Industrial Park Improvements City Administrator Patrick Klaers introduced Mr. Dick Gongoll of the First National Bank of Elk River, representing t4e Elk River Investors Association. City Administrator Klaers indicated that since the May 5, 1986 City Council meeting, he has met with the City Attorney and City Engineer regarding the Industrial Park improvement and the August 1985 Feasibility Study. City Administrator Klaers indicated that of $651,500 total cost of improvements, approximately $192,900 could be paid using MSA funds, leaving approximately $450,00 to be financed through other means. Mr. Klaers further indicated that a large portion of the remaining $450,000 includes site work and grading. Mr. Klaers questioned the City Council whether or not funds generated from the water tower and shopping center tax increment financing district could possibly be used to finance the remaining part of the Industrial Park improvements. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he was in favor of the City supporting the Industrial Park project but he felt that the tax increment financing funds would not be that significant, perhaps $200,000 at best. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that even with $200,000 in TIF money, approximately $200,000 - $250,000 would still be needed. Discussion was carried on among members of the City Council, Dick Gongoll and the City Administrator regarding the extent of grading and site work necessary. Also the possibility of postponing some optional work as a cost-saving measure was discussed, such as: a) extension of utilities to the area west of the Industrial Park, b) stubbing in some, but not all areas proposed, and c) final site work and grading. Dick Gongoll indicated that some of the expensive grading and site work could not be cut out, such as going under the railroad tracks. Councilmember Engstrom questioned whether or not the City was in danger of losing MSA funds if they did not use some of them this year.
