Review, Discuss, and Direct Staff on Continuing Membership in Greater MSP Community Development Director Nordquist gave a brief presentation. Commissioner Bergman stated that he believes continuing our membership with Greater MSP is a smart move given the amount of land left to be developed in Apple Valley. Economic Development Authority City of Apple Valley Dakota County, Minnesota January 27, 2022 Page 2 Commissioner Goodwin agreed with Commissioner Bergman and stated that it was a reasonable amount of money and could be looked into in the future if deemed necessary. Commissioner Grendahl stated she does not see the benefit of Greater MSP or the connection for Fiscal Disparities. Community Development Director Nordquist stated that the point of the connection is that Greater MSP works an entire region and therefore there will commercial development in the entire region and we will need to compete with that but it would still benefit Apple Valley because of Fiscal Disparities. Commissioner Johnson asked if only members of Greater MSP receive the instant alerts. Community Development Director Nordquist stated that DEED also receives them but does not distribute them. The CDA also receives them as a member of Greater MSP and distributes them to the 10 cities. Commissioner Hooppaw stated that the cost of membership seemed to line up with the benefit received. The City’s membership can be considered on a yearly basis depending on costs of membership. Commissioner Grendahl noted that most of the cities are from Scott County and wondered if Greater MSP focuses more on those cities since they also have more growth out there. President Melander stated that if Dakota County is being represented already, then Apple Valley is also getting representation that way. He did not believe that any national companies interested in Apple Valley would be dissuaded by not being a member. Commissioner Goodwin agreed with Commissioner Hooppaw that the cost is relatively low compared to the City’s overall budget. Commissioner Bergman also agreed with the cost being low and considering membership on a yearly basis as opposed to every two years. MOTION: of Hooppaw, seconded by Goodwin, to continue the City’s membership with Greater MSP. Ayes – 4 – Nays – 2. C. Discuss Apple Ford/Lincoln Proposal to Vacate 151st St. Community Development Director Nordquist provided a brief presentation. City Attorney Dougherty stated that the reason the EDA owns the outlot is because the City wanted the option to be able to reopen 151st St. in the event that the current development went away. Commissioner Hooppaw advised that he had no issue with the current arrangement. Economic Development Authority City of Apple Valley Dakota County, Minnesota January 27, 2022 Page 3 Commissioner Goodwin stated that businesses change and it would be best if the EDA retained ownership of outlot A. Commissioner Bergman agreed with continuing the current arrangement and retaining outlot A. STAFF UPDATES City Administrator Tom Lawell noted that there are four application received by the City Council to fill the vacancy on the EDA and that a selection will likely be made within the next month. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: by Hooppaw, seconded by Bergman, to adjourn at 6:54 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Breanna Vincent, Department Assistant Approved by the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority on May 26, 2022 Thomas O.

E D A ME E T I NG D AT E :May 26, 2022 S E C T I O N:Regular A genda Description: A uthorize E D A Funding in Partnership with Time S quare and T hree A djacent B usinesses to A ddress S torm Water Concerns S taff Contact: B ruce Nordquist, Community Development Director Department / Division: Community Development Department AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D: Authorize ED A Funding in Partnership with Time Square and T hree Adjacent Businesses to Address Storm Water C oncerns S UM M ARY: At the regularly scheduled Economic Development Authority (ED A) meeting of May 26, staff will review finance options for addressing storm water ponding in an access driveway near Granada Avenue with no outlet to an adjacent storm sewer line. Adjacent businesses will need to contribute financially and provide drainage, utility and access easements toward a resulting public or private project. In years past, the C ity and ED A has partnered with business to address roadway and utility improvements related to the private portions of Granada Avenue and locations nearby. T he City Engineer has recommended a role for the City in the design and installation of a storm sewer line extension which is part of the $100,000 estimated cost. Staff will propose an alternative financial role for the ED A given that a 2021 request for a redevelopment grant from the Dakota C ounty C D A for about a third of the cost was not approved. B AC K G RO UND: Previously, storm water was routed into the sanitary sewer, a practice that cannot continue and the sanitary system was sealed years ago. A permanent solution to connect this site to the municipal storm system is required. An aerial location and the diagram showing the percentage each surrounding lot contributes to storm water within the drainage area is attached. T he City Engineer will oversee the project to ensure the alignment and connection to the City storm sewer in Granada Avenue is completed. Apple Valley is the facilitator and now proposed to be a funding partner with the primary land owner of Time Square, and the adjacent property owners that each contribute to the storm water issues on site. T he proposed approach offers a collaborative solution that is shared by multiple affected adjacent property owners. T he C ity A ttorney and C ity Engineer have both been consulted to arrive at the following scope of work summary. T he City and property owners in this area have partnered on road repair and storm water projects in the past. Staff is in contact with each property owner to confirm the following: 1. T he C ity Engineer would arrange the design, construction, scope of work and supervision as either a private installation or public project. 2. A public project could include an assessment of the cost. A private project would require a financial deposit of funds to be held in trust by the City to project completion and disbursement and required in advance for project approval by the City. 3. Each property owner north of Time Square is asked to contribute $11,000 to a shared storm water solution since none presently exists; a total amount of $33,000. 4. Each property owner north of Time Square is asked to execute an assessment waiver given the possibility of a public project. 5. Additionally, the owners are asked to provide a drainage, utility, and access easement in recordable form to address lot areas within 5 feet of the respective property lines and within the needed project area. Locations where buildings exist at the property line would not include the building area in the required easement. 6. Time Square is contributing $35,000 and a drainage, utility, and access easement within the Time Square construction limits of the property and within the service alley north of the shopping center. 7. An amount of $33,000 in funding was sought by the City in 2021 from the Dakota County C D A. T he request was not supported given the quasi-public/private elements were not an eligible use of funds. B UD G E T I M PAC T: T he Apple Valley ED A is asked to consider the use of existing Tax Increment fund balances in the amount of $33,000 toward the project as the C ity's share. According the Finance Director Ron Hedberg there are available funds in decertified Tax Increment District #7, which when the district was active included these same parcels. Storm water improvements are an eligible use of Tax Increments. T he requested funding matches contributions by the affected parties without being onerous to small business. A best case if the ED A supports the proposal, would be to express a willingness to contribute to fix the shared storm water concern. T he C ity Attorney and C ity Engineer would then begin preparing a final scope of work, plan, and agreements to manage funds flow whether as a public or private installation. At the City C ouncil meeting of J une 16, the City Council would be able to act in advance of the possible property sale at the end of J une. T he total project cost contributes to the time and oversight of the C ity Attorney and Engineer.
