Present: Commissioners: Nelson, Zaun, Sindt and Chairperson Enright. Absent: Commissioner Harvey. Also present: Patrick McGarvey, Executive Director. 87.10 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Zaun to approve the minutes of the February 17, 1987, H.R.A. meeting. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Enright, Sindt, Nelson. The Executive Director advised the commissioners that the Dallas Development Company was not prepared to enter into a development contract with the H.R.A. for the economic development of the Power Center district due to the fact that they had not secured a lease with a family restaurant for that portion of the project. He also ex- plained that the developer was not satisfied with the requirements of the City concerning a letter of credit and financial security for the life of the bond payment schedule due to the fact that letters of credit reduce their line of credit at their bank. The commissioners indicated that unless a developer is ready and willing to meet the financial security requirements and guarantee the payment of the property taxes the entire rate of the bond payment schedule, the City is not willing to participate in a tax increment financing district or plan. 87.11 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to table, until the time that we have a developer who is ready and willing to meet the finan- cial requirements of the City, adopting resolution approving the economic development plan and tax increment financing plan for the Power Center district. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Nelson, Zaun. At this time, Chairperson Enright re- opened the public hearing on the Power Center economic development district. The Executive Director attested to the legal notice for the original opening of the public hearing. 87.12 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to continue the public hearing until such time as the City has a developer who can meet the terms of the City for participation in the economic development district and tax increment financing plan. HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MARCH 2, 1987 Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Nelson, Zaun, Enright. Commissioner Nelson asked about possibly involving the H.R.A. in redeveloping and cleaning up the housing area along the east side of Highway 50 just to the southeast of Southfork Center and SouthFork apartment project. The Executive Director explained that the matter had been discussed with Mark Ulfers of the Dakota County H.R.A., and that if progress is not made in providing a sufficient tax increment and then arriving at a negotiated satisfactory purchase of the Windsor Grain silos in the central business district area of Lakeville, the 1987 community development block grant funding the City will be receiving through the Dakota County H.R.A. from the federal government could and should be transferred to hopefully redeveloping this area. 87.13 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to adjourn the H.R.A. meeting.
