his company which was used to determine that
Albany was the
best fit for their company and noted construction will begin in the
spring of 2008.
Pursuant to due
notice, at 7:05 PM, Mayor
Dennis Sand
called the following three public hearing into session, as they all
relate to the Wells Concrete Project: 1) proposed business subsidy
hearing; 2) property tax abatement hearing; and 3) hearing on the
application for funds from the Minnesota Department of Employment
and Economic Development on behalf of Wells Concrete Products.
Ms. Ryan noted that the estimated cost for land, building,
machinery, equipment, and infrastructure is estimated to be
$17,798,200 which includes upgrading County Road #41, County Road
#156, Freedom Lane, and Inspiration Lane to a 10-ton capacity,
extension of Inspiration Lane to the east with utilities and trunk
water/sewer mains to the south for future growth.
Ms. Ryan noted that the
project would create a minimum of 55 new jobs paying not less than
$12.50/hour plus benefits of $5-$6.00/hour in addition to a large
capital investment in the construction of multiple buildings, land,
and equipment for this expansion and that 40 JOBZ acres were
provided to the City from the City of Perham. Ms. Ryan noted the
business subsidy assistance to Wells Concrete Projects is proposed
to include:
1.
Up to a $500,000
Minnesota Investment Fund Loan (MIF) – Federal Funds – which shall
be a grant to the City and a loan to the business to purchase
machinery and equipment. (3% interest 10 year term)
2.
Up to $500,000 of
Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) – State Funds – which shall be a
loan to the City to fund infrastructure improvements (3% interest 10
year term)
3.
Up to $500,000 of
Business Development Public Infrastructure (BDPI)Grant – which shall
be a grant to the City to fund infrastructure improvements
4.
JOBZ Benefits
5.
Local Tax Abatement
for up to 15 years
6.
Local Development
Corporation Loan
Ms. Ryan also noted that the said
Company will participant in the State’s JOBZ program and Tax
Abatement for the City’s share of property tax generated from the
proposed improvements for a period of 15 years; whereby in no event
shall the combination of JOBZ and Tax Abatement assistance exceed a
total of twenty (20) years. Ms. Ryan informed the Commission that
the County Assessor estimates the market value to be $7.6 million
based on the review of a Production, Finishing, Batch, and Storage
buildings. Ms. Ryan noted that if JOBZ benefits are extended by the
Legislature, the number of years for the City’s tax abatement would
be reduced accordingly. Chairman Dennis Sand, with the consensus of
the Council and upon the recommendation of the EDA Board, informed
Ms. Ryan that the abatement only relates to the initial improvements
constructed. Ms. Ryan informed the Commission that the project
satisfies the City’s Business Subsidy and JOBZ criteria and noted
that if the company fails to meet the requirements which will be
outlined in a Business Subsidy Agreement, all or a portion of the
assistance shall be repaid. Ms. Ryan noted that representatives
from Wells Concrete have informed the City that there may be two
other businesses that will locate on the eastern portion of the
80-acre site and if Block 5, Lot 3 (Albany Business and Industrial
Park) consisting of 12-acres is ever subdivided, then Inspiration
Lane will need to be extended to the east. Ms. Ryan noted that the
Council can decide whether or not to include the Inspiration Lane
extension in the application to see if the bids received are
favorable, but no confirmation has been received by the City that
any additional businesses will relocate to Albany. Ms. Ryan
indicated that the State application required opportunities for
community participation and discussion of a community needs
assessment. At the public meeting of the EDA, it was reported that
there have been several opportunities for public input through the
recently updated Comprehensive Plan, the implementation of a Small
Cities Grant program award and numerous public meetings that have
dealt with growth issues in the community. The City has been active
and supportive of housing needs through the development of
affordable and moderate income housing subdivisions, promoting the
First Time Home Buyers Program, support of nursing home and assisted
living development and expansion and the rehabilitation of low
income housing units. The EDA and City indicated that there is
still a need for commercial rehabilitation in the central business
district to stabilize the building stock. The EDA and City also
believed that continuing to promote business/industrial development
was important to stabilizing and improving the economy and would
benefit education and health care facilities in the community.

Councilor John Greer,
Planning Commission Liaison, informed the Council that the Planning
Commission at their December 18th meeting pursuant to a duly held
public hearing recommended to
the Council that the request by Russ and Cindy
Scherping, 1550 Railroad Avenue, for a Conditional Use Permit to
conduct a new business in an M2 Industrial Zone called “Snap
Fitness” within the Albany Manufacturing building on property owned
by Joseph Peternell be approved. Mr. Greer noted that the said
business will be open 24/7 and that special plastic coded cards will
be given to members to gain access during hours not staffed by
employees. Mr. Stueve noted that the Police and Fire Departments
would like the Council to require property owners for all new
commercial and industrial buildings to purchase and install a Knox
Box which is a rapid entry system for emergency personnel; whereby a
single master key is stored inside reducing response time, property
damage, and the liability for lost keys. Mr. Schneider also noted
that in the M2 Zone under conditional use, the proposed use is not
expressly permitted or prohibited, but will lead to economic
advantage and employment. After due discussion and upon the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, a motion was made by
John Greer and seconded by Tom Kasner to approve the aforementioned
conditional use permit request subject to the owner purchasing a
Knox Box. All voted for the motion and it carried.
Mr. Greer informed the Council that
the Planning Commission term of Joseph Wedel will expire at the end
of the year and recommended as per the Planning Commission Board
that he be reappointed for an additional five-year term. After due
discussion, a motion was made by John Greer and seconded by Jack
Evens that Joseph Wedel be reappointed to a five-year term on the
Planning Commission. All voted for the motion and it carried.
Mr. Greer also informed the Council
that the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed sale of City
owned property at 1030 6th Street formally Municipal Well
No. 2, which since has been abandoned due to high arsenic levels
which exceeded the Federal Drinking Water Standards. Mr. Greer
noted that the property is zoned single family residential (R2) and
all homes adjacent or nearby are all single family residential.
Mr. Greer also noted that the Planning Commission is opposed to the
idea to develop this property for a neighborhood Park having the
North Park and Highlands Park in close proximity. Mr. also noted
that a potential buyer could construct one large home or two homes
on each lot which allows the property to be very marketable. Mr.
Schneider noted that the assessments on the property for the 6th
Street Improvements are approximately $14,500 and if two separate
lots are considered, then an assessment of $7,250 for each lot, but
the purchase price would include the assessments. After due
discussion, a motion was made by John Greer and seconded by James
Beuning to advertise for sale the aforesaid property and to direct
the City Clerk/Administrator to determine what the marketable sale
price may be for the purpose of selling one large lot or as two
separate lots. All voted for the motion and it carried.
Mr. Schneider informed the Council
that the Economic Development Authority (EDA) term of Mayor Dennis
Sand will expire at the end of the year and recommended as per the
EDA Board that he be reappointed for an additional five-year term.
After due discussion, a motion was made by John Greer and seconded
by Jack Evens that Mayor Dennis Sand be reappointed to a five-year
term on the City’s EDA. All voted for the motion and it carried.
Mayor Dennis Sand, also
informed the Council that the EDA at their December 17th meeting
recommended to the Council
that the Mayor and City Clerk/Administrator be authorized to enter
into a loan agreement and other related documents drafted by the
City Attorney in the same manner as previous loans to provide a low
interest loan ($200,000 @ 3% interest amortized 15 years with a 5
year balloon) to Wells Concrete Products for their proposed
expansion in the Albany Business and Industrial Park. Mr. Sand
noted that Albany Area Industries, a local Development Corporation,
will provide the funds to the EDA and the EDA will loan the money
with final maturity including principal and interest paid in full no
later than February 1, 2013. Mr. Sand also noted that loan payments
received from Wells Concrete Products will be reimbursed annually to
Albany Area Industries. After due discussion, a motion was made by
Mayor Dennis Sand and seconded by Tom Kasner to authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk/Administrator on behalf of the EDA to enter into the
loan agreement and related documents between the EDA and Wells
Concrete Products. All voted for the motion and it carried.
Mr. Mohs informed the Council that
authorization should be considered by the Council to require his
engineering firm to prepare a feasibility study and preparation of
plans and specifications for upgrading Freedom Lane and Inspiration
Lane to a 10-ton road capacity and the installation of the extension
trunk water and sewer mains in the Albany Business and Industrial
Park. Mayor Dennis Sand noted that the City more than likely will
receive favorable bids due to the slow economy and that receiving
bids in February is appropriate for 2008 construction. Mr. Greer
noted that a cul-de-sac should be considered at both ends of
Inspiration Lane to allow adequate turn around for snow plows and to
keep motorists from turning around on property owned by Wells
Concrete Products. After due discussion, a motion was made by John
Greer and seconded by Tom Kasner to authorize Bonestroo, Inc., the
City Engineering Firm, St. Cloud, MN, to prepare a feasibility study
and the preparation of plans and specifications to upgrade Freedom
Lane and Inspiration Lane to a 10-ton road capacity and the
installation of the extension trunk water and sewer mains to the
southern boundaries of the Albany Business and Industrial Park. All
voted for the motion and it carried.
The Council took notice of the
proposed 2008 Appendix “A”, Albany Schedule of Fees and Charges.
Mr. Schneider noted that the water and sewer hook up fees and trunk
water and trunk sewer charges per acre are proposed to increase four
(4) percent which has been done annually by the Council the past few
years. Mr. Schneider also noted that the Fire Department
recommended that a Knox Box be added to Appendix A, a secured box
for master key storage, be purchased by the property owner and
attached to all new commercial, industrial, and multi-family
buildings. After due discussion, a motion was made by John Greer
and seconded by Jack Evens to approve Appendix “A”, Albany Schedule
of Fees and Charges for the year 2008 with the aforesaid additions.
All voted for the motion and it carried.
Mr. Schneider
presented to the Council the proposed 2008 Budget and the amount of
property taxes the City proposes to collect to pay for the costs of
services the City will provide in the year 2008. After due
discussion, a motion was made by James Beuning who introduced the
following Resolution and moved its adoption.
