City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender and City Council
From: Alex Menke, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: December 16, 2024
Item: Approve Resolution to rescind Waiver Agreements
Council Action Requested:
Approve the attached Resolution to rescind Waiver Agreements that were previously approved
by Council. A simple majority is necessary for action.
Background
Awful Gato Coffee, occupying the space at 214 2nd St E, applied for the Metropolitan Council
and City of Hastings SAC/WAC Deferral Programs to convert 80% of their required SAC/WAC
fees into a 10-year, low-interest loan. To collect payments, it was originally decided that the City
would assess the property the amount and collect payments twice a year through the property
taxes. These assessment waivers were approved by Council on October 7th and agreed to by the
property owner, Marathon Properties of Hastings LLC. After further discussion, it was found that
the method of collecting the payments would not be as efficient as previously thought. Staff has
identified an easier method of collection that does not require assessing the property.
Additionally, the original Assessment Waivers have not yet been recorded against the Property,
allowing them to be rescinded and made null and void. Once rescinded, Staff will work with the
business owner and property owner to set up the proper payment schedule.
