MEMBER / STAFF UPDATE <br />5.01: Update: Shovel Ready Reports Completed <br />Econ. Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama indicated WSB & Associates was retained <br />by the City to complete/prepare/obtain various documents related to the future development of <br />various city -owned properties.

This information, as a whole, is often times referred to <br />as "shovel -ready" pre -development information. This information is very useful for a developer <br />considering the purchase and development of land. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated the State of Minnesota has a <br />program known as "Minnesota Shovel Ready Sites" which certifies this work, and plugs said <br />certification into the State of Minnesota's marketing pipeline. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama notes WSB & Associates has <br />completed all work necessary to apply to the State Shovel Ready Program, including pre -filling <br />applications. <br />Mr. Jim Cromberg and Eric Moss, WSB, were at the meeting to answer questions. <br />Mr. Cromberg stated this took a lot longer than it should have but the good thing that came out of <br />it was the City now knows what they have. He stated they now have good title work and surveys <br />which will make it easier to sell the land. He noted the rules will be changing for certification. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if the City wants to certify their small sites before the rules change. <br />Economic Development Authority/April 13, 2017 <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />
