PUBLIC HEARINGS 8. DISCUSSION ITEMS a) Annual Organizational Items Election of Officers Chair Simmons nominated Mayor Hoyt for Chair. Mayor Hoyt stated the City Council will be setting priorities for the EDA so he would rather see someone else as Chair to avoid an unobjective bias. Member Kaufman agreed with Mayor Hoyt. Having leadership in both could cause some consternation. It should be someone with a business association to the city. Member Butterfield asked if Councilmember Bernhjelm has expressed an interest in being chair. Member Carpentier stated we would still have a conflict of interest. Chair Simmons noted boards are a working extension of the City Council and she doesn't see a conflict of interest. Chair Simmons nominated Member Butterfield for Chair. Member Hudlemeyer agreed. Member Butterfield accepted the nomination and he looks forward to working with City Council and staff to set the agenda each month. However,the EDA Minutes(Regular) February 25,2021 Page 2 EDA has had a discussion over three years to align with the City Council. He does not believe there is a conflict with the Mayor or a Councilmember to Chair the EDA. Member Hoyt stated this is a great opportunity for others to step out of their comfort zone to Chair the EDA. It is the definition of servitude leadership. Mayor Hoyt nominated Councilmember Bernhjelm for Vice-Chair. MOTION by Simmons, second by Hudlemeyer to nominate Member Butterfield as Chair, Councilmember Bernhjelm as Vice-Chair and Executive Director Adam Kienberger as Secretary/Treasurer. APIF,MOTION CARRIED.

APIF,MOTION CARRIED. Community Development Director Kienberger reviewed the open meeting law. All business must be conducted in front of the public. Do not email and reply all to EDA members. Mayor Hoyt added when at an event, don't be in a group of four. He recommended leaving the event, even though there is no business conducted; it is what is perceived by the public that matters. b) City Council Update/Member Roundtable Mayor Hoyt gave an update on City Council activities. The City Council has discussed streamlining their time together and being more efficient, so starting in March City Council work sessions will be held prior to the first City Council meeting of the month at 5 p.m. and then go into the Council meeting at 7 p.m. If more time is needed for the work session,that will continue after the Council meeting. The Fire Department's ladder truck is being worked on and will be ready in March. The city hired two new Administrative Support Specialists. Steve Arndt is serving as interim Municipal Services Director. City Council extended the lease with Allina for the use of Fire Station 2 for ALF Ambulance storage. We approved the preliminary plat for Whispering Fields on Flagstaff Avenue. Sapphire Lake 31 Addition was approved. All appointments have been made to boards and commissions. Chair Butterfield asked if there are plans to rezone properties. Staff replied we don't get rezoning applications. Monday's work session will be with the City Council and Planning Commission. They will discuss updating the zoning map to align with the Comprehensive Plan. There are some zoning changes. Chair EDA Minutes(Regular) February 25,2021 Page 3 Butterfield asked staff to add an overview of the zoning changes to the Director's Report at the March EDA meeting. Mayor Hoyt continued with City Council activities noting the city received a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association. At the last work session, Council discussed changes in solid waste. There are a lot of state unfunded mandates. We will have weekly recycling by the end of the year. The Daisy Knoll water tower is off line half of the year and needs to come down. There will be a new water tower at 195th Street and Highway 3. Vita Attiva, a 55+development, is being proposed north of the Vermillion River and south of the industrial park. It has 115 units. It will be discussed at Monday's work session. City Council priorities will be reviewed on Monday. The priorities are business growth, community engagement and infrastructure support. Member Carpentier asked what are the requirements to have a second water tower. Mayor Hoyt responded demand and public safety. It will be larger than the current tower at the municipal center. Member Kaufman asked if because of more people working from home will that draw more water needs? Mayor Hoyt noted we don't have final data for 2020 yet, but so far there has not been a significant increase. Chair Butterfield stated at the last meeting we talked about Council goals. It sounds like Council goals aren't ready to pass on to boards and commissions. Mayor Hoyt explained the goals are finalized and are on Monday's agenda to approve. Staff added the Council will ratify their goals on Monday and then meet with the EDA on goals and then the EDA can prioritize what they want to do. Mayor Hoyt stated a lot of the goals are an extension of work the EDA has in place. Member Simmons supported having a joint meeting with the City Council. She asked Council to think about strategic planning with the boards. She thought we would come to this meeting to discuss goals and now we have to wait until March. It feels like we are losing time. She asked if the EDA strategic plan should be two years instead of three years? We do have a strategic plan now that we could be making progress on. Mayor Hoyt stated the last two years on City Council things have progressed, but not efficiently. There have been too many independent bodies and not one large collaboration. We need to fund the EDA so you are able to do things. The Business Retention and Expansion program is in place and the EDA owns it. In 2021 we will have direct touchpoints with every business by the City Council and staff. We will make sure boards have actionable items to pursue. Chair Butterfield stated we had a three-year strategic plan of what we will do and all fall within business growth. More defined goals and direction from the City Council will help. We have to streamline our work. We spent eight months defining BR&E. Mayor Hoyt stated in the last five years there has been a lot of planning, but no funding. Not having measurable growth from EDA Minutes(Regular) February 25,2021 Page 4 plans is not good. We can't have growth without systems and plans with measurable items. Chair Butterfield stated the last three years of the EDA was spent developing tools. A lengthy discussion of community needs and funding continued. 9. DIRECTOR'S REPORT a) February Director's Report Dakota County CDA has offered round four of small business grants and Farmington participated in that. The new EDA composition was approved and we have two new members, Tony Kaufman and Rob Carpentier. Staff has received an offer for private development on the Riste lot,which is owned by the city. Staff will bring the contract to the EDA in March. The CDA renewed a one-year contract with MCCD for the Open to Business program. The CDA foreclosure report and information on Stay Safe MN was provided. Staff reviewed a list of active development projects. The programs and policy decisions the EDA makes impact these projects. The Community Development Annual Report will be presented at the March 16 City Council meeting. A growth surge is coming. The next EDA meeting is March 25, 2021. 10.

MCCD Executive Director, Elena Gaarder, OTB Manager, Tyler Hilsabeck, and Business Advisor Natalie Mouilso briefed the board on the program's activity in our region and some recent successes. With that renewal the CDA is requesting each city execute the attached joint powers agreement(JPA). This agreement outlines the partnership we have established to provide Open to Business Services via MCCD to Farmington clients. Farmington's share of the contract for 2021 will be$4,500—this is included in our budgeted program expenses.A cost breakdown by community is listed on page eight of the attached contract between MCCD and the Dakota County CDA.The CDA pays for just over 50% ($65,500)of the entire$125,000 contract while the cities split the remaining amount proportionally. This program continues to be a substantial asset to the Farmington business and entrepreneurial community.

At the same time I met on site with the city planner,building official,and Pam Heikkla, the property's owner. The purpose of my investigation was to j examine the exterior masonry and recommend an appropriate treatment for the deteriorated brickwork. After the initial site visit,I conferred with my associate Christian Hendrie, an experienced historic architect, who provided his professional opinion on the best practices relating to preservation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of historic brick masonry walls. Several other colleagues in the historic preservation field provided helpful comments on the best practices for rehabilitating old buildings with walls made of Chaska in-ick. No attempt was made to conduct any in-depth structural system analysis or materials testing. I did not consider it necessary to retain the services of a structural engineer. Observations My inspection of the subject property focused on the condition of the exterior wall surfaces that were visible on the north and east elevations,which the owner has proposed to cover with stucco. The vertical brick wall on the north side of the building was completely visible, however the lower portion of the rear wall was covered by the one- story building(311 Oak Street), which abuts the east side of the historic structure, The brick walls are original and the masonry is typical of late-nineteenth century commercial construction. The brick itself is readily identifiable as "Chaska brick" (the generic term applied to soft mud bricks produced in the Chaska area between 1857 and 1950) and Page i of 4 i represents one of the building's distinguishing arcbitechual features. All of the building's exterior walls are load-bearing walls and appear to be structurally sound. I did not observe any visible signs of movement, settling, or deflection that would indicate structural system failure. Paint problems were observed on all of the historic back surfaces. At some point in time, all of the exposed masonry was coated with multiple layers of paint. At the present time these surfaces display abundant evidence of paint failure in the form of blistering, cracking,flaking,and peeling;in a few places the paint has nearly disintegrated,exposing bare brick. The rate of paint deterioration appears to have accelerated in recent years and detracts from the property's architectural character. More importantly, the unsightly painted surfaces indicate that liquid water and water vapor have penetrated the wall, causing deterioration of the underlying bricks and mortar. The Fletcher Building exhibits masonry problems typical of Chaska brick walls exposed to weathering. Chaska brick, owing to the nature of the clay and the details of its manufacture,is considered a soft mud brick and is therefore more porous and susceptible to moisture damage than other types of brick commonly found in historic buildings. During my inspection visit I observed scattered evidence of spalling, chipping, and cracking,which I interpreted as having been caused by wind, rain, and freezing-drawing cycles. Most of the damage was minor, except for the detachment of a few of the bricks in the parapet walls. This is a common problem with old brick parapet walls and is usually caused by the failure of the mortar joints rather than any inherent structural problem with the wall. In this case, the masonry deterioration in the parapet walls may have been exacerbated by improper roof drainage (water running off the roof and splashing against the inner surfaces of the walls),or by moisture entering the tops of the walls through cracks in the coping. The major problem with the brickwork is deterioration of the mortar joints, which is undoubtedly the result of deferred maintenance. Much of the old mortar has eroded and there are areas where the mortar has broken up,crumbled,and dissolved. The conditions were particularly noticeable on the east and north elevations, where some of the joints have been reduced to sandy, granular rubble, allowing moisture to penetrate the comers and edges of the adjacent bricks. Moisture damage has caused some bricks to crack or spall, exposing the interiors of individual bricks to weathering. Where the mortar joints have failed,moisture has been drawn into the wall through capillaty action,damaging the porous bricks.As noted above,the problem is worse hi the parapet walls,where freezing water and wind forces have forced the mortar joints apart,breaking the bond and causing some of the bricks to shift. No other critical preservation issues were identified. Paint and mortar problems notwithstanding, the load-bearing wall system appeared to be functioning properly and there were no indications of imminent ati actural failure. Overall, the historic building was in a good state of preservation at the time of my visit. Findings and Recommendations Page 2 of A ! ! 1 1 I in my professional opinion, the brick walls are a distinguishing design feature and contribute significantly to the Fletcher Building's historical and architectural values. Every reasonable effort should be made to rehabilitate the property by repairing the damaged paint, bricks and mortar, and by correcting drainage problems at the roof and foundation. Deteriorated bricks and mortar should be repaired rather than replaced; where replacement is necessary,the new material should match the old. Coating historic brick walls with stucco is not an appropriate preservation treatment. My recommendations for rehabilitating the exterior walls are as follows: 1. Clean the exterior spalls. The first step in the rehabilitation process should be to -remove as much of the peeling paint, grime, and stains as possible. Clearing brick masomy surfaces should be carried out using the gentlest means possible. The preferred method is hand-scrubbing with natural bristle brushes,followed by low-pressure water spaying. The brick sur&ces should be allowed to dry completely before any additional work is done. 2. Repoint (tuckpolnt) the deterloraterl mortar foists.All of the accessible mortar � joints should be carefully inspected and replaced only where the mortar is deteriorated or missing, Use hand tools (hammers, chisels, rakes) to remove the deteriorated mortar, even In the hands of"experts," the using electric saws and grinders can damage soft brick. The new mortar should duplicate the original material in composition,color,and hardness. It must not contain Portland cement (this can seriously damage the old brick) and the new joints should be tooled to 1 match the historic Joint profile. The best practice for matching historic mortar is to have a sample of the old mortar analyzed by a professional lab. If done properly,the repointed mortar Joints should last upwards of 50 years. 3. Repairlreplace damaged or missing bricks. The goal is to stabilize the exterior walls and protect the historic building from deterioration by reestablishing a weather resistant enclosure (while maintaining its essential historic character). Cracked or broken bricks may be repaired with soft lime mortar. Missing and badly deteriorated bricks, on the other hand, should be replaced in-kind, or with new bricks that match the old (both physically and visually). If salvaged Chaska brick is not available, the Secretary of the Interior's standards require that replacement bricks match the old in size,color,shape,and texture, d. Remove the old paint. Paint removal should be done in the gentlest manner possible and removal down to the bare brick may not be feasible. Total paint removal flbm soft brick masonry can usually be accomplished only with the application of a chemical paint remover which would dissolve the paint so that it could be .rinsed using a low pressure water wash. None of the commercially available paint removers are without problems; therefore, special care should be taken to avoid using a chemical paint remover that could damage the outer protective skin of the brick, making it more porous (and more susceptible to f Page 3 of 4 I moisture damage). If a chemical paint remover is used, a test application should I be done on a small section of brickwork(approximately 2 by 2 feet) to determine the effect on the brick. Low pressure water washing (200 psi) using a mild biodegradable detergent, soft bristle brushes and hand scraper is probably the safest, most effective method of removing all of the old paint that is cracked, flaked, or powdered, Sandblasting should never be used to remove paint from Chaska brick. S. Repaint the exterior walls, As a general rule of thumb, historic preservation professionals prefer that historic brick-faced buildings which have been painted I should remain painted. It goes without saying that paint removal should be done in the gentlest manner possible in order to avoid damaging the skin of the bricks. Historically, buildings with Chaska brick walls were sometimes whitewashed or coated with milk paint, which provided a breathable (as well as environmentally ! safe) coating. Oil or latex paints tend to trap moisture inside the brick,leading to deterioration of the masonry. In this case, the appropriate treatment would be to repaint the exterior surfaces with a high quality, vapor permeable paint, preferably in a color that would complement the natural `bream" color of the Chaska brick. Products advertised as "water-proof' or "water-resistant" would likely make the moisture problem worse and could cause unrecoverable damage. b. Conduct routine inspection and maintenance of the building exterior. Because water(either in liquid or vaporous form) is the most deadly enemy of any brick wall, routine inspection and regular maintenance should be an essential part of any historic building rehabilitation strategy. Proper roof and site drainage should be the highest priority,followed by repainting and repainting the walls as needed.

Per our site visit on March 12, 2021,we have prepared a proposal for your consideration.The west elevation,partial north elevation and partial east elevation appear to be original construction and are the areas Included In this proposal. The south elevation partial eastelevation and partial north elevation appear to be part of an addition at some time after original construction. The partial west elevation Is composed of face brick with raked mortar joints.The majority of the brick and mortar joints are in good to fair condition.Previous spot pointing was observed at numerous areas as well as brick repair at the window jambs where new windows were installed. The bottom 12-18" are in poor condition as the moisture from snow and rain combined with the salts have deteriorated the mortar joints in these areas.Deterioration of the mortar joints was also observed at numerous areas near the parapet as well as areas where previous signage existed.We are proposing to remove all"light colored"mortar where previous repairs occurred to match the existing mortar and re-point the deteriorated mortar joints near grade,at the parapet and where previous signage was removed.An allowance of fifty brick is included. The partial north and east elevations are composed of sand lime brick, a porous brick commonly used at the time of the original construction.These areas have been painted at least one occasion and numerous areas of paint are failing Pockets of deteriorated mortar joints and damaged brick were observed. We are proposing two options for repair at the partial north and east elevations;one option to remove the existing paint,re-point all mortar joints, replace all damaged brick and re-coat the repaired areas.Option 2 would re-point the worst areas only, replace the worst damaged brick, scrape all loose paint and re-coat over the existing paint. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss our proposal.Please feel free to contact us anytime with any questions or concerns. Thank you for the opportunity and we hope to work on this project with you.

The deepest impacts of the pandemic are felt by Minnesotans who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color(BIPOC). Based on 12-month moving averages, the unemployment rate for Black Minnesotans was 9.5% in January, up from 9.0% in December and up from 4.9% one year ago.The Latinx unemployment rate was 7.3% in January,the same as December and up from 4.9%one year ago. White Minnesotans were at 5.8%in January, 5.6% in December and 3.0% a year ago. Starting this month, our data has reverted to a 12-month moving average rather than the 6-month moving averages previously used.This means the higher months of unemployment rates from earlier in the pandemic are included in the averages. In January, Minnesota gained 51,800 jobs,that is up 1.9%, on a seasonally adjusted basis, replacing all but 1,000 of the jobs lost in December(revised).January estimates are from the same week that bars and restaurants were able to again seat customers indoors, starting January 11.The private sector gained 48,900 jobs in January, up 2.1%, more than making up for the 47,100 lost in December. Government gained 2,900 jobs, up 0.7%. "The recovery of over 51,000 jobs in January is a promising sign for Minnesota," said DEED Commissioner Steve Grove. "We have a lot of work ahead to grow our economy, and as this report shows,we must focus on those hit hardest by the pandemic—people of color, people with disabilities, lower wage workers, and small businesses." Of the 416,300 jobs lost from February through April 2020, the state has gained back 191,400 jobs. Minnesotans can connect with DEED to learn about how we can help them find career and training opportunities at www.CareerForceMN.com/GoodJobsNow. 2 Every March, we also release the revised employment numbers for the past several years. These revisions always result in shifts for some months of data for both the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate. Anytime data has been revised from previous reports,you will see that marked by(revised). The revisions show the loss of 10,000 jobs more than initially reported during the pandemic. The revisions happen because of new population controls, new seasonal adjustment factors, and more comprehensive employment counts becoming available. The labor force participation rate fell from 68.4% in December(revised)to 67.9% in January. Nationally, the labor force participation rate dropped one tenth of one percentage point to 61.4%.

EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT mn.gov/deed Questions?Contact Us 6 Adam Kienberger From: DEED Communications <MNDEED@public.govdelivery.com> Sent: Friday, March 5, 2021 3:12 PM To: Adam Kienberger Subject: Announcing a new effort at DEED to help Minnesotans find Good Jobs Now DEED Development ." SEE WHY MINNESOTA IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE,WORK AND DBUSINESS O MIEMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Announcing a new effort at DEED to help Minnesotans find Good Jobs Now -By Commissioner Steve Grove Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic,we've lost almost 390,000 jobs in Minnesota. While we're on the path to gaining many of them back, we still have over 300,000 Minnesotans collecting weekly unemployment benefits—more the six times the average amount for this time of year. Yet so many employers are hiring, and there's lots of opportunity in our economy if workers are willing to pursue careers in new fields. That's why today we launched a new effort to help Minnesotans across the state find Good Jobs Now.The effort is focused on helping unemployed Minnesotans consider jobs in new fields. As I wrote about earlier this week in MinnPost, we know that to maximize our economic recovery we need to help workers find careers that require additional skills, have a strong future, and offer better pay. Helping us kick off this campaign today are a great group of leaders from higher education, businesses, health care, workforce development, labor unions, and technology leaders. We held an important conversation focused on the needs businesses have for workers, and how we might all work together to help i Minnesotans whose jobs have been impacted and are ready to look for new and equitable career opportunities. t, } i 7t 7 ...P Why good iobs now? Because there's more opportunities in Minnesota's economy than people might think—for anyone who's looking for a new career.That could mean entering a new industry right away, it could mean looking into more education or training, or it could mean finding out more about the job market. We are here to help with all of that. The sweet spot for a job seeker is a job that is not only in high demand, but has some retraining component that supports skills advancement.That's because retraining gives people credentials and new skills that provide additional flexibility and economic opportunity. A recent study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that those most in danger in America's economic recovery are those with a high school degree or less. Here in Minnesota, the most plentiful opportunities for better jobs tend to be in health care and information technology, but there are also opportunities in construction; installation, maintenance, and repair; manufacturing, and office work. Many employers may offer on-the-job training for these new opportunities. 2 At DEED, we're significantly ramping up our work to help unemployed Minnesotans find jobs. We've transformed how we're reaching people who need our services most, with staff from CareerForce locations across the state contacting thousands of unemployed Minnesotans directly to proactively discuss these opportunities, assess their skills, and connect them with new job and training opportunities. And we've created a resource hub that has all the tools to help job seekers in their journey, at CareerForceMN.com/GoodJobsNow. The economy is changing, and Minnesota needs to proactively plan to meet future needs. If we do the right things,we can set our state up to be a leading hub of the American recovery that lies ahead.To get there, we need to help more people consider new opportunities in the next chapter of Minnesota's economy.
