{ Development
DATE: August 4, 1999
SUBJECT:°Agenda Memo for August 9, 1999, EDA
Meeting
5. US Postal Service Presentation
The US Postal Service has prepared a presentation to the EDA and
HRA at this meeting regarding their planned relocation and expansion
of the post office from its current downtown location to a potential
Highway 169 location.
The following is a summary of discussions staff has had with
representatives of the post office regarding rdin the following
issues/questions regarding their planned relocation and expansion
project:
•The sites provided as options along Jackson Avenue did not
meet the requirements for the retail segment of the planned
post office expansion.
• The post office has been most favorable to sites that are on
major traffic corridors, creating high visibility for their
planned retail uses.
• The post office has proposed a central business district location
for a contract postal unit (CPU),which is similar to the type of
postal services that are often times seen in large grocery
stores.
• The post office is currently reviewing a site on Highway 169
near the mobile home park redevelopment project.
The post office presentation will likely include a review of the various
central business district sites that were reviewed and denied, along
with an update on the progress they are making toward the purchase
of a site for construction of their new facility.
In the last meeting with the postal service, their was complete
rejection of further discussion of splitting the retail and distribution

110 portions of their operation. The postal service did open the door for a
location of their entire operation within the CBD if a site could be
assembled on Highway 10 within the CBD. Staff indicated it would be
unlikely to assemble a 3 to 4 acre site on Highway 10 within the CBD.
It appears there will be a full contingent of postal service personnel at
this meeting for the presentation,including Steve Muyskens, real
estate specialist for the postal service, representatives from the retail
component of postal service operations, and local post office
representatives. There will be ample opportunity for questions and
comments from the EDA and HRA at this meeting regarding this
issue.

Expenses
As in the past, there really are three separate budgets for the economic
development department,including:
• Economic Development - General Fund

full time and part time salaries and benefits - to be divided among the
three categories as follows:

TO: Economic Development Authority
FROM: Marc Nevinski, Assistant Director of
Economic Development
DATE: August 9, 1999
SUBJECT: Revised Micro Loan Fund Policies
Issu e
AsY ou are aware, staff has been in the process of revising the Micro Loan
Fund polices. In July, the EDA Finance Committee reviewed a draft of the
revised policies and provided comments on various aspects of the revisions,
which have been incorporated into the attached draft. The EDA is now asked
to provide its comments and recommendations for the Micro Loan Fund
policy revisions.
Background
Two issues prompted modifications to the fund's policies. First, the need to
state clear guidelines for different loan fund uses (i.e. gap financing,
incentives, & redevelopment) required that various provisions of the policies
be restructured. Second, last minute passage of the Business Subsidy Law by
the state legislature placed restrictions on fund dollars and implemented
reporting requirements.
The result of these revisions is a loan fund that has three distinct loan
programs:
• The Supplemental Financing Program is designed fill a gap that may
exist between project costs and conventional financing sources. Up to
$50,000 is available to all Elk River industrial businesses for three years
at one point below prime.
• The Redevelopment Financing Program is designed for use by
businesses in the central business district. Although dollars may be used
for interior improvements, 20% of Micro Loan Fund dollars must be used
for facade restoration.
• The Incentive Financing Program is designed to attract industrial
businesses to the West Business Park.Industries locating in the park are
eligible to receive up to $100,000 for up to five years at four points below
• prime.

Equal Opportunity Housing and Equal Opportunity Employment
• Other modifications to the loan policies include:
• The structuring of Micro Loans as participation loans with the borrower's
primary lender. (p.4)
• Refinements in the explanation of the application and approval process.(p.5)
• Information and requirements associated with the State's Business
Subsidy Law. (p.7)
Several issues that the EDA may wish to discuss in its consideration of the
policy revisions include:
• The use of certain funds only in designated areas, such as the CBD or West
Business Park.
• Job creation and wage requirements in light of the trend towards
automation and extremely low unemployment rates. ("...Not all projects
assisted with subsidies derive their public purpose.... solely by virtue of job
creation."- Jim O'Meara)
• Repayment period, interest rates for various loan programs, or other loan
terms.
• Criteria for redevelopment loans in the Central Business District
Recommendations
Staff recommends that the EDA review the revisions, provide comments, and
• approve the revised polices with recommendations to be incorporated into the
final draft. State law mandates that a public hearing of the loan policies be
held before the revisions can be formally adopted. A final draft will be
prepared for comment at a public hearing at the September 13, 1999 EDA
meeting, after which the policies may be formally adopted.

MEMORANDUM
. TO: Clientele et al.
FROM: Jim O'Meara
DATE: July 28, 1999
RE: Business Subsidies (Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 through
116J.995, copy attached)
WARNING: Review only at "peak" times. Drink plenty of fluids. Prolonged exposure to
III this memo and the law which it summarizes may cause dizziness,headaches,
nausea,crankiness and loss of self-esteem. Side effects include memory loss,
aimlessness and staring blankly off into the distance,presumably in search of
one's retirement horizon.
The new Business Subsidies Band begins playing August 1 at a location near you.
The current"corporate welfare" law(Section 116J.991) is repealed on that date. Since the
legislative session ended,I've tried to persuade myself that this law really didn't pass. It died
in the House,but the Conference Committee resuscitated it. Maybe the Unicameralists are
on to something after all. The law appears as Article 12 of the 1999 Tax Bill (Laws 1999,
Chapter 243), and I guess it's time to face the music. Determining what is or isn't a
"subsidy"under this law, and what to do about it and when if it is,will be works in progress.
As usual,there are more questions than answers at this point. This memo focuses on the law
as it applies to local government, not the State.

Must Have Business Subsidy Policy
Step one is to hold a public hearing on and to adopt criteria for awarding subsidies.
These criteria "must include a policy regarding the wages to be paid for the jobs created."
Some comments:
• Each grantor or "local government agency" must hold a public hearing and
adopt its own policy. This includes each city, EDA, HRA, port authority,
community development agency, town, county, et al. For example, if your
city has an EDA and an HRA, all three need to do the drill.
• The definition of "local government agency" also includes any "nonprofit
entity created by a local government agency, or any other entity created by or
authorized by a local government with authority to provide business
subsidies." This language may hook some local development corporations,
particularly those which the local government helped create and/or may
support financially.
• A public hearing, afterpublished notice thereof, must be held on the policy. •
One publication of the notice is sufficient. There is no minimum or maximum
number of days prior to the hearing specified for the publication date.
• It appears that the "policy regarding the wages to be paid" does not require
specificity or any strict formula like "y jobs for every x thousand dollars of
subsidy." Instead, I would suggest more general guidelines since these
"subsidies," despite enumerated exceptions, cover a broad field, and
detailed/explicit policies on numbers of jobs and wage levels are soon likely
to conflict with very worthwhile, real-world projects. It isn't all about jobs.
• I have drafted and enclosed a sample policy and a form of the related public
hearing notice. I mean only to suggest it as legally sufficient, realizing that
local goals and preferences may vary widely.
• As the policy need not be specific, so it appears that the law itself does not
necessarily require that any jobs be created in connection with the subsidy,
particularly where a rationale supports the fact that a project simply does not
primarily involve the creation of jobs. The law specifically allows retention
1070094.1 2
BRIGGS AND MORGAN
• '
of existing jobs to be the goal, as long as the loss of those jobs is "imminent
and demonstrable."
• Subsidies can't be granted until the policy is adopted.
Definition of Subsidy; Exceptions
A subsidy is "a state or local government agency grant, contribution of personal
property, real property, infrastructure, the principal amount of a loan at rates below those
commercially available to the recipient, any reduction or deferral of any tax or any fee, any
guarantee of any payment under any loan, lease, or other obligation, or any preferential use
of government facilities given to a business." Keep this definition handy; review it every
time you're thinking of treating a business preferentially. Think ahead;compliance with this
law is complicated and time-consuming.
•
The law doesn't define "business" but does define "recipient" (which is presumably
IDwhat is meant by business) as any for-profit or non-profit business entity that receives a
business subsidy. There's an exception for non-profit entities which either have fewer than
100 full-time equivalent positions or have a ratio of highest to lowest paid employees that
does not exceed ten to one(determined on the basis of full-time equivalent positions):These
"small nonprofits" are not "recipients," so assistance to them isn't subject to this law.
The following are not business subsidies:
• A subsidy of less than $25,000.
• Assistance for housing,pollution control/abatement(including soils condition
TIF districts) or energy conservation.
• Assistance solely for renovating or bringing up to code old or decaying
building stock, provided the assistance is no more than 50% of the total cost.
• Redevelopment,but only when the recipient's investment(net of the subsidy?)
in site purchase and site preparation is at least 70% of the assessor's current
year's estimated market value of the site.
•
1070094.1 3
BRIGGS AND MORGAN
• Public improvements to buildings or land owned by the state/local government
that serve a public purpose and do not principally benefit a single business or
group of businesses.
• Assistance that is generally available to all businesses or to a general class of
similar businesses,such as a line of business,size,location,or similar general
criteria.
• The proceeds of obligations/bonds which received an allocation of bonding
authority under Chapter 474A(for example,small issue manufacturing IDB's
and multi-family rental housing bonds; but note here that "501(c)(3) bonds"
for"charitable" users do not require allocations, so they may be subsidies but
may qualify for the "small nonprofit" recipient or "housing" exceptions).
• There are a number of other exceptions, most of them of less widespread
application. Some of these are headscratchers on why they're even on the list
(e.g.,"workers'compensation and unemployment compensation"and"benefits
derived from regulation"). •
Are There More "Subsidies" Than You Think?
I encourage you to think expansively on all the ways in which local government action
results in the preferential financial treatment of a business. The analysis would go something
like this: First, is it a subsidy? Second, does it fall within one of the exceptions? And third,
is it being given to a"recipient"? Which items on the following list are or might be subsidies
and which of those subsidies may fall within an exception?
• Tax increment financing.
• Abatement.
• Preferential utility rates.
• Special assessment projects financed other than in accordance with city policy
(e.g., the city assesses only 25% instead of the usual 50%). What about
deferred assessments?
ID
1070094.1 4
• BRIGGS AND MORGAN
• Planning and zoning decisions, for example,variances, PUD's or special use
permits which effectively increase the value of the property.
Definition of Benefit Date
The "benefit date" is the date the recipient receives the subsidy. If the subsidy
involves the purchase,lease or donation of physical equipment,the benefit date begins when
the recipient puts the equipment into service. If the subsidy is for improvement to property,
the benefit date is the earlier of(1)the date on which the improvements are finished for the
"entire project"and(2)the date on which the business(the recipient?)occupies the property.
In general, the recipient has two years from the benefit date to achieve the job/wage goals.
That period can be extended by one more year if the grantor holds a public hearing on and
approves the extension.
• Public Purpose
Each business subsidy must meet a public purpose other than increasing the tax base.
If there are new jobs, I suppose that's the public purpose under this law. Job retention
qualifies only where job loss is imminent and demonstrable.
The Subsidy Agreement
The grantor and the recipient must sign a subsidy agreement which:
• Describes the amount and type of the subsidy and type of TIF district, if there
is one.
• States the public purpose for the subsidy.
• States the goals for the subsidy.
• Describes the financial obligations of the recipient if the goals aren't met.
•
1070094.1 5
BRIGGS AND MORGAN
• States why the subsidy is needed.
• Contains the recipient's commitment to continue operations at the site where
the subsidy is used for at least five years after the "benefit date" (another
elaborate definition). •
• States the names and address of the parent corporation of the recipient,if any.
• Lists all financial assistance by all grantors for the project (?), specifically
states the number ofjobs to be created(if any)within two years of the benefit
date,which may be separately stated for full-time and part-time,or the number
ofjobs to be retained if their loss is imminent and demonstrable,and the wage
goals for the jobs created/retained.
• States the recipient's obligation if it defaults on the subsidy agreement. If the
recipient fails to meet the "subsidy agreement goals," it must either pay back
the assistance with interest at the "implicit price deflator" of Section 275.70,
Subdivision 2 (don't ask). The grantor may prorate the repayment based on
4111
partial fulfillment of the(jobs?)goals. After a public hearing,the grantor may
also extend for up to one year the period for meeting the (jobs?) goals.
A recipient that defaults on a subsidy agreement can't receive any other subsidy for
a period of five years from the date of that default or until the recipient satisfies its repayment
obligations,whichever occurs earlier. For its part, the grantor must check the "compilation
and summary report" to be prepared annually by the Department of Trade and Economic
Development to determine whether the recipient is eligible to receive a new subsidy.
Business subsidies which are grants must be structured as forgivable loans. If the
business subsidy is not structured as a forgivable loan (and hence, presumably, is not a
grant?),the subsidy agreement must state the fair market value of the subsidy, including the
value of conveying property at less than fair market value or other in-kind benefits to the
recipient. If the subsidy benefits more than one recipient, the grantor must assign a
proportion of the subsidy to each recipient on a reasonable estimate of benefits basis.
The subsidy agreement must also be approved by the local elected governing body
(e.g.,the City Council),except for the St.Paul Port Authority and any seaway port authority.
1070094.1 6
BRIGGS AND MORGAN
•
Public Hearings Required for Subsidies in Excess of$100,000
If the subsidy from a local grantor exceeds$100,000,another public hearing must be
held,this one on the subsidy. This public hearing is not required"if a hearing and notice on
the subsidy is otherwise required by law." This exception is quizzical but presumably applies
in the case of tax increment financing where a City Council or County Board public hearing
is required,although the public hearing requirements for the subsidy are quite different from
the public hearing requirements for a TIF plan.
Pertaining to the public hearing on the subsidy:
• A notice must be published in a local paper of general circulation at least ten
days before the hearing.
• The notice must identify the location of information about the subsidy,
including where a copy of the subsidy agreement is available (meaning, of
• course, that the agreement has to be negotiated prior to starting the public
hearing process).
• Published notice should be "sufficiently conspicuous in size and placement to
distinguish the notice from the surrounding text" (the hiring of a single engine
plane to tow a banner over the County Fair is not required).
• The grantor must make the information available in "printed paper copies"
and,if possible, on the Internet. (Videos and subsidy web sites may be next.)
Reporting by Recipients, Grantors and DTED
If you thought the law was "really rolling" based on the above, hang on. One of the
criticisms of the expiring"corporate welfare" law was that reporting under it was spotty,not
enforced or resulted in skimpy, unreliable data. The think tankers assembled such
questionable data as there was,drew correspondingly inaccurate conclusions from it and set
out to correct the "problem." You'd think that doing "economic development" was like
storing spent uranium rods in your garage. As we know from the l'll:front, in the brave new

•
•
virtual world of accountability, it isn't what you do that counts, it's whether you can report
on it. Anyway.
On reporting by the recipient:
• Recipients must report until the job goals are met or the assistance is repaid.
• The forms are to be developed by DTED and copies of the completed reports
must be sent to the Commissioner of DTED and to the local government
agency that provided the subsidy.
• The reports must include the type,public purpose,and amount of subsidies and
type of TIF district, if any (this was already required to be in the subsidy
agreement). The reports must also include:
• The hourly wage of each job created with separate bands of wages.
• The sum of the hourly wages and cost of health insurance provided by the ip
employer with separate bands of wages.
• The date the job and wage goals will be reached.
• A statement of goals identified in the subsidy agreement and an update of
achievement of those goals.
• The locations of the recipient prior to receiving the subsidy(it's a little late for
that).
• Why the recipient did not complete the project outlined in the agreement at its
previous location, if the recipient was previously located at another site in
Minnesota (there seems to be a trend here).
• The name and address of the parent corporation of the recipient, if any.
• A list of all financial assistance by all grantors for the project.
• Other information the Commissioner may request.
1070094.1 8
BRIGGS AND MORGAN
110
• Reports must be filed no later than March 1 of each year for the previous year
and within 30 days after the deadline for meeting the job and wage goals.
• Recipients of assistance which falls under certain pollution and redevelopment
exceptions to the definition of business subsidy must nonetheless report based
on a slightly shorter list of requirements.
• If the recipient doesn't make its reports, the local government agency must
mail the recipient a warning within one week of the required filing date. If,
after 14 days of the postmarked date (to be precise) of the warning, the
recipient fails to provide the report, then the recipient must pay the grantor a
penalty of $100 for each subsequent day until the report is filed, up to a
maximum of$1,000.
Local government agencies with a population of more than 2,500 also have significant
reporting requirements to the Commissioner. These include:
• • A list of recipients that did not complete their reports.
P P P
• A list of recipients that haven't met their job and wage goals and the steps
being taken to bring them into compliance or to recover the subsidy.
• If the Commissioner doesn't receive the report by April 1,the Commissioner
must issue a warning to the government agency. If the report isn't in by June
1,the local government agency may not award any business subsidies until the
report has been filed.
Finally, DTED has significant collating and publishing responsibilities on all this
information. Goodness.

Business Subsidy Policy
i
This Policy is adopted for purposes of the business subsidies act (the "Act"), which is
Minnesota Statutes,Sections 116J.993 through 116J.995. Terms used in this Policy are intended to
have the same meanings as used in the Act,and this Policy shall apply only with respect to subsidies
granted under the Act if and to the extend required thereby.
While it is recognized that the creation of good paying jobs is.a desirable goal which benefits
the community, it must also be recognized that not all projects assisted with subsidies derive their
public purposes and importance solely by virtue of job creation. In addition,the imposition of high
job creation requirements and high wage levels may be unrealistic and counter-productive in the face
of larger economic forces and the financial and competitive circumstances of an individual business.
With respect to subsidies,the determination of the number of jobs to be created and the wage
levels thereof shall be guided by the following principles and criteria:
• Each project shall be evaluated on a case by case basis,recognizing its importance
and benefit to the community from all perspectives, including created or retained
• employment positions.
• If a particular project does not involve the creation of jobs,but is nonetheless found
to be worthy of support and subsidy,it may be approved without any specific job or •
wage goals, as may be permitted by applicable law.
• In cases where the objective is the retention of existing jobs, the recipient of the
subsidy shall be required to provide reasonably demonstrable evidence that the loss
of those jobs is imminent.
• The setting of wage and job goals must be sensitive to prevailing wage rates, local
economic conditions,external economic forces over which neither the grantor nor the
recipient of the subsidy has control,the individual financial resources of the recipient
and the competitive environment in which the recipient's business exists.
• Because it is not possible to anticipate every type of project which may in its context
and time present desirable community building or preservation goals and objectives,
the governing body must retain the right in its discretion to approve projects and
subsidies which may vary from the principles and criteria of this Policy.
