REPORTS AND INFORMATION
INDUSTRIAL PARK STREET RECONSTRUCTION AND SIGN REPLACMENT
Construction continues on schedule for the public improvements. Staff has sent the
proposed sign drawings to all Industrial Park businesses for comment and review. We've
received back :wound half a dozen comments; the favored choice is for signage with our
City font. It was suggested that the sign contain the words "Hastings Business Park" and
that the spiral bridge image be replaced with "Spiral Boulev:u'd" for better orientation.
COMPANY UPDATE
Sebesta Blomberg has completed a draft report evaluating moving Hudson Sprayers to
the vacant Intek building on lOr~' Sheet. The project appears feasible including
construction of a 29,000 s.f. addition onto the Intek building. Staff will review the report
and present updated information at the meeting.
BRIDGE REPLACMENT UPDATE
The City is reviewing the Municipal Consent Agreement and assisting with the
development of the Visual Qualify Manual. VJe do not believe MnDot has extended a
formal offer for the partial taking of Hudson vet. Mn Dot is prep:u ing to release the RFP
to selected design build contractors in November.
RIVERBEND PET HOSPITAL AND TCCCF
Staff has explored the use of TCCCF funding to close the $50,000 gap in funding the
Riverbend Pet Hospital project. The loan would be subordinate to SBA and piimaty
bank; the amount of equity :utd collateral available would not meet the terms for TCCCF
funding. It appears the terms for SBA loans are more competitive than TCCCF. Staff
will be reviewing the benefits of remaining within the TCCCF program or to `cash out'
and give assistance in other ways.
