APPROVE MINUTES Motion was made by Commissioner Otten, seconded by Commissioner
Enck, to approve the EDA minutes of April 12, 1993. All present voted in
favor. Motion carried.
NEW HOPE TERRACE President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 4, Motion Approving
AGREEMENT Execution of Addendum to Assessment Agreement for Emerald Pointe
Item 4 Apartment Complex, FKA New Hope Terrace.
Mr. Donahue stated he met with representatives of Lang-Nelson this past
week regarding the assessment agreement. He recommended that the
owners provide an annual payment of $10,000 to the City in exchange for
the amendment to the assessment agreement. The $10,000 payment
would be utilized for housing purposes to benefit Iow and moderate income
housing efforts in the City. During 1992 the developer had offered to
provide funds to subsidize some apartments for Iow/moderate income
persons. He stated the change in the assessment agreement would lower
the market value of the apartment project and allow payment of less
property taxes. He noted the approximate net gain of $58,000 by the
developers with the amended assessment agreement.
Commissioner Enck questioned whether the addendum to the assessment
agreement (condition 4) is establishing the property's market value at
$5,000,000 rather than allowing it to be set by Hennepin County.
Mr. Donahue stated the market value will be established by the Hennepin
County Assessing Department. The developers will assume full cost of
principal and interest on the bond payments. The current surplus (excess
of $500,000) would remain in the funds which would cover two years of
interest and bond payments.
President Erickson pointed out that the amended assessment agreement
would remain in effect until the bonds are paid off regardless of a change
in property ownership.
Mr. Steve Sondrall, City Attorney, stated the owners have requested the
effective date of the amended agreement be January 1, 1991, so that it
would be applicable to taxes payable in calendar year 1992 and thereafter.
He explained if that occurred, the owners would be receiving an abatement
of their taxes for the last calendar year. Also, the City would receive a
New Hope EDA April 28, 1993
Page I
910,000 payment effective for the last calendar year.
Mr. Sondrall stated paragraph.4 which refers to debt service payment
would be for TIF bonds currently outstanding. The arrangement would
change in the event the City refinanced the bonds.
Mr. Sondrall stated the agreement would remain in effect until year 2003
or payoff of the bonds, whichever occurs first.
Commissioner Williamson voiced objection to the 910,000 payment
clause.
President Erickson expressed reservation regarding taking funding from one
complex to support an entirely different housing project.
Mr. Frank Lang was recognized and mentioned that the Addendum
includes a provision for a tempora~ construction easement.
Mr. Sondrall stated if the 36th Avenue Railroad Bridge is reconstructed Mr.
Lang has agreed to provide temporary construction easements at no cost
to the City.
Mr. Lang expressed his reluctance to providing the $10,000 payment and
reminded the EDA of the prior discussion of this issue at which time he felt
the EDA understood his inability to agree to the payment.
Commissioner Wehling questioned the events which transpired leading to
the discontinuance of the Iow and moderate income rental units.
Mr. Sondrall explained that the Minnesota Housing Revenue Bonds sold to
finance the project were repaid when the new owners purchased the
property. As a result, the requirements for subsidized rental units made
part of the deed covenants were released.
Commissioner Wehling questioned the action taken by the EDA at the April
12th meeting.
Mr. Donahue stated the EDA directed staff to proceed to draft the
document (the amended assessment agreement).
Mr. Lang emphasized that he is one of the better developers and multiple-
dwelling owners within the New Hope and the City should want to retain
and attract good people such as himself. He pointed out that he seldomly
makes requests from the City and if there was any way he could agree to
the 910,000 clause he surely would do so. He reiterated his commitment
to the apartment complex and urged the Council to approve the amended
assessment agreement without the $10,000 payment stipulation.
Discussion ensued regarding the annual $10,000 payment.
Commissioners Enck and Otten both expressed support of such a
stipulation since the funds would be earmarked for housing purposes. It
was noted that the assessment agreement was in place and Mr. Lang was
New Hope EDA April 26, 1993
Page 2
aware of it prior to the Purchase of the property.
Mr. Lang maintained his position of not being able to concede to the
$10,000 stipulation.
MOTION Motion was made by Commissioner Williamson, seconded by
Item 4 Commissioner Wehling, approving Execution of Addendum to Assessment
Agreement without the $10,000 payment clause.
Preceding voting on the motion, Commissioner Enck requested clarification
on the minimum market value.
The City Attorney stated the market value will be determined by the
Hennepin County Assessor with the minimum market value set at
$5,000,000. He also clarified that based on the preceding motion the
language regarding the $10,000 payment will be deleted from the
Addendum.
VOTE ON MOTION Voting in favor: Williamson, Wehling, Otten, Erickson, Enck; Voting
Against: None; Motion carried.
Commissioner Enck conveyed his support for the amendment and pointed
out that the original purpose of the contract was to satisfy the debt of the
tax increment financing bonds.
Commissioner Otten indicated that the EDA is very pleased with the new
management and hopes Mr. Lang has not been offended by any
discussions which have taken place.
IMP. PROJECT 467 President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 5, Resolution Authorizing
Item 5 Addendum to City of New Hope Development Contract for Autohaus
Addition (Improvement Project No. 467).
Mr. Donahue stated on April 12th the EDA approved an extension to the
development contract between the City and Autohaus. As a result, an
addendum to the development contract has been prepared and is now
before the EDA. The Addendum does not release the Letter of Credit, as
requested by Autohaus, and Autohaus would like to discuss this further.
Mr. Donahue explained that when he recommended return of Autohaus'
advance payments of $22,000, he was unaware of their refinancing
efforts. He stated as part of the refinancing, Autohaus is using the excess
$22,000 as part of the basis for the new mortgage. The request by
Autohaus is to be relieved of the $26,000 letter of credit obligation which
guarantees the developments.
Commissioner Enck cautioned the EDA against releasing the letter of credit
as it would be a significant precedent setting move in the City of New
Hope. He pointed out that the financial guarantee is designed to guarantee
certain development work and the project is not yet complete.
President Erickson questioned the possibility of the EDA holding the
New Hope EDA April 26, 1993
Page 3
$22,000 advance payments to guarantee completion of the development
work.
Mr. Sondrall commented that even if President Erickson's suggestion was
permissible, it would not assist Autohaus since earmarking the $22,000
for development improvements would affect their financial situation
pertaining to the refinancing issue.
Discussions continued regarding the improvements. Mr. Oestreich
contended that the financial security was required for assurance of proper
storm sewer work when the rear property is developed. He continued by
stating since they entered into the contract the auto business has
changed. He emphasized that they have dramatically improved the rear
portion of the site by removing debris and planting grass. He mentioned
the poor economy and that they have tried to cut their overhead including
personnel cuts. Mr. Oestreich continued by reporting the drainage on the
rear property is adequate and wondered whether the EDA would release
the financial guarantee if Autohaus agreed to forego future development
of that portion of property.
He also made reference to higher property taxes due to the purchase of
the animal hospital property and school district property. He stated the
property was consolidated into one large parcel causing real estate taxes
to increase by $9,000.
Mr. Oestreich concluded by pointing out they desperately need the funds
freed up in order to finish the front lot improvements (sign, paving,
landscaping, sidewalks, and front entrance).
The EDA expressed its desire for Autohaus to conclude the development.
Mr. Hanson confirmed that the $26,000 guarantee was required because
at the time Autohaus purchased the property from the school district they
planned to pave the rear area. The improvements included developing a
storm sewer system that would collect water from the bus garage plus the
new part of their site. The storm sewer system would bring the water to
a retention pond that would treat the storm water from the drainage area
before discharging it into the wetland (Old Dutch Pond). He pointed out
that the Autohaus property must be dealt with in accordance with the
wetland standards; however, if Autohaus' plans have changed, the storm
sewer improvements may not be warranted.
Mr. Sondrall raised the issue of amending the original development
contract. He stated the purpose of the loan was to allow Autohaus to
make private improvements plus public improvements for which the City
required a financial guarantee. He commented that currently the
development contract is such that it requires Autohaus to improve the rear
area and provide storm sewers. If Autohaus fails to improve the back
portion of their lot, they would be in default and the EDA could enforce the
contract by taking legal action.
He continued by stating the contract can be amended if the EDA desires
New Hope EDA April 26, 1993
Page 4
to relieve Autohaus Of Certain obligations involving the rear property. The
contract could be amended to provide Autohaus the option versus the
requirement to make rear lot improvements. He pointed out that by
providing this as an option, the financial guarantee would not be necessary
until they actually request permission to develop the area.
President Erickson stated the City has cooperated extensively with
Autohaus and if necessary may have to provide another extension to the
deadline for the rear property improvements.
Commissioner Williamson suggested re-negotiating the development
contract and reconsider the necessity of drainage work in the rear of the
property.
President Erickson stated the main objective of the contract was
completion of the front yard improvements.
Mr. Donahue offered to review the site with the City Engineer and make
a recommendation regarding the contract at a future meeting.
President Erickson suggested EDA members join staff to physically view
the Autohaus site.
MOTION Motion was made by Commissioner Wehling, seconded by Commissioner
Item 5 Williamson, tabling approval of the Addendum until May 10, 1993, and
directing staff to prepare a recommendation regarding storm sewer
requirements. All present voted in favor. Motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Commissioner Enck, seconded by Commissioner
Otten, to adjourn the meeting. All present voted in favor. The New Hope

MOTION APPROVING SUPPLEMBNTTAL CORRECTIVE ACTION DESIGN WORKPLAN
FOR 42ND/NEVADA AVENUES SOIL CONTAMINATION CLEANUP (IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT NO. 462)
Per the request of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and at the direction of the City,
Northern Environmental Technologies has prepared the enclosed Supplemental Corrective Action
Design Workplan for the remediation and further investigation of petroleum impacts on the City-
owned parcel at the northwest corner of 42nd/Nevada Avenues. At the April 13, 1992, EDA
meeting the EDA approved a Revised Corrective Action Design Workplan which called for the
excavation and treatment of ' source area" soils, the abandonment of one monitoring well prior
to excavation, and the construction of an additional groundwater monitoring well after the
excavation of contaminated soils. As you are aware, the scope of work on this project changed
when a cistern was discovered on the property, which took the gasoline contamination down to
depths of 23 feet and required a much greater amount of excavation. Due to these
circumstances,the MPCA required the City to submit a supplemental plan for further
investigation after the excavation. The enclosed plan, which has been verbally approved by the
MPCA, calls for the construction of two shallow groundwater quality monitoring wells and three
deep monitoring wells to evaluate the quality of the sand and gravel aquifer present 40-50 feet
beneath the site. The plan is similar to the one approved in 1992, except for the 3 additional
deep monitoring wells being requested. All costs associated with the cleanup are 90%
reimbursable through the Petro Fund.
Staff recommends a motion approving the Supplemental Corrective Action Design Workplan for
42nd/Nevada Avenues Soils Contamination Cleanup.

Dear Mr. McDonald:
RE: Request For More Work
Site: City of New Hope, 4401Xylon Avenue North, New Hope
Site IDg: LEAK00002387
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Tanks and Spills Section staff
have reviewed the Supplemental Corrective Action Design (CAD) report dated
April 6, 1993. The MPCA staff agrees with the recommendations of Northern
Environmental that the additional work proposed needs to be conducted at the
referenced property (Site). However, because the full extent and magnitude of
the petroleum contamination has not yet been defined, a CAD for the Site cannot
be approved. A CAD should be designed once the contamination has been fully
defined. Listed below are the MPCA requested modifications to the additional
work being proposed by Northern Environmental staff:
1. The extent and magnitude of contamination at the Site needs to be
determined before the proposed additional work is performed. Once the
extent and magnitude of contamination at the Site is defined modifications
to the proposed additional work may be necessary. Any additional
investigations should be conducted in accordance with all applicable MPCA
technical documents dated April 1993. If you have any questions concerning
the extent of investigative work please contact the assigned MPCA project
staff.
2. Ground water samples should be collected at the Site on a quarterly basis.
The ground water samples collected during the next round of sampling were
proposed to be chemically analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in
accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Method 465C. Due
to the possible presence of ground water contamination from on-Site
petroleum release(s), including waste oils, and the adjacent "Superfund"
site Electronic Industries, Inc., it is recommended that the ground water
VOC sampling be analyzed using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer
(GC/MS) method. The analyte list for the VOC GC/MS analysis should be
identical to the MDH Method 465D list of analytes. Therefore, ground water
samples collected during the next round of sampling should be chemically
analyzed for VOCs (GC/MS), total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline and
diesel range organics, polychlorinated biphenyls, and dissolved chromium
and cadmium. Future ground water sampling parameters will be based upon
these results.

RE: Supplemental Corrective Action Design, 42nd and Nevada Avenue Property, New Hope,
Minnesota, Leak #00002387
Dear Mr. Tetley:
Per your request, Northern Environmental Technologies, Incorporated (Northern Environmental)
has prepared a supplemental Corrective Action Design (CAD) workplan for the remediation and
further investigation of petroleum impacts occurring on a parcel of property owned by the City
of New Hope (the City) located at the northwest corner of the intersection of 42nd and Nevada
Avenues in New Hope, Minnesota (the Property). This supplemental CAD incorporates items
discussed during our June 12 and 19, 1992 conversations concerning excavation activities
completed to date and outlines additional investigation activities requested by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Background information for this project is included in Northern
Environmental's January 10 and March 6, 1992 reports.
EXCAVATION OF 'SOURCE AREA' SOILS
Kevitt Excavating, Incorporated (Kevitt) of Minneapolis, Minnesota was contracted by the City to
excavate "source area" soils in accordance with Northern Environmental's March 6, 1992 Revised
Corrective Action Design report. Excavation of source area soils was initiated on June 8, 1992
and completed on August 28, 1992 under the supervision of Northern Environmental personnel.
Petroleum impacted soils were first excavated from the southeast corner of the Property in the
vicinity of the former underground storage tank (UST) system fuel island. The findings of the
earlier remedial investigation indicated that petroleum impacted soils were limited in extent to a
4,000 square foot area west of the former USTs between one and seven feet below grade.
However, a "cistern" constructed of concrete block was unearthed near the fuel island and
impacted soils were identified to depths of approximately 21 to 23 feet below grade. The cistern
was approximately 6 feet in diameter and constructed between approximately two and twelve feet
below grade.
a subsidiary of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc.
Engineers & Architects · St. Paul, Minnesota
As it was apparent that a significantly greater volume of contaminated soil would have to be
excavated than was described in the CAD workplan, Mr. Dave Tetley of the MPCA was contacted
on June 12, 1992. Mr. Tetley verbally approved the excavation of soil to depths of up to 23 feet
below grade and requested that, in addition to constrUction of two shallow ground-water quality
monitoring wells in the vicinity of former monitoring well MW2 and boring B3 (described in the
Corrective Action Design workplan), three deep monitoring wells be constructed on the Property
to evaluate the quality of a sand and gravel aquifer present approximately 40 to 50 feet beneath
the site. Details of the final remedial excavation are summarized in the attached Excavation
Report for Petroleum Release Sites (Attachment 1). Ground-water quality monitoring well
construction and placement is described below.
PROPOSED ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION
As outlined in Northern Environmental's March 6, 1992 Revised Corrective Action Design,
monitoring well MW2 will be replaced and an additional monitoring well will be constructed in the
vicinity of borehole B3. The purpose of the additional well (MW3) is to provide an "early warning"
for well MW9, located within a downgradient alluvial channel containing deposits with
considerably higher hydraulic conductivities than on-site sediments.
Three monitoring wells will also be constructed within the buried aquifer beneath the site to
determine the quality of the aquifer, lateral and vertical hydraulic gradient, ground-water flow
direction, and velocity. The construction of the additional "deep" monitoring wells was requested
by the MPCA based on the presence of the cistern, the vertical extent of the petroleum impacts
identified at the site, and the proximity of a buried aquifer beneath the Property. A water well
record for a monitoring well placed outside the alluvial formation by Electronic Industries Holding,
Incorporated, approximately 300 feet west of the Property (Attachment 2), indicates that the
buried aquifer is located approximately 30 to 50 feet below grade.
Approximate static water levels obtained from water well records of wells located in the vicinity
of the Property suggest that the ground-water flow direction of the buried aquifer is generally east
toward the Mississippi River. Monitoring wells constructed within the buried aquifer at the
Property will be positioned in the vicinity of the former USTs near MW2 (DMW1), near the former
· fuel island and cistern (DMW2), and approximately 50 feet west of the Property near MW5
(DMW3) (Figure 1). Monitoring wells DMW1 and DMW2 will be placed immediately downgradient
of "source areas" to determine ground-water quality at these locations. Monitoring well DMW3
will be placed to determine upgradient water quality. Monitoring wells DMW1 and DMW3 will also
be used to determine the vertical gradient occurring at the Property. All wells will be constructed
in accordance with the Minnesota Health Department (MDH) Water Well Construction Code
(Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4725). Proposed monitoring well locations ars shown in Figure 2 of
Attachment 1.
Quarterly sampling will be initiated following the completion of the replacement and construction
of additional monitoring wells and will continue for a period of at least one year. As gasoline and
fuel oil USTs were reported to have been used at the Property, ground-water samples will be
collected from all monitoring wells except upgradient monitoring well MW6, for analysis of volatile
organic carbons (Method 465C), gasoline range organics, diesel range organics, and lead in
accordance with the MPCA's April 1993 "Soil and Ground-Water Analysis at Petroleum Release
Sites" guidance document. At the request of the Mr. Dave Tetley, dissolved cadmium and
chromium, and PCB concentrations will also be analyzed during the first round of sampling. All
laboratory analytical results will be compared to MDH Recommended Allowable Limits (PALs) for
contaminants in ground water. Only contaminants with detected concentrations approaching
or exceeding PALs will be analyzed in future sampling events.
I trust this information meets your needs at this time. Construction of monitoring wells and
quarterly sampling is tentatively scheduled for April 1993 and should be completed within
approximately one week. Ground-water monitoring reports will be submitted on a quarterly basis.
Please call us at 635-9100 if you have any questions or require additional information.

Tank No. Capacity Contents Type Age
No tanks are known to remain on site.
C. If the release was associated with the lines or dispensers, briefly describe the problem:
All fuel lines and dispensers were dismantled and/or removed prior to excavation activities. The
condition of the lines and dispensers is unknown, however, petroleum impacts identified in this
area indicate significant releases had occurred.
D. If the release was a surface spill, briefly describe the problem:
Not Applicable.
IV. EXCAVATION
A. Dimensions of excavation: 80' x 110' x 6 to 23' deep
B. Original tank bacldill material (sand, gravel, etc.): Sand
C. Native soil type (clay, sand, etc.): Silty Clay and Sandy Clay
'D. Quantity of contaminated soil removed (cubic yards): Approximately 5,100 yd-*
E. Was ground water encountered or was there evidence of a seasonally high ground water table?
At what depth?
Perched ground water was encountered approximately 5 to 7 feet below grade, however, due
to the nature of the native silty/sandy clays present at the site, appreciable amounts of ground
water did not enter the excavation.
F. If a soil boring was necessary (as indicated in part Vi of excavation 'Excavation of Petroleum
Contaminated Soil' for sand and silty sand native soils) describe the soil analytical and soil vapor
headspace results. Attach the bering logs and laboraton/results to this report.
Soil exploratory boreholes completed at the site prior to excavation indicated that petroleum-
affected soils were limited in extent to an approximately 4,000 square foot area west of the former
USTs between one and seven feet below grade. However, during excavation of soils in the
vicinity of the fuel island, a "cistern" constructed of concrete block was unearthed and impacted
soils were identified to depths of approximately 21 to 23 feet 'below grade in this area (Figure 2).
Boring logs and field and laboratory analytical data are included in Northern Environmental's
January 10, 1992 Remedial Investigation Report.
Excavation Report for Petroleum Release Sites

G. If ground water was encountered or if a soil boring was conducted, was there evidence of ground
water contamination? Specify, e.g., free product (specify thickness), product sheen, ground
water in contact with petroleum contaminated soil, water anaiy'dcai results, etc.
Laboratory data from the ground-water monitoring wells is summarized in Northern
Environmental's January 10, 1992 Remedial Investigation report. Concentrations of petroleum
constituents exceeding Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and MPCA guidelines and
regulations are present in perched ground water at the site. Due to the Iow ground-water flow
rate, the identified petroleum impacts were found to be limited in extent to areas west and
northwest of the former UST systems and had not migrated a significant distance off-site.
H.Was bedrock encountered in the excavation? At what depth?
Bedrock was not encountered.
I. Were there other unique conditions associated with this site? if so explain?
The presence of the above-described cistern appeared to have contributed to the vertical
migration of petroleum impacts in this area.
V. SAMPENG
A. Briefly describe the field methods (including the use of a photoionization detector) used to
distinguish contaminated from uncontaminated soil.
All soil samples collected were screened visually and by odors to determine if soils were
obviously impacted. A portion of each soil sample was also subjected to photoionization
detector (PID) screening in general accordance with the MPCA's "Jar Headspace Analytical
Screening Procedure" to evaluate the presence of volatile and semivolatile organic compounds.
Screening was performed by disaggregating each sample, placing the sample into a mason jar,
and sealing the jar with aluminum foil. The sample was then allowed to degas in a relatively
warm location (i.e. 60=F) for at least one half hour. The PID probe extension was then inserted
through the aluminum foil into the jar and the highest stable reading occurring within ten to
twenty seconds recorded. The PID utilized for field screening was an 580A OVA/Datalogger,
outfitted with an 10.6 eV lamp calibrated for direct response to isobutylene.
B. List soil vapor headspace analysis results. Indicate sampling locations using sample codes (with
sample depths in parentheses), e.g. SV-1 (2'), SV-1 (10'), etc. Samples that were taken at
different depths at the same location should be labeled SV-IA (2'), SV-IB (4'), SV-lC (6'), etc..
Field and laboratory data from the remedial excavation of impacted soil are summarized in Table
1. Laboratory analytical reports are included in Attachment A.
Excavation Report for Petroleum Release Sites
Page 5
April 6, 1993
C. ~ describe the soil sampling and handling procedures used:
Soil samples for laboratory analysis were grab samples collected from freshly exposed soil
surfaces. Clean disposable gloves and sampling utensils were used to collect the samples to
avoid cross contamination. Sample jars were filled so no headspace or voids existed. Excess
soil was wiped from the vial threads and the sample jar was sealed using a cap with a teflon
septum. The samples were labeled and packed on ice in a covered cooler for preservation and
submitted under chain of custody to Northern Environmental's MPCA approved contract
laboratory.
D. List the appropriate soil sample analytical results below (refer to the MPCA dOCUment .'Soil
Ground Water Analysis at Petroleum Release Sites'). If the petroleum was not gasoline or fuel

VII. SUMMARY
Briefly summarize evidence indicating whether or not add~ investigation is neceasa~ at the site, as
discussed in part VI of MPCA document 'Excavation of Petroleum Contaminated Soil.'
The "most impacted" rpetroleum-affected soil has been removed from the Property to the extent practicable.
Northern Environmental's January 10, 1992, March 6, 1992, and March 11, 1993 remedial investigation and
corrective action design reports outline the installation of two shallow monitoring wells and three "deep"
monitoring wells in the buried aquifer and continued quarterly monitoring as part of additional investigative
activities. These documents have been reviewed and verbally approved by the MPCA. Monitoring well
construction and sampling is currently scheduled for May 1993.

"Multi-Community Business Retention And Local
Market Expansion Project Proposal"
May 1992
The initial objective of the Multi-Community Business Retention and Local Market Expansion
Project is to collect basic business information for participating communities which includes:
a) number and types of businesses located in the community
b) products and services available
c) key employment data
d) identification of business needs and problems
e) where local dollars are deposited and spent
f) identification of new products and services for local business communities
A second set of collateral objectives will be to identify means:
)
a) to stabilize locally generated income
b) to achieve business retention objectives
c) to promote locally owned businesses
d) to match resident employment and business skills with local needs
· e) to import goods and services into the local economy through marketing strategies
f) to find ways to identify the informal local entrepreneur and encourage their
development and ~owth
g) to improve the quality of economic life in participating communities through marketing
and promotional strategies designed to develop community based enterprises
h) to design and promote local pro.ams that streamline joint purchasing opportunities and
coordinate cost saving service delivery systems
i) to promote local ownership
j) to promote local reinvestment of dollars generated in the local economy
k) to create an environment where business is encouraged to grow, be successful and__
become a partner in the local community
I) to secure public and private infrastructure expenditures that will enhance the local
economy
m) to mobilize local political power to help achieve these overall objectives
The Multi-Community Business Retention and Local Market Expansion Project will be
implemented by Community Resource Partnership, Inc. (CRP) on a contract basis. CRP will act
as an independent contractor and will execute the "Work Plan" described herein on behalf of
participating communities. The "CRP Work Plan" will require that participating cormrmnities be
committed over a period of time in order for all objectives of the project to be fully implemented.
The "CRP Work Plan" will be divided into four specific phases including Data Collection, Data
Analysis, Strategic Recommendations, and Marketing and Promotional Pro,ams. The following
details each phase.
1. Data Collection (1992-1995)
A local business census will be compiled.
Each participating community will have its sui-vey effort desired to fit its current
promotional and/or marketing effort. CRP management and sur~;ey personnel will be trained
to implement the survey effort consistent with each particular cities' marketing and
promotional needs and goals.
Data will be collected through surveys completed through the mail and by telephone. Hot-
Line telephone numbers will be referenced in all mailed survey materials in order for
recipients to easily access desi~ated city personnel and CRP staff. This will allow for "red
flag" type issues to be addressed. Data will be collected from businesses located in
participating communities.
The initial survey will focus on manufacturing, distribution, warehousing and related type
businesses.
All other businesses located in participating communities will also be surveyed.
Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) survey documents will
be used for the project, (i.e., manufacturing, general and/or retail - whichever are applicable).
In conjunction with the DTED document, a local questionnaire will be designed around local
community questions and issues.
The data collected from both surveys will be compiled and converted into a data base which
will be available to participating cities. Issues of confidentiality will be protected where
necessary.
All items identified through the sm'eying process requiring an immediate response from a
community will be "red flagged" and forwarded to the appropriate individual coordinating
these issues (i.e., job training needs, city ser~,ice problems, plant expansion needs, etc).
The information developed from this surveying effort will be shared with community or
technical college personnel where there is a specific business retention or training need
identified.
Implementation:
Depending on the number of participating communities this phase of the "Work Plan" w~ll
be executed over a 24 to 30 month period. Four trained CRP employes and ten to txvelve
volunteers will be desi~ated to carry out this portion of the "Work Plan." All surx,ey
personnel will be trained and supervised .on a re~lar basis. Their work will be turned in
re~larly and a computer specialist will convert all local survey work into CRP's data base.
Quarterly reports will be submitted to each participating community summarizing all data
collected and associated with their respective community.
2. Data Analysis (1992-t995)
Every six months a summary report will be produced for each participating conmmnity based
on information in CRP's data base as of that time.
Using the data available through these diverse sources, a detailed analysis will be prepared
which will identify:
a) general business conditions
b) business retention opportunities
c) business skill levels available in the community
d) products and services that could be produced or sold by local businesses
e) products or services that could be imported into the local economy
g) business opportunities that can be matched with community job training resources
h) non-traditional patterns of economic activity that could be promoted and developed into
new locally owned businesses
i) strategies that aggressively market local businesses
j) ways to encourage local reinvestment
k) community resources that can be leveraged to maximize investment in the local
economy
All analytical work and recommendations will be shared with business owners who
participated in the survey. Round-table business conferences will be scheduled to
communicate findings and recommendations. Data will also be shared with participating
Chambers of Commerce.
This portion of the "'Work Plan" will begin approximately six months after the initial su~,ey
work and will continue throughout the term of the project. It will be an on going process
of updating information and identifying opportunities as data is collected and processed.
3. Strategic Recommendations (1993-1995)
This portion of the "Work Plan" will be conducted by a team of professionals who have
experience in evaluating the kind of information collected. The Business Advisory Council
will include people with backgounds in business management, development, strategic
planning, economics, finance, educators with experience in business retention programs,
marketing and public relations, and other disciplines where needed.
The information produced in this phase of the "Work Plan", will identify specific action steps
that local communities can take to assist locally owned businesses to expand and market their
base business and improve their opportunity to broaden their market penetration, be it in
terms of products and/or sen, ices.
Specific business opportunity targets will be identified and witl be communicated to
participating communities. The general approach will be to build on local economic strengths
while seeking economic diversification and market expansion for locally owned businesses.
The following business opportunities will be identified:
a) expanded product and service identification programs and creation of local business
networking systems
b) local marketing strategies and opportunities to keep local economy healthy
c) linkage between local businesses and untapped markets
These targets will be approached in the following manner:
a) short term strategies (3-5 years)
b) long term strategies (5 years plus)
4. Marketing and Promotional Pro,ams
CRP xvill work with participating communities to prepare specific marketing and promotional
programs designed:
a) to help local businesses expand, succeed and prosper
b) to increase t~ total amount of business that is generated within the local economy
c) to carefully create linkages between local businesses and new customers in expanded
market areas
d) to act as a deliveD, system between the local community and community' based-
businesses, and the ultimate consumer located outside the local area
In addition, certain special events could be organized by CRP including, industry round table
conferences, business retention/job creatiort seminars in conjunction with the area communi9r
and technical colleges, and appreciation events in conjunction with local area chambers of
commerce.

Mayor Edward Erickson
City of New Hope
4401 Xylon Avenue North
New Hope, MN 55428
Dear Mayor Erickson:
The North Metro Business Retention and Development Commission cordially
invites the City of New Hope to participate in our Multi-Community Business
Retention and Market Expansion project. Cknxently the cities of Brooklyn
Center, Brooklyn Park and Blaine are involved in this unique pilot project
designed to find out what our cities can do to help retain, expand and promote
our local business community.
The idea stemmed from a series of conversations we had with a number of
business leaders in our communities. Local chambers of commerce, area
community and technical colleges, Minnesota Department of Trade and
Economic Development, the local business community and these three cities
have all joined together to carry out this effort. To our knowledge there isn't
another project like this operating anywhere in the country.
The following are examples of the types of information this project has
generated to date:
1) Nearly 700 businesses in these three cities have been surveyed; this
represents a 85% participation rate. In addition:
a. over 250 companies have indicated a n~,.ad to expand their facilities
and/or capital equipment.
b. over 175 companies have indicated that they would be hiring for
new positions.
c. over 100 companies have been identified as possible candidates for
providing summer youth employment oppommities.
2) The area community and technical colleges have received some 175
referrals from businesses expressing a n~,.zd for educational or customized
training programs.
3) Several hundred "red flag" issues have been referred to our cities for
processing. "Red Flag" issues are comments or issues raised through the
surveying process regarding subject matter which n~,x~zls immediate action
by the city. These comments address such subject matter as city services
and broader business n~,.cds (i.e. expansion, financial and small business
loan n~,_~s, etc.).
4) The need for business network groups, segregated within various business
sectors, and the Commission intends to pursue this opportunity in the
future.
5) A working task force, compromised of key business owners and/or
managers, is presently probing the manufacturing data base to identify
oppommities for expansion of business opportunities, job creation and
protection of our local tax base.
The Commission brings this information to your attention and wishes to extend
this oppommity to participate in the project on a special basis. The Commission
offers to survey a maximum of 100 New Hope businesses, on your behalf, at no
cost to the city. All we ask is that the city join the Commission by executing
the enclosed Joint Powers Agreement and identify the city's preferred business
list.
The Commission has hired the consulting fim~ of Community Resource
Partnership, Inc. (CRP) to conduct the business surveys and analysis. Attached
fund a copy of the original proposal, as submitted by CRP, which was the basis
for initiating this pilot project. CRP will begin the surveying process using the
enclosed surveying documents, upon receipt of your community business list.
CRP will then collect the data and submit reports to your attention.
The Commission hopes that you will consider this oppommity to participate in
this most unique project at no cost to the city.
Sincerely yours,
Don Poss
