Mr. Martin indicated that their lending rate is lower than market rate a bit and these are term loan that are collateralized and can go out longer terms to assist the business owner.

Mr. Martin indicated that the lending capacity is 10 to one and the businesses can borrow up to ten times what the City loans the program. Mayor Capra asked if this would be a one-time contribution or an annual contribution.

NEW BUSINESS 1. Church of St. Genevieve Site Plan Review – P & Z Recommendation for Approval City Administrator Larson indicated that Park and Recreation had reviewed this development and made a recommendation to request an easement from the Church in the northwest and southeast corner of the property to allow connection to trails and City property. He then explained that Staff met with Mr. Wilharber to explain the request and was told by Mr. Wilharber that he did not think the Church would have an issue with the request. Mr. Wilharber indicated that he and City Staff met to discuss the request and then the Church Council met and agreed to provide the easements provided that the City pays for all costs associated with them. He then explained that a civil issue has come up with the survey and the adjoining property owner and the Church has agreed to give the 13 feet six inches in dispute to the property owner at 1680 Heritage with the restriction that if there Page 3 of 8 is a continuation of Goiffan the Church would like to line it up and the Church feels those conditions can be worked out with Mr. Highland. Mr. Wilharber indicated that the Church has requested that the City install stop signs on the trail at the SW corner at the driveway so that traffic does not cross the driveway without stopping as a safety measure. Mayor Capra asked Staff to note the stop sign requirement. Mr. Wilharber indicated that the legal documentation would not be totally taken care of until the Church clarifies title for the easement but the Church is in agreement with the easements. Mayor Capra indicated that she and Council Member Lakso are parishioners and asked if that is a conflict of interest with voting.

Downtown Redevelopment Planning - Update No discussion. 4. CSAH 14/Main Street Project No discussion. 5. Summary of Water Board Meeting Mayor Capra gave an overview of the meeting at which the Water Board gave residents options to purchase square footage of property that is shoreline of which some is under water and many residents were not pleased. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Anoka County Parks generated this process because in redoing County 14 through the park they were going to lose some property by expanding the right of way and they had used federal funds to purchase the property in the park so when you lose property you have to replace it so they approached the Water Board and said the County would like to buy fee title to the property along the lake for replacement property. Mayor Capra indicated that Mr. Tschida would like the shoreline ordinance forwarded to him. Mayor Capra indicated there was a ground breaking ceremony for the Centennial Lakes Police Department that was well attended and it was a nice success story. Mayor Capra indicated she received a letter from the State Auditor of accommodation. Council Member Paar asked for information on the creek in Parkview and whether that work was finished. Mr. Peterson indicated that it was looked at it but they cannot get any equipment in there so they dug a trench by hand so there will be water sitting in that ditch for a while. He then said that he does not think that anything more can be done back there. Council Member Paar indicated that originally Sandy and Joe came to him and then the resident that is north of him said his yard used to be dry and it is wet now and he complained to Mr. Hanzal who sold to him and never had water until this came through. He then asked whether anything will be done to correct this in the winter because they think that the creek used to drain but now it is backing up because it cannot drain. Page 7 of 8 Mr. Peterson indicated that the County needs to do some work to help the whole thing drain down to the lake and Staff has called them to come out and that would help. Mr. Peterson indicated that the area is very flat with minimal grade and it is good that the ditch is holding water and not the yards but it usually does not flow very well. Council Member Lee indicated his concern is if they did not have water before but now the City did work and they have water problems that seems unfair to make them fix it. Mr. Peterson indicated that the City did no work in their yards at all. City Attorney Hoeft clarified that it would need to be determined whether the work done has had any impact on these yards. Council Member Paar asked engineering Staff to keep on top of Anoka County to get them to finish their part of the work to see if that will help. Council Member Lakso asked Staff to put Mr. Martin on the EDC agenda for discussion. X.
