Hastings, Minnesota December 3, 1984 215 The City Council of the City of Hastings, Minnesota met in a regular meeting on Monday, December 3, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall. Members Present: Councilmen Karnick, Nesbitt, Klimek, Pike, Plan, Kulzer, Trautmann, Werner, and Mayor Stoffel. Members Absent: None, The Mayor called for additions or corrections to the minutes of the meeting of November 19, 1984 and hearing none declared the minutes approved as presented. A group of students from the University of Minnestoa archictectural class under the direction of John Cunningham were present and made three proposals to the City Council with regard to the development of the City of Hastings. The City Council directed John Grossman, Main Street Project Manager, to be the contact person between the architectural class and any interested citizens that have input with regard to these proposals, as well as supplying information to the City Council. The Mayor declared the public hearing open at 8:01 p.m. for the purpose of considering the City of Hastings application for a $250,000 Federal State Economic Recovery Fund application for the Master, Incorporated company to locate their business in the Hastings Industrial Park. The affidavit of publication was read into record. The hearing had been properly called. All persons wishing to speak on the issue were given the opportunity to do so. Mr. Michael Laub of Master, Incorporated described the project. He stated that they anticipate employing four hundred people in the first year, and that they are going to be needing approximately ten acres for the construction of a 100,000 square foot build- ing and future expansion. They are anticipating bringing about 40,000 square feet of the manufacturing plant from St. Paul to the Hastings site. Of the 100,000 square foot newly con- structed building, they are anticipating approximately 90,000 square feet to be manufacturing. Dick Bond questioned the company with regard to putting the building up for bids or considering hiring a local contractor to do the construction, since City money is being used to assist the construction. Tom Berg questioned Mr. Laub on the salary that they will be paying their employees as well as the number of employees they anticipate hiring. Lyle Northrup spoke on comparison of wages of other employees within the Hastings area. He queried the rationale of not forming an Industrial Park Tax Increment District, his rationale being that if the land was left vacant what would the tax benefit be to the City? He expressed his views explaining the benefits to the City as it relates. to the turn-around of dollars in hiring of employees. These individuals purchase goods and products and the dollars turn around many times. He strongly urged the City use the funding resources available to them to encourage development in the Industrial Park. Tom Berg questioned the reasoning behind starting a Tax Increment Financing District in the Industrial Park and he questioned that people who are hired here may not necessarily live in the community. Mr. Murray Laub stated that a precedent had been set by his company with regard to the business. The business was here and established when the Laubs took over. They feel that the City could assist in their relocation construction plans because of Master's initial incentive to stay within Hastings, expand the business, and hire approx- imately a hundred new employees. Mayor Stoffel stated that she had spoken to Mr. Schiller of the Hastings Job Service, and he had stated that approximately 60 percent of the people that come in to the job service for employment are unskilled or untrained persons. These would be individuals that Master would be looking for in their hiring. No one else wished to speak on the issue. The Mayor closed the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. APPROVAL OF MINUTES PRESENTATION - UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JOHN CUNNINGHAM PUBLIC HEARING - $250,000 FEDERAL STATE ECONOMIC RECOVERY FUND APPLICATION 216 December 3, 1984 RESOLUTION 100-84 APPLICATION TO D.E.E.D. $250,000 - MASTER, INC.
