for the purposes of
incarceration, but as a transitional placement of adult offenders or
adjudicated delinquents
• A publicly subsidized or non-profit group home licensed by the
Department of Health or Department of Human Services which provides
temporary or permanent housing for the physically handicapped, mentally
ill, developmentally disabled or chemically dependent
6
.r
- • A shelter which is publicly subsidized and/or operated by anon-profit
group to provide temporary housing for homeless persons and families,
battered women or those not otherwise able to secure private housing
• Housing for individuals and families who are homeless, but with a
transitional stay of six to 24 months, and the assistance of advocates, can
work towards housing stability and self-sufficiency to obtain permanent
housing.
Each instance of such housing is worth 1 point.
Local Initiatives to Facilitate Affordable Workforce Housiug Development or Preservation
0 to 15 points 6. Fiscal Tools and Initiatives
The municipality has in place adopted local policy in its comprehensive
plan or local housing plan that allows and encourages the use of a local
fiscal too! or initiative and has used such a Local fiscal tool to assist
affordable workforce or life-cycle housing development or preservation.
Examples of such fiscal tools include but are not limited to the following:
• Tax increment financing
• Housing revenue bonds
• General obligation bonds
• A local property tax levy
• Local tax abatement
• Local fee waivers or reductions
• Credit enhancements
• Taxable revenue bonds
• Land write-down or sale
• Collaboration and participation with a community land trust or other
non-profit organization to preserve long-term affordability
The use of federal or state dollars is only applicable if such dollars may be
used for activities other than the development or preservation of affordable
and life-cycle housing but the municipality has chosen by policy to use
them for affordable housing development or preservation. (i.e., CDBG
dollars used for housing development or preservation)
Each local fiscal tool or initiative is worth 3 points.
0 to 15 points 7. Initiatives regarding local regulation and development requirements
The municipality has in the previous two calendar years allowed the
reduction, adjustment or elimination of a local official control, or
development or local code requirement as a cost avoidance or reduction
.measure in order to facilitate the development or preservation of affordable
workforce or life-cycle housing, OR has in place in its policies and official
controls a commitment to make such reductions, adjustments or
eliminations of requirements when they aze requested by a developer in
order to facilitate the development or preservation of affordable or life-
?
I,
cycle housing, or since 1996, has taken the initiative to revise its land use
regulation and official controls to such a degree that these revisions can be
shown to be permitting greater density and more frequent opportunity for
reduced development costs than existed before 1996.
Examples of these initiatives in the use of official controls include but are
not limited to the following:
• The use of a density bonus system, inciusionary housing requirements
or some other innovative zoning approach
• The use of variances, rezoning, special use or conditional permits or
similaz variations from the standards set forth in the community's zoning
ordinance for the purpose of facilitating a specific affordable housing
development.
• A local initiative undertaken to revise local design requirements for
public improvement that may reduce the cost of public services to
residential properties.
• Modifications in public services standards or requirements that might
include streets, curbs, gutter, sewer and water hookups, street lighting and
other required public improvements in order to reduce development costs
to increase affordability in a new residential development.
• A reduction of such standards as the required street right-of--way, or
surfacing width or depth design for residential street, or the size of sewer or
water service lines to new housing.
Each [oval initiative is worth 3 points. No mote than 6 points may be
applicable to any one affordable or life-cycle housing development or
preservation activity aided by these local regulative measures.
0 to 15 points 8. Initiatives regarding housing preservation and rehabilitation
The municipality has in place and has in the previous two calendaz years
used and promoted locally-initiated or administered (city or county)
housing preservation, home improvement and/or rehabilitation programs,
or other tools available to its residents to keep their housing stock in sound
condition.
Examples of these initiatives include but are not limited to the following:
• A housing maintenance code and enforcement program for rental
housing
• A housing maintenance code and enforcement program for owner-
occupied housing
A housing rehabilitation loan or grant program for rental housing
• A housing rehabilitation loan or grant program for owner-occupied
housing
• A home improvement loan or grant program
• A home improvement resource center
• A local tool-sharing center or program
Each local initiative is worth 3 points.

~
9. Density of residential development
The average net density of new (or re-use) sewered housing for which a
building permit was issued in the municipality in the two previous calendar
years multiplied by the total number of such units in those two years are
compazed among all communities. sewered communities are ranked
highest to lowest, unsewered communities aze ranked lowest to highest.
Points will only be given to sewered communities with an overall density
of three units per acre or greater and only to unsewered communities for
which the 19981ocal comprehensive plan update has been put into effect.
sewered Communities

(exclusively S5+), or has approved (permits may be drawn at any time) the
development or local financial participation in a proposed development of
new affordable or senior (exclusively 55+) housing, or the involvement of
the municipality in the preservation and reinvestment in such housing -
ownership or rental - which has not as yet been undertaken for reasons
beyond the municipality's control.
Points will be awazded according to the number of units involved in the
proposal as follows:

RE: Proposed Amendment to the Water Resources Management Policy Plan
Dear Chairperson Bell:
The City of Lakeville is taking this opportunity to comment on the proposed amendment
to the Water Resources Management Policy Plan that will be considered at public
hearing on October 2B, 2004.
At the outset, we note our appreaation for the Council following the established
amendment process for consideration of this matter: Additionally, our City's ability to
partiapate in preliminary discussions of the amendment and the proposed service to
Elko -New Market is seen as positive and beneftaal to atl concerned.
Our comments on the proposed amendment can be divided into two categories: general
policy and speck Elko -New Market Plans. With regard to the general policies, we offer
the following suggestions for the treatment plant acquisition criteria:
• Besides requiring counties and townships to preserve areas for future growth,
there should also be a stipulation that these .jurisdictions must strictly
maintain and enforce rural development density standards complying with
Metro Council policies in those areas where urban development is not to
occur
• Anew criteria is recommended that documents priority in tenns of capacity
and funding shall he given to existing service commitments and urban service
area infill development over service expansion and acquisition of facilities.
The specific plans for the extension of service to Elko -New Market are seen as having
benefit in several respects including:
• The communities of Elko and New Market, in conjunction with Scott County
are updating their comprehensive plans to insure staged orderly growth. The
extension of the metro interceptor will contribute to this ,organized and
planned development.

Phone (952) 985-4400 • FAX (9S2) 985-4499 • www lakevllde.mn.us
• The metropolitan interceptor will eliminate local treatment plant discharge into
the Vermillion River which is a protected trout stream. New metropolitan
interceptor service to Elko -New Market will also provide- latest benefk to
Lakeville plus eliminate an existing lift station that is presently serving
portions of the Alriake tndustrialPark. -
As stated in the above suggested additional criteria,. the City of Lakeville. is conoemed
with the fact that the proposed system plan. amendment wilt provide future metropolitan
interceptor service to Rural Growth Centers by-passing areas such as the Cedar Avenue
Urban Reserve area in Lakevi0e and similar areas in other communities. We feel these
types of in-fill development areas should be given primary consideration in terrris of
capacity .and funding for interceptor service. The .future deveopment of the urban
reserve area in Lakeville; which meets the criteria flu interceptor service, is corasrt#
with priority policies of `the 2030 I~oglonal Framework and sari be provided wffFt
interceptor service in a much more economical manner when compared tc the cast of
extending. interceptor service to Elko and New Market.
In closing, on behalf of the City 'of Lakeville, we would note our. appreciation for this
opportunity to offer comment. Should there be questions with. respect to any of the
matters that we have raised, please contact Mr. Steven Mielke, the Lakeville City
Administrator at g52-985~t401.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Johnson,

Subject: Comments on the Metropolitan Council2ogo Transportation Plan
Dear Mr. Bell:
The City of Lakeville appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed
Metropolitan Counci12o3o Transportation Policy Plan. The City Council, at its
October i$, 2004 regular meeting, adopted the following comments relative to the
Proposed Plan.
• General Comments:
o Throughout the proposed plan, the Metropolitan Council recognized
that there is a shortage of adequate resourcesta meet the growing and
changing. needs of the region. The plan indicates that historic funding
sources are no longer adequate to meet those needs. Lakeville agrees
and suggests that the Metropolitan Council actively lobby for mare
resources to address the growing need for transportation investments in
the metropolitan region.
o Lakeville is one of the major growth centers in the region..The proposed
plan ignores that growth and provides zero dollars for highway
improvements and very limited suggestions of investments into transit.
As a growth center, Lakeville is unable to provide the capacity to
accommodate the growth. The plan needs to be amended to suggest
how the region will invest to accommodate the region's growth....
o State and regional investments into growth areas like Lakeville have not
kept pace,with the growing needs of the residents and businesses of this
area.. The proposed policy suggests that those regional needs will need
to be financed utilizing local resources due to the shortage of funds. This
is grossly unfair and is a form of an unfunded mandate do the Lakeville
and Dakota County area.

Mr. Peter Bell, Chair
Metropolitan Council '
October 20, 2004
o Without adequate funding for regional highway and transit needs, cities
and counties will behard-pressed to develop the types of housing
density envisioned by the Met Council since the roadway systems will be
inadequate to accommodate the. higher densities.
• Funding:
o In addition to there being an inadequate levels of funding for
transportation throughout the state, the distribution formulas for tltoee
dollars are inequitable and are based upon historic traffic p~ttet`ns,.
rather than modern day realities. The Metropolitan Council shot?ld
advocate for a change in the distribution formulas for '
so as to more fairly distribute existing dollars. The cu~rerat p~ +
be amended to indicate how new and additional revenues would lie
distributed, should they become available.
o Dakota County pays in at least $3. oo for every dollar it gets back in ,
County State Aid Highway money. Dakota.County isgr~ssly uiadar- ,
funded for county highways. As a result, Dakota County already
requires a greater "local match" than any other county in Minneseita
Dakota Countyrequires cities to provide 4g% of the cost of
improvements to county roads. This is done in great part due t4 tl~e lark
of state funding to Dakota County. Lakeville has more county
than any other city its size, so we have a grossly disproportionate local
burden to pay for regional roadways. Lakeville has stretched its local.
funding capabilities more than any other city and, as such, a local tax
burden to pay for regional facilities is higher than others and unfair
when compared to the rest of the state.
• Roadwaysi
o State guidelines suggest that principle arterials should be spaced every
three to six miles in developing areas, yet in Lakeville there is a gap of
more than i5 miles with no east/west principle arterials.
o The Metropolitan Council should advocate for both principle arterial
status for County State Aid Highway 7o and for MnDOT to take
jurisdictional and financial responsibility for this highway:,.
• Freight:
o County Road ~o, if connected to State Highway 50, has the opportunity
to connect areas of Scott and Dakota County and provide access to the
State's second largest industrial park. The Airlake Industrial Park has
the opportunity to provide for a regional intermodal freig4ht terminal
location if it is provided the necessary access to state and federal
highways.
Mr. Peter Bell, Chair
Metropolitan Couttcdl
October 20, 2004
o The Airlake Industrial Park is also at the proposed terminus of the Cedar
Avenue Bus Rapid Transitline. The combination of adequate highway
access and transit, along with the proposed freight terminal location,-
creates ahub of activity that is sought within the transportation plan, It
could provide for increased employment and with the transit, provide
for reverse commute opportunities with cities to the north. The
proposed plan inadequately provides for new developing areas, since any
plans to expand transit to growth centers will only ocxur if =new revenue
sources are developed. This policy serves to exacerbate the current
highway congestion.
• Transit:
o Lakeville is not currently participating in the Metropolitan Transit
Service Area. Each and every time. Lakeville has analyzed the oval
.benefit of participating, it has determined that the cost to Lakeville
taxpayers is not worthy of the limited access to transit opportunities.
The current Transportation Plan grovides little incentive for
communities like Lakeville to join the Transit Service Area.
o Within the Transit Plan; two potential bus rapid transit lines may extend
into Lakeville. The plan identifies these potential transit lines but
states that there are inadequate resources to construct or operate thoac
lines.. The plan provides for no funding of those lines unless additional'
resources are obtained.
• Comprehensive Land Use Plans:
o Policy r8 states that in order for a local comprehensive plan to be in
conformance with the Regional Transportation System, cities must plan
for the forecasts allocated to them and they must do so in a manner that
does not add traffic to already congested roads. Fhrthermore, it states
that extensions or capacity expansions to the regional sewer system will
be predicated on the state or local unit of government demonstrating
that, "adequate transportation improvement will be provided when
needed to avoid significant negative impact" on the highway system.
This is unrealistic and unachievable in most parts of the region,
especially given the congested state we are already in and the lack of
funding to address existing problems or future needs.
Lakeville is a growing community. As the region continues to grow, Lakeville will
grow as well. In order to accommodate that growth, regional investment will be
needed -not only in transit, but also in highway funding. Due to the current lack
of adequate resources, both Dakota County and the City of Lakevillg are expending
local tax dollars to provide for regional infrastructure. This is blatantly unfair and
will cause a need for the growth to be either halted or greatly reduced in density so
as to match the available transportation resources that will be available.

Labor Market News
Governor's Workforce Development Council Targets
Skill Shortage in New Investment Advisory
Citing the need to address a coming skill and labor shortage in Minnesota,
the Minnesota Governor's Workforce Development Council (GWDC)
recommends strategic investments in three business sectors and skill
upgrades for workers in a newly released online report, "Invcstmcnt
Advisory: Minnesota's Workforce Investment Portfolio."
"The Investment Advisory presents a strong case for continuous skill
development across our workforce investment portfolio, which requires an
investment in human capital," said Governor's Workforce Development
Council Vice-Chair Don Gcrdesmeier.
The Invcstmcnt Advisory rccommcndations include:
• Focusing education, workforce and economic development
resources to meet statewide market demands in healthcare,
manufacturing, and biosciences. Regional economic development
leaders may also pursue additional business sectors.
• Increasing business and personal wealth ofMinnesotans--including
the bottom 20 percent of earners--by upgrading academic, jab-
specitic, and career-exploration skills.
The Investment Advisory also offers specific policy direction and
investment rccommcndations to build on the State's economic strengths;
broaden the entry of more Minnesotans with more skills into the workforce;
support wealth-building strategies for businesses and workers; and support
decisionmaking at the local level.
The Invcstmcnt Advisory is available online at www.gwde.or¢. For more
information on the Investment Advisory, or to obtain print copies of the
report, contact Executive Director Luke Weisberg, C51-205-4728, or email
Luke. Weisberg~a.state.mn.us.
The Governor's GVorkforcc Development Council guides the State's
workforce development system to develop the skills of the workforce, and
ensures that skill development meets the needs of the State's economy. The
3I-member council represents business, labor, education, nonprofit sector,
Minnesota Legislature, and others with an interest in Minnesota's
workforce system.

Federal Technology Grant Boosts Economic
Development Efforts in the Twin Cities
A 5000,000 grant has been awarded to the University of Minnesota in
partnership with the Labor Market Information Office of the Minnesota
Department of Employment and Economic Development (DF,F.D}, and
county, city, and neighborhood organisations. The Technology
Opportunities Program (TOP} grant, awarded by the LJ.S. Department of
Commerce, will fund "Minnesota 3-D", a project that integrates Twin
Cities employment, labor force, housing, planning and other data into an
online mapping application.
Utilized to support the next generation of community economic
development, "Minnesota 3-D"will provide geographic analysis of current
dcvclopment patterns in a single, organized, accessible set of data that will
greatly assist with efforts to:
• Encourage job creation near areas with underutilized workforce
• Promote housing production and reinvestment near job growth
areas
• Support community economic dcvclopment activities at the local
level
"DEED'S role is to develop and host the database and Internet application,
which will build on the successes that the Labor Market Information Office
has had in the dcvclopment and deployment of their own web system," said
Steve Hine, DEEiD's Labor Market information Office Director.
am proud of our department's involvement with 'Minnesota 3-D' because
this project will add to the efficiency and effectiveness of our state's
economic dcvclopment programs, especially in the Twin Cities," said
DEED Commissioner Matt Kramer.
TOP is a highly competitive federal grant program that funds model
projects that demonstrate innovative uses of network technologies, and

New Economic Model Aims for More Strategic
Approach to Regional Development
A new economic model aimed at eliminating the shotgun approach to local
business recruitment efforts was unveiled at the Minnesota Development
Conference in Minneapolis.
The Enterprise Network System was developed by rescarchers at the
University of Minnesota Duluth and the Minnesota Department of
Employment and Economic Development (DEED) as part of a pilot project
in the Duluth-Superior area. Using data from the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS), UMD researchers developed a
comprehensive inventory of the "inputs"-goods, services and raw
materials -currently available in the area. Armed with the data,
rescarchers were then able to identify speciCc industries that could thrive in
the region, based on a majority of complementary resources and suppliers
already present.
Scott Moore, regional analyst for DEED's Labor Market information
Ot~ice, says this may be the first time Covered Employment and Wage
NA[CS data has been used to specifically match industries not yet
established with local resources in a region.
"Communities can make strategic choices about the industries and suppliers
they recruit -and create opportunities that meet the highest priorities of
local businesses." Moore said. "They will even be able to prioritize the
types of skills to develop far the jobs they want to create."
DEED funded the 550,000 project with the intention of incorporating the
lessons of the Duluth pilot into a statewide, locally driven, economic
development strategy.
"This model ot1'ers communities throughout the state a brand new ~vay of
marketing their assets to business," said DEED Commissioner Matt
Kramer. "It eliminates much of the guesswork that goes into local
recruitment efforts and replaces it with a more targeted, intentional and
strategic approach to economic development."
The Arca Partnership for Economic Expansion (APEX) has agrced to host a
community discussion on the results of the Duluth project.
""1'he Enterprise Network System is an effective tool to help validate and
evaluate what we know about our business community, and we are very
supportive of this pilot project in the'I'win Ports," said API-;X President
Rob West. "We are also excited to use this data to provide extremely useful
information for our regional economic development plans."

Hoffman Installs New Water Main with State Loan;
Meets Needs for Higher-Quality Drinking Water
Water main is being replaced throughout much of the Wcst Central city of
I {offman, ot3en described as where the hardwood forests end and the
western prairies begin, and residents will enjoy improved drinking-water
quality as a result. The local infrastructure project is funded with an
S880,248 low-interest loan from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority
(PFA).
http://www.edam.org/newsletter/EDAMOctNov2004/EDAMOctNov2004.htm 10/26/2004
The Developer -October/November 2004 Page 12 of 12
The PFA, the state's primary infrastructure financing authority, joined with
the Minnesota Department of Health in announcing the new loan.
"We expect the north end of town to be completed in a couple of weeks,
and the entire project is set for completion in 2005," said I loffrnan City
Administrator Patricia Lawson. About 4,545 feet of ti-inch water main will
be installed, along with 5,810 feet of 8-inch and 25 feet of 10-inch.
"A reliable, safe drinking water system is absolutely essential for meeting
the basic needs of this 672-member community," said Commissioner Matt
Kramer, chair of the PFA and head of the state Department of h:mployment
and Economic Development. "And beyond our expectations for clean
drinking water each time we turn on the tap, Hoffman's participation in this
funding program gives residents an additional economic benefit through the
substantial intcrest savings."
Over the 20-year term of the below market-rate loan, IIolTman taxpayers
and ratepayers can expect to realize intcrest savings of about $2fi1,773
compared to borrowing at market rates.
"[t is vital tv maintain the infrastructure that makes it possible to provide
safe drinking water. The loans provided through the revolving funds are an
important tool for making that happen," said Health Commissioner Dianne
Mandernach.
Created by the Legislature in 1987, the PFA has funded more than S 1.7
billion in infrastructure projects. The authority operates three revolving
loan funds for infrastructure projects, including the Drinking Water
Revolving Fund, Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund and
Transportation Revolving Loan Fund.
