1.
Executive Director Statz explained that the Excipio study has begun on the Rehbein property on
Fairview Avenue, and felt that the site would be very competitive in the market. He said that he
recently took a tour of a data center in Chaska and got a general feel for some of the costs that
would be expected, along with property values and the overall operation.
Atlas Villas has cleared trees from their lot and recently received their SAC determination from
Met Council. The permit is now ready to be issued.
The downtown street reconstruction is paved and was in the process of being back-filled when a
snowstorm came through on October 20, 2020.
Old Mill Estates still plans on paving the base course during the week of October 25-31, 2020.
Executive Director Statz stated that he has received a lot of calls from developers that would like
to build on the vacant land in the city. He attended an in-person land development summit at the
Radisson Blue at the Mall of America that was sponsored by Anoka County and the Minnesota
Real Estate Journal. He received inquiries about senior housing developments and a couple of
inquiries regarding a possible grocery store.
City Hall is nearing completion on construction in the office area. When it is finished, staff will
move back into the office and then construction will begin on the Council Chambers.

apartment building, and a possible memory-care facility. He also stated that a developer wanted to
build a truck wash and facility to store truck trailers.
2. Year to Date Financials
Executive Director Statz explained that the money in the EDA account was spent with the
expenditures that were just approved. The City Council released the remaining funds in the annual
budget to cover expenditures that have been laid out.
3. Ongoing Programs
a. Blue Logo Sign Program
Executive Director Statz stated that he had been
Bar and Grill. Ms. Byrne had learned that in order to put her logo on the blue highway sign, she
lowed to use a drawing of a beer mug. She had
also been told that she had to purchase the logo sign that is placed on the blue sign. Mr. Statz stated
that the sign was a one-time purchase of approximately $1,000.00, and he felt that since the EDA
had committed to paying 75%, they should extend it to the sign as well.
Commissioner Love asked if the money could come from CARES Act money. Executive Director
Statz stated that it depended on whether or not the council woul
but was certainly an eligible expense.
Executive Director Statz stated that he had reached out to CenterMart, Corner Express and Wise
Guys to ask them to fill out their applications for the Blue Logo Sign Program before November
15, 2020, so that it could be paid for under the CARES Act, but he was not sure their paperwork
would be completed before the deadline.
b. CenterStage
Executive Director Statz introduced a flier promoting the programs offered by the EDA; the
CenterStage Program, the Highway Blue Sign program and loan and grant programs. . He stated
that developers call weekly to ask about available property, fees and incentives and he wanted
something he could give them. He asked for input from the commission. Discussion took place
regarding the flier, and it was decided to modify the document to reflect the fact that the Blue Sign
Program was limited to gas stations and restaurants.
c. Business Assistance Grant Program (CARES Act Funds)
Executive Director Statz stated that Anoka County had five million dollars to use for grants and
the initial grant was $10,000. They only received 273 applications and decided to give $20,000 to
those that qualified. Centerville had a good participation rate compared to other nearby cities, and
12 of our businesses had applied.

1.
Executive Director Statz summarized that the applicant submitted an invoice that appeared to show
costs for a driveway to the south of the building that was not a grant eligible expense. Mr. Statz
asked for a new invoice that showed the itemized costs, and reported that there was a discrepancy
between the old invoice and the new one. Mr. Statz asked for a copy of a canceled check to prove
that the applicant paid his contractor the amount on the invoice, and is now asking the EDA
Commission if they want to award the grant, even though the concrete was only colored and not
stamped as promised. There was discussion on adding language to the grant application stating
that any changes to the work applied for must be approved.
Discussion took place with the general consensus being that the property was improved, but the
applicant did not make all the upgrades that were
want to make it difficult for businesses to use the grant program,
precedence by awarding grants for work that was not done as promised.
There was also discussion regarding a high corner on the property and there was general concern
that it was a safety issue and needed to be repaired. The amount of money to award the applicant
was considered.
Motion by President Hanzal, seconded by Commissioner Weatherhead, to release payment
of the full grant amount of $5000.00, contingent upon the high corner safety issue being
addressed, reviewed and approved by city staff and the applicant showing canceled checks
for the work that was performed. A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion carried.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
1. Business Coaching Program
Executive Director Statz stated that he had been approached by an individual at the Chamber of
Commerce regarding providing business coaching for businesses in the city. Mr. Statz asked him
to assemble packages to offer to Centerville businesses. Mr. Statz asked for input from the
commission regarding offering a potential 50% cost share, and a budget of approximately $2000-
$3,000 annually.
Discussion was had regarding the Open to Business program which is free of charge. Executive
Director Statz stated that he felt Open to Business was project and capital based, where business
coaching focused more on businesses that wanted to reinvent themselves. The general consensus
t generated a lot of interest, and the commission members would
like to send an email to the businesses on the email list asking if there is any interest in such a
program before dedicating money to it.

the EDA Board.

the tax implications of our budget and levy.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Centerville Elementary School
Centennial School District is in the early stages of planning an addition to Centerville
Elementary. The addition would add classroom space to add one section to each grade.
Architects working with the district are looking to fill in some of the courtyard space on the
west side of the building and extend the building footprint to the north a bit, necessitating a
move of the current playground equipment. With this configuration, the design will look to
incorporate natural light into the classrooms that would otherwise have views to the courtyard.
The expansion would not require any new work on the parking lot.
The expansion will require a re-route of some city owned sanitary sewer lines. The re-route is being
being reviewed by city staff. Any costs
associated with this will be borne by the school district.
Apartment Complex Concept Plan
The Planning and Zoning Commission was presented with a concept plan for a 3-story, 96-
thst
unit apartment complex sited on commercially zoned land between 20 and 21 Avenues,
north of Main Street. The project would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
Rezoning. If the developer chooses to pursue these land use requests, a public hearing
would be scheduled to receive community input on the proposal.

Figure SA-3: Metro Area Overview
Demographics
The city currently has an estimated 3,900 full-time residents all within Anoka county. The
following additional statistics were available from areavibes.com. Centerville has attracted more
affluent households than average, which has resulted in a 26% higher cost for housing than other
areas of the state.

Talent
Being only thirty minutes from the heart of Minneapolis/St Paul, Centerville has access to a
bountiful market of seasoned IT and engineering talent. From design, build, commissioning, and
deployment, both local and regional talent is available. Recent trends allow more workers to
operate remotely away from the corporate headquarters, allowing many workers to relocate from
the City to suburban markets. This should increase the talent pool for the foreseeable future.
Telecommunications Network
The site already has three providers willing to come into the site (Comcast, Zayo, and Arvig). All
have similar cost models of $1,600-$2,000 per month per 10GB MWave-enabled circuit. All
providers can easily ramp up to 100GB and can expand beyond 100GB.
Renewable Energy
Centerville does not currently have a renewable energy plan, primarily due to the current size and
scale of the community. However, city leaders would invite the opportunity to collaborate towards
this goal. The City has every intention of creating and implementing a renewable energy strategy
when the timing and economics are favorable. It can offer 100% renewable energy credits.
Site Risk Assessment
Centerville has several weather-related attributes to make the sight attractive. Minnesota is no
earthquake risk, is a low risk for moderate to severe tornados, and is a low/moderate risk for lightning.
The cooler climate will also provide a minimum of 5,000 hours per year of free cooling. This means that
when the outside temperature is under 60 degrees, the mechanical chillers will not be required to cool the
data center. This configuration will provide a significant decrease in energy costs.

The primary risk for the location is flooding. The proposed parcel has a small Zone AE in the northwest
corner and is adjacent to a Zone AE parcel. However, the risk can be easily mitigated by with minimal
ground prep and/or a drainage ditch to separate the properties.

Economic Analysis
This section contains an economic business case for a prospective provider to purchase and build on the
proposed parcel.
Assumptions
The following assumptions were used in deriving a sample economic costs to acquire, develop, and
operate a data center on the proposed parcel. The actual design will be up to the purchaser. The design
intended to demonstrate the cost-effective economics of building in Centerville, MN.
Data center design: Tier III, concurrently maintainable facility
The buyer purchases the entire 20-acre parcel.
Modular construction with pre-cast tilt-up panels allows the buyer to scale the facility as the
business grows, thus reducing the initial construction investment risk.
Two financial models: 5kW per rack and 10kW per rack
MEP design: 2N electrical and mechanical.
Utility construction costs: Excipio assumed a rate of $150 per kW.
Cost per kWh: $.08
Cooling design: Air-cooled chiller with free cooling, conservatively producing a PUE of 1.4
Telecommunications: The cost of the network connections is heavily dependent on the
bandwidth and the technologies desired by the owner; thus, the telecom costs are not
included in the cost estimates
Initial Design: One of four potential buildings for the site
City Fees: Fees are detailed out in the Appen
included as part of the General Contractor fees

Financial Estimates
5kW Model
This model uses an average designed kW per rack of 5kW but still maintains all of the attributes
in the Assumptions section on the previous page. The detailed calculations for each of the
summary charts below are included in the Appendix of this Document.
Figure EA-3: 5kW Model
Observations
o The chart lays out the CapEx and OpEx costs for constructing the facility at 1.6 MW (1
data hall), 7 MW (4 data halls), and 17 MW (10 data halls).
o The design includes space for server build rooms and shared collaboration and
conference rooms for each data hall.
o The average build cost per rack is well under the market at $1,008 per rack, which allows
the buyer to achieve an ROI of 49% on the initial investment, including all annual OpEx
costs.
o The projected construction costs of this model are $14.91K per kW.

10kW Model
This model uses an average designed kW per rack of 10kW but still maintains all of the attributes
in the Assumptions section on the previous page.
Figure EA-4: 10kW Model
Observations
o The chart lays out the CapEx and OpEx costs for constructing the facility at 3.4 MW (1
data hall), 13 MW (4 data halls), and 33 MW (10 data halls).
o The design includes space for server build rooms and shared collaboration and
conference rooms for each data hall.
o The average build cost per rack is well under the market at $1,822 per rack, which allows
the buyer to achieve an ROI of 48% on the initial investment, including all annual OpEx
costs.
o The projected construction costs of this model are $27.6K per kW; note the construction
cost nearly doubles when increasing from 5kW to 10 kW per rack.

Alternative Construction
The data center economics were modeled after more common design methods. However, newer
construction methods are being used to drive down the cost of these expensive facilities. One of the
largest opportunities for savings leverages the use of external containers to house MEP equipment. Even
if the code does not currently allow for MEP construction, the City is open to the idea of alternate
construction methods. As not all equipment is ideal for this type of environment, the equipment most
commonly suited for containers are:
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and batteries
Main Distribution Panels (MDP)
Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
HVAC cooling systems
Systems typically not targeted for a container include generators. Most of the generators come in a
sound-attenuated enclosure similar to or larger than the typical container.
Pros for Modular MEP Construction
The standardized construction typically reduces the construction cost of the facility by 10% for the
following reasons:
The work is all completed in a factory, avoiding weather delays.
The standardized construction eliminates the human error associated with onsite
construction.
The large factories typically get better pricing on components and raw materials than a
regional construction firm.
Cons for Modular MEP Construction
The following is a list of concerns that would need to be addressed with all parties and code
officials:
Reduces the footprint of the build, as much of the MEP infrastructure is now located outside
the building.
Aesthetically, additional costs may be required to secure and hide the containers from
surrounding properties.

Utility Construction Costs
Any greenfield construction project has multiple options for utility power. The local utility company can
provide dedicated power to the site or construct an onsite substation. However, the cost models are very
different between the two options. While many variations exist, a standard set of variables was assumed
in both cases to make the illustration clear.
Assumptions
The utility voltage provided is all 480V
The size of the transformer is 1,500kVA, at the cost of $37.5K each
Due to the range in outcomes of the two models below, an average cost of $150/kW was
used in the project economics
Utility Provided Power
Using this model, the utility company will provide all the necessary equipment and services to
construct, trench the lines, and land power at the site. This option has a lower cost of entry but
does not scale as efficiently as an onsite substation. As shown in the chart below, the cost climbs
quickly

Onsite Substation
Under this model, approximately half an acre would need to be set aside to construct the
substation. This model has a much higher upfront cost due to the substation's initial $1.5M
construction. However, this model is much more cost-effective over the long term.
