• The Executive Director reviewed the check register which was enclosed in the
EDA packet. EDA Commissioners reviewed the check register and
acknowledged its receipt.
7. Consider a Request For Tax Increment Financing Assistance From Neos, Inc.
Executive Director Bill Rubin acknowledged that the EDA is in receipt of a
request for tax increment financing from Mr. Jock Mowry of Neos, Inc., 12797
Meadowvale Rood. Mr. Mowry is proposing construction of a 16,000 square foot
multi-tenant facility to be located in the McChesney Industrial Park. The
Executive Director stated that Mr. Mowry is requesting TIF funds in the amount of
$80,000, $60,000 of which would be used to write down the acquisition price of
the lots in the industrial park and $20,000 which will be used for site preparation.
Executive Director Bill Rubin stated that an Economic Development District
would be established. He indicated that new TIF districts created by a city will
result in a loss of state aid. The EDA discussed the impact that a new TIF district
would have on the city regarding the possible loss of state aid funds.
Bill Rubin informed the EDA that the finished market value of the building is
proposed to be $585,000.00. He further stated that when completed Neos, Inc.
and the tenants in the facility would create sixteen new jobs and retain sixteen
jobs. Bill Rubin discussed the need for a public hearing to discuss the terms and
conditions of the sale of the property.
COMMISSIONER DWYER MOVED THAT THE EDA UNDERTAKE THE FOLLOWING:
• PREPARE A TIF PLAN FOR THE MOWRY/NEOS, INC. EXPANSION
• SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 12, 1995 TO CONSIDER THE
ADOPTION OF THE TIF PLAN
• AUTHORIZE A 90 DAY OPTION ON LOT 6 AND 7, MCCHESNEY INDUSTRIAL

possible sale of Lot 8, Block 1, Elk River Industrial Park to the school district. He
indicated that the school district would use the property to construct a

• Ron Bratlie on behalf of the School Boardresented the EDA with a site drawing
9
of the proposed facility. He informed the EDA that it is the intention of the
school district to have no outside storage at the facility. The EDA indicated its
concern regarding future expansion. Mr. Bratlie indicated that it is planned that
this building will meet the needs of the school district for at least ten years and
that there has been room provided for expansion.
Commissioner Holmgren indicated his concerns regarding outside storage and
expansion of the site have been addressed. He indicated that he still has a
concern regarding the use of this site for a tax-exempt entity.
Ron Bratlie indicated that space is limited for this type of facility. He further
stated that the school district has searched other areas but felt that this site was
best suited for the district's maintenance facility.
There being no further comments, President Gongoll closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Dwyer stated that he would support the sale of the industrial park
property to the school district if the alternate site, located at the Oak Knoll fields,
would remain as part of the Oak Knoll park and not be used by the school
district for some other purpose in the future.
Commissioner Farber indicated that the industrial park site is not a prime site due
• to the wetlands. He further indicated his concern regarding the lack of
recreational fields and stated that he would also prefer that the Oak Knoll park
alternate site remain as park land.
Commissioner Holmgren indicated that he concurred with Commissioner Dwyer,
and Commissioner Farber regarding the Oak Knoll property.
COMMISSIONER HOLMGREN MOVED TO PROCEED WITH THE NEGOTIATION OF THE
SALE OF LOT 8, BLOCK 1, ELK RIVER INDUSTRIAL PARK TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AT
A PRICE BETWEEN $37,500 to $45,000. COMMISSIONER DWYER SECONDED THE
MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 6-0-1. PRESIDENT GONGOLL ABSTAINED.
8. Update On The City's Review And Permitting Process
Executive Director Bill Rubin informed the EDA that Training Networks, Inc. has
submitted a revised proposal for facilitated planning, staff training, internal
teamwork and information flow, as outlined in the needs assessment report.
President Gongoll stated he supports the efforts and recommends that the City
Council strongly consider approving the revised report.
Commissioner Dwyer indicated that if this proposal is going to be successful, the
City must move on to the next phase.
