SUMMARY: A public hearing is required to amend the City's Business Subsidy Criteria. The business subsidy act (1999) requires cities to establish criteria for most forms of public assistance. Hastings adopted its criteria in December, 1999. The attached copy of the City's existing policy shows recommended amendments marked in section 4.03, requiring that new jobs pay a minimum wage to meet the criteria, and section 4.07, requiring that recipients pay ALL city costs related to making the subsidy. BACKGROUND: MINIMUM WAGE FOR NEW lOBS Recent legislation required cities to adopt a minimum wage for new jobs when job creation is the primary public purpose of the business subsidy. Staff proposes two tiers of minimum wage: 1) $10.00 an hour for manufacturing, trades and professional services; 2) $7.00 an hour for retail, restaurant, hospitality and similar customer services. The wage number is before deductions, not including employer-paid benefits. The Industrial Park Board has used $10.00 an hour as its benchmark for recommending land credits (business subsidies) to City Council since 1999. The range of wages agreed to by businesses receiving land credits has been $10.00 to $14.00 an hour. Outside the Industrial Park, redevelopment is likely to include businesses where the entry level wages are between $7.00 and $10.00. Members of the Chamber of Commerce economic development committee thought that $7.00 would be an appropriate entry level figure. RECIPIENT PAYS CITY COSTS Since beginning the land credit program, the City has required a $1,000 deposit to cover its legal costs related to negotiating and writing documents related to subsidized land sales. This practice was not spelled out as a City policy in the criteria. In addition, the City has been paying typical seller's closing costs such as deed tax and abstract fees. Staff proposes that the criteria specify that all costs incurred by the city to provide the subsidy be paid by the recipient. The deposit should be increased to $2,000 and any costs in excess of the deposit would be paid at closing. Any amount not spent would be refunded. RECOMMENDATZON: Order a Public Hearing to consider the proposed changes to the Business Subsidy Policy for the Council Meeting of March 3, 2003. CITY OF HASTINGS Amended Business Subsidy Criteria Originally adopted after a public hearing by the City Council on the 20~ day of December, 1999. Amended after a public hearing by the City Council on the I PURPOSE 1.01 The purpose of this criteria is to establish the policy of the City of Hastings (City) as it relates to the use of business subsidies, as defined in Minnesota Statutes 116J.993, Subdivision 3, (Business Subsidy Law) for private development. This criteria shall be used as a guide in processing and reviewing applications requesting business subsidies. 1.02 The City shall have the option of amending, or waiving sections of this criteria when determined necessary or appropriate. Amendments to these criteria are subject to public hearing requirements pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 through 116J.995. Waivers of criteria are not subject to a public hearing. 1.03 Existing City programs that provide business subsidies are hereby revised to reflect the following Business Subsidy Criteria as deemed necessary and appropriate. 2. STATUTORY LIMITATIONS 2.01 In accordance with the Business Subsidy Criteria, Business Subsidy requests must comply with applicable State Statutes. The ability of the City to grant business subsidies is governed by the limitations established in Minnesota Statutes 116J.993 through 116J.995, and as the law may be amended. 2.02. The definition of a subsidy and exceptions to the law are defined in MS116J.993 - 116J.995 and as the law may be amended. Terms used in this criteria policy statement are intended to have the same meanings as used in the law, and these criteria shall apply only with respect to subsidies granted under the law if and to the extent required thereby. 3. PUBLIC PURPOSE REQUIREMENT 3.01 All business subsidies must meet a public purpose, including' but not limited to the following: 1) Increase the tax base. This is not a sufficient public purpose by itself; a subsidized project must have an additional public purpose; 2) Provide for job retention, provided that loss is specific and demonstrable; 3) Create high quality jobs. In general, subsidized projects are expected to add new jobs at competitive wages; 4) Enhance economic diversity. This relates to adjusting to change in the economy by 3.02. 4.01 4.02 4.03 4.04 4.05 replacing declining types of businesses and facilitating development of new types of businesses; 5) Encourage investment in geographic areas which need redevelopment; 6) Facilitate the re-use of historic properties and sound, attractive buildings; 7) Facilitate the cleanup of environmental problems; 8) Facilitate the elimination of substandard buildings or blight; 9) Facilitate the relocation of uses which are non-conforming with the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, Shorelands and Critical Areas ordinances, or contribute to unsafe conditions in their present location. Not all projects assisted with subsidies must derive their public purpose and importance solely by virtue of job creation~ Worthwhile projects which do not involve job creation may be approved for a subsidy, if permitted by applicable law, with consideration given to the compensating weight of other public purposes. BUSINESS SUBSIDY CRITERIA All new projects approved by the City of Hastings should meet the following minimum criteria. However, it should not be presumed that a project meeting these criteria will automatically be approved. Meeting these criteria creates no contractual rights on the part of any potential developer. Tenants, if any, are not responsible to the City for meeting the goals and conditions of the subsidy unless they are a party to the agreements. The City reserves the right to waive any provision of these criteria. The project must meet the goals, criteria, guidelines and applicable state legislative restrictions of the specific program for which the applicant is being considered. When creation of jobs is the sole or primary public purpose of the project, the recipient should create the highest realistic number of jobs on the site at competitive wages. The City will establish wages and jobs goals for each project, taking into consideration the regional prevailing wage rates, wages paid for the types of jobs by competitors, regional and local economic and employment conditions, external economic forces beyond local control and the individual financial resources of the recipient. At a minimmn, however, gross wages for jobs retained or created Will not be less than $10.00 per hour, for manufacturing, trades and professional services, or $7.00 an hour for retail, restaurant, hospitality_ and similar customer services, not including benefits. A recipient of a business subsidy must make a commitment to continue operations in the City for at least five years after the benefit date unless an exception is approved by the City. The recipient must retain ownership of the project at least long enough to complete it, to stabilize its occupancy, to establish the project management, and to guarantee repayment of the business subsidy as required by law. The project must conform to Hastings Comprehensive Plan, Land Use, Subdivision and other applicable ordinances; approval of required amendments, variances or special use permits must be under consideration by the City at the time of project approval. 4.06 4.07. 4.08. Business subsidies will not normally be provided to projects that have the financial feasibility to proceed without the benefit of the subsidy unless the public purpose of the project and the subsidy is clear and compensating. Prior to approval of a business subsidy request, the City may undertake an independent underwriting of the project to help ensure that the request for assistance is valid. The developer shall provided market and financial feasibility studies, appraisals, site and building plans, regulatory reports, business records and information provided to private lenders for the project, and other information required by the City. The level of subsidy should be reduced to the lowest possible level and least amount of time by first maximizing the use of private debt and equity financing, other funding sources and income producing vehicles that can be structured into the project. All City costs related to providing a business subsidy, including but not limited to legal, title. survey, recording and closing costs, will be paid by the recipient of the subsidy Each project shall be evaluated against the following community benefit criteria and the risk and reward of the project to the community considered before approval. The developer shall provide any information or data that the City or its financial consultants may require in order to proceed with evaluation. 1) All business subsidy requests should optimize the development potential of a site. The amount of land provided as a subsidy will be appropriate for the size of the proposed building and reasonable needs of the business. 2) Business subsidies should normally not be used for projects which reduce the property taxes, over the long term, for the site below the amount paid before the project. Consideration will be given to redevelopment, rehabilitation and historic preservation projects which may not increase property taxes. 3) Business subsidies should normally not be used to support speculative industrial, commercial, and office projects. In general, speculative projects are defined as those projects which do not have letters of intent or pre-leasing agreements for an acceptable amount of the available leasable space. 4) Business subsidies will not be used when the developer's credemials, in the sole judgment of the City, are inadequate due to past track record relating to: completion of projects, general reputation and/or bankruptcy, or other problems or issues considered relevant by the City. 5) Business subsidies will not be used to support projects that place unusual or excessive demands on City services, capital or operating expenditures such as reducing the capacity of existing services or exceed the average city expenditures in comparison to similar facilities. Consideration will be given to the total public costs that are required to support the project, including offsite facilities costs and inl~astmcture requirements. 6) Business subsidies will not be used for projects that would generate significant environmental problems in the opinion of the local, state, or federal governments. 7) Business subsidies will not be used for projects involving heritage preservation sites without the approval of the Heritage Preservation Commission. 8) Business subsidies should normally not be used for projects which are likely to create a situation in other areas of the community which would require additional public assistance, unless the resources are made available for the remedy. 5. SUBSIDY AGREEMENT 5.01A recipient must enter into a business subsidy agreement with the City which will include, but will not be limited to the following: 1) Description of the subsidy 2) Statement of the public purpose 3) Statement of the reason why the subsidy is needed 4) Goals for subsidy including the number of jobs created or retained and the wages paid 5) Description of the financial obligation of the recipient if the goals are not met and conditions under which the subsidy must be repaid in all or part 6) Commitment to continue operations at the site where the subsidy is used for a minimum of five years after the benefit date, as defined in the statute 7) Provisions securing repayment of the subsidy in the event of default or failure to meet goals. 8) Reporting requirements to the City and/or State as detailed in MS116J. 994, Subd. 7. 6.

Completion of Business Subsidy, Tax Increment or program application form. This form shall be submitted to the City maffor a designated independent feasibility consultant. o The request shall be reviewed by city staffon a preliminary basis as to the feasibility of the project.

If the Council's concept review is positive, the staffwill prepare a development or redevelopment contract, business subsidy agreement based upon the terms approved, a financial analysis or tax increment financing plan if required, and other documents required to complete the transactions. The applicant will provide a deposit (cash or letter of credit) in an amount estimated to defxay City costs involved with steps which need to be taken before a redevelopment contract is signed. 6. If Planning Commission action is required, it will be necessary for the applicant, at this time, to make formal application to the commission. o Following the necessary financial analysis, preparation of detailed plans, completion of the development/redevelopment contract and business subsidy agreement, the City Council shall hold a public hearing if necessary and take action on the project. o Ifa site plan or zoning action is required, the Planning Commission and City Council shall take the appropriate action at the same time that the development or redevelopment and subsidy agreements are considered for final approval.

Estimated revenues for 2003 based on a five year average usage are expected to show a small surplus after deducting estimated 2003 expenses. The 2003 expenses include a five year average ofwatermain replacement costs. Both water usage and watermain replacements are calculated on five year averages to level out fluctuations in usage due to variable weather, and fluctuations in watermain replacements based on street reconstruction needs. WASTEWATER RATES - CURRENT RATE: RECOMMENDED $2.25/1,000 GALLONS $2.3511,000 GALLONS Wastewater rates are recommended to increase to $2.35/1,000 gallons. The wastewater fund for 2002 showed a net loss of $600,000 due entirely to sanitary sewer replacement expenses. Even when a 5 year average of sanitary sewer replacement costs is used, the 2002 wastewater fund still shows a $250,000 loss. There will be no sanitary sewer replacements in 2003; however the proposed Westwood improvements that were delayed until 2004 will include substantial sewer replacements. Staff is recommending a combination of phasing in sewer rate increases over a multi year period and drawing down the wastewater fund balance to fund continued sanitary sewer replacements. The recommended $0.10/1,000 gallon rate increase will generate an additional $50,000 per year. WAC, SAC, & INTERCEPTOR SEWER CHARGES Charges Current Rate WAC $1,175 $1,205 SAC $625 $640 Interceptor Sewer $315 $325 Recommended Rate Council adopted a resolution in 1993 that updated utility connection fees and indexed these fees to the American City and County magazine construction cost index. This index increased 2.4% last year. Accordingly, staff is recommending increasing the connection fees as shown above. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council is requested to adopt the enclosed resolution that would: · increase the wastewater rate to $2.35/1,000 gallons · increase WAC charge to $1,205 · increase SAC charge to $640 · increase Interceptor Sewer charge to $325 If adopted, the WAC, City SAC, and Interceptor Sewer Charge increases would go into effect immediately for all new permit applications and final plat approvals. The water rate increase would be implement with the March billing.

Werner, Mayor ,~ Melanie Mesko Lee, City Clerk (SEAL) VIII-A-2 ,.M::E Mi-O To.' *From: Date: Re: Honorable Mayor and City Council Tom Montgomery February 12, 2003 Exercise Purchase Option - City Hall Vehicle Lease Thc lease for the City Hall vehicle, 2000 Jeep Cherokee, expired at the end of January. The 2003 budget included funds fi.om the Engineering Department equipment revolving fund to purchase the vehicle at the end of its lease. The purchase price plus sales tax and title transfer is $14,930. The vehicle has very low mileage as it is used primarily within the City limits. The City Engineer and Assistant City Engineer use the vehicle extensively during street and utility construction periods, and the rest of City Hall uses the vehicle sporadically throughout the year. In light of budget uncertainties and the freeze on unnecessary purchases, Council is requested to consider the following three options with respect to the City Hall vehicle: 1. Purchase the vehicle - Proceed as planned in the 2003 budget and exercise the lease end buyout option at a cost of $14,930. Retum Vehicle & Lease Replacement - Return the Jeep now, and enter into a lease for a replacement vehicle for use by the City Engineer and Assistant City Engineer once construction begins in May. o Return Vehicle & Reimburse Mileage for Use of Personal Vehicles - Return the Jeep now and require the City Engineer and Assistant City Engineer to use their personal vehicles at construction sites, reimbursing them for mileage. Staff Recommendation Option 2 provides for an immediate cost savings of about $10,000, assuming approximately $5,000 in costs for a new lease down payment and 8 months of lease payments. While option 3 would likely incur the most cost savings at approximately $13,000, I do not believe it is appropriate to require staff to use their own vehicles on construction sites. I am recommending returning the vehicle and leasing a replacement this May.

VIII-C-1 From: Date: Re: Mayor Werner and City Councilmembers Melanie Mesko Lee, Administrative Assistant/City Clerk February 10, 2003 Resolution--Increasing Number of Liquor Licenses Council Action Requested: Approve the attached resolution, requesting legislation to increase by three the number of full, on-sale liquor licenses the City of Hastings may issue. Background Information: The City of Hastings is limited to the number of full, on-sale liquor licenses it can issue. Currently, we do not have any open full, on-sale licenses available for new businesses to acquire. Once the last on-sale license was issued in January 2003, staff was directed to investigate the processes by which more licenses could be acquired. There are two ways in which municipalities can increase the number of statutorily-limited on-sale licenses: by holding a special election or by petitioning the state legislature for an increase. The legislative process of requesting an increase in liquor licenses is less costly than a special election. The attached resolution indicates the City's desire to increase the number of full, on-sale liquor licenses due to the recent and continual growth within the City as well as the ability to use it as a recruitment tool for prospective businesses. Based on recent inquiries, the resolution requests the legislature to increase the number of full, on-sale liquor licenses by three. Should the Council approve the resolution to request a legislative increase in the number of full, on-sale liquor licenses, the information will then be forwarded on to the City's legislators, Senator Sharon Marko and Representative' Dennis McNamara for their assistance. If you have any questions about this proposal, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
