APPROVAL OF MINUTES OCTOBER 21 1991 - SPECIAL SESSION There was a motion by Commissioner Cohen and seconded by Commissioner Scott to approve the minutes of the October 21, 1991, EDA meeting. The motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS: NORTH METRO MAYORS SUPER BOWL PROMOTION The EDA Coordinator presented the North Metro Mayors Association's plan to sponsor a charity golf event during Super Bowl weekend. The entertaining, fun- filled event will provide a soft -sell promotion of the northern suburbs to some of the nation's top corporate decision makers. The intent is to host a well- staged event portraying the northern suburbs as an appealing area for business development, business conferences, and to stay while in the metropolitan area conducting business. The event will also provide Minneapolis businesses with an opportunity to entertain their guests prior to the Super Bowl game. The response has been very positive. After hearing about the planned event, Tenant Company has requested 12 reservations. 91 - 11 4 // 1 The golfing event will run from Thursday through Sunday morning, and will include a three - hole round of golf outdoors at Edinburgh U.S.A. -golf, course. The fairways will be lined with surplus evergreens obtained from local Christmas tree vendors. The fairways will also include sawdust traps. Six additional holes of golf will be played indoors on donated video golf machines. Sponsors are being asked to make a contribution to "Success by Six" for every participant completing all nine holes. The cost of the event was originally estimated to be $120,000; however, the cost continues to go down as more and more corporate sponsors are obtained. It appears Coca -Cola will be the major corporate sponsor, with local developers also picking up part of the costs. The North Metro Mayors Association and the Tourism Board have each contributed $10,000, and participating cities are being asked to approve an expenditure of $2,500. Chili's Restaurant will be providing the food. The North Metro Mayors Association's goal is to have the event sanctioned as an official Super Bowl event. The plan has been well received by the Super Bowl Task Force. Invitations will be mailed out through the National Football League's corporate mailing list. The mailing list will also provide Brooklyn Center with a significant contact list for future economic development. Chrysler Corporation has leased the Heritage Center for a private Super Bowl party. The EDA is considering a Sunday event with music, and the game being shown on giant screen T.V. The EDA Coordinator closed his presentation by advising the Authority that according to the Super Bowl Task Force, this is the only community - sponsored event being planned in conjunction with the Super Bowl, and asked the Authority to consider an expenditure of $2,500 from the EDA fund in order for Brooklyn Center to participate in the North Metro Mayors Association's Super Bowl Promotion. Following a brief discussion of the event, there was a motion by Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Rosene to approve the $2,500 expenditure for Brooklyn Center to participate in the North Metro Mayors Association's Super Bowl Promotion Event. The motion passed unanimously. EARLE BROWN HERITAGE CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS The EDA Coordinator presented proposed capital improvements /outlay for improved operation of the Earle Brown Heritage Center. He suggested the proposed purchases /improvements be part of the Tax Increment Financing District; and further recommended this be the last capital improvement under the T.I.F. District. 11/4/91 -2- F The EDA Coordinator reviewed for the Commission the specific items for purchase and also the improvements to both the C Barn and two of the small meeting rooms in the basement of the Hippodrome. The EDA Coordinator advised the Authority these capital improvements /outlay items were basically included in the original plan for the Earle Brown Heritage Center. He further advised the Authority the purpose of his presentation was to provide an overview of the plan and to obtain some response /direction from the Authority. He will present a resolution for consideration authorizing the capital improvements /outlay for the Earle Brown Heritage Center at a future EDA meeting. The Commission members discussed the various components of the proposal, and asked to be provided with more specific details on the purchases /improvements as the plan progresses. Commissioner Pedlar asked the EDA Coordinator to provide the Authority with the September financial report on the farm, and also a business plan outlining both the meeting rooms in the Hippodrome and the C Barn, including projected pay -back figures. Following a brief discussion on the future of the tax increment financing district, President Paulson asked the EDA Coordinator to formulate some information for the Authority on the tax increment financing district, including possible amendments and restrictions.
