Bill Monk then discussed the City's financing options for this project. The three options he explained were: 1. Tax Increment Financing - which does not appear to be feasible 2. State Aid/Assessments - which may be possible if Wilshire Blvd. is designated as a state aid street. 3. General Budget Funds - no money is budgeted at this time. Commissioner Grimes moved to refer the discussion item to the EDA Advisory Commission for their recommendations regarding potential economic development in the area and analysis of how the intersection options may impact that redevelopment. Commissioner Herbes seconded the motion. Motion carried. The Commissioner members then discussed potential funding for the Northern Mayor's Association Economic Development, which was removed from the City Budget at the last budget work session. Services of the Northern Mayor's Association and validity of the requested dues were discussed. Jerry Dulgar recommended that the EDA not pursue continued funding of the Economic Development effort in 1991. Questions regarding future financing of the EDA were raised at the last budget meeting, so the President requested that the EDA members discuss this matter further. He called upon Dave Kennedy to explain the different financing options of an EDA and an HRA. Mr. Kennedy explained that when the EDA was formed, it was given the authority to take over all projects and authority of the HRA. It is possible, he explained, that this may give the EDA authority to levy taxes in the same manner that the HRA could levy taxes outside the levy limits. Commissioner Irving moved to request the City Attorney to devise a fact sheet regarding the differences between EDA's and HRAs. Commissioner Langsdorf seconded the motion. Upon roll call vote, those members voting aye were: Elmer Carlson, Garry Grimes, John T. Irving, Gary Joselyn, Pauline Langsdorf, and John Moravec. Those members voting nay were: Betty Herbes.

Commissioner Irving seconded the motion. Motion carried. President Moravec asked the EDA members to consider EDA Resolution #90-11, a Resolution Approving Developer Partner in the 36th Ave./Hwy. 100 Project. He called upon Roger Jenson, Consultant to the Anthony Shopping Center Partnership, and Pat Moen, from the Real Estate Division of Super Valu, to explain the agreement the two parties have reached. Dave Kennedy, City Attorney, arrived at 6:09 p.m. Questions and discussion followed. The City Attorney explained the critical nature of the May 31, 1991 TIF deadline when a development contract must be approved. He suggested changing the date in the amendment to the Negotiation Agreement being considered from May 31, 1991 to April 1, 1991. Other questions followed. Commissioner Herbes moved to approve Resolution 90-11 with a change made to the termination date of the Agreement from May 31, 1991 to April 1, 1991. Commissioner Irving seconded the motion. Motion carried. The EDA members then considered recommendations from the EDA Advisory Commission regarding the Wilshire Blvd./Cty. Rd. 81 Intersection Study. Jerry Dulgar explained the EDA Advisory Commission's recommendation to pursue design concept 2A. He called upon Bill Monk, City Engineer, to further explain staff's concern about the impact that the signalized intersection design would have on properties on the west side of County Road 81, particularly the C.J. Frank's parcel. Mr. Monk requested that the EDA give staff more time to further study the design impact on the west side properties and to allow time for staff to revise Westwood Professional Services Intersection Study, if necessary. Questions and discussion followed. Mr. Castonia, owner of C.J. Frank's, spoke briefly regarding his concern of losing parking spaces at his property and possible damage to the value of his property, which is designed to be a multi -use building. No action was taken by the EDA, allowing staff more time to study the impact of the intersection on the -- west side properties. The EDA members then considered a request from the EDA Advisory Commission for the City Council to dedicate a portion of 1991 gambling revenues to the purpose of establishing a redevelopment fund. The President called upon Julie Jones to explain the background of the Advisory Commission's recommendation. Ms. Jones emphasized that the primary concern at this time is whether or not use of gambling revenues for a redevelopment fund is legally possible. Dave Kennedy explained that 10% of gambling revenues are required to go back to the City if the establishment does not return an acceptable portion of their revenues back to the trade area. Mr. Kennedy further explained that use of gambling revenues for establishment of a redevelopment fund would be a legally acceptable use if the money was not used as a direct subsidy to a developer. However, the availability of gambling revenues in the future in the City of Crystal is quite questionable. Questions and discussion followed. Commissioner Irving suggested that staff study the issue further and report back to the EDA with other funding options. The EDA members then considered a request from the EDA Advisory Commission to remove Anthony Brace from membership to the Advisory Commission since he had missed five consecutive meetings. Commissioner Grimes moved to remove Mr. Brace from the EDA Advisory Commission. Commissioner Herbes seconded the motion. Motion carried. It was noted by staff that the new Advisory Commission opening was for Ward 2. Since the time was approaching 7:00 p.m., the President moved ahead to agenda item #10, consideration of changing the regular January EDA meeting date to January 2 due to the New Year's Day Holiday. Commissioner Herbes moved to change the regular January meeting date to January 2, and Commissioner Irving seconded the motion. Motion carried. The President then returned to agenda item #9, discussion of materials on EDA/HRA differences. Commissioner Irving suggested that the EDA members defer discussion of this item until the next meeting to allow more time for the members to study the materials provided by the City Attorney. Commissioner Herbes moved to continue discussion of EDA/HRA differences until the next meeting. Commissioner Langsdorf seconded the motion. Motion carried. President Moravec then asked the Commissioners to consider the Crystal EDA Economic Development Policy drafted by the EDA Advisory Commission. Julie Jones explained that both the final and original version of the Economic Development Policy were included in the Commission members packets for their review. Commissioner Irving expressed his concern about the inflexibility of the Policy Statements. The Executive Director explained his opinion that the Policy Statements would only give ammunition to people in opposition of redevelopment projects. Commissioner Herbes moved to approve the original version of the EDA Economic Development Policy and goals. The motion failed for lack of a second. Commissioner Irving moved to direct the President to appoint a commission to further address the issue of EDA goals, objectives and policy. Commissioner Herbes seconded the motion. Motion carried. The Executive Director then gave a brief update of the status of the 36th Ave./Hwy. 100 TIF project, explaining that staff will be meeting with a Super Valu representative later in the week. The main concern to be discussed at the meeting will be the highway construction time line. The President requested that the Executive Director submit a written update after the meeting with Super Valu and include the update in the next City Council meeting packet. Due to time constraints, it was decided to move ahead to items later in the agenda. The EDA members then considered the establishment of sales prices for the new homes being built for the Minnesota Communities Program on Welcome Ave. N. Julie Jones explained her recommendation to establish the sales price for both properties at $70,000. Many commission members voiced their concern that the sales prices may be set too low, allowing for a prospective homeowner to quickly resell the property for a profit. Commissioner Irving moved to establish the sales price for both 3426 and 3432 Welcome Ave. N. at $70,000. Commissioner Grimes seconded the motion. Upon roll call vote, the following members voted aye: Garry Grimes, John T. Irving, and Gary Joselyn. Those members voting nay were: Elmer Carlson, Betty Herbes, Pauline Langsdorf, and John Moravec. The motion failed by a 3 to 4 vote. The President then recessed the meeting at 7:05 p.m., allowing the Council meeting to be called to order. The EDA meeting was then reconvened at 7:16 p.m. Commissioner Carlson moved to establish the sales price for both homes at 3426 and 3432 Welcome Ave. N. at $75,000 each, authorizing the Executive Director and the President to sign purchase agreements for the agreed upon sales price. Commissioner Herbes seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The Commission members were asked to review the Minnesota Communities Program Application - Commitment Agreement. Staff explained that it was not necessary for the EDA to formally execute the Agreement, however, since the EDA has been authorized by the City Council to administer the program, staff felt that the EDA should review the Commitment Agreement and indicate their approval to the terms. Commission Irving moved that the EDA agree to the terms of the Commitment Agreement. Commissioner Langsdorf seconded the motion. Motion carried. The EDA meeting was then recessed at 7:19 p.m. in order to proceed with the City Council meeting. The EDA meeting was reconvened at 9:35 p.m. The Commission then recessed for a break at 9:35 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:45 p.m. The EDA members then considered a revised Wilshire Blvd. Intersection Study as presented by City Engineer, Bill Monk. Commissioner Carlson moved to approve Concept 2A and to forward the Study to Hennepin County for their consideration in budgeting. Commissioner Herbes seconded the motion. Motion carried. The Executive Director explained that Paster Enterprises has approached staff with a potential redevelopment concept for the northeast quadrant of the Bass Lake Road/West Broadway intersection. The preliminary proposal, he explained, would include construction of a fast food restaurant and a gas station. The EDA members then discussed the suitability of the proposed redevelopment for the site. The Commission members did not find the intended use of the site in the redevelopment proposal desirable. There was not other business. Commissioner Commissioner adjourned at Langsdorf moved to adjourn the meeting. Irving seconded the motion. The meetinq 10:07 p.m. //Secretary
