BUSINESS A.Hudson Manufacturing - Contingency Items HEDRA has until October 25, 2010 to waive or satisfy contingency items per the Hudson Manufacturing Purchase Agreement. In late September, on-site environmental testing took place as follows: Installation of test pits to determine the existence of buried waste and debris. Installation of groundwater monitoring wells. Installation of vapor probes to identify subsurface vapors Installation of hand auger borings inside the existing building to determine evidence of waste or contamination beneath the building Results have been sent to the lab for analysis. Eric Hesse from Liesch Environmental will attend the meeting to provide a report on environmental testing results. ACTION –Reviewenvironmental testing result.HEDRA actions include: 1)Determine environmental testing results are satisfactory and proceed with closing on the property. 2)Elect to terminate the Purchase Agreement and cease action towards property acquisition. Please see the attached Phase II Environmental Preliminary Work Plan for further information. B.Hudson Manufacturing – ALTA Survey and Title Objections Alta Survey - The ALTA Survey has been completed and is being reviewed by City Staff and the City Attorney. The survey has identified certain survey gaps and encroachments, and easement questions. There is also some uncertainty as to the extent of Hudson’s ownership between the building and the Mississippi River. The 1855 plat is unclear as to the extent of Hudson’s northern property line. We have suggested that Hudson provide a quit claim deed for land located between itsbuilding the Mississippi River to alleviate this concern. Title Documents - The City Attorney has reviewed the title documents. All of the title objections: (i) will either be waived upon receipt of documents at closing that will allow exceptions to coverage to be removed by the title company, or (ii) are related to survey matters to be further reviewed. The City Attorney does not have any pure title objections (non-survey related) that he believeswill not be waived prior to closing. We will continue to work We will also draft a with Hudson to resolve these issues prior to closing. resolution for HEDRA consideration documenting any outstanding objections, and authorizing signature of any closing documents. The resolution will be presented at the meeting. ACTION –Adoptresolution to be presented at the meeting. Please see attached ALTA Survey and Review of Title Objections for further information. C.Marketing RFQ Update th Following the September 16HEDRA meeting Community Relations Specialist, Shannon Rausch resent the Marketing RFQ to Local Pigeon as well as forwarding a copy to Himle Horner who is part of the consulting team that MN/DOT has brought on board to work on the Communication/Public Relation portion of the bridge project. Since then, Shannon has meet with Local Pigeon to determine if they would be able to meet all of the criteria HEDRA had outlined in their RFQ. Specifically how would Local Pigeon propose to help HEDRA identify Hastings target audience and plan to reach them? If HEDRA were to work with Local Pigeon what kind of marketing means would they propose using, and included in that, what key messages would they use? As well as how would they measure for success? And most importantly, would they be able to provide HEDRA with a marketing plan in the end that would prioritize the marketing activities for the Commission to work on and identify the specific means of implementation of this plan. After meeting with Local Pigeon, it is apparent that Local Pigeon would not provide the traditional marketing plan as the Commission requested. Local Pigeon’s marketing ideas for HEDRA is entirely focused around a social media, online campaign. They are proposing that HEDRA hire Local Pigeon to develop a website which would promote Hastings. This site would include everything from blogs posted by local businesses, to local deals that would be available only through the website and could be daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. The site could even include various contests to draw visitor. Local Pigeon’s intent with this site is to get as many businesses and local providers to get onboard with this site. Use it as a source of advertizing for their business and in turn promote Hastings as a whole. One option that Local Pigeon was open to would be to work on an agreement where HEDRA would utilize their services for less than the initial $10,000 since the Commission would not be getting everything it had specifically asked for, but could make this one part of HEDRA’s overall marketing effort. During this time, Community Relations Specialist has also met with Colin Cox from Himle Horner to see if they would be interested in collaborating with HEDRA on their marketing efforts. In the conversations that we have had, there seems to be plenty of areas of overlap in the efforts that they will be handling with MN/DOT’s Bridge Project and with what HEDRA has proposed in the RFQ that could be tie into. As well as opportunities where HEDRA could take Himle Horner’s efforts one step further to specifically target a distinct marketing sect to encourage them to visit Hastings, shop Hastings, and even relocate their business to Hastings. Shannon is waiting for final confirmation from Himle Horner stating what or how specifically they can see us working together. More information will be provided at the meeting regarding this option.

Hudson Manufacturing Bond Sale HEDRA has received two responses to our bond sale proposal. It appears our annual debt service on the 20 year general obligation bonds will be less than originally anticipated. We had planned on a $260,000 annual debt payment; the lowest response submitted had an annual average debt service payment of $230,000. HEDRA is scheduled to take final action on the bond sale at its th November 9meeting. B.TH 61 Bridge Update nd The September 22 groundbreaking and open house attracted 250 people. Attendees were given the opportunity to review bridge lighting and colors, as well as the mural located on the 2nd Street south abutment. The Visual Quality Team th met on October 13 to discuss bridge lighting and color selection. Those attending the open house preferred a blue color. The VQT discussed whether a bold color or lighter color was preferable. The bridge design staff will present updated color rendering at the next VQT meeting and have discussed having the community vote on three final colors. C. Park and Ride Lot Update City staff met with Metropolitan Council to discuss the grant agreement for use of the $600,000 allocation from the Red Rock Corridor. Metropolitan Council was designated as the fund disburser. The language of the original allocation requires Met Council to be owner of the property. City Staff voiced its concern over conveying the property. I am still awaitingthe actual grant agreement.

Rausch, HEDRA Secretary HASTINGS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CITY OF HASTINGS DAKOTA AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 8-2010 RESOLUTION ELECTING NOT TO TERMINATE THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING SIGNATURE OF DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE THE H. D. HUDSON MANUFACTURING COMPANY PROPERTY AND ACCOMPLISH RELOCATION OF THE HUDSON SPRAYER CORPORATION WITHIN THE CITY OF HASTINGS WHEREAS, it has been proposed by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the Hastings Economic Development and Redevelopment Authority (the "HEDRA") and the City of Hastings (the "City") that the HEDRA consider acquiring the H. D. Hudson Manufacturing Company property at 200 nd 2 Street W (the “Property”) and facilitating the relocation of the Hudson Sprayer Corporation (the th “Company”) to the former Intek facility located at 800 10 Street E; and WHEREAS, on July 30, 2010 the HEDRA and H.D. Hudson Manufacturing Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the Property; and WHERAS, Section 11 of the Purchase Agreement outlines certain investigations to be conducted by the HEDRA (the “Buyer”) to determine that the property is suitable for Buyer’s intended use.

Fluegel [dan@fluegel.com] Sent:Thursday, October 14, 2010 11:08 AM Peterson, Mark B. To: Cc:John Hinzman; Dave Osberg Subject:Hudson Survey HASTINGS HUDSON 2010 PRELIM.pdf; Town of Hastings.pdf Attachments: Mark, I am attaching the pre-final survey. The surveyor will be adding some additional information and graphics and told us that should be finalized and sent to all parties including CPT today or tomorrow. I would like to discuss a few survey related matters with you after you have had an opportunity to review this document. I am waiting for additional confirmation from City staff and may need authorization from HEDRA to waive some of the objections, but the following are items I believe will either need to be discussed further and resolved or which may remain as objections: 1. Exception #18-Dakota County Temporary Easement. This appears on Dakota County Right of Way Map #184 but there is no termination date for the temporary easement. The plat was recorded in 1996 so I am fairly certain the temporary easement has expired and Dakota County would provide documentation confirming that. We will ask that a recordable release be obtained from the County. I propose either you or I contact Mike Ring in the Dakota County Attorney's Office who should be able to assist with this. 2. Deleted Exception #22-The survey notes two very small gaps exist between legal descriptions in the vesting deeds. I discussed this at length with the surveyor. I also acknowledge CPT has deleted the exception. I nonetheless need to ensure this issue will not be a problem when the property is sold to a developer in the future. I propose that there be a discussion between you, me, the surveyor and the appropriate representative from CPT (perhaps Dave Hillert) so that the surveyor can describe the basis of his opinion that a gap exists and CPT can describe its basis in deleting the exception. I expect the outcome of that conversation will either be that the surveyor determines no gap exists or CPT determines it should restore the exception. If the former, we would waive the objection and if the latter, there would need to be a simple action to determine adverse claims to determine ownership of the gap areas. That action is something I expect would not delay closing but funds would need to be escrowed. 3. Exception #13-Spur Track easement. I need to discuss with CPT their basis for deleting the exception. They may have information that I do not have. The easement does cross a portion of Lot 5, Block 6 and could potentially interfere with the use of that lot. I need more information on this before making any decision. Also as noted in the survey, it appears there may be uncertainty whether the legal description used in the purchase agreement and which refers to the platted lots extends to the shoreline of the Mississippi River. It is the surveyor's opinion that is does not but the 1855 plat is less than clear in this area. I am attaching a copy of the plat for convenience. It had been HEDRA's and our understanding that the property being acquired does in fact extend to the river. I do not know what Hudson's understanding was regarding this area. Hudson has conveyed easement interests to different parties within this area so I assume they believed they owned to the river. I have had preliminary discussions about this issue with staff and may request that Hudson deliver a separate quit claim deed conveying any and all interest it may own in this property. If that would be agreeable, we would need to create a legal description. I would inquire if CPT would be able to provide title coverage for this area but that may be problematic with the ambiguity created by the plat. I ask that you comment on this possibility. I again do not intend to waive any of the existing objections by this writing but instead intend to initiate discussion on these items. Please give me a call once you have had a chance to review this information. Daniel J.
