River, Minnesota, as follows: after due consideration, , hereby adopts the following findings
of fact related to the project proposed by Hemmer Companies, LLC and its application for
an award and/or rebate from the Job Creation Fund Program and express their approval.
1. The Developer has represented that with assistance it will locate the Project in the
City and cause the creation of approximately 5 new jobs in the City. The City finds that the
Project is in the public interest because it will encourage the growth of commerce and
industry, prevent the. movement of current or future operations to locations outside
Minnesota, result in increased employment in Minnesota, and preserve or enhance the state
and local tax base
2. Based on the Developer's request for JCF funding and other assistance from the City
and Sherburne County and the City's understanding that the Project would not be located
within in the City if such funding assistance is not granted, the City finds that the Project
would not reasonably expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future.
3. Because the Project is located in an area of the City guided for industrial uses, the
City finds the proposed project conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the City as a whole.

and apply for JCF funds.
