Attachments
• Business Incubator Budget Description
• Business Incubator Lease, Renewals, and Amendments
• Business Incubator Proposal for Fourth Term Lease Renewal
• Issue
The lease with Larry Hickman of the Business Incubator building will expire April 15, 2005. Staff is
requesting that the EDA consider renewing the lease with Mr. Hickman so that prospective tenants
may consider sub-leasing space in the building for a period of at least one year. The Business
Incubator Budget Description is attached as background information of the program.
Background
Following is a summarized history of the Business Incubator lease:
1997 EDA establishes 2-year lease for 13,186 square feet (6 suites) at a rate of$1.50/sf.
1998 EDA renews lease at a rate of$1.65/sf for the period of April 1999 to April 2001.
2000 EDA renews lease at a rate of$1.85/sf for the period of April 2001 to April 2003.
2001 EDA amends lease to reduce space to 7,522 square feet (4 suites) at$1.85/sf.
2002 EDA amends lease to increase space to 9,789 square feet (6 suites) to accommodate
incubator tenant,K-Netica.
2003 EDA renews lease at a rate of$2.10/sf for the period of April 2003 to April 2005
and reduces space to 7,037 square feet (3 suites).
• 2004 EDA amends lease to reduce space to 6,569 square feet (3 suites).
Consider Lease Renewal of Business Incubator

. Current tenants of the Incubator Program are K-Netica and Lap2 Technology Corporation. They
are charged$4.00/sf cash rent and$7.00/sf stock value for sublease of the Incubator space.
New prospects for the Incubator are evaluated by staff and the Incubator Program consultant,
Harlan Jacobs of Genesis Business Centers. Identifying a new site to accommodate high-tech
companies which require city water and sewer and space designed for light industrial uses has been a
challenge. This is due to finding the right building owner with interest in the Incubator Program
and the cost of a new building causes a change in the economic structure of the program.
The attached original lease from 1997 with Mr. Hickman suggests a base rent for the third renewal
term as "not to exceed$3.00 per square foot." Currently, the EDA is leasing 6,569 square feet (3
suites) at a rate of$2.10/sf.
Recommendation
Per the attached staff proposal, staff recommends that the EDA consider a fourth renewal term of
the Business Incubator lease with Mr. Hickman for up to 2-years for 6,569 square feet (3 suites) at a
lease rate of$2.10/sf and a maintenance rate of$0.09/sf.

BUSINESS INCUBATOR
Economic Development Authority(EDA) discussion on the establishment of a business
incubator program began in earnest in 1996. These discussions led to the EDA entering
into a lease for office space and completing some building leasehold improvements in
1997. This followed with the first business incubator tenants occupying office space in
1998.
The goal of the business incubator program is to develop long-term relationships with
young, growing companies that have an emphasis on new technologies and to help
these companies become established. After a few years in the city business incubator
office space, the companies should be sufficiently established so they can go out into the
Elk River community and either rent building space at market value or hopefully,
construct a facility for their business.
The concept behind the business incubator program is to offer discounted office space
for emerging businesses so that these companies will have time to develop without the
burden of having a significant cash outflow for operating expenses. The city works with
Harlan Jacobs of Genesis Business Centers to recruit prospects for the incubator
program and also to provide technical advice to the young companies on establishing
business plans. Another piece of the collaborative puzzle is the city working with the
Anoka-Sherburne County Capital Fund, the Elk River Investment Club, and the Central
MN Initiative Foundation in order to help provide venture capital investments for new
businesses.
The city incubator program is located at 16820 Highway 10. In 2003, the EDA renewed
• its lease for two years, but on only 7,037 square feet. The space leased includes three
office suites, common space, and one small conference room. In addition the building
owner, Larry Hickman, assumes responsibility for all building maintenance. (This current
lease is a slight reduction from 7,500 square feet and 4 offices that was in the previous
lease and a big reduction from 6 offices and 13,000 square feet that was in the original
1997 lease.) Currently two of the office suites are occupied and the EDA staff and
incubator consultant are actively soliciting proposals for additional tenants. In 2002 the
EDA directed staff to explore moving the incubator program into a building that would be
more "technology-friendly"for the types of companies that are being recruited.
Limitations of the present building include lack of municipal services and
production/assembly space. Identifying a new site has been a challenge due to finding
the right building owner with interest in the incubator program, and the cost of a new
building causes a change in the economic structure of the program.
Funding for the business incubator program comes from the cash rent that the EDA
receives and from a transfer out from the loan program that was established for this type
of project. With minimal rents being received and minimal leasehold improvements being
required, it is estimated that the loan fund for this project will last only another 4 years. At
the time of evaluating new site options for the program, discussions also need to take
place regarding the success of the program, funds for the program after 4 more years,
and the desirability to continue the program.
Expenditures for the business incubator program are shown on the adjacent page. The
other professional services line item is for the consulting contract with Mr. Jacobs. In
2003 the EDA increased the monthly consulting services to$1000 for Mr. Jacobs'work
to identify prospects, complete due diligence of prospects, and to assist companies in
the incubator. The other expenses in the budget are self-explanatory.

the Premises or Tenant's negligent performance of or failure to perform any of its obligations
under this Lease. In case Landlord or its employees or agents shall, without fault on their part, be

balance of the Lease term or for a shorter or longer term and receive
the rents therefor, applying them first to the payment of the expense

breach or to declare a default by Tenant shall not be construed to constitute unremedied.
12

Dear Mr. Hickman:
Subject: Business Incubator Lease
At its meeting on April 13, 1998, the Economic Development Authority
unanimously approved an extension of its lease in the former Furniture and
Things building for a period of two years. The term of the current-lease was
scheduled to end on April 14, 1999. The action as taken by the Economic
Development Authority extends this lease from April 15, 1999, to April 14,
2001, at a renewal term lease rate of$1.65 per square foot for 13,186 square
feet of space.
I would also like take this opportunity to pass along several favorable
comments which were mentioned by EDA members regarding your
participation in this business incubator project. It is evident that this project
would not have become a reality without your partnership and cooperation.
Please be advised also that we are planning a business incubator open house
on Thursday, June 11, 1998, from approximately 4-6 p.m. Please notify me if
you will be unable to attend the open house.
Sincerely,
Paul T. Steinman

Subject: Business Incubator Lease — Second Renewal Term
Dear Mr. Hickman:
At a special meeting on April 24, 2000, the Economic Development Authority
unanimously approved an extension of its lease in the former Furniture and
Things building for a period of two years. The term of the current lease is
11111 scheduled to end on April 14, 2001. The action as taken by the EDA extends
this lease from April 15, 2001, to April 14, 2003, at the second renewal term
lease rate of$1.85 per square foot for 13,186 square feet of space.
The EDA will again consider renewing the lease of the business incubator in
January of 2002 for a third term that will run from April 15, 2003 to April 14,
2005.
On behalf of the Economic Development Authority, I would like to convey my
appreciation for your partnership and cooperation in the incubator program.
Although the program's success to date has been limited, it has generated a
fair amount of publicity for the City and contributed to its reputation as a
pro-business community. Hopefully the program will experience further
success in the near future.
Sincerely,
Marc D. Nevinski
Acting Director of Economic Development
