  APPROVAL OF  MINUTES  Item 3  Motion was made by Commissioner Elder, seconded by Commissioner  Hoffe, to approve the minutes of May 9, 2016. Voted in favor: Hemken,  Elder, Hoffe, London; voted against: None; Absent: None; Abstained:  Lammle. Motion carried.    IMP. PROJECT 971  Item 4  President Hemken introduced for discussion EDA Item 4, Resolution  authorizing the execution of a first amendment to contract for private  redevelopment with Industrial Equities, New Hope, LLC (improvement  project no. 971).    Mr. Aaron Chirpich, community development specialist, stated in early  2015, Industrial Equities purchased the vacant and distressed industrial  building located at 9449 Science Center Drive with the intent of  redeveloping the site. He stated the city provided $250,000 in TIF  assistance to pay for demolition, abatement and soil corrections on the  site. He stated demolition of the building and clearing of all other site  improvements began in late February of 2016. Following the demolition  of the primary building, the excavating contractor discovered  unexpected poor soils beneath the building and around the perimeter of  the foundation. Engineers who have examined the site speculate the  EDA Meeting  Page 2 May 23, 2016 building was built in a natural depression in order to limit the amount of  excavation needed to accommodate the original basement. The footings  of the former building extended well below the basement slab. The  deeper than usual footings were built in an effort to compensate for the  poor soil conditions that were not remediated at the time of construction  in 1960. Because the poor soils were found beneath the building, it would  have been impossible to plan for such a find.     Mr. Chirpich stated the owner has notified staff there is an additional  $300,000 of soil correction work needed on the property due to poor soils  discovered underneath the building.     Mr. Chirpich stated the Industrial Equities Renewal and Renovation TIF  District has a maximum duration of 16 years. Based upon current  estimates, the repayment term for the original $250,000 TIF note is 10  years. The EDA can choose to extend the duration of the assistance to  include the full 16 years. Increasing the duration of the district could  provide the developer with an additional $120,000 to help pay for the  additional soil corrections. He indicated staff from Ehlers has assessed  the request for additional assistance and have found the request  reasonable. If additional assistance is provided, the projected cash on cost  return to the developer would actually decrease. Therefore, providing  additional funding will not unduly enrich the developer.     He indicated the Council reviewed the request for additional TIF  assistance at the April 18 work session and the majority of the Council  was supportive of the request. He stated staff was directed to draft an  amendment to the redevelopment contract. He stated it is not unusual to  find adverse soil conditions and amendments are common. He noted the  key provisions and outcomes of the amendment include:   The maximum amount of additional assistance (applied to the TIF  note principal) is capped at $120,000   The owner will have to certify all costs for additional soil correction  work   If the actual costs incurred by the owner for additional soil  corrections are less than the estimated $300,000, the amount of  additional TIF assistance provided by the city will decrease  proportionally.   The duration of the TIF district will be extended to the full 16 years  allowed by statute.    Commissioner London pointed out the transaction was a private sale,  and he believes the applicant negotiated a lower price based on the  property’s condition. He noted he does not support additional financial  assistance.    EDA Meeting  Page 3 May 23, 2016 Mr. John Allen of Industrial Equities was recognized. Mr. John Allen  explained the land value and purchase price. He confirmed his desire to  move forward with the development even though it is not highly  profitable. He emphasized a new building with higher end users will  create jobs in New Hope. He commented he does not believe the project  will require the full 16 years of tax increment financing. Mr. Allen  thanked the EDA for its cooperation and patience.    Commissioner Lammle reported there are several redevelopment sites in  New Hope with poor soils, and the Council/EDA has previously agreed  to offset costs to remediate adverse soil conditions on other projects such  as the Parkview development.     RESOLUTION 2016‐ 10  Item 4  Commissioner Lammle introduced the following resolution and moved  its adoption “RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A  FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE

LLC, for the sale of 4415 and 4417 Nevada Avenue North (improvement  project no. 965).    Mr. Aaron Chirpich, community development specialist, stated in mid‐ April, Request for Proposals marketing city‐owned lots at $55,000 per lot  were sent to 19 builders. He stated the EDA reviewed the proposals at its

EDA agreed to fund up to $5,000 for curb cut costs for the two lots.    Mr. Chirpich stated the city has not worked with Regal Homes in the past  but Columbia Heights provided a positive reference for the builder. He  reviewed the home design and noted the anticipated sales price is  between $315,000 and $325,000.
