VISITOR PRF_~ENTATIONS:
Boyle: Do we have anyone here that would like to address HRA at this time?
Steve Berquist: I would. Since I am on the agenda last, that refers to the City Council's
request for all HRA members to resign. My comments are not necessarily relative to that.
Particular item, by the way my name is Steve Berquist. I'm on the City Council. I live at
7207 Frontier Trail. But I do want to speak to my original intentions regarding the
reappointment of an existing HRA member. My ideal for the make-up of city commissions is
to have as wide a variety of personalities and ideas present on all boards as possible. This
allows for the greatest numbers of citizens to become involved in the planning and leadership
process. It affords opportunities for multitudes of interests and talents. I appreciate the stand
of the non-Council HRA members. Again, my original intent was simply to make the
appointment process available to other interested candidates. I call again for an open
application of the appointment process and Council interview sessions with the intent being to
recommend the most qualified, the most interested individual to the vacant position. Pve
personally spoken to five community members who have indicated an interest to serve on a
board of this type, either now or in the future. This conflicts positively with the previously
made statement that no one had applied for a previously advertised HRA vacancy. Properly
worded and advertised, we will get applicants. It is my belief that the HRA, as well as other
boards and commissions within the city should serve as a venue to provide community service
opportunities for a variety of citizens as well as provide a learning and experience and a
spawning ground for future officials, either elected or appointed. The HRA's reluctance to
permit the position to be advertised and interviews to be held, stifles that part of the process.
The auditor's report at the City Council's Monday work session brings many considerations to
tho floor. One of my biggest concerns is innovative, forward thinking leadership. Given tho
10 year financial forecasts on a state and federal level, each and every community needs to
examine how they do things. How to improve and how to implement change in order to
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
continue to run successful, vital and growing communities. It is my opinion that arbitrarily
renaming an HRA commission member or any other board or commission member is not in
the best interest of the city of Chanhassen. Andrew Carnegie was once asked the reasons for
his success. He replied that he hired people smarter than himself. We need to search out the
best people our town has to offer and allow them opportunities to serve. I have said before
and I say again that I would not be making these, that I would be making these regardless of
who's appointment is up. I honestly think that one Councilmember is an adequate liaison.
Our greater need is to bring as many bright and talented people into the public process as is
possible, and I hope you agree with me. Thank you.
Boyle: Thank you Steve. Why don't we start with you Charlie, if you have any comments
regarding that. I have one I guess maybe before we start. Steve you said something about
HRA's reluctance to advertise. It really isn't HRA's reluctance. We really have no say in
that, quite honestly, as this commission or were we approached at any time and asked to do
so. This is strictly a function, as I understand it, of the Mayor and the Council. And if I'm
incorrect, somebody please correct me.
Steve Berquist: If the question were put to you, would you be in favor of advertising?
Boyle: Individually, personally I. would have no problem with advertising that position. That
I can only speak for myself. Each commissioner would have to do the same. Any
comments? Charlie, would you like to make any comments?
Robbins: Well just back to what Councilman Steve has mentioned and what you Chairman
Boyle. Regarding the need to advertise. I guess first, I would not see a problem doing that.
I think, I agree with what Steve is saying is that yeah, let's get some people that, advertise the
slot if it's open. If there are people that want to apply and serve the community, because we
are volunteers. We've got good help to do it, do it I guess.
Boyle: Jim, do you have any comments you'd like to make?
Bohn: When I first got here the HRA did interview every applicant before the appointment
and after review from the HRA, it went to the Mayor and the Mayor then made the decision.
Boyle: If I'm not mistaken, and again correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Mayor has
the sole authority to approve or disapprove even the advertising. As I recall from.
Steve Berquist: I can speak to that a little bit and I could be erroneous and I don't have the
document in front of me but I believe the Council recommends and the Mayor appoints.
Homing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Chmiel: Council has, that's correct. The Mayor has the full authority as to appointing who is
reappointed to the HRA by Statute.
Steve Berquist: Well, I don't intend.
Boyle: That's correct.
Steve Berquist: I'm sorry, what was that Todd?
Gerhardt: With the Council confirming.the appointment.
Steve Berquist: Okay.
Boyle: Mike, did you want to make any comments?
Mason: Well you made the comment about you .know, it's never come to HRA whether it
should be advertised or not so I'm glad you made that comment. Steve you know, with State
Statute saying what it says, I'll defer to that. In terms of positions being advertised, I don't
have any trouble. I do have a little trouble with, I thini~ we need to be careful, and I don't
care whether it's in the private sector or the public sector or on a commission or a committee,
to just appoint new people for the sake of appointing now people. If a position has opened
up and there are five candidates there, and we choose the best candidate, that's fine. But I
don't want to be in a position of throwing out the baby with the bath water either.
Steve Berquist: I said originally, and during one of our Council meetings, and I don't moan
to carry this out at this time but I had said originally at one of the Council meetings that if in
fact the process were permitted to go forth and the Council felt that the existing HRA
members were the best and the brightest, I have no problem with that. I don't want change
for change sake. That's not the intent.
Boyle: Steve, I really don't know, because of the StatUte and because of liRA's, their
authority does not carry the authority to comply with some of your requests at this time.
I'm really not quite sure.
Steve Berquist: Well, I simply wanted to make a visitor presentation to bring my position to
the floor because there's been a lot of malarkey thafs been banding about in the last 2 weeks
that state, that pretty much iterates that the Council's position was not well thought out.
Erroneously based. And it's not the situation that has just recently come up. So this
opportunity...myself for me to stand up and actually tell you five individuals what my plan,
my intent originally was. Having been afforded that, I'll just shut up for this evening.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: Thank you for the input though. We do appreciate it Steve. Does anybody else have
any questions of Steve?
Robbins: One for the Mayor, in this case also being a member. In terms of the ultimate
appointment, if by chance that the Council, exclusive of yourself, said we would not
recommend this person, would that come to a vote of majority or do you still have the
ultimate right to appoint? Even without the Council's say.
Chmiel: Yes. Statute so dictates that the Mayor has the full authority for that appointment.
Boyle: Okay. Is there anyone else present that would like to address the HRA tonight? If
not, we'll move right on to new business.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH APPLE AMERICAN
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF MN (APPLEBEE~).
Todd Gerhardt presented the staff report on this item and asked if there were any questions.
Boyle: Just have a couple to start with Todd. Thank you for the briefing. Has this, this
looks like a typical purchase agreement. Has it been reviewed by the City Attorney?
Gerhardt: The City Attorney has read it.
Boyle: Okay. Has City Council had any involvement to date, since the agreement with
Applebee's, has there been any briefing to City Council or has there been any involvement on
their part?
Gerhardt: No there has not.
Boyle: Okay, Charlie. I guess we'll start with you then. Any questions.
Robbins: Can I just go through the whole document? Okay. Item number 3. Buyer was
concerned that staff was forcing them to buy more green area. I think that when the builders
come in, they are aware of what our requirements are regarding green area and doing that so
why would they be coneerned...exactly what it is. To receive a credit, I don't see that
happening at all. First of all. Okay, that's the first one. Item number, if you go to the
indenture. 2.13. It says that the commission, paid and so forth, that's really not a problem of
us. I don't really see why the commission, in terms of the dollars, why we care about that.
Gerhardt: 2.137
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Robbins: I think so. It says the purchase price of 8.5 and so on. Unless I've got the wrong
paragraph here.
Chmiel: Charlie, what page are you on?
Mason: 2.1.3.
Chmiel: Yeah, that's what I have here. Thafs on the square footage ancC..
Robbins: Okay, my fault. Next one would.be on 4.5.5. It says a $10,000.00 to buyer for the
soil correction costs. Typically buyer takes up those charges. Not the seller. So to give
them money back, why do that? Also on 4.7. It says seller and buyer share closing fees.
Typically the buyer pays for the closing company charges. If you look at item number 9.1.
It says seller and buyer enter into a contract with private, for assistance in utilities. Not to
exceed $25,000.00. Why would we want to assist the buyer with utilities?
Gerhardt:
Robbins:
Well we don't want to put the utilities in for them.
Well it says on 9.1. It says seller and buyer shall enter into a contract.
Gerhardt: That's the one I highlighted under item number 8.
Robbins: So the buyer should be totally responsible. Why would the seller? We are the
seller.
Gerhardt: We are the seller. They are the buyer. And what staff is recommending in the
purchase agreement that you enter into a private redevelopment agreement with Applebee's
giving them a half year's worth of increment to assist in writing down their costs.
Robbins: That's what I'm saying. Is that...should be pulled out to not give them any
assistance.
Gerhardt: That's the decision of tho HRA if you want to pull it out. Staff put it in there
because they requested assistance in writing down this $100,000.00 fees. They felt that it was
excessive and we do not control the Metropolitan Council fees which I included all the foes
in your report on attachment #2. And Met Council fees are $21,250.00. The building permit,
sewer and water hook-ups, sewer surcharge, and park and trail fees total $72,000.00. And
with that we are, staff put in saying we'll give you a $25,000.00 credit.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Robbins: Okay, and then the next one is on paragraph 9.1.2. Seller and buyer and it goes on
to describe the commission to... Again, I don't think that's appropriate to be in a purchase
agreement. Let the buyer of the land take care of their own commissions themselves.
Gerhardt: It's not a liability under the HRA.
Robbins: Well then if it's not a liability, then we can pull the paragraph then.
Gerhardt: It's up to the HRA if they would like to do that. They can do that. Do you want
me to answer some of the other ones?
Boyle: Are you finished Charlie with your, did you have some others?
Robbins: Yeah.
Boyle: Yes Todd, maybe we address them now.
correct?
We have Applebee's people present, is that
Gerhardt: No. They are not present.
Boyle: Okay. Then maybe it'd be best that you try to answer Charlie's questions and we'll go
from there. That might save some time because I'm sure that will, some of his will clear
some of our's, I'm sum
Gerhardt: As for the seller and buyer sharing equal share of the closing fees charged by the
title company. That's been in all purchase agreements.
Robbins: No, it's not in all purchase agreements Todd.
Gerhardt: In the ones that we've entered into and some that our attomey drafted. I do not...
so I would think that it's been in most of those that we've had for the }IRA. As to item, was
it 2.1.37
Boyle: I believe that was the original one he thought was 2.1.3 and then went right on to
4.5.5. Am I not correct Charlie?
Robbins: Yes. I think what I was eluding to was number 3 on your memo versus the
purchase price so maybe that was.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Gerhardt: That's to the soil corrections. Again, that's up to the HRA. If you do not want to
provide the $10,000.00 in anticipated soil corrections, you can take that out of there. We felt
comfortable that the soils are adequate out there. We agreed to put up to $10,000.00 if they
conclude to us, before 10 days before closing.
Boyle: Is this typical also?
Gerhardt: I wouldn't say it's typical. It's not in all our agreements but from the soil reports
that we have, it shows that the soils are adequate in that area. The soils that are under
question would be those soils to the east of their site and on this one, and we put it in just for
saying we're not here to say you know the soils are crappy. Go ahead and do whatever you
want to do. In Chanhassen you know it's, I can't sit here and say it's good soils because you
know Target did I don't know how many borings around their site and they found a half
million dollars worth of soil correction right in the middle. And Boston Market had
$71,000.00 worth of soil corrections. The liRA is contributing to the soil corrections on the
Boston Market and Perkins has $12,000.00 and I don't know what Taco Bell has. But a
grand total you're providing roughly $120,000.00 worth of soil corrections on that site. So
staff felt that based on the soil reports we had, that only $10,000.00 we felt pretty
comfortable...
Boyle: So it is fairly typical that the HRA does put a certain amount, or agree to a certain
amount if soil corrections are necessary?
Gerhardt: Yes.
Bohn: Were you aware of that.
Boyle: Let's stay on this issue for a while.
Bohn: Were you aware of a soil corrections on Boston Market or Target? Paying for it?.
Boyle: I don't recall that, quite honestly.
Bohn: I don't either.
Gerhardt: The private redevelopment agreement that you entered into with all three of those
tenants provided $120,000.00 and that $120,000.00 was a 2 year program. And it calls out
for soil corrections. That those dollars must be used for soil correction. And they have
submitted engineering reports showing that there is approximately $120,000.00 worth of soil
corrections...
·
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: So even though we feel that there might not be a need for that, there is still a pretty
good, I mean there is a possibility.
Gerhardt: Right.
Boyle: Don, do you have any comments regarding this issue? I think we'll stay with this
one.
Chmiel: Well yeah. The soil borings, I think in this one we were a little, we took a little
more precaution of making sure that we did a little better cross hatch of those, is that correct?
Gerhardt: Well I mean, you know after seeing the Target scenario, the only way that you're
going to definitely know if that has adequate soils on that site is if you do...say I can't sit here
and say that you're not going to pay $10,000.00...
Boyle: Mike.
Mason: Not at this time Gary, thanks.
· Boyle: Todd, in your opinion. If this was not on the purchase agreement, would it
jeopardize the agreement? Or delay the agreement, in your opinion?
Gerhardt: I don't think so. There was one that, you know if there are bad soils on there,
$10,000.00 is not going to cover it. You know Boston Market $71,000.00 to correct those
soils. We put $10,000.00 saying you know if there is something bad out there, we don't want
to sit here and say we sold you a bad...$10,000.00 credit not knowing exactly, and not willing
to spend $2,000.00 to go out and do a boring to verify... Now if you would prefer to spend
$2,000.00 and going out and doing the soil boring...
Bohn: Why do we have to do either?
Gerhardt: You don't have to. I'm just giving options.
Boyle: Did somebody ....
Mason: Yeah. Who typically, I'm trying to think of when we had our house built and if we
wanted to do soil borings, that was fine but we had to foot the bill for it. And then any
corrections and I understand past practice and I think to some extent we certainly need to take
that into account. What responsibility does Applebee's have to find out whether the site is
buildable or not? Well obviously it's buildable but, correctable or what not.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Gerhardt: They would have to hire a certified soil en~neer to come out and do the borings
and then...soils are adequate to support the kind of building they're proposing to build on it.
And what we're saying is that we will give them $10,000.00...
CiCero was a tape change at this point in the discussion.)
A motion was made and seconded to keep parag~ 4~ up to $10,000.00 to the buyer for
anticipo__~d soil correction costs provided they provide the documentation within 10 days of
closing. All voted in favor, except Mason and Chmlel who opposed, and the motion carded
with a vote of 3 to 2.
Boyle: I think we either say we go or no go, quite honestly. All in favor?
All voted in favor, except Mason who opposed.
Boyle: ...opposed Don?
Chmiel: I'm still weighing this'in ~ny own mind. I _thini~ if you have a piece' of property and..
you feel confident in it, I will vote against that motion. -
Boyle: Then for the record the motion carries that we will keep paragraph 4.5.5 up to
$10,000.00 to the buyer for anticipated soil correction costs provided they provide the
documentation within l0 days of closing. Okay, next item.
Robbins: On item 4.7, I would strike the word seller and buyer shall absorb the closing fee
charged by the title company.
Chmiel: I would agree with that.
Bohn: Is that a motion?
Robbins: That's a motion.
Boyle: Seconded? Would you officially second it Don?
Chmiel: Yes. I'll second that.
Boyle: Todd, do you have any comment before?
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Gerhardt: Mark, if I may go to your experience on this. Typically is it the buyer that pays all
those closing costs?
Mark Senn: While you're dealing with 4.7, as I read this, is the title company fees. The
closing fees which generally, I don't know, a few hundred dollars. Generally speaking that
closing fee, okay. I mean I want to be careful here because I'm not talking about closing
costs. I'm talking about that closing fee is typically paid by the seller.
Gerhardt: By the seller. So we are splitting it.
Mason: So we're coming out ahead on this one?
Mark Senn: But the agreement doesn't address the rest of the closing costs which are all a lot
more substantial than the little fees that the title company charges. Either question should be
dealt with at the time.
Boyle: Isn't it true the seller should prove that there's clear title to the property? I mean isn't
that the seller's obligation?
Gerhardt: We will.
Boyle: Ohl But that's how I read 4.7. Seller and buyer, except we say we're going to split
the cost of doing it which I agree with Mark. I mean the title company fee. and Charlie you
work on this stuff too all the time. I'm sure that's why you brought this up, but the title
company fee is minimal and usually is paid by the seller, as I understand it. Do you think
differently?
Robbins: It depends on what aspect you're talking about. Because there's, you've got closing
costs and you've got closing fees and you've got some things represented so the word closing
fee is a very, it's a very loose word there. I'd be very careful about that.
Boyle: Well it says the closing fee charged by the title company.
Mark Senn: I think you're bringing it back, and I'm sorry to the point of the confusion. Keep
it separate. Closing fee is nothing more than the fee you pay to the title company to
administratively close the transaction. In your definition you started working in the definition
of title insurance of the title. Providing good title. Okay. Normally yes, the seller is required
to provide a good title. As a matter of open negotiations who provides the ongoing title
insurance.
10
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: Okay.
Mark Senn: Okay? And that's another one of the "closing costs". But again now were
talked about two of roughly maybe ten closing costs.
Chmiel: How about if I make just a suggestion?
Gerhardt: Item 4.5 lists all the other settlements. Seller shall pay at closing State Deed Tax.
All the costs associated with the foe and rifle insurance commitment, including name searches,
tax searches, bankruptcy searches, property inspection fees, and pay recording fees for
corrective instruments required to remove encumbrances and place marketable title in the
buyer's name. The survey and then the buyer shall at closing, all recording fees, charges
related to the filing of the deed and title insurance premium. The buyer. I think that's
fairly...
Robbins: However since we're the seller, one would think you would draft' documents in
favor of the seller. So I'm just trying to make it in favor of ourselves. So since Pm the seller '
here, I guess I would like to see. things sldnte, d to me' so why world I want to divide the cost?"
I'm just trying to say hey, if the buyer wants it, let tho buyer take care of it.
Boyle: Okay we have a motion and a second to strike seller...
Chmiel: I would, if I could just add something. It is a duplication of what we have on 4.6.2
as opposed to 4.7. But if it would make Charlie fool any better, it maybe should road tho
buyer shall pay for the closing fee chhrged by the title company.
Robbins: Fair enough.
Gerhardt: Mr. Chairman?
Boyle: Yes.
Gerhardt: I don't think it's a duplication. It's two separate things. I think that's what Mark is
saying also. The fees are separate. There is a fee called a closing fee and it's approximately
$200.00-$300.00. And ifs a separate item. Separate from title insurance premiums. Separate
from abstracts and tax service. It is a separate item.
Chmiel: Okay. So as I read it, the buyer shall pay for the closing fee charged by the rifle
company.
11
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Mason: Which is typically paid for by the seller.
Boyle: Not necessarily.
Chmiel: No.
Mark Senn: The...almost always is paid by the seller. I mean rarely...And again, this is just a
small...The theory is the seller is paying to close the transaction to sell the property. That's
why the benefitting party back to the seller...
Boyle: So do we stay with this motion then? If it's normally the seller, it sounds like we're
coming up pretty good by splitting it. But if we take it out altogether, then we probably
spent more time than it's worth right now over a $300.00 decision so I would like to move it
forward one way or the other.
Mason: Call the question. I'll call the question.
Boyle: Thank you. Would you like to, who'made the motion? Charlie, v~ould you like to
amend the motion?
Robbins: No I would not.
Boyle: Okay. And you still second it?
Chmiel: I would like to withdraw my second Charlie. Because I think there is a good point
to that. As it was indicated.
Boyle: Do we have a second to the motion? To Charlie's motion. And protocol says that if
we don't have a second.
Chmiel: It dies as is.
Boyle: So we will move to the next one I guess Charlie.
Robbins: Okay, on item 9.1.
Boyle: Charlie, before you get started, can I just make one comment. Todd, in the future it
might be good to have an attorney present representing to help answer some of these
questions a little more rapidly when we get into such agreements. Purchase agreements.
When we're reviewing them. Excuse me Charlie for interrupting. 9.1.
12
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Robbins: On 9.1. Seller/buyer etc. For assistance with utilities. I would strike the word
seller. Chairman, while I'm representing myself as a seller. So why do I want to enhance the
buyer if I can get a good deal as being the seller? Which I'm saving the money for the city
here. I mean why spend money?
Boyle: Well Charlie if the, as I understand it and correct me if I'm wrong Todd but if the, as
I understand it and correct me if I'm wrong Todd but if the buyer was requesting say a half
year of tax increment, okay. And correct me if Pm wrong but this is actually in lieu of that
offer, is it not Todd?
Gerhardt: Yes.
Boyle: Would you have objection to that part?
Robbins: I think we would have to look at it and see exactly the way it's structured. Right
now that does not say anything about that under 9.1.
Boyle: No, but I think Todd had addressed the fact that it was kind of in lieu of.
Gerhardt: If the HRA is thinking about dropping that out completely, then I would just say,
instead of taking seller out or buyer out, just eliminate 9.1 because he can't enter into this...
Bohn: Was that a motion?
Robbins: Yes it is a motion.
Bohn: I'll second it.
Boyle: Discussion.
Mason: Todd, could you run over the rationale again for this assistance.
Gerhardt: Well this is one where you fall into actually being a city and negotiating a land
sale with somebody that's developing. They come in and see what...and we always feel like
if we can somewhat help them out of that situation. They have built in the metro area and
they understand what these fees are and are looking for assistance in writing down those
costs. Typically with a restaurant you have a lot of SAC charges that go along with it
because they wash a lot of dishes. And the Met Council looks at that as that's a lot of water
you have to treat. So with that they are asking for relief to help offset those up front building
permit fees because they feel as if they're paying more than most people...sewer and water
13
·
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
systems. And our argument back is always that, well you're using a bigger percentage of the
treatment for your waste water. You're a big waste water contributor to our system. So the
Council is just in asking for these fees. However in the HRA...you can provide relief in
entering into a private redevelopment agreement. And that's all they're asking for is relief of
those permit fees. And they're not taking the dollars off the top of the $8.50. They're taking
it out of the increment that they would generate. They're not asking for the money up front.
They're asking them to come in and they make their first tax payment of approximately
$50,000.00, they would like to receive half of that back as assistance to write down those
fees.
Mark Senn: Mr. Chairman, could I beg your indulgence?
Boyle: Yes Mark.
Mark Senn: Maybe because I'm foolish enough to be here, I'm being foolish enough to
speak. I don't know.
Boyle: We appreciate your input.
Mark Senn: I think you're getting needlessly lost in detail and it's not your fault, okay. I
think we all agree we'd love to have Applebee's here in town, or another family style
restaurant. The problem here is before you, you do not have a report that economically gives
you the picture of this project. Nowhere in front of you do you have that. You have
something that starts to get towards it in your last page but then under incentives, I mean it
sits there and tries to tell you that the total incentives of $24,000.00 going into this property.
There's a chance there may be another $10,000.00. There's a chance...green space. Let's
make some assumptions and let's stick them in. There's another big one in here. What's the
amount we're paying for assessments? I mean that's the biggest number of all we're talking
about here. We're nickeling and diming the discussion here. The big dollars, What's the true
subsidy going in in terms of paying assessments. Okay. If you put together an economic
picture of this project, I think you're going to arrive very quickly at an interesting conclusion.
And I'm not sure it's one at least, you know I'm going to say from the city's perspective I
don't think they want to be responsible for it and I don't think the HRA does either. But what
...is happening here is we're artificially inflating land values in the city of Chanhassen.
There's no property in this town that's worth $8.50 a square foot. There's no property in this
town that's even sold for even remotely close to $8.50 a square foot and I think it's a little bit
of a farce that we're trying to push a deal through at $8.50 and then we're trying to back
everything out of it. That doesn't make sense. I mean the real sale price ought to reflect all
these things. If they're supposed to be backed out, well let's back them out up front and let's
get the sale price where it realistically should be, because I'll tell you what. As soon as you
14
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
do this deal, there's going to be a whole bunch of other people running around this town
saying oh, land sells for $8.50 in Chatthassen now and boy, do they take adyantage of' it.
They can say, well the city sells their land for that You know from a project market
standpoint, I think that's a bad move. And again, you don~t have enough information in front
of you to really make that kind of evaluation so you're stuck here sitting arguing over, excuse
me, closing fees and utilities. And this utilities issue is a significant enough one, with a
dollar amount attached, but to me it doesnt give you half, I mean it doesn't even give you
that much of a utility picture because what's the overall subsidy going in in terms of the
investments and the true write down on the property. Now if you take that out of the land
price too, that will give you the true land value. Okay. But that's one of the problems with
all of the reports that come before you guys. I can go back and pull a bunch of them out. I
mean you get these partial statements and you know partial synopsis of what's there. And to
sit here with a report that says total subsidy going into this project is $24,000.00, I mean it's
just phenomenal.
Boyle: Thank you Mark. Appreciate your comments. Todd, would you like to comment
back towards that in any way?
Gerhardt: Well, I don't know where I should start. I mean the $8.50 is, the reason we had it
at $8.50 and we're backing the $25,000.00 out is that, if you can use increment to help offset
some of their needs or assistance, it's different. It's called non-tax increment dollars. We take
the true $8.50 that we get for this property and stick it into a historical tn~. Thus we earn
interest off that money which assists in writing down the cost of maintaining the downtown
areas. And providing subsidies in the housing or whatever other projects that the HRA maY
want to see you do. So we're not trying to inflate land prices in the downtown area~ We're
not trying to take the price off the top of this agreement. We're just trying to maximize the
amount of dollars off of this site and make sure that we put it into historical tru~ And most
appraisers, and I met with one again today...how much tax increment goes into a project.
Orlin Sharer understands that we give assistance and he tacks it down. Right now the true
market value of property in downtown Chanhassen, on the assessment books is around $6.50
to $7.00 depending on location. And on this one, you've got 50 cents a square foot tacked on
to the $8.00 to help purchase the land on the south side of West 79th Street. Mark does
bring up a good point regarding the assessments and I did not include that in there but you
should know that. That is a good point. That you should know the prorated amount of
assessments that are going onto this. And I hope that you maY continue...provide that
information back to you. I meant to put it in but I did not get it in there. It's one lump sum
and I got to back it all out against all the other properties so it is a good point.
Boyle: I'd make note of that too. Okay, right now we have a motion on the floor and a
second I believe. There was a motion made. What was it, 9.9? 9.17
15
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Mason: Can we still have discussion7
Boyle: Yes, by all means.
Mason: Well, I kind of wonder with this, that this should be tabled and get some of these
other questions answered. What are we, they're not looking until January 1, fight?
Gerhardt: Yes.
Mason: So I'm kind of assuming we're not in a real big hurry here.
Gerhardt: Nope.
Mason: I guess I know there's a motion on the floor and I'm not quite sure of the protocol
here. Okay. If Charlie wants to withdraw his motion.
Robbins: Chairman Boyle, I would withdraw the motion, assuming I can make another
motion.
Boyle: Okay Charlie. Now you, yes. Go ahead. You can withdraw and make another
motion.
Robbins: As Todd has mentioned and as other people have mentioned, it sounds like the
information we have is not totally complete so I would motion that we table the whole item
of the purchase agreement with Apple until we have better information on financials, etc.
Mason: I will second that.
Boyle: Discussion.
Robbins moved, Mason seconded to table action on the Purchase Agreement with Apple
American Limited Partneaship of MN (Applebee's) for additional information. All voted in
favor and the motion carried.
Boyle: Todd, that would include the subsidies for the true assessments, etc. Or the subsidy.
You had made comment on that.
Gerhardt: As I understand it, you want staff for to bring it back until the assessments... Is
there anything else you want to see besides the assessments?
16
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: What about this item 9.1 ? Do you expect staff to make, I mean that was open for
discussion and it was moved on and seconded and never voted. It went away.
Mason: It was withdrawn.
Boyle: Withdrawn? But I mean I don't want to spend another 30 minutes on this same _thing
at the next meeting.
Robbins: Personally looking at that and Pve seen over 1,000 of these in my banking career of
20 years. It appears in favor of the buyer, not the seller so if our attorney for the city is
writing these, let's have him write in favor of the seller and not the buyer.
Mark Senn: There is, as far as 9.1 goes I think, and Don might correct me if I'm wrong but
never when the issue came up over St. John's Church as it related to knocking off or crediting
or something in relationship to the utility charges and staff came in and said, there's just no
way we can do that. It's going to create a precedence. It's going to kill us' all. It'd be the
worst thing that ever happened to us so we went to the...that maybe someday will work or not
pay but was a deferral and now here we a~e:..to prey{de that credit back, which is directly
contradictory to what we were asked to do before and told why we couldn't do it. So I think
the real issue you need to look at again here is, you know are we asking too high a sale price
and then tying back $25,000.00 and creating a precedence that we shouldn't be creating in the
first place.
Chmiel: Yeah but Mark, some time ago I remember another piece that had come before us as
a group and at that time you were saying we were selling it too low for that piece of
property. We should get more dollars than what we did get. And now we're a little high.
What did Richfield Bank and Trust sell their property for? Somewhere along the line I heard
$13.00.
Gerhardt: Above $8.50.
Chmiel: Above $8.50, yeah.
Mark Senn: But Don, purchase agreements typically are not written this way. Purchase
agreements typically don't set a sale price and then start crediting a bunch of stuff back
against it.
Chmiel: Well no, I agree.
Mark Senn: Make an agreement on what they're paying for the property.
17
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Chmiel: Some of those things we're looking at, right.
Boyle: Todd, many of the things you've heard tonight, I guess obviously if they're addressed
before hand, or if you need a special meeting or anything, we can accommodate that too.
And maybe the background on other, the purchase price somehow. Justifying the purchase
price. Because it seems to be in question. Whether this purchase price should be $8.50 or
$8.00 or $7.50 and not have the $25,000.00 in there is probably, that issue will come up
again so somehow we have to, and maybe we can talk about it afterwards too so.
Gerhardt: The $8.00 a square foot came from settlements that we made with Charlie James
and City Council approved that. I-IRA approved that...and I mean, you can't get more of a
true market value than what we sell it to Charlie James.
Boyle: That's why I didn't think the $8.50 was really so far out of line, quite honestly. My
own personal opinion. But I think the way it was proposed was that, and that $8.50 also
included part of the commission that was being tacked on plus now this $25,000.00 that
actually... Well, it has been tabled until our next meeting. Let's move on t.o item number 3
then.
CONSIDF~R APPROVAL OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH TIRF3 PLUS.
Todd Gerhardt presented the staff report on this item.
Boyle: Would representatives from Tires Plus like to address the HKA at this time before we
go with further discussion?
Ron Fiscus: Certainly. My name is Ron Fiscus with the... We have been doing the design
work, working with Todd and staff on the planning process. Also with me is Jim Diamond
from...Development who has been handling a lot of the real estate side of things. I guess as
we've approached the project, and we may be in a little bit different circumstance than
Applebee's. A number of the things that are included in the Applebee's agreement are not
within our's and I guess my perception is that our agreement is a little more straight forward
than, and hopefully fewer questions involved with that. As we reviewed the agreement,
there's been some other discussions today with Todd. With Mr. Walston representing the city
from the legal standpoint. There are some clarification items that we have asked to be
included within the agreement that the city attorney has said that he doesn't have any
particular problem with and Todd's in agreement with and I would like to bring those issues
up. One of them has to do with the timing of the project. As the agreement that I believe
you have in front of you is drafted, it provides the city the opportunity to back away from the
project if Applebee's doesn't close by January 31st. We have an option agreement with the
18
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
McCarville property across the street south from this site that the city is intending to use to
mitigate some of the wetlands that are on this piece of property trying to redevelop. So it's in
the city's interest for that property to bo purchased. Tires Plus is very willing to assign it's
right of purchase to the city to exercise. That option expires January, or December 31st of
this year. Tires Plus is incurring substantial costs every month to keep that option going so
it's in Tires Plus' interest to move as rapidly as possible to exercise, for the city to exercise
the option. Purchase the property. Have Tires Plus buy it's property for the city as rapidly as
possible. Something that I hope everyone remembers is that these negotiations on these
development agreements have been going on between ourselves and staff and city attorney's
staff for many months and there's a lot of stuff that's been happening that I'm sure you're not
privy to. And one of the things we had asked for earlier in the project was that as Tires Plus
is holding onto that option to be able to' acquire that McCarville property at a reasonable
price, will the city be able to use that for mitigation. We ask that perhaps Tires Plus should
be reimbursed for some of those ongoing holding costs that they have. In response Todd
expressed a concern that he really didn't want to put the city in a position of having to pay
for those and suggested instead that he would rather see the option that that purchase
agreement could be exercised early. Tires Plus could stop it's bleeding on the option side and
everyone could move forward without any further option costs being incurred and not having
to worry about who's paying for what. So one of the pieces we would like to see changed,
and offer for your approval is that Tires Plus be allowed to purchase the property as rapidly
as possible. Certainly before that January 31st date that Applebee's has as their...assurning
that that agreement with Applebee's goes forward in that kind of a format.
(There was a tape change at this point in the discussion. The quality of the audio taping was
poor of the following discussion.)
Ron Fiscus: ...language included in there which provides the opportunity for us to go back to
those other property purchases and get them to share in that cost. Tires Plus is willing
to...basically allows Tires Plus to use the same procedures that a city might use on
assessments to be able to achieve reimbursements for those costs that occur...The declaration
of Restrictions that's attached to this talks about particular properties that those...all of the four
properties within this area.. The last piece is that the restrictions allow the city to unilaterally
amend or even delete in entirety those restrictions. We don't have any particular quarrel with
the $8.50 a square foot...$8.50 a square foot.., and would request your approval of that tonight
so that we can be in front of the Planning Commission and City Council with site plan
approval and that we can move as rapidly as possible in exercising, allow the city to exercise
the option to purchase.
Boyle: Thank you very much. Any questions of the speaker7 Okay. Thank you very much.
Todd it seems to me that there are a couple of amendments that need to be made and some
19
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
changes. With those changes it almost tells me we probably should wait until we receive an
updated or changed purchase agreement before the HRA can vote on it.
Gerhardt: I agree. Ron...prior to the meeting and...I anticipated some changes but you
know...I don't think any of them are out of line as to the language but...
Boyle: And I'm sure we would like that same fact so I would assume we will, excuse mo. I'd
like to have a motion made that we table this.
Robbins: So moved.
Mason: Second.
Boyle: All in favor?
Robbins: Discussion?
Boyle: Discussion, I'm sorry Charlie. ..
Robbins: In terms of the time. Well, of course it's been tabled. So'I'm assuming when this
comes back then, we can comment later about the paragraphs that are mentioned in the memo
as well?
Gerhardt: Well I'd like to get your comments tonight...but there are some concerns that...
Mason: It would be nice to be able to finish this up next month. Yeah, I agree. With Tires
Plus and everybody else.
Boyle: Would it be apropos that rather than take the time right here that you be approached
individually Todd or that we give you these comments individually. Would that be
appropriate...? Okay. Why don't we do that and each person can kind of, and then when this
comes up, we don't have to go back to it again but we can sit down and say hey, here's the
concerns...and move forward.
Gerhardt: That's fine with me. Having Tires Plus representatives here tonight, it's a lot easier
for me to sit here and...so it's much easier having Ron here...
Boyle: Well maybe we can make him aware of those changes before that time.
Gerhardt: You will have an opportunity to...
20
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Ron Fiscus: ...our hope tonight was that perhaps the I-IRA would feel comfortable enough
with the intent of the agreement to authorized approval of this subject W negotiation of the
final language to dotermine...as much as to hold that option open but if that isn't accessible to
you, I'm curious as to whether you feel comfortable enough with the direct/on that we're
going that perhaps some consideration could be given to allowing...start moving to the final
site approval...with the Planning Commission and City Council. Something that...before that
December 31st date...exercise that option prior to October 1st and be through that City
Council approval process...save Tires Plus an additional amount of money..
Boyle: Yes, I can appreciate that. Is that proper protocol?
Gerhardt: Well.
Boyle: Let me rephrase the question. Be more specific Todd. I will try to be more specific.
Even if we did say yes, the intent we agree with. Overall it sounds good with the changes
and we probably would approve but with 'that verbiage tonight and Tires Plus coming ill' front
of the Planning Commission, would they not say wait. until it goes through official approval
of HRA? I mean is that a possibility?
Gerhardt: It could be. The Planning Commission's going to review it based on the city codes
and the zoning requirements. They're going to go through their sot of criteria and City
Council is going to do the same. The one concern that I have is, if for some reason we do
not come to fruition with Applebees and the closing on it...memo, I'd like to got some
feedback from the HRA. If for some reason Applebee's doesn't move ahead, are you in a
position to allow Applebee's to go ahead. Or Tires Plus to go ahead. And you could have
Tires Plus up there...do you feel comfortable that you want to see that occur .... with the
restrictions that Tires Plus has on the McCarville piece and costs associated with them
holding that and...how strongly do you want to own that McCarville piece'/ So those are
some of the...
Boyle: Charlie, it looked like you had something on your mind there.
Robbins: Well you know this is, from what the person said fi'om Tires Plus and what we've
heard, again personally I think this is the first time I've seen a purchase agreement regarding a
Tires Plus operation. I mean formally this is the first time we've seen one of these and now
we're being asked to make a fairly strong commitment with them to getting closed within a
couple months. I mean that's, it might have been nice to know this in advance and having
some more information prior to this so we could make some, have some info on this.
Regarding the McCarville property in terms of their...closing costs, I guess that's their
problem. You know that's not our problem. In terms of the cost. True, I would like to see it
21
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
done and you don't want attorney costs but realistically that's something that you have gone
into yourself regarding the other property on that, so we'd like to get it done. But if we had
some more info up front...it might have been easier to make this happen now.
Gerhardt: Well and there have been times when we've presented purchase agreements and we
haven't approved them right away and there's times where we have. I got you the purchase
agreement as quickly...I think you've been aware that...
Boyle: You know I can honestly appreciate the fact that the delay is going to cost everybody,
cost you most money and that's not our intent either. The intent is to make sure that
everything goes properly. In regards to having an open street going in there so that they can
do their's before Applebee's. If we thought there was a very, very good chance that
Applebee's is going in, I guess everybody would say yeah, let's move forward. Let's not
delay this over another little small detail such as that. In regards to approving intent... We
like the intent. We like the way it's going and as far as we're concerned, going in front of
Planning and City Council, I personally would have no problem with that and I live that open
for others. I would like to see it move forward. For everybody's sake. For every party's best
interest, including our's. That's my comment. Jim.
Bohn: I don't have any problem with it either.
Boyle: Don, do you have any comments?
Chmiel: No.
Boyle: Mike?
Mason: I concur with what you said Gary. I mean this looks, even if Applebee's does fall
through, which I would hope that it does not. Something else will go there eventually and I
think this Tires Plus agreement certainly is a little easier to digest than the Applebee's was. I
agree with your comments.
Boyle: I would only hope that if that does happen, that Planning or Council doesn't table it
until such time as it comes back through. That's my only concern.
Gerhardt: ...Planning Commission but...
Boyle: Okay.
Mason: Is there a motion to table?
22
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: There was a motion to table, that is correct. And it was seconded and we had
discussion.
Gerhardt: I mean Applebee's is kind of taking, or Tires Plus is kind of taking a risk on this.
If for some reason at tho last moment you decided not to...thoy~ve gone to Planning
Commission and City Council and spent a lot of time and effort...
Boyle: And I think that's why the intent tonight was to show that we agreed to the overall
intent and it's just ironing out the details in a new purchase agreement and I think that is, as I
read it, where the HRA is at this time. So I would feel comfortable moving forward. And if
anybody has anything else to comment on that, please let Tires Plus know now. Okay.
Alright, very good. The motion was to table. It's been seconded.
Robbins moved, Mason seconded to table action on the purchase agreement with 'Hms Plus
for additional information. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
TAI~. FORMAL ACTION REGARDING Tm~ CITY COIj'NCIL~ REQUEST FOR AI.I.
HRA MEMBERS TO RESIGN.. . -
Todd Gerhardt presented the staff report on this item.
Boyle: Just one more thing Todd. You say the letter from the City Attornay that does state
the City Council's requested that the commissioners that are not City Council members submit '
their resignation, but that letter should in fact state that all Commissioners?
Gerhardt: Yes.
Boyle: If that is the case, then I think we will address each of the commissioners instead of
the three non-City Council. So as usual Charlie, we start on the le~ my left and you get
your first say.
Robbins: Well in terms of just asking me to resign, I have no reason to resign so I feel I'm
doing a good job and I prefer to stay on the HRA.
Boyle: Jim.
Bohn: I have no reason to believe I should resign either and I intend to stay on the lIRA.
Boyle: As you know Todd I submitted a letter to the City Attorney and each of the Council
members and the Mayor and in that letter I stated my reason. Believe me, if I thought it was
23
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
in the best interest of the community that the five, that only the five City Council members
become the HRA, I would have no hesitation of submitting resignation. However, and my
own feeling and talking to many members of the community since this thing broke in the
paper and elsewhere, I do not believe it is in the best interest of the community and that there
should be a City Council and an HRA consisting of 10 people making decisions instead of 5.
So with that I also am not going to submit my resignation. Your turn Don.
Chmiel: I'm up for re-election. I haven't reached that point yet.
Mason: First of all I'd like to thank Councilman Berquist for clearing some things up. I
think his position, and that may have been the original position I think in ~e milieu of that
meeting and it may have gotten lost and I appreciate you clearing that up. That has a
completely different tone I think than what I perceived was Council action. I, quite honestly I
don't feel as though I have any reason to resign from the HKA.
Boyle: Once more Steve commenting in regards to your comments and I-thank you very
much for coming up and kind of clarifying some areas. Regarding adverti.sing for a vacancy
or for whatever. If it was,.I think each person, several people commented that they wouldn't
have a problem if it was within their authority to say so but quite honestly we have no
authority on that. Even though it's the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the authority
only goes so far. So with that, I believe that it's been spoken and each member has given
their decision so as far as I'm concerned, it has been made a matter of record.
Steve Berquist: May I make one comment? I'm not certain if this is proper protocol or not
but Mark Senn thinks otherwise and insofar as majority of the Council did vote in favor of
his motion to ask the I-IRA to resign, I think I don't know if you've got any comments you'd
like to make regarding that direction or not but if he does.
Mason: I think that's kind of up for him to say it Steve, not you.
Steve Berquist: Well I thought I'd...that's why I'm stopping...
Mason: No, no. I was just going to say, he's never hesitated to speak before Steve. I don't
think he'll...
Boyle: Mark, would you like to.
Mark Senn: ...opportunity.
Boyle: If you would like to talk to this subject, you're welcome to at this time.
24
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Mark Senn: You know I guess from my perspective I haven't I guess changed my mind at
all. I still think it would be a good idea for the Council to be the HRA. The primary reason
I think that that should work over the next 2 to 3 years...we're at a very, well I'm going to say
a somewhat critical point from a financial standpoint in terms of the city. We~ve been
experiencing very rapid growth over the years. We're having a real hard time in effect
keeping up with growth. That growth is basically being funded by a taxbase which is getting
a little bit interesting demand... We have a lot of demands on what the city needs to
effectively...people in the next few years. We aren't anywhere near the resources we need to
do it. We have a park referendum coming up here that's going to be an issue of going out
and asking the voters you know, if we do a referendum here and spend $4 to $6 million in
parks and that's only one of many things coming at us. There's the City Hall expansion issue
coming in front of us. We go back to the tax hearings we just had and we had 250-275
people...their taxes we're paying, enough's enough. Our taxes are too high. I can't afford to
live here anymore. All kinds of things like that. We have our growth is basically being
funded by, purely by residential property taxes, which are being funded especially though
very high residential values that are being placed on the properties. And I don~t know. I
guess to me that's all going to come to a head here real quick I think. At least from the
feedback I get. And I think,' I've talked about this at Council, And I'm not.going to quit
talking about it. We need to sit down and decide what city priorities are for the City of
Chanhassen and what order is their priority. And if We can identify the resources to do that,
then we need to start...but I think that's an exercise we need to go through and do and given
the fact that the resources aren't there to pay for it all, it's not going to be far easily more
comfortable if there's effectively one by doing that versus two...And I can tell you from
sitting on the Council, it gets real frustrating sometimes when staff comes in and says well
that's an HRA decision. That's not a Council decision. At the same frae you're sitting there
telling yourself well, gee. Is that really what's best for the city. Now don~t get me wrong...
because you don't have to put it in that perspective. That's not your job. As HRA
commissioners your job is simply to look at it from the HRA's perspective, okay. And so I
don't want to take anything away from that but I think it's going to be very difficult over the
next few years to look at decisions and...what's best for the City from a HRA perspective.
And looking at it from an overall city's perspective and trying to balance those priorities... So
from that standpoint...I'm not going to say because we're doing it, that's the way to do it for
all times. But I think for right now I think that's the best way...and I don't think that's
something that's new. I think that's something that's been coming and it's been coming for the
last couple years. And in my mind I look at HRA projects that have been fundecC HRA
projects that have been funded and gone way over budget. Again, in terms of the decisions
you're making, there's nothing wrong with those decisions. From an HRA's.perspective but
when you look at it, or at least from my perspective look at it, my perspective how.., project
to stay within cost...Because again, it all comes back down to the voters and it all comes back
down to the residents...tax load. And we all know what your taxes are like... That's why I
25
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
think the way I do. I really don't see that changing. And that's why I'd like to see this thing
happen, that we discussed the other night...
Boyle: Thank you Mark. Appreciate it. I think there's many of the reasons, and most of us
have talked about this. Some of the reasons that you mentioned are the real reasons why
there are members currently on the commission that feel that with the grow~., with the
mount of activity that's going to take place and with the job that the City Council is going to
be faced with in the months and the years to come, you've got a pretty big job fight now and
to have another quality check and balances. Calling another means to try to make sure we're
doing the right things for the community is apparently the feeling of the majority of the
people on the commission right now. We will make every effort, and we have in the past
year, year and a half or so, to request from staff and the members that aro both City Council
and HRA, to give us their best input as to City Council's feelings on the issue before we
make a decision. Especially a major issue or expenditure. That's one of the reasons that the
people that are, or I guess one of the reasons the decision was to put Council members or
member on the HRA. One of the reasons. That's all the comments I have. I think obviously,
based upon what everybody else has said, I don't think, and please correct me if anybody here
has changed their mind, based upon the comments made by. Steve or Mark, regarding your
decision to resign or not resign. So if there's been a change, please say so. And if not, we
have to assume that whatever steps must be taken next, must be taken but the current HR~
does not feel it's in the best interest of the community to resign. Do we need it as a motion?
Mason: No. It's a matter of record.
Boyle: Any other questions or comments from anybody in the audience?
Frank Kurvers: I'm a little bit disturbed.
Boyle: Excuse me sir. If you'd step up to the podium. Name and address too please sir.
Frank Kurvers: Frank Kurvers, 7220 Kurvers Point Road. I am a little bit disturbed...and I
think we should have a financial consultant actually telling us what's really happening because
the paper has been telling us what's happening and I think there are people that deal in this
money constantly to tell us what these derivatives are and what the city's invested. I think
that's something that's hanging out there by the public and they fully don't understand it and I
don't either. Now you people are creating a monster by developing land within the city and
each time you transfer a piece of property, everybody's value goes up as... So if you think
you're doing us right and down the road 30 years it's going to be right, fine. But we really
don't know that.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: Mr. Kurvers, I would agree with what you're saying.
Frank Kurvers: I think we're all currently trying to get to the same place but I think there's a
lot of things that we probably need as a city to investigate those bind of things that when you
invest money, you should get a good return. Who was there when it was invested? Who
were the people that are...for this money? I don't know. Do you people know? It's a lot of
money. We're talking 20 million bucks I think or more. I know when I invest money, I want
to get a good return. I think the city, when they invest money they want to get a good return
but I think the citizens of this community do not understand what's really going on. That's
my only comments.
Boyle: Okay, thank you sir. I have heard this concern from other citizens of our community.
How we communicate or improve the communications to the community should be a subject
for discussion I'm sure in the near future Todd because maybe we do need a little bit more
communication. There were a lot of people that didn't even know what HR stood/'or until
recently when a few articles went in the newspaper.
Gerhardt: It's a City Council item-and I will express it to the City Council to' take Frank's
comments into consideration and see what we can do to inform the residents. _
Boyle: I think it's necessary. It's good comments.
Frank Kurvers: Could I say something else?
Boyle: Yes.
Frank Kurvers: I would really like to see an investigation of where this money is and who
was all present at the time it was invested. I think the citizens should know that. I think that
it should probably start here at the I-IRA and then go to the Council to get a committee. Get
out there. Let's find out.
Boyle: Well I-IRA could direct staff to bring this in front of the City Council, which we
would ask and direct staff please to do this in front of City Council and report back at our
next meeting. Some options that are available and investigation, if investigation is the proper
terminology. I don't know if investments many times is, you may be referring to something
else that created bond issues of which the HRA didn't have a say in. That might be
something else that's coming forward here.
27
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Gerhardt: The City Council has pretty much done an investigation on it and we've had
Deloitte and Touch come in and monitor it. We've had several meetings with investment
counsel.
Boyle: And I think there has been publicity on that, has there not?
Gerhardt: Yes.
Chmiel: All that information has been provided to the newspaper, as Frank has indicated.
Boyle: Okay, thank you. Yes sir.
Jack Dorsen: One quick one.
Boyle: Jack would you please address the.
Jack Dorsen: I'm Jack Dorsen, Longview Circle. Maybe what this needs to be done is a
mailing made to each person in the city as to what the Council found out and what Touche
and Deloitte words were, just so we all know.
Audience: And what happened to the bond rating...
Mason: You know, these aren't I-IRA issues.
Jack Dorsen: At the city you need two languages. One laymen and the other...
Boyle: It was good, thank you~ We agree with your comments and concerns and I know
there's a lot of people in the city that do. There has been some publicity recently as to
answer your question regarding the bond issue but HltA really has no say in this. It's a City
Council issue that must be addressed at the City Council.
Audience: Gary. HRA, City Council are all part of our city government. You can't keep
begging yourselves off as some kind of a, you're a part of our city government, okay. What
I'd like to propose is a town meeting with all these issues brought up where people who pay
the taxes can ask the questions and all of you that had a piece of it, or part of it, or input to
it, can respond to those. Now I'm a little confused about this bond issue thing. It's really
interesting. We've got two different companies giving us two different bond ratings. If it
slips a little bit, get another company to give us a better rating.
Chmiel: There's also something like a whipping boy but we're at that particular point...
28
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Audience: ...city government that all has input and I think a tom meeting might bring it all
together so we can all understand what you do. How you fit together. What you do for us.
Our tax dollars at work. I'd like to see how it happens.
Jack Dorsen: I think you need a white paper that goes to every resident and then follow it up
by a town meeting for discussion.
Boyle: I would strongly encourage you, and I know you're not going to like it. It sounds
like I keep passing the buck but quite honestly our statute only goes to a certain length and
yes we are passing the buck right back to the City Council because that is really their
ballgame.
Jack Dorsen: We were just there and...
Audience: And we're talking to you because who knows where this will go. And all the
council people in this room.
Boyle: Thank goodness. ' '
Steve Berquist: I've got some wonderful suggestions but I don't know that this is venue to
speak from.
Chmiel: I don't think so.
Boyle: Charlie would like to make a comment.
Robbins: This goes under, well it's blank here but it's just something I've asked for before
several times regarding the revenue stream for HRA. Money coming in. The expenses of
money going ou.t. Where is it? How does it come in? Where does it go out? In other
words, just a monthly accounting of income and expenses and a balance sheet and I think the
public would want to see that too.
Boyle: Charlie, that was provided to us at the last meeting.
Robbins: It was?
Boyle: Yes. Todd had updated that.
Robbins: Maybe that should be in the monthly packet.
29
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Gerhardt: Well the best way to provide that information is through the audit. Year end audit.
It shows exactly where your money's going. How much revenue came in. How much interest
you earned. Where the expenditures go. It's by unbiased third party.
Robbins: But we could do that monthly I assume.
Gerhardt: Sure.
Robbins: I would like to make a motion that we have that available for the next meeting.
Boyle: Would that be any different Todd than what was passed out at the last meeting7
Gerhardt: Yeah.
Boyle: This was .the year end you'd bring up right up to date is what you're saying.
Gerhardt: Well that shows you year end numbers. What monthly would be on our's,
basically just show you that my salary's coming out of your budget. You ~aid for Campbell
Knutson, the attorneys...The only things that you don't see are the annual tax receipts that we
get bi-annually. Other than that, that's it. And you approve that budget each year. It's not
that we're going over budget or under budget...
Boyle: Charlie's point is well taken, especially in light of the concerns. I mean we've heard a
lot, and I think everybody here has had some questions recently regarding what does HR
do? How much money do you really have? Is it $20 million? Is it $25? Well where's the
money going? What decisions are you making? It would help us to have a monthly update
so, if that is a motion, I would second that motion Charlie. Any discussion?
Robbins moved, Boyle seconded to direct staff to present a monthly accounting of revenue
and expenditures for the HRA. All voted in favor and the motion carded.
Boyle: Okay, that brings us to, are there any HKA presentations?
APPROVAL OF BILLS:
Boyle: I'd like to have a motion that we approve the bills that have been submitted.
Chmiel: So moved.
Mason: Second.
3O
Housing and Redevelopment Authority - August 24, 1995
Boyle: Discussion.
Robbins: Item for replat survey. Peters, Price, Samson. $2,400.00.
Gerhardt: That's the plat associated with the Tires Plus, Applebee's and the'other two lots
being created. We went to a competitive request proposals and Peters, Price dc Samson came
substantially below the other two groups that we asked. BRW was one and I forget who the
other firms were...but of those quotes, Peters Price was almost $900.00 below everybody else.
Very good bid.
Robbins: So we're doing that for the buyer?
Gerhardt: We uso our own need to, we are entering into individual purchase agreements and
with that, we have to pay for the platting of that land. How much land you're going to sell
off...
Robbins: So hypothetically, if in fact the deal goes, does not consummate with Tires Plus
and another purchaser comes in, do we have to go get another survey, we could incur the
same cost again then.
Gerhardt: Only if you decide to change the size of the lot. And it would not be, it depends
on how...and the direction I got from the I-IRA is they kind of like, I mean that's the other
thing. We dictated to Tires Plus. We dictated to Applebee's. Your site plan is going to look
like the one that we put together. This is how we would like, we want the buildings up close
to the street...so we dictated to how that site is going to look. And still you get your $8.00 a
square foot minus specials and the other things that we included. So through that plat you
created four sellable lots.
Boyle: Todd, does the $1 $3.00 for demolition of the Pony/Pryzmus building, does that
conclude our bills on that, do you believe?
Gerhardt: Yes. That was to finalize the last payment over to, all I remember is his first
name was Todd. The contractor that did the fill and the demo work and BRW's time spent in
reviewing the granulars and payment...
Boyle: I don't have any other questions.
Chmiel moved, Mason seconded to approve the HRA bills. All voted in favor and the motion
carried.

The agreement also allows Applebee's to walk away from the purchase agreement at
anytime, however, they would forfeit their $10,000 earnest money if they do not have
just cause for not closing. You should be aware of this when considering the Tires
Plus purchase agreement.
ge
Applebee's expressed concern over the costs associated with receiving a building
permit, specifically the utility service hookup (see Attachment #2). To assist in off-
setting this cost, staff has provided the option to Applebee's to enter into a private
redevelopment agreement and providing a half year's worth of taxes or an amount not
to exceed $25,000.
.
The last item is the Declaration of Restrictions which binds Applebee's to certain
permitted and non-permitted uses, architectural standards and screening (see page 16
of the purchase agreement).
If the HRA is in agreement with the terms and conditions of the attached purchase agreement,
staff would recommend approval of the purchase agreement between the HRA and Apple
American Limited Partnership of MN for the purchase price of $484,300 and allowing
$20,000 to go to Vista Companies as a commission on behalf of the buyer. ':'

Closing is scheduled for no later than December'31, 1995. In the past, we discussed
that Tires Plus could only happen if Applebee's agrees to construct their facility.
However, the two purchase agr~.'"'ements have Tires Plus closing before Applebee's and
Applebee's still having the option to walk away fr6.".m closing on their site until January
31, 1996. The reason for.closing earlier on Tires Plus is that they are incurring
additional costs by holding the Don McCarville property and their purchase agreement
with Mr. McCarville' terminates 'on December 31, 1995.
The HRA pays for 'the prorated-taxes at the 'time of Closing and assume all special
assessments, i/:~ .. " . .... - -"'' ' '. .... ".: .... · .':.' .'. -'-: ' '- -.. .:-.~.
