Toppin seconded the motion; Motion passed 6-0 III.B ILLS Commissioner Toppin moved to pay the bills. Keena seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0 IV.B USINESS A.Industrial Park Proposal for Playing field Expansion Parks & Recreation Director Barry Bernstein introduced the Idea of possibly expanding the Veteran’s Athletic Field and “purchasing” existing land from the Industrial Park. Time Line for such and expansion could be three – five years. Commissioner Toppin asked, if the park were expanded are there any plans for additional “auxiliary entrance” ? Not at this time as it was considered with the 2009 reconstruction project, but it was just too expensive. The reduction of this 25 acres would still leave 75 acres for development. Director Bernstein will talk with the Hastings Youth Association about conduction a study and report back in January or February. B. Hudson: A DEED Grant doesn’t look promising at this time, however the CDA Grant does look good. We are waiting for the relocation study by Wilson Associates. That is the remaining large cost item to be estimated. 1 Hastings EDRA: 12/10/09 C. EDRA Capital Fund Plan: The Commission discussed the various priorities previously discussed and concluded that the Priorities remain a.Hudson relocation b.Business Park Fund c.Downtown Block 3 improvement rd d.Vermillion St/ 23 Street intersection redevelopment The Commission asked staff to update the asset list to include all assets.

V.R: EPORTS Marketing: Community Relations Specialist Shannon Rausch updated the Commission, She has been contacting other communities to get their perspective, what were they looking for when they began their marketing efforts?

B. Hudson Manufacturing Dan Wilson completed the Relocation Cost Estimate and Report. Staff will be meeting with Mr. Wilson, and with fiscal consultants from Ehlers, to discuss feasibility on Tuesday, January 12. Staff will present the recent developments and their recommendations to the board for discussion and direction. The relocation costs would be significant, due to the large amount of manufacturing equipment, materials and product to be moved, and the difficulty of making the move. Relocation compensation is required for public acquisitions such as the UBC acquisition. On the revenue side, Dakota County CDA staff has recommended that the EDRA application for $250,000 grant be approved. The Board still has to take action. Direction: consider whether to make an acquisition proposal to Hudson or whether additional information is needed. C. Capital Funding Plan See the enclosed plan, titled EDA Target Priorities, Table 6, and the Sample Budget for 2011. The plan demonstrates ways to budget for large projects, identified as priorities by the EDRA board, over the next five years. They include relocating Hudson, a business park development, business assistance rd finance, and 23 Street redevelopment. The revenue sources include tax levies, grants, draws on fund balances and bonded debt. Debt may be financed in part by tax increment generated by development. This is an “all in” scenario. It demonstrates how priorities might be funded. Future decisions and choices about timing, costs and priority needs will modify the plan. Private sector decisions to participate, or not, in a project make a big difference. At the last meeting the board requested a complete list of assets before taking action on the Capital Plan. The list is the next item on the agenda. Action: consider approving or amending the plan. REPORTS A. EDRA Assets th See enclosed EDRA assets dated January 8. Staff will review and answer questions. B. Transition Update. The City Administrator Osberg’s plan and report on the transition steps being made in anticipation of the retirement of the EDRA Director Grossman will be provided at the meeting. C. Red Rock Station Area Study. Ron Toppin and Lynn Moratzka have been appointed by the Mayor to the Community Advisory Committee. The CAC will meet monthly with the consultants to comment on their work and help them promote future transit for Hastings. The Station Area Study will be officially kicked off with a breakfast meeting for city officials and business leaders at Tinucci’s Restaurant in Newport nd on Friday, January 22, from 8 to 9:30 am.

Cash: $315,000 is transferred to 2010 budget, leaving $694,926. Interest for 2009 has not yet been allocated. A few 2009 bills may still come in, but will be small. 2. Cash: includes $21,108 in committed funds – housing rehab revolving fund. 3. Buildings: two former UBC warehouses, leased to city. They would be removed if the land were needed for transit or development, so their value may not be a real asset. There are no carrying costs. 4. Industrial Land: Total land value includes the 25 acres which may be transferred to recreation use. 5. Land sales: IP land available for land credit development is valued at $1.65 but is usually not sold for cash. If land were sold to private development companies the value would depend on the proposed use and market. 6. Loans: Most of the loans are deferred, to be paid upon sale of the property. Total installment payments are around $10,000 per year. One single pay note with a balance of $173,340 plus $18,200 interest is due in 2010. 2009 Fixed Asset Inventory ASSETFUND/ORIGINAL TAGASSET CLASSDEPTDEPARTMENTASSET DESCRIPTIONCOSTPIDNOTESASSESSORS 2010 MARKET 03941402-500WATER FOUNTAIN/CAST ALUMINUM W/ BLACK IMPROVEMENTSHOUSING & REDEVEL 1,783.88 07500LAND402-500TYLER/RIVERFRONT HOUSING & REDEVEL 28,100.0019-32150-020-02ABDO PA $84,400 07500.1LAND402-500408 SIBLEY HOUSING & REDEVEL 312,780.0019-32150-020-2919-32150-021-29 NEW PID$140,400 07500.2LAND402-500110 4TH STREET HOUSING & REDEVEL 88,220.0019-32150-020-29SOLD 12/21/06 $32,250 DEFERRED 07501LAND402-5001ST & BAILEY HOUSING & REDEVEL 82,400.0019-32150-010-0119-63950-010-00 NEW PID, PLAT$202,300 07502LAND402-5001ST & BAILEY HOUSING & REDEVEL 58,200.0019-32150-030-0119-63950-020-00 NEW PID, PLAT$426,800 07503LAND402-500201 TYLER HOUSING & REDEVEL 39,600.0019-32150-010-16STATION BLOCK$79,200 07504LAND402-500TYLER BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD HOUSING & REDEVEL 79,200.0019-32150-011-16STATION BLOCK$158,400 07505LAND402-5001ST & TYLER HOUSING & REDEVEL 250,000.0019-32150-010-00PART OF LEVEE PARK, FIRST ST. 07506LAND402-500BAILEY/TYLER N OF 2ND ST PKG LOT HOUSING & REDEVEL 9,800.0019-32150-020-0119-63950-020-00 AS ABOVE 07507LAND402-500TYLER N OF 2ND ST PKG LOT HOUSING & REDEVEL 27,700.0019-32150-040-0119-63950-020-00 AS ABOVE 07508LAND402-500TYLER HOUSING & REDEVEL 23,400.0019-32150-041-0119-63950-020-00 AS ABOVE 07509LAND402-500TYLER/2ND ST HOUSING & REDEVEL 3,000.0019-32150-070-0119-63950-030-00 NEW PID, PLAT$243,400 07510LAND402-500TYLER/2ND HOUSING & REDEVEL 103,000.0019-32150-083-0119-63950-030-00 AS ABOVE 07511LAND402-500BAILEY HOUSING & REDEVEL 5,900.0019-32150-085-0119-63950-020-00 AS ABOVE 07512LAND402-500RAMSEY/RIVERFRONT HOUSING & REDEVEL 43,700.0019-32150-020-03BLOCK 3 GRAVEL PARKING$112,500 07513LAND402-5002ND/RAMSEY HOUSING & REDEVEL 37,100.0019-32150-010-14OLIVERS GROVE DEEDED TO CITY 07514LAND402-500222 RAMSEY (3RD/RAMSEY) HOUSING & REDEVEL 16,100.0019-32150-081-14ZEPHYR LOT$39,700 07515LAND402-500213 RAMSEY (ALLEY BETW TYLER/RAMSEY) HOUSING & REDEVEL 18,500.0019-32150-061-15SR.CTR.

The intent is to build awareness and generate a renewed excitement about the Red Rock Corridor to ensure a high level of public participation throughout the project. Prior to the start of the planning and design phase of the project we are proposing a kick-off breakfast event with elected officials and business leaders along the Red Rock Corridor. The event will be one of the first opportunities for members of the Commission to announce plans for Red Rock Corridor in front of a large gathering of public officials in the area. Program The event itself will be short, yet informative. A PowerPoint presentation will be given by staff on the work completed-to-date, the station area planning process and next steps towards implementing commuter rail in the Corridor. This will be followed by a brief presentation by Hastings Mayor Paul Hicks on funding priorities for Red Rock. At the end there will be a question and answer period as it will be important to address any concerns or questions the elected officials may have before they are asked to publically comment.
