Commissioner Nathan made a motion to approve the August financial statements as presented. Commissioner Magnan seconded the motion. All commissioners were in favor of the motion and none were opposed. The motion was approved. 5. OLD BUSINESS: a. Approve Resolution No , Approving a Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1: Bergman explained that the Crow Wing County HRA is required by State Statute to create a Redevelopment Plan when an HRA determines that a redevelopment should be undertaken prior to the acquisition of the property. They submitted the Redevelopment Plan to the City of Brainerd and it was reviewed by the Planning Commission on August 17 th, 2016, with positive comments from each commissioner. The City Council also held a Public Hearing on September 6 th and passed a resolution supporting the Redevelopment Plan. The CWC HRA Board is also required to pass a resolution to approve and adopt the Redevelopment Plan, which authorizes staff and consultants to move forward with the project. Commissioner Goble made a motion to adopt Resolution No , approving a Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1. Commissioner Magnan seconded the motion. During a roll call vote, all commissioners voted in favor of the motion and none were opposed. The motion was passed. b. Hold a Public Hearing for the Sale of Land to Paxmar-Brainerd LLC: According to Minnesota Statutes Subdivision 2, an HRA may sell land without public bidding but only after a public hearing by the Authority, which must be published between 10 and 30 days prior to the hearing. A notice was published in the Brainerd Dispatch on September 2 nd. p. 3

4 Chair Kneeland opened the Public Hearing at 5:38 p.m. The CWC HRA intends to sell 113 lots in three subdivisions (Brainerd Oaks, Serene Pines and Dal Mar Estates) to Paxmar-Brainerd LLC (Paxmar) for the construction of new owner-occupied, singlefamily homes. Paxmar will purchase a minimum of 10 lots per year with a ratio of two homes built in Brainerd Oaks to one built in either Serene Pines or Dal Mar Estates. Paxmar will maintain $1.5 million in construction at all times. These subdivisions will be built out between three and nine years. Chair Kneeland invited the public to comment and nobody came forward to speak. Chair Kneeland closed the Public Hearing at 5:40 p.m. c. Approve Resolution No , Approving a Master and Redevelopment Contract between the CWC HRA and Paxmar-Brainerd, LLC: To fi nalize the contract, the CWC HRA Board will need to pass Resolution No approving the Master and Redevelopment Contract. Bergman sent a fourth draft of the Master and Redevelopment Contract between the CWC HRA and Paxmar to the Board prior to the meeting but brought a fi fth and fi nal draft to the meeting. She provided copies to the Board and pointed out the few minor changes. Bergman reported to the Board that Crow Wing County is in the process of preparing applications to be submitted to the State to have the lots conveyed to them. She explained that if the Contract is approved by the CWC HRA, the County will only submit applications for those lots that will be purchased by Paxmar. The County will then convey those lots to the CWC HRA and they, in turn, will convey them to Paxmar. This will minimize the risk for the CWC HRA as well as for the County. Erickson reported that the State will convey plats or chunks of lots at a time and the HRA will get a quick claim deed. The turn-around time to convey the properties is expected to be approximately six to eight weeks. She explained that the County would like the build-out schedule in advance so they can have the applications ready, which will help the process go faster. Mr. Roessler was in attendance at the Board meeting to answer any questions. The Board discussed covenants and design standards with him. Commissioner Goble made a motion to approve Resolution No , approving a Master and Redevelopment Contract between the CWC HRA and Paxmar-Brainerd, LLC. Commissioner Nathan seconded the motion. All commissioners voted in favor of the motion during a roll call vote and none were opposed. The motion passed. 6. NEW BUSINESS: Nothing to report. p. 4

5 7. REPORTS: a. Executive Director: Bergman reported on the following: Veterans/Service Member Project The Veterans/Service Member project is being revived and the group has decided to focus primarily on the Terra Vista site (110 acres on North Long Lake) and those concept plans. They plan to meet with developers, but the group needs to gather more information on water and sewer beforehand. HKGi is working with WSN to provide information on options and the costs associated, which they anticipate having done by the end of September. Bergman expects they will begin meeting with developers in October. BLACF Riverfront Grant The Brainerd Riverfront Committee (BRC) continues to meet monthly. At their August meeting, SEH presented examples of riverfronts across the country, updated maps and a list of property owners along the river. The BRC decided that their fi rst project will be an elevated trail on the Mississippi River from College Drive to Washington Street. SEH will be preparing cost estimates for the construction and maintenance of the trail. The BRC also discussed presenting this information to the City Council sometime after the fi rst of year. Bergman also added that they have formed a subcommittee to prepare a business plan. b. Brainerd HRA: The Brainerd HRA requested their levy, which is outside of the City s levy. c. BLAEDC: Haverkamp reported that the Progress Edition was published over Labor Day weekend and noted that BLAEDC played a role in the success of several of the businesses. She also shared that they are looking to hire an individual to provide talent recruitment services to Brainerd Lakes Area businesses. She will keep the Board posted as to how the search goes. d. CWC: Erickson reported that the County is gearing up for preliminary levies, which will be held in September. She also shared that the transportation sales tax funding is on track and producing what they expected. The County is preparing for the November elections. 8.

19 5 ATTACHMENT To: CWC HRA Board Members From: Jennifer Bergman, Executive Director Date: November 8, 2016 Re: Adopt Resolution No Approving the First Amendment to the Master Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement Paxmar-Brainerd, LLC, had lined up two builders to start construction on homes at Brainerd Oaks. Both builders told Paxmar if they were not able to start construction by October 15 th, they would not move forward with construction this fall. The deed from the State arrived on October 11 th and all of the lots are conveyed directly to the CWC HRA. It took the County about a week to get all of the 113 lots recorded and the deed was sent to the title company on October 18 th. Paxmar was able to get one of the builders to extend their deadline to October 20 th. However, there were some issues with the title. First, there is a US Bank mortgage on the Brainerd Oaks property that should have been satisfi ed but wasn t. Kennedy & Graven is working on getting that satisfaction. Secondly, there was an issue at Serene Pines on the notifi cation process for tax forfeiture and the County is working on providing that information to the title company. Because of the delay, the builder decided to wait until spring for construction. The First Amendment extends the purchase of at least 10 lots by Paxmar until no later than April 1, 2017 (see Attachment 5a). In addition, we are asking to amend the way the funds are disbursed from the title company. Originally, the title company would issue two checks: 1) To the City of Brainerd for SAC, WAC and Park Dedication Fees and 2) The balance to the CWC HRA. We, in turn, would deduct our direct costs and send the balance to the City of Brainerd. We are asking instead that the title company issue three checks: 1) To the City of Brainerd for SAC, WAC and Park Dedication Fees, 2) To the CWC HRA for our direct costs; and, 3) The balance to the City of Brainerd. Action Requested: Authorize Resolution No approving the First Amendment to a Master Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the CWC HRA and Paxmar-Brainerd. p. 19
