Brooklyn Avenues Youth Shelter – Staff wanted to thank the Elks Lodge for moving ahead with the construction of a shed that will help with storage at the youth shelter. This was something that was approved as part of the planning process but they didn’t have the funding at the time to pursue the addition to the facility. 
Staff is winding down Hennepin County Stable Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) funds. These are funds that have been available to the city for a number of years. The table highlights the way those funds have been used in the community since 2012. The original amount of the grant from Hennepin County was $4 million. There have been a lot of investments in the community that was able to move forward because of the funding from Hennepin County. 4.1A DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 4 DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 3 
Staff has been having ongoing conversations with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) as well as some adjacent communities and Hennepin County about workforce development strategies. The EDA has brought up in the past and has initiated the first effort to fund that work with the BrookLynk Program that the Alliance for Youth administers and the EDA has contributed funding towards. That the group is looking at other policy recommendations related to workforce development at the local level. 
We do have new logo t‐shirts and tote bags available for sale at the city hall front counter. Mugs will be coming soon as another option for purchasing new branded merchandise. 
Staff continues to see interest from new businesses talking about existing facilities along TH610 and also proposals for new construction. We anticipate making some announcements in the coming months about new businesses. Commissioner Trepanier asked how we are preparing our residents around workforce development. Ms. Berggren responded that this is becoming more of a topic at the local level. Staff is hearing what other cities are doing. They are also looking at the BrookLynk model as an example of cities jointly taking action around helping the community being prepared for jobs and finding ways to connect youth and youth that are coming of the workforce age, get connected with local business opportunities. 7.2 Foreclosure Recovery Update – Emily Carr highlighted the following: 
Six homes are being rehabilitated and remodeled through the program. 
One home is under contract by a new buyer and will close in the beginning of January. 
Included in your packets is also an update on the Brooklyn Park housing market. The median sales price has reached $212,000 in November which is a 14% increase from last year. In comparison the median sales price in the region was $239,000, which was an 8.6% increase from 2014. This is good news for our housing market here. 4.1A DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 5 DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 4 7.3 Metro Blue Line (Bottineau LRT) Update – Emily Carr reported: 
What is mostly highlighted in your update this month is a summary of the light rail outreach. Over 3,000 residents have been engaged and informed with the Met Council and Hennepin County resources that have gone towards outreach and engagement so far in 2015. About 1,500 residents have been engaged in the station area planning process. This number includes the community meetings that have been held, the week‐
long design workshop that was held in September with the consultants, on street outreach activities and also the work of the Hennepin County Health Equity and Engagement Cohort. 
The Met Council has their own outreach staff and they have informed over approximately 1,800 Brooklyn Park residents through their work. That includes the large public meetings, especially the ones last winter on West Broadway, smaller community meetings and they also did quite a few one‐on‐one meetings with property owners and business owners along the line. 
There are some analytics from the city’s LRT website. The website has been viewed over 5,000 times this year and you can note the spike in viewings around the large community meetings in June and September. 
The Municipal Consent process has started. Minnesota state law requires Municipal Consent, which means that local governments must review and approve the preliminary engineering plans for the light rail. These plans can be viewed on line at the Met Council’s website at www.bluelineext.org. Staff has also printed copies available at city hall and a printed copy at the Brooklyn Park Library. The Municipal Consent process allows for public input either at public hearings or through written comments. There are two upcoming public hearings. One is for the Met Council and Hennepin County that they are holding jointly on January 19th at the Minneapolis Central Library. There will be an open house at 5:00 pm and a public hearing at 6:00 pm. The Brooklyn Park public hearing will be January 25th here at city hall. There will be an open house at 6:00 pm and the public hearing at 7:00 pm. 
Also included in the packet as well as on our website are the locations where residents and stakeholders can submit written comment, if they are unable to make it to the public hearings. 
More information is available on our website: www.brooklynpark.org\lightrail. 4.1A DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 6 DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 5 Commissioner Jordan asked if there has been any progress since we last spoke on fencing and right turns lanes. Kim Berggren responded that we have not seen any responses from the Met Council or Hennepin County on those two topics. Last Monday night when the city council discussed right turn lanes we did talk about modified designs so we will continue to have those conversations on what that would look like. As it relates to fencing, that is by the project office’s timeline something that would be discussed later in the process. However we do understand it is a concern of the council and that staff is looking for a way to integrate that conversation into the discussions that are happening right now. President Lunde also expressed concern about fencing and pedestrian safety. Ms. Berggren stated it is her understanding that we are still trying to get clarity from the County and BPO on how the road design impacts the other decision making that is happening over the next few months and at what point of time does the design get approved and set in stone. There are still some questions about the process so she will get more clarity on that and share that with the council at the January work session. Commissioner Crema is concerned about the south side of 85th Avenue North and West Broadway the pedestrian crossing, at the south side of the station. They are going to have two access points to cross the street and that is something he would like to have brought back up again. To him it seems dangerous with right turn lanes or without right turn lanes but crossing 100 feet south of the intersection really creates a dangerous situation and he would like to see that issue discussed with the County. 7.4 Legislative Initiatives Update – Kim Berggren reported that commissioners’ have seen this document in the past. There have been just a few edits to make it relevant to 2016. This is a document that staff uses when they are out having policy conversations with our policy partners, committees and regional groups. There are seven sections to the policy document. She highlighted: 
The workforce development section is new that ties into some of the comments we heard tonight about a new emphasis on thinking how to connect folks that live here with the jobs that are here and build up skill sets that connect them to good paying jobs. 
We also have added language about fair housing. That is something the city is taking a stance on wanting to see proactive fair housing work in the region.  4.1A DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 7 DECEMBER 21, 2015 MEETING MINUTES Page 6 
Another edit was the funding for the interchange project that is planned for 169 and 101st or Oak Grove Parkway. Commissioner Jordan reported that when you govern you sometimes make comprises and you don’t always get what you ask for. This is one of those cases. He is not a fan of #6 as far as the Met Council being in the place of combating discrimination. The Met Council has no role as far as he is concerned in that entire area. While he will support the document, he would like it on the record that he does not see the Met Council’s role as having that authority. President Lunde stated that he doesn’t have a specific example where we know that money is allocated to Minneapolis or St. Paul to take care of the issues of poverty but when it comes to suburbs, the rest of us compete for money and yet we have urban problems but we don’t get access to urban money. He has been told that money is not dedicated or directed towards certain things. When you add specific conditions on a grant that only one nonprofit in the state can meet, they do direct money. He would like to know how we can have that conversation. We all have challenges but yet when it comes to money only certain places get a lot of money. The rest of us scrounge. IV. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 8:39 p.m. Respectfully Submitted EDA Secretary Theresa Freund City of Brooklyn Park Request for EDA Action Agenda Item No: 4.2 Meeting Date: January 19, 2016 Agenda Section: Consent Prepared By: Theresa Freund, EDA Secretary Resolution: N/A No. of Attachments: Item: 0 Presented By: Theresa Freund, EDA Secretary Consider Designating US Bank as the Official EDA Depository Executive Director’s Proposed Action: MOTION __________, SECOND __________ DESIGNATING US BANK AS THE OFFICIAL EDA DEPOSITORY. Overview: Minnesota Statute 118A.02 states the governing body of each government entity shall designate, as a depository of its funds, one or more financial institutions and the governing body may authorize the treasurer or chief financial officer to: 
Designate depositories of the funds; 
Make investments of funds under sections 118A.01 to 118A.06 or other applicable law; or 
Both designate depositories and make investments as provided in this subdivision. US Bank has been the official depository for both the City and EDA since 2004. On January 4, 2016 the City Council designated US Bank as the official depository for the City of Brooklyn Park for 2016. This action designates US Bank as the official EDA depository. Primary Issues/Alternatives to Consider: N/A Budgetary/Fiscal Issues: N/A Attachments: None City of Brooklyn Park Request for EDA Action Agenda Item No: 4.3 Meeting Date: January 19, 2016 Agenda Section: Consent Prepared By: Alisha Gray, Business Development Coordinator Resolution: N/A No. of Attachments: Item: Alisha Gray, Business 3 Presented By: Development Coordinator Notice of Administrative Action to Issue Tax‐Increment Financing Pay‐as‐you‐go (PAYG) Note to Wurth Adams Nut & Bolt Company Executive Director’s Proposed Action MOTION __________, SECOND __________ TO ACCEPT NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION TO ISSUE TAX‐
INCREMENT FINANCING PAY‐AS‐YOU‐GO NOTE TO WURTH ADAMS NUT & BOLT COMPANY. Overview: On June 16, 2014, the Economic Development Authority authorized a Contract for Private Development (Contract) with United Properties Investment, LLC (Developer) for development of the property at the southeast quadrant of highways 169 and 610. The proposed project anticipated a headquarters building for Wurth Adams, two speculative buildings for manufacturing and medical/technology tenants and an office or hotel project along Highway 610. The Contract provides financial assistance through pay‐as‐you‐go (PAYG) tax‐increment financing to offset the extraordinary costs associated with relocating the NuStar gas pipeline that bisected the property. The location of the pipeline limited the development potential of the site. The Contract allowed for the Developer to assign the rights to the (PAYG) TIF note to the end user of the facility, Wurth Adams Nut and Bolt (Wurth Adams). The Developer assigned the right to Wurth Adams in October 2015. Per the development contract, the EDA will reimburse Wurth Adams up to $400,000 for costs the Developer incurred related to relocating the NuStar pipeline. The Developer incurred total Qualified Costs of $668,623. The total investment on the Wurth Adams site was $13,971,280. Additional investments were made on the two speculative sites that are now home to Perbix Machining and Nilfisk. In total, the project resulted in over $40 million in total investment and will result in the creation of 550 jobs. Under the terms of the contract the Authority shall issue and deliver the Tax Increment Financing Note upon the Developer delivering written evidence that they have incurred Qualified Costs in an amount at least equal to the principal amount of the Note. The Developer has submitted the evidence of the Qualified Costs necessary for staff to execute the Tax Increment Financing Note. Recommendation: The Executive Director of the Economic Development Authority recommends approval. 4.3 Page 2 Attachments: 4.3A TAX‐INCREMENT FINANCING NOTE 4.3B LOCATION MAP 4.3C SITE PLAN 4.3A TAX-INCREMENT FINANCING NOTE Page 3

City of Brooklyn Park Request for EDA Action Agenda Item No: Agenda Section: Resolution: No. of Attachments: Item: 5.1 Meeting Date: January 19, 2016 Erik Hansen, Economic Development & Housing Public Hearing Prepared By: Director Erik Hansen, Economic X Development & Housing Presented By: Director 1 Public Hearing Approving Contract for Private Development Between the Brooklyn Park Economic Development Authority and Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Executive Director’s Proposed Action: MOTION __________, SECOND __________ TO WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION #2016‐ APPROVING CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN THE BROOKLYN PARK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND MILLENNIUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Overview: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the company), a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceuticals International Co. (Takeda), purchased the 215,000 square foot production facility at 9450 Winnetka Ave. N. in December 2015. The company plans to invest about $70 million into the facility in addition to the land sale price to prepare the facility to produce two United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved pharmaceuticals. The company reports that the FDA process to certify the facility will take two‐to‐three years. The company requested financial assistance from the Brooklyn Park Economic Development Authority (EDA) to offset extraordinary costs expected during the FDA certification process. The proposed financial assistance is the reimbursement of property tax appreciation for 2017 and 2018 from available EDA‐levy funds. Takeda is the largest Japanese pharmaceutical company and has facilities throughout the world. The Brooklyn Park facility will be the company’s United States manufacturing headquarters. The company will produce Entyvio, a gastroenterology drug, and Adcetris, an oncology drug. The company will create or retain approximately 190 full‐time‐equivalent positions at the facility. The company reports that annual compensation for employees at this facility will range between $90,000 and $220,000‐per‐year. The FDA process to certify the facility will take until 2019. During this time the company plans to rehabilitate the facility, purchase new equipment, and calibrate and validate the production process. The company will have added expenses during this time. To offset the costs it has asked the EDA to “freeze” property taxes for 2017 and 2018 until the facility begins generating revenue in 2019. Staff estimates that the potential difference in property taxes from those paid in 2016 and those paid in 2017 and 2018 ranges from $70,000 to $200,000 total. Staff worked with the Assessing department and the EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers, to develop these figures. Staff proposes that the EDA reimburse the company using available EDA‐levy funds. 5.1 Page 2 Primary Issues/Alternatives to Consider: 
What are the financing options available to the EDA? Jason Aarsvold at Ehlers and Jenny Boulton at Kennedy & Graven assisted staff in identifying a preferred method to accommodate the company’ request. The preferred approach is to reimburse Takeda using available EDA funds for taxes paid over a set “freeze” level. The base projection is approximately $35,000‐per‐
year for 2017 and 2018. A likely top‐end projection is around $90,000‐per‐year for 2017 and 2018. Other approaches such as tax‐abatement would be unduly complicated and would require other taxing jurisdictions to opt‐in. 
What are the public benefits to the community? The request for EDA‐funded financial assistance is reasonable compared to the projected public benefits the City will receive. The projected costs to freeze property taxes range from $72,000 to $180,000 for tax‐payable 2017 and 2018 respectively. This amount equates to $360‐to‐$900‐per‐job (40 retained and 150 created) for high‐quality job (salaries between $90,000 and $220,000). The project activates a facility that the EDA as previously supported, establishes another manufacturing facility and headquarters in Brooklyn Park, and will be the state’s only larger scale bio‐pharma manufacturing facility. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) also committed financial support to this project and Governor Dayton recently met with company leaders to welcome them to Minnesota. 
What are the terms of the commitment? The attached Draft Term Sheet outlines the main terms of the commitment. In summary, Takeda will be reimbursed for property taxes in 2017 and 2018. It commits to rehabilitating the facility and submitting approval documents to the FDA for certification prior to the release of the certificate of completion. It commits to creating or retaining 190 jobs at wage levels consistent with its Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) application (at least $31‐per‐hour). The company will pay all EDA out‐of‐pocket costs associated with the project. 
What are the next steps? Staff is preparing a report for City Council approval to submit an application to the State of Minnesota’s MIF program.

Overview: Star Exhibits (Star), a Brooklyn Park‐based point‐of‐sale merchandising and tradeshow fixture manufacturer, plans to expand within the city in a newly‐constructed building at the corner of 93rd and Hampshire avenues. Star requested Brooklyn Park Economic Development Authority (EDA) assistance to apply to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) for funding through the Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) program. The proposed MIF funds will assist in retaining 78 jobs and adding an additional 11 jobs in Brooklyn Park. The proposed resolution authorizes the EDA to make application to the MIF program. MIF provides dollars to local units of governments who then provide low interest or forgivable loans to help businesses add new workers and retain high‐quality jobs with a focus on industrial, manufacturing and technology‐related industries. In this application, DEED’s preliminary approval indicates the award will be structured as a forgivable loan. The proposed project is the construction of a 200,800 square foot building dedicated to the design, manufacturing and implementation of strategic tradeshow, retail, corporate interiors and live event marketing solutions. The facility will contain office and administrative space for sales, management, design and human resources. A portion of the space will be dedicated to the fabrication of these exhibits and contain carpentry equipment, CNC machinery, painting equipment, etc. Additionally, the facility will contain warehouse space with pallet racking for storage of client exhibits and displays. Ryan Companies will construct the facility for Star’s use and continue to own the new facility long term. Ryan Companies has submitted a planning application for the project in early January and site work is anticipated to begin this year. 5.2 Page 2 Primary Issues/Alternatives to Consider:  How much money is being requested from DEED? The application requests up to $1,000,000.  What will the funds be used for? The loan funds will be used by Star to purchase equipment within the new facility. Total project investment will include site work, construction and tenant improvements totaling approximately $18,637,098. Machinery and equipment investment is estimated at another $1,500,000.  How many jobs will be created? Star is committing to establish at least 11 new jobs within two years of beginning operations at its new facility. These jobs are in addition to the 78 workers currently employed at its existing facility. Of those 11 new jobs, the lowest hourly wage paid will be $20.16. The average wage is anticipated to be $27.80, plus benefits with an hourly value of $4.74. Budgetary/Fiscal Issues: The administration of this action will use budgeted staff time. Recommendation: The Executive Director of the Economic Development Authority recommends approval.

n. 7.1 Page 3 Workforce Development Angelica Klebsch met with Community Development staff at the City of Oakdale to discuss its “Oakdale First” policy. The policy requires that a business that receives financial assistance from the City and intends to add new jobs must use the Washington County Workforce Center Services. The business must give hiring priority to qualified Oakdale residents first, followed by qualified Washington County residents, before hiring from another city or county. Specific usage of the workforce center is also included in the policy, which was followed by Hy‐Vee during their Oakdale location hiring process. Staff will be examining the policy closely in consideration of local needs. Branding Angelica Klebsch met with the Code Enforcement & Public Health Division to begin the next phase of internal branding implementation. After a short presentation on the principles of branding and our own initiative, staff spent time discussing how the brand stems from the work staff do every day, and how understanding the brand can guide ongoing work as well. These department and division discussions on branding will be taking place city‐wide through February. Other The first Shingle Creek Aeration Art Project Committee Meeting took place on January 7. In 2015, the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission (SCWMC) received a federal grant to install artistic aeration systems at three locations in Shingle Creek to help improve dissolved oxygen conditions.

The Met Council will be asking the Brooklyn Park City Council to
sign off on the LRT project on February 22 as part of a process
called “municipal consent,” which Minnesota law requires from
all communities affected by the proposed LRT project.
Municipal consent includes you!
You are invited to open houses where you can view current design
plans and ask questions. You are also invited to public hearings
where you can give formal comments that will be entered into the
public record. Municipal consent design plans include:
• LRT track alignment within the approved route
