RE: Update on Advanced Wireless Communications Project
At the May EDC meeting, staff reviewed three issues that were being addressed by
Advanced Wireless Communications to resolve a default in the Contract for Private
Redevelopment. A copy of the memo that was discussed at that meeting is attached.
Resolution of these issues was necessary in order for the project to move forward.
Staff is pleased to report that all of the issues identified in the May 22, 2003 memo have been
resolved. The last issue being the closing on the construction and permanent financing
which occurred on June 19th. I would specifically like to acknowledge the efforts of Mathew
Foli at the Campbell Knutson law firm. Mr. Foli ensured that the City's interests in the project
were protected while at the same time working with the other attorney's and lenders involved
in the project to make it a reality.
Site work has commenced on the site and aground-breaking ceremony has been scheduled
for 10:00 a.m. on June 23rd at the site. EDC members should have received invitations to the
ground-breaking and a copy of the invitation is also enclosed.

RE: Update on Advanced Wireless Communications Project
Considerable progress has been made on this project since the April 22, 2003 meeting of the
EDC. The City Attorney's Office provided Advanced Wireless a letter dated May 7, 2003 that
specifies the items need to completed by June 9, 2003 in order to resolve the current default
on the Contract for Private Redevelopment as amended. A copy of this letter is attached.
Amendment to Sublease Agreement
Advanced Wireless has reached agreement with its current landlord on a Lease Termination
Agreement. This agreement has been signed by Itron Inc. and requires that Advanced
Wireless vacate their present leased space by December 31, 2003 or be faced with a
monthly lease payment three times their current rate.
Approval and Issuance of a Building Permit
A complete building permit application was submitted on May 12, 2003. The initial review
letter for this building permit application will be completed by May 23, 2003. This will allow
adequate time for any remaining plan revisions or additional submittals that may be
necessary to issue a building permit by June 9, 2003.
Closing on Construction Financing
The City has received a copy of a signed Commercial Loan Commitment dated May 1, 2003
from Landmark Community Bank, N.A. for the Advanced Wireless Project. All indications are
that Advanced Wireless will be able to close on this construction financing and also receive
approval of its permanent project financing by June 9, 2003.
Staff will continue to keep the EDC apprised as to the status of this project. It is possible that
a ground-breaking for this project will occur prior to the next meeting of the EDC.

RE: Spotlight on Business: Aztec Inc.
The purpose of the Spotlight On Business program is "to inform residents on

growth" (Goal #1 of the Economic Development 2003 Strategic Work Plan).
Aztec Inc. will be featured at the June 16 Council Meeting. EDC member Dick
Miller will be in attendance to present information on Aztec Inc. and introduce
Operations Manager, Dave Sersen.
When Aztec Inc. relocated from Bloomington to Lakeville two years ago, they
brought with them over 30 years of experience with enhancing metal parts with
quality Plastisol Molding and Dip Coatings. Operations Manager, Dave Sersen

21455 Hamburg Avenue.
Along with their parent company Activar, Inc., Aztec Inc. works with Plastisol Dip
Coating, Molding and Fluidized Bed Powder Coating. Plastisol, a form of poly-
vinyl-chloride (PVC), Dip Coating can be found on many objects and is often the
preferred choice for items such as playground equipment, boat anchors and many
tools.
Plastisol Dip Molding entails using a mold of an actual part, submerging it in PVC
and curing it in an oven to make a hollow plastic form that fits over an object.
Some of the products produced from this process are slip-on grips, clamp pads
and shifter boots.
Fluidized Bed Powder coating is used to coat irregular shaped objects. Aztec Inc.
has used Fluidized Bed Powder coating on items like test tube and musical
instrument holders. The machinery at Aztec Inc. allows their employees to process
large orders in a small amount of time. For the month of May, Aztec Inc. coated
approximately 160,000 "S" hooks. Their machinery has the capacity to process
between 300,000 - 400,000 hooks per month if necessary.
Some of Aztec Inc.'s customers include Rainbow Play Systems, Smartecarte, Peer
Chain Company, Wenger Corporation, Sico America and Landscape Structures.
Not only does Aztec Inc. complete commercial orders but custom orders as well.
Aztec Inc. is currently processing an order for hospital equipment with only two
parts!
Aztec Inc. currently employs 14 full and part time employees. In addition to
employment, Aztec Inc. provides a substantial tax benefit to the community. The
Dakota County Assessor has assigned an estimated market value of $1.1 million to
Aztec Inc. building and property. This estimate has resulted in a company
contribution of $34,31.1 in local property taxes going to support the City, Dakota
