November visits include <br />Sherburne County Citizen, Becker Fireplace and Natrogas. Martin and Dick will <br />participate for sure and Hal will try to attend as well. <br /> <br />The Monticello Home and Landscape Show was discussed. It was decided that it may not <br />be an appropriate function of the EDA, but if another city department wanted to attend, it <br />would be fine. <br /> <br />Motion by Dick to not have the EDA participate in the Monticello Home and <br />Landscape Show, sec. by Martin and carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Discussion was held on the updated EDA Guidelines. One change to the wording was <br />suggested. In the first paragraph, the word will is changed to may. <br /> <br />Motion by Ken to recommend approval of the updated EDA Guidelines, with the one <br />change as noted, sec. by Dick and carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Changes to the Industrial Park Covenants were discussed. It was explained that due to re- <br />platting of the Becker Furnittire World property, new boundary lines were established. <br />This change in the boundary lines created the opportunity to make other terminology <br />corrections. Bob Walter, the City Attorney made the necessary changes and submitted the <br />corrected version of the Covenants for review and approval. <br /> <br />Motion by Martin to recommend approval of the revised Industrial Park Covenants, <br />sec. by Pat and carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Discussion was held on the Business Subsidy Policy. Revisions to the Business Subsidy <br />Law was made by the Minnesota Legislature in the 2000 Legislative Session and all <br />communities that have Business Subsidy Policies in place need to update them to include <br />the new changes. Dave explained that the State was going to send the new changes out <br />for incorporation into our policy, but he has not received them at this time. <br />No action was taken. <br /> <br /> <br />
