Based on the agreement concluded on July 24,1999 between the City of Eagan and I, a balance of $20,666.67 was left on 2 properties. My concern is the $13,993.07 interest added on top of the original assessment amount. I would like to contest this matter due to economic hardship and soft:real estate market which has left me unable to sell nay properties and pay my original assessment. My request is that I do not want this balance added to my property taxes and assessment since I am not able to pay this total amount, which will lead to default and a greater loss of my property which I have lived over 10 years. At this point, I am asking the City of Eagan to agree to accept the original assessment amount of $20,666,67, and waive the added interest which I can not afford. With this proposal, I have every intention to pay the original assessment, as I will be borrowing the funds in order to take care of this matter as my growing concern of my properties and home at risk of loss. I believe that City of Eagan would like to help to the resident of this community. I wanted to thank you for your time and consideration, Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have, and I look forward in hearing from you soon.

FIRE ADMINISTRATION LEASE MODIFICATION -- JBL COMPANIES ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the modification of the lease for the former Fire Administration Building for JBL Companies. FACTS: When the Fire Safety Center opened in 2011, the City moved forward to dispose of former Fire Station #2 and the former Fire Administration Building. Station 42 was sold to Competition Engines and remodeled to be the receiver site for the business that was .moving out of Cedar Grove. The timing of the potential sale of the former Fire Administration Building was more challenging due to the general economy and the general office vacancy market in the city and the region. At that time, the City was approached by Jeff Larson of JBL Companies, a long -time, local property management firm, who indicated that he was about to relocate his offices. He expressed interest in leasing the Fire Administration Building on a flexible basis to permit the City time to complete the rezoning of the property and consider its options for selling it. While the City does not intend to be a landlord in the long term, this offer appeared to be a win - win for the parties, by generating income while the economy improved and the land use steps were bang talceir. 1 -'ving - the buildinTumupied also permitted - the City save a.substantial - — amount on its insurance, which is substantially lower if the building is occupied than if it is vacant. JBL tools occupancy of the building in July, 2011, and has operated there since that time. In January, 2012, it came to staff's attention that the monthly rental payment from JBL had not been received. Staff followed up with Mr. Larson, who apologized for the oversight and indicated that it would be corrected. Since that time, JBL has made rent payments through the month of February, but in follow up discussions, staff was informed by Mr. Larson that the firm had experienced the loss of a number of their clients .around January 1 and, despite a reduction in staff, it was continuing to experience cash flow challenges. Staff and the City Attorney consulted in this regard and, while Mr. Larson expressed a desire to modify the lease to bring it current, it was determined that to maintain the arm's length relationship with JBL, it was necessary to issue a notice of default. On April 18, 2012, Mr. Larson submitted a proposal for the modification of the lease that would provide for a modification of the area of the building under JBL's control, permission to sublease �a to additional tenants and make leasehold improvements for that purpose and to define a revised payment and repayment schedule to come current and set a modified lease rate. That proposal is enclosed for your review. Within the last several days, staff has been advised that Mr. Larson may be able to secure alternative space at another location and may choose to vacate the former Fire Administration Building in lieu of modifying the lease. Staff will be discussing this option with Mr. Larson on Monday afternoon and will advise the Committee of the outcome of the discussion. The month to month nature of the lease would have permitted such .a decision, whether the current situation had arisen or not. If Mr. Larson chooses this option, it would still be expected that JBL pay the outstanding balance of the lease obligations until the relocation would occur. Depending upon whether the Committee recommends a modification of the lease or JBL relocates, the Committee will also be asked for additional input on the options of leasing the property to another third party until the commercial real estate market further improves or taking the steps to list the property for sale of solicit proposals for that purpose. As the Committee is aware, at this point the property has been reguided and rezoned and could be sold to a third party, if a satisfactory price could be achieved.

Bles William M.'ropka i Erin E: Boerschel —39 April 18, 2012 Mr, Tom Hedges City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 C a un'les RE; Fire Administration Building Pilot Knob Road Dear Tom; I want to thank you and Bob for taking the time to meet with me on Friday, April 13, 2012, I appreciate the opportunity to share my personnel issues over the past few years along with the unforeseen lost business that JBL has recently experienced, As I mentioned, when we occupied the facility we had need for the entire first floor and the garages and we felt we were in a position to take the second level as well and open it for community.business people to utilize. We have charged a nominal fee in some cases in order to defray the cost of table set up and cleaning, With the above said and the loss of half our revenue along with the outlook of a $30,000 a month cash shortage through at least July 2012, I would like to propose the followin TERM: A one year lease term guaranty and then the ` same notice provision as now. RATE /EXPENSES; Maintain the same annual rate; as, originally agreed to ($90,400,08); howaver,paying under the following scenario; $0.00 for March 20,12...' $2,533,34 for Aprii;:Deeember 2012 ::;;;:.;; •;. $5,033,34 for January. April 2013 $7,533,34 May 2013 on The shortfall will be paid in one of two.:forms; all sublease (discussed below) revenue to. be applied to the total shortfall amouzC .Af $62,533,34 (see attached worksheirt) or .12 equal J B L COMPANIES • 3795 Pilot Knob Road •Eagan MN 55122 P1 .1- 1 Flo,ne ;.;051.686.0212...0 fax; 651. 606.6113 installments of $5,211,11 commencing on June 1, 2013, SUBLEASE: We would have the ability to construct some private offices without damaging the initial integrity of the space and provide lien free construction, A sublease would be written where the payment will go directly to the City of Eagan and applied to the shortage of overall rental payments, EVENT SPACE: We would continue to allow events for the community; however, should the opportunity arise for a revenue generating opportunity we would approach the City for approval and apply Income to the shortfall, I hope the above proposal is acceptable to the City and the Counsel, As we discussed, the original lease was structured to allow the City to gain some revenue while investigating its needs for the building, Under a normal lease scenario we would have had. a free rent period and stepped rent payments to meet the ultimate revenue _goal, I am proposing a hybrld that helps solve part of JBL's immediate financial needs while allowing the City to obtain revenue and plan for the future.

CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To provide direction to staff regarding financial aspects of potential redevelopment options. FACTS: • The Finance Committee has been designated by the City Council to review and provide recommendations to the Council regarding matters pertaining to the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District. Since the Committee last met, progress has been made with respect to the EDA approval of the Paragon Outlets preliminary concept plan and preliminary redevelopment agreement. The latter contemplates the negotiation of a purchase agreement for the development parcel. Staff and the City Attorney have begun that discussion with Paragon and we wish to provide an update on those discussions and the policy issues implied by various terms. • In addition, the EDA's development partners, Len Pratt and Jim McCaffrey have been working with the prospects who may wish to acquire and develop other parcels within the district. It would be timely to provide an update on those discussions at this time and to :discuss the strategy for responding to proposals pending further commitments relative to the Paragon project. • Related to that discussion and in consideration of the recent experience with Paragon- Outl - et - and wit p ospects id - eTitified - by Greater MSP, staf would -- begin a conversation with the Committee regarding a definition of a protocol for interaction with businesses or developers wishing to define development opportunities within the City, but requesting confidentiality during .a due diligence process. • Finally, staff will provide an update on proposed public improvement in the Cedar Grove area in 2012 and advise the Committee on the application of CDA Redevelopment Incentive Grant funds for the Cedar Grove Parkway Trail in lieu of the prior plan for shared parking improvements in the vicinity of Jensens Supper Club and Cedarvale Lanes.
