ACTION REQUESTED This is an informational item only and no action is requested. 6. ICE ARENA FEASIBILITY STUDY At its March 14 meeting, EDA Commissioners received a committee recommendation to select the firm of Marquette Partners to complete an independent feasibility study regarding the proposed construction of a second ice arena in the community. Pursuant to the acceptance agreement, the cost to complete the study is $10,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $1,000. Under separate cover, Marquette's final report was previously distributed to EDA Commissioners. Mr. Stephen Sherf, Executive Vice President, Hospitality Consulting Group of Marquette Partners, will Alk be in attendance to discuss the results of the study. The report is 11. broken down into three categories: a.) background information, b.) P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330-1743 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 Equal Opportunity Housing and Equal Opportunity Employment market analysis, and c) financial feasibility. The project costs are • estimated as follows: Building construction $2,475,000 Aluminum bleachers $ 15,000 Concrete base $ 67,000 Contractors fees $ 120,000 Market study and other fees $ 11,000 Contingency $ 269,000 Total Cost $2,957,000 The following items are not included in this estimate: site preparation work, parking lot improvements, landscaping amenities, sewer access charge, water access charge, and the like. Cost of issuance fees, etc., likely results in a $3,300,000 bond issue for the project. The estimated cash flow from the arena ($181,000 in its third full year) can support approximately $1,847,000 in debt with a required 105 percent coverage ratio. Mr. Sherf's presentation will no doubt lead to numerous opportunities for questions and clarification. EDA Commissioners should come prepared with his or her questions. • ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to accept the feasibility study as prepared by Marquette Partners. The EDA is asked to refer this matter to the Elk River City Council for further review. 7. QUIT CLAIM DEED - TALBOT PROPERTY EASEMENT The Attorney for Elk Park Center Limited Partnership has raised an easement title objection relating to said Partnership's acquisition of the Jim Talbot property along County Road 1. The Partnership is acquiring this parcel for purposes of relocating Mr. Bill Dickenson's bus operation currently located along Jackson Road. The easement objection affects the Elk River EDA. The EDA may have a possible claim of an easement as the owner of the • land lying west of and adjacent to the Talbot property (Elk River Industrial Park). This claim of an easement arose from a deed in 1974 from the Carton family to Elk River Associated Investors, Inc. Said easement relates to the Carton family providing a 66 foot easement over its property in order for the Associated Investors to enter the Industrial Park. With the Associated Investors sale of its remaining property to the EDA in 1992, the EDA is considered the Investor's successor or assigns. It does not appear, however, that a claim was ever recorded actually creating the easement referenced in 1974. In order to clear this title objection, the Elk Park Partnership is asking the EDA to execute a Quit Claim Deed as evidence that it does not claim an interest in the Talbot property. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to authorize its President and its Executive Director to sign a Quit Claim Deed releasing its deed to a 66 foot easement interest in the James Talbot property located adjacent to the Elk River Industrial Park along County Road#1. 8. SUPPORT FOR CERTIFIED DEVELOPMENT COMPANY'S TEMPORARY EXPANSION In mid to late April, EDA Commissioner Pat Dwyer had a meeting with a Director and the.Administrator of the renamed Coon Rapids Development Company (CRDC). Its new legal name is Central Minnesota Development Company (CMDC), and this change was authorized by its shareholders at its annual meeting in November, 1993. With the name change, CMDC still desires to expand its service territory and the candidate counties are Sherburne and Isanti. CMDC's strategy for this expansion would be to establish alliances with banks in the respective counties to create a prospect referral system. For that reason, a meeting was scheduled with Pat Dwyer as a representative of The Bank of Elk River, Among other things, Commissioner Dwyer learned the following in his meeting with CMDC officials: • This group has severed its ties with the City of Coon Rapids. • Although it is still a nine member Board, approximately 52 percent of its shareholders live outside the Coon Rapids city limits; 1/3 of its shareholders live outside of Anoka County. • With its name reflecting a multi-county focus, the • organization desires to expand to serve a greater client base. • Revenues derived from loan originations and monthly servicing fees would be used to run CMDC; however, this group would also be active in all three counties with business financing seminars, etc. CMDC is seeking on one-year, temporary expansion of its service territory into Sherburne and Isanti counties. The chances of gaining approval of this request are much better than seeking a permanent expansion. A temporary expansion enables municipalities and lenders in Isanti and Sherburne to "try before you buy". With the expansion request, CMDC seeks letters of support from financial institutions, municipalities, economic development authorities and the like. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to submit a letter of support on behalf of the Central Minnesota Development Company (CMDC) regarding its request for a temporary, one-year service territory expansion into Sherburne • County. 9. LOAN TRANSFER The EDA is in receipt of a request by Coldwell Banker Allegiance Realty to transfer the outstanding balance of a real estate loan on an office suite on the Evans-Main Street office building to a new office suite in the Freeport Financial Center building. EDA Commissioners will recall that it approved a $27,500 loan to the principals of Coldwell Banker in late 1992. This loan was closed in February, 1993, and payments commenced on March 1, 1993. This loan is now over one year old and has performed satisfactorily. With the May 1, 1994, payment, just over $25,100 is still owed the EDA. Of this amount, approximately $20,400 is owed on the real estate portion of the loan. If this loan transfer is approved, the portion of the loan attributable to financing the telephone system will be paid down completely thereby reducing the EDA's exposure. As an aside, the space that Coldwell Banker will vacate in the Evans Main building will be freed up to enable other tenants/owners to expand internally. As indicated in its letter requesting this transfer, • Coldwell Banker is willing to pay the attorney's fees and closing costs associated with this transaction. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to approve Coldwell Bankers request to transfer its • real estate mortgage in an amount not to exceed $20,430. 10. APPRAISAL OF BUSINESS PARK SITE In discussions with Mr. Tony Emmerich,land prices are being exchanged and we are now at the stage where an appraisal is required in order to establish the estimated fair market value of the property in question. Policy suggests that when public funds are used in any real estate transaction, an appraisal is conducted in order to define the parameters of the fair market value. The City of Elk River has used several appraisal companies with its real estate needs in recent years. The following companies were contacted with respect to the potential engagement of the valuation of the business park property currently owned by Mr. Emmerich: NAME TIME FRAME FEE Shenehon 30 days $4,000 Panger & Benson 30 days $2,500 Patchin &Assoc. 30 days $2,500 Commissioner Dwyer followed-up with a telephone call to Ken Panger of Panger & Benson. This firm intends to examine issues such as infrastructure costs, holding costs, time, absorption rates, etc., in order to establish a fair market value. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to engage Panger &Benson of St. Cloud, Minnesota, for purposes of completing an appraisal to establish the fair market value of approximately 35 acres of business park land currently owned by Mr. Tony Emmerich. 11. NOVELTY MARKETING CONCEPTS Up to five novelty items will be presented to the EDA Commissioners for its consideration relating to a novelty marketing project for 1994. • 12.

This claim of easement arose from a deed dated April 3, 1974 from Sofie Carton, Paul Carton and Lois E. Carton, to Elk River Associated Investors, Inc. A copy of the abstract entry referencing this deed is enclosed herein for your reference. It does not appear that a deed was ever recorded actually creating the easement referenced in this April 3, 1974 deed. In order to clear this title objection, we are asking that the Economic Development Authority of the City of Elk River execute a Quit Claim Deed as evidence that they claim no interest in the Talbot Parcel. The ownership of the adjoining property by the EDA was confirmed in a telephone conversation with the Sherburne County Recorder's office. The enclosed deed runs to James Talbot, the present owner of the vendee's interest under a Contract for Deed for the property. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Box 33346 • Coon Rapids, Minnesota 55433 (612) 755-2304 • Fax (612) 757-4955 March 21, 1994 Mr. James Simpson Bank of Elk River 630 Main Street Elk River, MN 55330 RE: CENTRAL MINNESOTA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY Dear Mr. Simpson: Nearly one year ago, representatives of Central Minnesota Development Company (CMDC) met with a group of lenders from Sherburne and Isanti Counties to discuss how our organization could be of assistance to businesses located in those counties. Formerly known as Coon Rapids Development Company, CMDC is one of eight private, non-profit development companies in the state of Minnesota whose function is to pre-screen loans for the Small Business Administration (SBA), and to service those loans once they are granted. Currently, our • service area is limited to Anoka County; however, we continue to be contacted periodically by banks outside of this area, asking if we can provide assistance to their borrowers because of our close proximity to Sherburne and Isanti Counties. The purpose of this letter is to tell you that CMDC continues to be interested in providing SBA loan assistance to businesses outside of our network. We would like to meet with you to determine if your bank shares this interest, as well. In a few days, Mr. Mike Mulrooney, one of CMDC's new Directors, will contact you to schedule an appointment to discuss how our organization can benefit both you and your business borrowers. We believe that bank support is the most crucial element to the continued success of our loan program and organization. I have included with this letter information on the SBA 504 loan program which CMDC is certified to administer. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Central Minnesota Development Company )727&.. Kristin M. Wood • Administrator KMW:ld Enclosure cc: Mike Mulrooney CENTRAL MINNESOTA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY • SBA 504 Loan Application Process ss 1) Initial review with client to discuss project and SBA loan guidelines. 2) Financial analysis is performed by CMDC to determine project feasibility. 3) CMDC proposes a financing structure which it believes would gain loan approval from the SBA. 4) Assuming Small Business Concern (SBC) wishes to proceed with the formal loan application, a Retainer and Application Agreement are signed, and a $1,500 refundable deposit is collected (refundable if, and only if, the project closes and bonds are sold for the project). 5) CMDC representative works closely with SBC to gather list of information needed to prepare 504 loan application. 6) CMDC distributes completed loan application to bank(s). 7) Once a formal commitment letter is issued by the bank, the loan application is presented to the CMDC Board of Directors for approval (CMDC's function is to prescreen loans for the SBA). The CMDC Board meetings are scheduled on the second Tuesday of each month. Special meetings can be scheduled, if necessary, to accommodate the client. 8) The participating bank orders an as-built appraisal of the real estate, to include any remodelling, improvements, or new construction for the project. (The loan application cannot be submitted to the SBA without this document.) 9) Assuming that the CMDC Board votes to approve the project, the loan application is submitted to the SBA. 10) The SBA Finance Division reviews the loan application. Depending upon work volume, this review process generally takes 15 - 20 working days. 11) SBA loan officer calls CMDC to grant verbal approval to the project. -1- 12) Written SBA approval is granted 5-7 days after verbal confirmation. The SBA commitment is valid for one year. • 13) A closing is scheduled between the bank and the SBC. The bank acts as interim lender on the project, advancing both the bank and SBA funds to the SBC, enabling work on the project to commence. 14) Construction, additions and/or remodelling, and purchase of machinery and equipment take place. (Be certain to save cancelled checks or paid invoices on the work performed, in order to demonstrate owner's equity injection into the project. Soon after loan approval is granted, the SBC is advised to begin the process by which life insurance in the amount of the SBA loan is collaterally assigned to the SBA. 15) SBA portion of the loan is closed only when all funds have been disbursed and construction/remodelling is complete. 16) SBA closing process occurs in three stages: • A) Preclosing Meeting - CMDC attorney and Administrator meet with SBC to discuss the checklist of required closing documents. SBC is given a short list of documents to obtain. CMDC works directly with borrower's attorney and insurance agents to prepare for closing meeting. B) Closing Meeting - Typically held four weeks after the preclosing, this is the time that formal documents of indebtedness are signed. C) Debenture Sale - Occurs approximately six weeks after the formal closing meeting, on the second Wednesday of the month. The interest rate on the SBC's loan is not set until these bonds sell, therefore, the rate of interest is unknown to the SBC on the day of closing. NOTE: The $1,500 deposit is refundable to the SBC at this stage. 17) SBC pays interim interest to the bank until the date of the debenture sale. Colson Services Corporation (the fiscal agent for the SBA) wire transfers government funds directly to the bank, bringing the bank down to its permanent mortgage level. 18) SBC makes two payments each month - one to the bank, one to the SBA. The SBA automatically debits the SBC's bank account on the first day of each month. The first SBA payment occurs on the first day of the month directly • following the debenture sale. -2- • Request for a Temporary (1-year) Expansion Pros: Cons: 1) Less paperwork for Minneapolis 1) Same amount of paperwork for SBA office. CRDC. 2) Decision can be made locally. 2) CRDC would have to repeat 3) Written letters of support from paperwork in one year. Counties may carry greater 3) Permanent expansion is NOT weight. guaranteed. 4) "Try before you buy" opportunity for both CRDC and new Counties. 5) Technically, the new OMNI would be given a chance to perform. Whatever course of action CRDC chooses - temporary or permanent expansion, the • Board should be aware that the Minneapolis SBA would prefer NOT to be forced to choose among the competing development companies; the SBA would like to see this issue go away. Furthermore, the work volume is so high at the SBA and that office is so understaffed, that any issue which causes a great deal of research or paperwork on the part of the SBA will not be welcomed. There is nothing in the regulations which would prohibit CRDC from requesting a temporary expansion if we are denied a permanent expansion first. However, we need to be aware that this strategy could backfire on us in that we would be taking an over-worked SBA staff and asking them to perform a great deal of extra paperwork and analysis. It could be easier, from a workload standpoint, to simply deny our request. • COLDWGLL BANKCR U ALLEGIANCE�/ T. 305 MAIN S REALTY ELK RIVER.MN 55330 RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE BUS.(612)241-0 FAX 241-9234(612) 34 Bill Rubin City of Elk River Economic Development Authority Elk River, Mn. 55330 Dear Bill, • We are formally requesting a transfer of our EDA Real Estate Loan from 305 Main street to 325 Main Street.
