PAUL ASSOCIATION OF BUILDING OWNERS & MANAGERS. OUR OFFICES ARE LOCATED AT 330 NORTHERN FEDERAL BUILDING. MY PRESENCE HERE TODAY IS IN RESPONSE TO THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATED MAY 2, 1980 RELATIVE TO .THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR Tf� OPERATION AND 1�dAINTENANCE OF TOWN SQUARE PUBLIC SPACES AND THE CITY OWNED CAPITOL CENTRE PLA.ZA. ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY OF THE PAST WEEK YOU WERE EACH GNEN AN ADVANCE COPY AND A SIGNED COPY OF A POSITION REPORT PREPARED BY THE ST. PAUL ASSOCIA.TION OF BUILDING OWNERS & MANAGERS. THIS REPORT ADDRESSED THE TOPIC OF OPERATIldG COSTS FOR TOWN SQUARE. I WILL NOT TAKE TIME TO REVIEW WITH YOU EACH AND EVERY POINT COVERED IN THE REPORT, HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO RE—EXAMINE THE MA.JOR POINTS CONTAINED IN Tf� SUNMARY OF OUR POSITION. IN 1977, CITY STAFF UNDERTOOK AN EVALUATION OF HOW TO FINANCE THE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TOWN SQUAftE PROJECT. AT THAT T1ME, STAFF EVALUATED SEVII?AL ALTERNATIVE5 SUCH AS TAX INCRENIENT FINANCING, PRIVATE FUNDING, AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. THE USE OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS WAS REJECTED. THE QUESTION OF HOW TO FINANCE AN ESTIMATED �200,000 OF ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS WAS LEFT OPEN FOR FUTURE RESOLUTION. Ta DATE, Tf� CITY COUNCIL HA.S NOT DEA.LT WITH THE PROCEDURES FOR MANAGING TOWN SQUARE� THE ACTUAL COSTS OF OPERATION, OR THE SOURCES FOR PAYMENT. RECENTLY, STAFF PROPOSED ANNUAL SPECIAL ASSFSSMENTS ON DOWNTOWN PRAPERTIES TO PAY A REVISED ESTIMATE OF $516,000 ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS FOR TOWN SQUARE, AND AN ADDITIONAL �L,D,000 FOR CAPITOL CENTR.E PLA.ZA. ALTHOUGH BOI� REGAR.DS TOWN SQUARE AS A TRITJMPH FOR ST. PAUL, AND APPLAUDS THE HARD WORK AND IMAGINATION OF ALL THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO ITS CONSTRUCTION, BOMA STR�DNGLY OPPOSES SUCH USE OF SPEC?AL ASSESSMENTS. SEVER,AL REA.SONS SUPPORT OUR POSITION: 1) IT APPEA.RS THAT ONLY THE FUURTH FLOOR LOFT OF TDWN SQUARE IS TRULY PUBLIC PARK SPACE AS DISTINGUISHED FROM COMMON ARF,A.S IN OTHER BUILDINGS; 2) THE PROPOSED SPECIAL ASSE5SMENTS FAR EXCEED THE SPECIA.L BENEFIT, IF ANY, TO DOWNTOWN PROPERTIES; 3) COMMON AREAS IN DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN PA ID FOR BY THE BUILDING OWNERS THEMSELVES; 4) THE COST OF OPERATING AND MAINTAINING PUBLIC PAR.KS IS PAID OUT OF GENERAL REVENUES; 5) AN ANNUAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE FOR OPERATING COSTS WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVELY BURDENSOME AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE CITY; 6) THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC CONTROLS ON THE EXTENT, COST, AND NATURE OF THE OPERATION AND N�INTENANCE; AND 7) PROJECTS WHICH ARE TO BE FUNDED BY SPECIAL A SSFSSMENTS REQUIRE COMPETITIVE BIDDING, NEGATING THE PRESENT PROPOSAL TO ALLOW MA.NAGEMENT BY OXFORD FOR THE BEGINNING PERIOD. THE DRAWBACKS AND IMPROPRIETIES OF USING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT5 ARE OBVIOUS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE ALTERNATIVE FUNDING, BUT BOI�i SUBMITS THAT THE FOLLOWING ALTERNATIVE SOURCES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED: 1) ALLOCATE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE OPERATION AND N�.INTENANCE COSTS AMONG THE BUSINESS AND USERS OF TOWN SQUARE; 2) GENERAL CITY REVENUES; 3) THE EIGHT PERCENT NSP GROSS EARNINGS FRANCHISE FEE; 4) SPECIA.L EVENT USER FEES; AND 5) PRNATE DONORS. k - . . ► ' IN SUNMARY, THE 5T.

I .,��. Address of �+ ��t� `� John E. Mannillo Before the St. Paul City Council May 20, 1980 Good morning. My name is John Mannillo and I office at 310 Pioneer Building. I am one of the principal owners of the Pioneer, Endicott and Midwest Buildings as well as the Jackson Ramp and other properties in Lowertown. I 've been an owner for two years now, dating from April, 1978 . I 'm a progressive businessman who looks and invests in the future of St. Paul on a long term basis. �� s� I have serious reservations and objections to the proposed practice of special assessments for operating costs, and I would like to share some of these with you. I am offering, in effect, one building owner ' s 1'ha "impact statement" on the effects ofjTown Square assessment as well as related problems . ( more ) v /, �7�----- Mannillo - 2 You know my general position regarding the Town Square project is a positive one. I welcome its addition to St. Paul and have supported its development. Like many other downtown business people, I want Oxford, and other developers, to be encouraged and made to feel welcome. / I would like to address my remarks primarily toward the special assessments to be levied against our buildings and other buildings, for the Town Square and other projects. Let me say, at the outset, that I have no general objection to paying for benefits, in the same manner as any other property assessment. But a special assessment for the Town Square project, will not benefit our buildings to the thousands of dollars that would be assessed. I have some specific reasons why. It is argued that the project would provide some overall benefits to nearby businesses. Yet our main building complex is f�_locks away, certainly not in the immediate proximity of Town Square. I know that I cannot use any public park there to attract tenants to our buildings. ( more ) Mannillo - 3 So the benefit to us is at best, minor, although it certainly will benefit St. Paul generally. Secondly, we have already lost a key tenant to the new ��a�c � �. P � �.c�,, which formerly rented nearly 9 ,000 square feet, representing a sizable monthly rental and there- fore a sizable loss. To gain a new tenant simply to refill this space will involve additional expenses of about $50 ,000 . The new project, for which we are about to be assessed, has already cost us greatly. But to make matters still more coznplex, the new project begins th� inevitable game � of musical chairs among tenants, which major new I '�� buildings always generate. I will now compete directly � with other buildings for tenants. As you know some tenants will be moving about, some going directly to the Oxford project. Therefore the market value of my company's properties may actually decrease. I accept competition as a part of the market forces at work and part of the ' consequence of progress. Yet I find it difficult to finance the forces that basically attract tenants away from me. ( more ) Mannillo - 4 Some of my feelings about the special assessment are shared by my tenants. It is obvious that a Town Square assessment�will not affect only myself, but 5 +--� {� every tenant in every building. Extra costs inevitably � .�J U � � are assed on to others. The t p question that continually � \ .� is raised by them is this: Will the assessment costs, wh�n they finally filter down, truly benefit them? I have made an informal survey of many of my tenants, meeting them in the hallways, in the coffee shop, in my office, or on the phone. This is not, by any means a scientific cross section, but the results nevertlieless surprised me: N �V ---- Not one tenant was in favor of the j� � � � special assessment ---- Al1 say the ToLVn Square project is too ._.--__ �� n� far away to be of any direct benefit H �l 1 to their business. `4 and . . . ---- Many question the use of a special assessment, citing that only a small portion of the project is truly public.

It is obvious that a Town R Square assessmentrwill not affect only myself, but 5 `� {� every tenant in every building. Extra costs inevitably � � u !� are passed on to others.

( more ) Mannillo - 5 I would say that most of the downtown population is against this assessment. Especially in question are the costs of maintenance of common areas on � C three of the project's four floors, around which J � �� are clusters of businesses or services. ' Like other i__r ' owners downtown, we bear the cost of maintaining our �— ��/ own common areas, our shopping arcades, and our own skyways. Another concern that I specifically have is that the proposed costs are not a one-time assessment, but an every year assessTnent. There is no quarantee whatever on what these costs will be this year or any year. It is quite possible that the costs will be much more than is currently projected, a point which is not disputed either by Oxford or by city planners. Overall, the special assessment sets a bad precedent for not only the downtown area, but all of St. Paul. It a new project is brought into existance which is described as benefiting existing nearby propertys and requires ongoing maintenance, should the burden be on the current property owners to disprove the new project's benefit? This seems a lot like being assumed ( more ) + • � • Mannillo - 6 guilty until proven innocent. I hope I have shared with you some of my concerns � and specific disagreements concerning the proposed ,�� special assessment. �These have been my own � � �� viewpoints, yet I 'm sure that they represent a wide —` cross section of downtown business people. Like other people who believe in a revitalized downtown, I appreciate Oxford' s efforts and I am confident that the Town Square project will benefit all of St. Paul. But I don't think the costs should be met by special assessment to building owners, such as ourselves. � Thank you for this opportunity to be heard. �......._.... �i LOWERTOWN COMMUNITY COUNCIL 506 ENDICOTT BUILDING ��r�� ST. PAUL, MINN. 55102 ' 221-0488 LCC POSITION REPORT T0: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, PUBLIC HEARING 10:30A.M. MAY 20, 1980 RE: TOWN SQUARE ASSESSMENT POLYCY Good morning, N(y name is Thomas Harens, Executive Director of the Lowertown Community Council . I am here representing the LOWERTOWN COMMUNITY COUNCIL (LCC) . The LCC represents many growing business interests in Lowertown, a revitalized part of downtown St. Paul . Our membership numbers over 100 and it's approximate break- down is as follows. 30% Retai 1 30� Service/Professional 10% Manufacturing/Tndustrial firms 15% Building owners and managers 10°6 Residential 5% Associate The LCC's board of directors and many of it's members have studied the matter of the special assessment for Town Square as well as the Building Owners and Managers Association's (BOMA's) position report of May 14, 1980, which was sent to us for our discussion. We are responding to the assessment policy becauuse of it's direct affect upon our membership and the entire Lowertown community. While we app7aud the deve7opment of Town Square and are excited about it's completion and potential for all of St. Paul , we are unaminously opposed to the use of special a�sessments to fund the operating costs of this facility. The LCC was not a part, to tr�y knowledge, of any earlier negotiations or discussions of committment regarding the Town Square assessment. We are responding only to the present assessment proposal . However, our position against this proposal is similar to that stated in the BOMA report. Seven reasons were given by BOMA as supporting their opposition and we agree on those seven points. T will refer to them if they have not been presented atready or I will repeat them if you like. We might add that as a general principle, we feel this special assessment would set a bad government precedent for similar assessment in the future. We are well aware of the City's desire to attract development and negotiating tool that special assessment practives would provide. However, the special subsidization of one business or business complex at the expense of other businesses is not in the long term, business or government's best interests. To date, the market value of assessed property has not veen increased as must be established by the city before any assessment can be imposed. Futhermore, this market value must increase by an amount equal to the assessment as a result of any improvement. As a specific example of this inequity of the assessment pro-.. posal we would like to present a letter sent to us and to the members of city council and mayor's office, from Straus Knitting Mills. Inc. Vice President and � General Manager, Tony Straus. Extra copies are attached and I will read from the underlined sections. In conclusion let me reiterate our support of this project. Many of our members have toured the development. T for one was markedly impressed and expect tot do what I can to promote it. We suggest some alternative methods of financing the operating costs such as the principal users and tenants of Town Square bearing the burden of costs, and user fees for the park use. i 1�R�U.�; Int�N�l�ll;�(1GII;�t�:C�; M�Ilil��►, �l►N�;�':�, ' � � �' --- _ _ ______. -'"� " ` � � DESIGNfO BY THE HOUSE OF STRAUS -. �_—_ . 350 516,1E,Y ST;kE:E�T., SAINTI P��U.��, MINN�SQ:7/� 6.4.)ali 22a.43a1 Areo Code 612 CERTIFIEU MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REgUESTED ___. _._ ��.,� 14, 1980 � � � Mr. J.

THE INCLUSION OF CAPITAL CENTER PLAZA MIGFiT WELL REPRESENT AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE CONSISTENCY OF THIS PROPOSAL BY TREATING ANOTHER DOWNTOWN PARK IN THE SAME MANNER AS TOWN SQUARE. HOWEVER, TO BE ENTIRELY CONSISTENT, THE REMAINING DOWNTOWN PARKS SUCH AS THE AMERICAN PLAZA, KELLOGG PARKy RICE PARK�AND NIEARS PARK SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. FURTHER EXTENDING THIS LINE OF REASONING, THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ALL THE PARKS IN ST. PAUL SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY PROPERTY OWNERS IN PROXIMITY OF THOSE PARKS. THE ADMINISTRATION OF LAYERS OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT'�DISTRICTS SURROUNDING EACH PARK OR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT IN THE CITY WOULD REQUIRE A BUREAUCRACY THAT IS UNWEILDLY, UNWORKABLE AND UNNECESSARY'. IV. ALTHOUGH THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS WILL BE LEVIED AGAINST THE PROPERTY OWNERS UNDER THIS PROPOSAL, THE TENANTS OF THE AFFECTED BUILDINGS OR LOTS WILL IN REALITY SHOULDER THE BURDEN OF PAYING THIS TAX. EITHER IMMEDIATELY THROUGH LEASE ESCALATION PROVISIONS, OR EVENTUALLY WHEN LEASES ARE RENEGOTIATED, THIS COST WILL BE PASSED ON,T�I THE TENANTS. IN CONVERSATIONS I HAVE HAD WITH TENAPJTS, THEY ALSO HAVE INDICATED THEIR OPPOSITION TO THIS PROPOSAL. THEY HAVE CONVEYED TO ME THEIR CONCERN OVER THE NEGATIVE IMPACT TFiIS PROPOSAL WILL HAVE OIV THE HEALTH OF DOWNTOWN ST. PAUL'S BUSINESS CLIi+1ATE. �I�aO� V. TO GENERALLY SUMMAR3�.ZE THE�ISSUES REGARDING THE PROPOSED USE OF SPEC3AL ASSESSP�ENTS FOR TOWN SQ�lARE, I FEEL THAT: � , 1. THIS PROPOSAL WILL ESTABLISH A DANGEROUS P�ECEDENT THAT MIGHT HAVE A DIVISIVE AND DETREMENTAL IMPACT ON DOWNTOWN ST. PAUL: 2. IT APPEARS THAT THE FIRST THREE LEVELS IN TOWN SQUARE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE COMMON AREAS OF OTHER DOWINTOWN BUILDINGS THAT PAY FOR THEIR OWN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. THE BENEFIT OF THESE THREE LEVELS TO THE CITY IS ACCORDINGLY QUESTIONABLE. 3. THE USE OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE 4th LEVEL OF TOWN SQUARE, OR WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE PARK PORTION OF THE PROJECT, IS INAPPROPRI��E. VI . I AM THEREFORE REQUESTING THAT YOU DO NOT APPROVE THE PROPOSAL AT HAND BUT RATHER REFER THIS MATTER TO COMMITTEE FOR FURTHER STUDY AND THE GENERATION OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES. IN A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION, I IN PARTICULAR AND BOMA IN GENERAL OFFER OUR ASSISTANCE TO THE COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE.

Capi�al Financinq and Implementation Responsibility � Phase I The initial concept for funding the Phase I implementation of 7th Place was to use $400,000 of Community Development Year IV funds. This request was not approved. ' As a back-up it appears that $200,Q00 of the .series 1974 bonds of the Downtown Development District No. 1 Bond Fund can be made� available.

Project 85 First National Bank Building � 322 Minnesota Street � � ' Saint Paul , MN 55101 � Dear Bob: I have looked over your first draft budget for Galleria and have these � , initial� comnents and questions: . 1. Security and maintenance budgets will depend upon the following ' considerations: days and hours the space is open to the public; relationship of the maintenance and security staff, equipment, etc. to the maintenance and security program of the rest of the � Seventh Place mall ; a more specific definition of the kinds of • � programs the Galleria will house, e.g. , certa�in exhibits may require special security requiring either personnel or.� equipment such as locked cases, etc. Z. Staff costs of $40,000 may be a realistic total but requiring different distribution. Again, I am making certain assumptions about the program the manager, would have to plan and implement. . � If the person is basically a prograrr�ner of activities for the - . Galleria and a liason with merchants ' associations, other activity agencies like the Arts and Science Council , Parks and Recreation, COMPAS, etc. , I think you can get good response to a salary in ' the $20,000 range. This person would have to be supported by � another body, sharing the responsibilities of installing and supervising activities since one body cannot be present six days a week, 12 hours a day. This might be a $10,000 range person, . similar to Dick McIntosh's assistant at Landmark Center. A � ' secretary=scheduler would also be necessary, as you have noted. 3. I assume your "promotions" budget is to cover all program fees, � set-up or installation costs and publicity ads, posters, and so � on. Unless you see additional hard or soft donations from � merchants, city, etc. , I think $25,000 of activity �is too low. Consider �ust the cost of seasonal decorations.! 5chubert Club�Sdencr Mueeum of Minneeota�Sdnt I'aul Chamber Orcheetn�Minneeot�M�roeum d Art�Chimet�'fhedre Companr�COMPAS An Irotllulfoml Sponwr of KSJN-PM Radb. . • . . • \ ---r----- - - -__, . _ . . .. ._ • . _r_, -�- _ _._..__._ ... _....... .,.. , . . .__... . __,__ . __ .�.�- .,� , . . . , M � • , • ' • ' • • . . • i . � Mr. Robert Van Hoef - .

M. at City � �QS Hall. Any members who would like to be resemt are welcome. /D 6 The Chairman also emphasized that a meeting be held with the Downtown �Z��' Community Development Committee prior to the presentation to the City . Council. .Although a similar meeting with the Parking Commission would be in order, it would be difficult to arrange because the next meeting �, of the Commission is July 13. Peter Jarvis of BRW consutting firm presented revised cost estimates � indicating a total project cost of $125 ,300. This includes three major items : (1) Island cost - $37 ,100; (2) Structure cost - $74 ,200; (seven structures) (3) Street costs - $14 , 000. He again reviewed the . project and some of the design changes which were suggested at the � last meeting. . qti The discussion that followed produced these ideas : There is general support for the idea of free parking in the 106 new stalls provided . on the street. Such a parking program would permit a controlled experiment for downtown free parking. There was considerable discussion on the structures that woulcl be built on the newly created traffic • island. The consultant agreed that the design is not final and that it is in need of additional design work on construction. Again,caution was expressed on providing benches or sitting areas as a part of the structure. However, there was general agreement that , while such sitting might encourage activities which are detrimental to shopping, that this, too, could be a new experiment and forerunner of some of the many amenities which will be designed into the galleria and Town Square project. There were several suggestions for considera- tion in the design of the island structures. There was general agreement with the design concept and that it should . now be' presented to the City Council by way of the Finance Committee.

TIMM, 6ROUP MANAGEI� SAINT PAUL AREA CHAMBER OF CW�MERCE BEFORE 7HE SAINT PAUL CITY COlN1CIL ON TNE MATTER OF SPECIAI ASSESShtENTS FOR OPERATIONS AWO MAINTENANCE OF TOWN SQUARE PARK My name is Erv A. Timm. My appearance here today is on behaif of the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, with principal offices at 300 Osborn Building, Saint Paul , Minnesota. The Chamber's Economic Action Group, for which I am Group Manager� at the request of many af our members, is in the process of conducting a through analysis of th� proposed special assessn�nt procedure for defraying the costs of operation of the City-awned Tawn Square public facilitfes bounded by Cedar Street, Eighth Street, Minnesota Street and Sixth Street, and of the Capital Center Plaza. Within the par�netara of our study and a�nalysis are such things as th� need for realism and control , determination of who is a be�efited user of the facilities, and establiahment of a fai� and equitable basis for recovering the costa of aperatlon and malntenance. Our first efforts turned to the Devonian Gardens in Calgary after which our own Tavn Square Park was patterned. Devonian Gardens consist of 2.5 acres of indoor vegetation in the heart of Calgary . . . . one mile of pathways with special ramps for handicapped visitors, seating for 800 alongside waterfalls, fountains and ponds . . . . a stage for regular entertainment and varied exhibits (inc�uding TV shows} , a children's play araa, plus a reflecti�g pool that serves as a skating �ink in the winte� . . . . ail of which is open to the p�lic from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. 365 days a year . . . . at no admission charge. There are 138 different pl�t varietie� alone . . . . a total of 16,000 varying "tropical plants" that came from Florida but are all rapresentative of - 2 - . t � F the native plants in the Calgary area or the northern clfmate. These are � supplemented by �,000 hardy ground covers from the Calgary area as pa�t of the � landscape. 'Forty-six feet above street level . the naturel terrace and cc. of Uevonian Gardens ��e complemented by sparkling fountai�s, reflecting ponds, f crossed by wooden bridges and waterfalls. The steel , aluminium, bronze and ; clear glass rise to 24 feet to house a unique park for recreation, relaxation and enjoyment. A virtual paradise . . . . and where you would expect it least . . . . amid the ice and snow. I am sure that this "word picture" of Devonian Gardens that I have painted clearly shaws that it is a "show place" that everyona in Calgary ts proud of an benefits from. While our Town Square � Park may not rival Devoni�n Gardens, it wiil most assuredly be sn exciting place i that wtil attract �ot only our oam residents but visitors as well. But naw comes the ha�d part. Devonian Gardens was constructed by Poole Construction under the supervision of J. H. Cook �►rchitects and Engineers and it certainly wasn't a regular job. Unique eonside�ations and pro6lems were involved. [3eneath the Devonlan Gardens are �etail stores and restaurants. Not only do the floors car ryr substantial loads imposed by the various contou�s, water courses and vegetation, but they are also waterproofed. Ventilation and controlled humidity are essential as is the lighting designed to sustain plant growth. All of this says it is a mighty expensive place to build and to maintain. There is no reason why Saint Paul should not be envious of Calgary and want its ewn "show piece". There is� however. a substantial difference. Devonisn Gardens, compieted in 1977, was gt,ve_n to the citizens of Calgary by ' the Devonian Group and C_alford Prope rties� and it is apera,ta_d and maintained by the City of Calgary Parks and itecreation Depa�__ ' Atl of which brings ma to the point of raalism a�d control. Just how eliborate does Town Square have to be? To what extant do the "benefited users" who are going to have to pay the costs of oQeration and maintenance have any - _ 3 _ � � ; E control over the+initial capital outlay which is di �-ectlLr transl�ted into the annual costs of operatlon and maintenance. � � Tc� date we have been la�-gely providad with projected costs based heavily on the experience of Oxford Development Group elsswhera in arriving at the ! estimate of $516,000 annual operating costs for Town Square Park and the � additional $40,000 for Capital Centre Plaza appears to hav�e "just gotten tossed in" without a great deai of shawing of justificati�. It dces not appear that the City Council has dealt with the important matters of establishing an effective system for ma�agement of Town Square or estabitshing cost-effective controls for its annual operating expenses. We simply nsad to have a better � , "game plan" for determini�g haw elaborate Tawn Square Park will be and how � much will it cost beforo we can realisticaliy be thinking about spreading � costs over r p operty owners. Is this figure too high, too low, or just right? The next conside�ation is to determine who is a benefited user? We have ever reason to believe it will be an exciting place, attra_ct_i_ny residents and visito�s alike� and 1 have to believe everyone in Saint Paul will benefit fram Tawn Squ�re Park. Calgary apparently cktormined that they ; all benefited equally since Devonian Gardenare operated and malntained by the City of Calgary Parks and Recreation Department. Como Park attracts residents and visitors alike, however there is no special assessment procedure for F adjacent property owners. Evsn if we were to concede that there is a special class of corporate citize�s who derriv� "special benefits" we are immediately confronted with what is a fair �d equi�table basis for detdrminin9 spscial benefits? it may be easier to determine what is not. How can it be square footage for land when it might be a parking lot or the land under a awlti-m111ion dollar buiiding? ' How can it be proximity wh�n some buildings may be moe� closely tied to Tow� Square Park through the Skyway system or Shuttle Transit and other buildings see it as a competitive retalling area hurtiag their sa1�sY Sea�e office buildings - 4 - , hous� corporate headquarters or general officos of a specific company a�d others are open to.tenants, so that one depends on public access for its existence and the oth�r wishes to be isolated from public access. How can it be square footage of rental space when leases vary as much as $10 to �1Z.00 per sq. ft. for occupted rental space depending on the building even though the buildings might be in the same assessment area? Real estate taxes bear some coorelatia� to per sq. ft. rental incomes by dete�mination of assessed valuation o� a capitalized operating incort�e formula. Is there �ny fair and eQUitable basis for determining special benefits? _ _ As we looked for an anawer to that question ws took a curso ry look on the impact of Der�m toam Saint Paul new construction � the local Government Aid formula sinc� assessed valuation of downtewn buildings hss a substantia�l impact on the amount of these funds which the school district would receive. �nd which� in turn, has a substantial impact on property taxes. A great deal more attention needs to be given to this factor so that we can accurately measure the irt�act of Local Gowernment Aids to the City� County and School District. This also raises a most serious concern that buildings in Davntown Saint Paul might be put in "doubie jaopardy" by receiving increased assessed valuations based on their proximity to Tavn Square Park while simuitaneously being directly assess for its operation. One need also fear that an i�crease in the sales ratio for commercial buitdings orde rod by the Minnesota Department of T�xation emanating fram its annual sa�ling might resuit in Downtown Saint Paul buldings getti�g "hit hard" and I believe it is worthy of City Council Research to thoroughly expiore these factors befora "we take a flyer" on special assessments. • It became quite obvious that all of the new construction in Downtown Saint Paul has generated mora tax revenue. Here, hcwever, we have the converse situation. While the additional taxes o� new buildings i� Wards 3 and 4 . . - 5 - � tend to reduce property taxes for ev�eryone in Saint Paul , the costs of operating a park in Downtown Saint Paul Is to be assessed directly against the prope rty owners in Downtown Saint Paut paying the additional taxes. Pursuing this a litle further, 1 could not help but recall that it seemed entirely appropriate to use the increased revenue generated from the utility franchise tax on proposed new buildings in Downtown Saint Paul to economically justify the Dawntewn People Mover. W'hy is it not now appropriate to use the 8 percent surcharge on sales of electricity, gas and steam from the new buildings within a several block proximity to Toam Square Park to at least partially offset the annual ope�ati�g expense of this facility? City Council Research Ce�ter did � �laborate study of Saint Paul'a Gross Earnings Fr�nchise Fee o� February 26, 1979 with projections in g�owth through 1983. Thts �eds to be updated to include such new buildings as Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Company's headquarters which wasn't even known about at the time of the original study. It might be possible to pay the costs of ope ration of Town Square Park frem new rev�nue generated by the surcharge on the conce�tration of new buildings which we cali Tmwrt Square Park ltself. It seeans totally incongru��s for the City to "cream off" the additionai property tax revenue and the addittonal 8 percent surcharge on energy bills from the new buildings in �m tawn Saint Paul and i� the convorse pass on the costs of operating Town Squars Park to them through special assessments. We are a long way from completi�g our analysis. We have not even made a recornmendatian to the Chamber's Ex�ecutive Cortmittee or Board of Directors as to a position relative to the special assessment proposal. We know that the�e is a great deal of disagreement in the coamunity relative to the assessment pro�dure. On the other hand, th�re is almost caapleta unanimity that Town Square Park will be of substantial benefit to Downta+n Saint Paui. , . . � _ 6 _ , We certai�ly do not advocate spending approximately $)0 million dollars to build a new image for powntown Saint Paul and not fully realizing its potential. What we suggest is that si�ce there wiil be a second hearing in mid-August that we use the time productively to approach the problem from these perspectives . . . . (1) develop a system of management of Town Square Park that includes cost control (2) develop canpetitive data for determining operations and maintenance cost projects (3) define a "benefited use�" for Town Square Park (4) establish a fair and equitabie b�sis for dete�-ming how speciai benefits, if any, should be spread �5) fully explore the concept of dedicating the � perc�nt surcharge on e�rgy to offset operations and maintenances expenses of Town Square Park. While v� know that Downtawn Saint Paul is going to be a much more exciting a�d beautiful place that will attract residents and vtsitors alike; we have the responsibtlity to keep it cor�etitive. Like other organizations interested in Downtown Saint Paul , the Chamber wiil commit its resources to finding more constructive solutions and we ask that the City Council withhold action on the special assessment concept to give everyone more time to explore and develop alte rnatives. ��;�� ;� DCDC Motion passed on Thursday, April 16, 1980 Where as: The Downtown Community Development Council (DCDC) was not asked to review the recommendations of the city as to the�'own�$quare �►ssessment7�listrict funding proposal . and Where as: The Downtown Community Development Council is concerned with the precident that will be created by the proposal special assessment policy recommended by the city. Therefore, be it resolved that the Downtown Corrrennunity Development Council requests the Qity to reconsider the special assessment concept as proposed; a -� }�r that the eity determine:m a more equitable and constructiv method of determining the costs,�f operation for Town Square�who should operate �e facility;�what income can be generated through special events, a fair method of funding the operating costs consistent with current practices of maintaining oth �ubli are s such as skyways, side- walks, parks and squares; an��urther, at the new plan be presented to the membership vf DCDC at a pub1ic meeting. .- . � DR.AFT -- REtl�5ED BUDGBT 6-1-80 �t�'.�� , � _4�._;.� � REVISrD BUiIGET Oxford Ci�Y Security $ - � � $36,200 Security Car_tingency I8,400 ,.T:?i�; �:•�Z T'i:i� ';i '"� 1 J3 ll..I � .�V �."�7 - .a. .�C)�-3..,, y ,_ y .i .Janitor Supp�ies �,458 2,0;2 Contrac� C3.eano �- 10,000 Electrical Maintenance 1�l�pp 1,900 HVAC 24,323 35,677 Electricity 39,304 229396 HVAC (Elect.

I AM EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SAINT PAUL AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WITH OFFICES AT 3O'O OSBORN BUILDING IN $AINT PAUL� I AM HERE THIS MORNING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE OF FINANCING THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SAINT PAUL TOWN SGIUARE PARK IN THE OXFORD PROJECT IN DOWNTOWN SAINT PAUL. MY PURPOSE THIS MORNING IS TO RELAY TO YOU A PLAN THAT WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT TOGETHER OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER, DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS, MEMBERS OF THE DOWNTOWN COUNCIL AND OF THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS COMMUNITY. LET ME SAY THAT OUR PRIMARY CONCERN -- THAT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND OTHERS INVOLVED -- HAS BEEN TO SEE IF WE COULD FIND A REASONABLE SOLUTION OR A COMPROMISE CONCERNING THE FUNDING FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK -- A COMPROMISE OR SOLUTION THAT WOULD HAVE THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS COMMUNITY ASSUMING ITS FAIR SHARE OF THIS COST. OUR SECOND MAJOR CONCERN HAS BEEN THE CONTINUED HARMONY AND WORKING TOGETHER OF BUSINESS, LABOR AND GOVERNMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY� OUR ORGANIZATION HAS ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED THE OXFORD TOWN S�UARE PROJECT AND OTHER DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS � WE ARE DELIGHTED WITH THE CURRENT STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT AND ACTIVITY IN OUR C0�IMUNITY� IT HAS BEEN OUR CONCERN THAT WE SNOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS ANY SEEMING CONFLICT OR DISSATISFACTION THAT WOULD PROVE HARMFUL T0 THE GREAT SPIRIT 4 _A_. 1 OF COOPERATION AND WHICH MIGHT RESULT IN NEGATIVE PUBLICITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THIS GREAT DEVELOPMENT PRaJ ECT� OUR THIRD PREMISE WAS THAT WHATEVER WE DID SHOULD BE A COORDINATED PROGRAM AND HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE CHAMBER, BOMA, OPERATION HS, THE DOWNTOWN COUWCIL, THE OXFORD CORPORATION AND A SUB�TANTIAL NUMBER OF DOWNTOWN BUSINESS FIRMS AND PROPERTY OWNERS � I WE DID HAVE A SERIES OF MEETINGS WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THESE GROUPS AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AS A BROAD- BASED ORGANIZATION, SHOULD BE THE VEHICLE THROUGH WHICH ALL. GROUPS WOULD WORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF A COMPROMISE PLAN. AS A RESULT, THE PROBLEM WAS DISCUSSED AT A MEETING OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HELD �UNE IO AND ALSO AT A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HELD ON .JUNE 17, AT THAT MEETING, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TNE PRESIDENT AND EXEGUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER TO PROPOSE A PLAN TO THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL AS A COMPROMISE SOLUTION TO THE FUNDING OF THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK, BASED PRIMARILY ON A VOLUNTARY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM FOR ONE YEAR. THE PROPOSAL ALSO WAS DISCUSSED AT A MEETI�JG TO WHICH MAJOR LANDOWNERS AND MAJOR FIRMS DOWNTOWN WERE INVITED -- SOME 4O INDIVIDUALS -- AND WHICH OVER 3O ATTENDED� FOLLOWING THE LATTER MEETING, REPRESENTATIVES OF THAT GROUP MET WITH ��IAYOR GEORGE LATIMER AND MEMBERS OF HIS STAFF TO OFFER OUR PROPOSAL� THAT MEETING WAS HELD LAST WEDNESDAY, .JUNE 2S, AND THE MAYOR INDICATED THAT HE WOULD. GET BACK TO US BEFORE THE WEEK WAS OVER WITH . � -�- HIS REACTION TO THE PROPOSAL AND TO A FURTHER ASSESSMENT OF THE COSTS TO THE CITY IN RELATION TO THE ENTIRE PROJECT� WHILE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL ARE UNDOUBTEDLY AWARE OF SOME OF fNE CONCERNS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, LET ME JUST BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE CONCERNS BEING EXPRESSED AND WHY WE GOT INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. 1� TNE PRECEDENT THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED TO ASSESS ADJACENT PROPERTY FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS AS IT MIGHT RELATE TO FUTURE ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF OTHER DOWNTOWN PARKS AND�OR OTHER CITY PARKS THAT WOULD BE ASSESSED AGAINST A PROPERTY OWNER IN THE VICINITY OF THE PARK, INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL AREAS � Z. THE CONCERN OVER THE INE�UITIES OF AN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT BASED ON LAND RATHER THAN ASSESSED VALUATION. 3, AN ASSESSMENT BEING MADE AGAINST COMPETING RETAIL OR OFFICE STRUCTURES NOT WITHIN THE OXFORD PROJECT ITSELF. 4� THE SIZE OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE FIRST YEAR AND, OF MORE IMPOkTANCE, THE POTENTIAL INCREASE IN THE OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE BUpGET EACH YEAR IN THE FUTURE� S� THE CONCERN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PARK SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT VERSUS A PRIVATE OPERATOR WITH EXPERIENCE IN THIS TYPE OF PARK IN A COMPLETELY CONTROLLED AIR CONDITIONED ATMOSPHERE� . -4- 6� THE �UESTION AS TO WHETHER THE PROGRAMMING FOR THE CENTER SHOULD BE DONE BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT OR RATHER BY THE DOWNTOWN COUNCIL AND OXFORD DEVELOPMENT PROMOTION DEPARTMENT OR OTHER GROUPS � �. THE LEGALITY OF THE ASSESSMENT ITSELF� HERE, THEN, IS THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE SUPPORTED BY TNE CHAMBER, BOMA, OPERATION S5 AND OXFORD: 1. WE WOULD APPOINT A SPECIAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, INDIVIDUALS WITH EXPERTISE AND REPRESENTING DOWNTOWN GROUPS, TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND OXFORD TO REVIEW AND ESTABLISH A FIRM BUDGET AND TO MONITOR EXPENSES FOR OPERATiON AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK, 2� WE WOULD RAISE, THROUGH VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS OR ASSESS- MENTS, IF YOU PREFER, PLEDGED TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WHICH WOULD BE FORMALIZED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO TURN OVER FUNDS PLEDGED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR, ESTIMATED AT �ZOO,O{}O� 3. ESTABLISH A USER FEE FOR THE PARK WHICH WOULD RETURN SOME FUNDS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, ALTHOUGH ADMITTEDLY RELATIVELY SMALL. 4� UTILIZE THE ELECTRIC RATE FRANCHISE FEE OF $� �� PAID TO THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL FROM THE ELECTRICITY GENERATED IN THE TWO-BLOCK , OXFORD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, INCLUDING THE TWO OFFICE TOWERS, THE SHOPPING AND RESTAURANT AREAS, AND THE RADISSON PLAZA HOTEL, ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY �IOO,OOO, ANY PORTION THEREOF NEEDED AND�OR OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS PAID TO THE CITY BY DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS� i -5- S. THE ABOVE IS PROPOSED FOR A ONE-YEAR PROGRAM TO FINANCE THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK AND TO PROVIDE TIME TO EXPLORE OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF FUNDS AND TO ESTABLISH A PERMANENT FINANCING PLAN ON OR BEFORE �ULY 1, 1981. THE ADVANTAGES OF THE ABOVE PROPOSAL, AS WE SEE IT, ARE: 1� WILL ALLOW TIME TO EXPLORE OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING ON A PERMANENT BASIS, I � E. , FOUNDATION FUNDING, UTILIZATION OF NEW DOWNTOWN TRANSPORTATION CORPORATION, ETC� 2� HAS THE SUPPORT OF THE CHAMBER, BOMA AND A MAJORITY OF DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS AND MAJOR DOWNTOWN FIRMS� 3� AYOIDS THE POTENTIAL FOR COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING LITIGATION WHICH COULD HOLD UP THE PARK DEVELOPMENT AND PLACE THE CITY IN A DILEMMA IF THE LAWSUITS WERE SUCCESSFUL, WHICH COULD THEN RESULT IN THE COST BEING PLACED ON THE TAX ROLLS OF THE ENTIRE CITY. �� ENABLE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNERS AND FIRMS, THE CITY AND ALL CITIZENS TO ASSESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PARK AND THE ENTIRE PROJECT TO THE CITY AND TO ITS CITIZENS AND FIRMS. S� Pr�GATES THE CITY�S NEED TO ASSESS ALL CITY PROPERTY OWNERS TO COVER THE CITY�S SHARE OF ASSESSMENT FOR CITY LAND IN THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT� � 6� IT RESULTS IN THE PARK OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS BEING BORNE BY THE DOWNTOWN OWNERS AND FIRMS THROUGH THEIR VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS OR VOLUNTARY ASSESSMEN7S AND UTILIZATION OF THE FRANCHISE t t -6- FEE PAID BY THE FIRMS IN THE CENTER. �� IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO WILL PAY THE BILL TO BE INYOLVED IN DECISIONS RELATING TO TNE PARK� H. IT AVOIDS A POTEWTIAL CONFRONTATION BETWEEN DOWNTOWN BUSINESS FIRMS, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE� THE CITY COUNCIL AND RESULTING BAD COMMUNITY PUBLICITY WHICH COULD BE HARMFUL TO THE FUTURE OF THE CENTER AND DOWNTOWN SAINT PAUL. THIS, THEN, IS THE PROPOSAL. THE PREFERRED WAY THAT THE DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS AND BUSINESS FIRMS TO MEET THE COST S OF OPERATING AND MAINTAINING THE PARK AS WELL AS THE CITY�S DESIRE TO NOT HAVE THESE COSTS PLACED ON THE TAX ROLLS AND TO HAVE THE COSTS COVERED BY DOWNTOWN BUSINESS FIRMS AND LAND OWNERS � TIME AND LACK OF A FIRM AND AGREED-UPON BUDGET HAVE PREVENTED US FROM HAVING A FIRM COiMMITMENT ON THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE VOLUNTARY _ . ASSESSMENT, HOWEVER, WE HAVE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF PLEDGES AND ARE CONFIDENT W� CAN REACH OUR GOAL� WE ASK -- TNE CHAMBER, BOMA AND A GROUP OF DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS AND FIRMS -- ASK THAT YOU PROVIDE US WITH THE TIME TO EXPLORE THIS FINANCING METHOD BEFORE FIRMING UP THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENT PLAN. IT IS A PLAN THAT WILL AVOID ANIMOSITY AND ENABLE ALL OF US TO SUPPORT THIS. GREAT PROJECT AND TO GET ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF INSURING ITS SUCCESS AND PROMOTING DOWNTOWN SAINT PAUL TO THE MUTUAL . BENEFIT OF ALL OF US� -7- IT FURTHER ENABLES THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TO ACT RESPONSIBLY AND UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL AND THE DCDC. _ __ - • .�. -_�:._�: - -�...�_._._ ...... _-,��--. .. ._., _ �, ;,�-�_. . � . . ;.. ` ...... . � , ; �,"� '�. . , , ,�-�'.\.�. , .`-, , ` ' `�i ,� -�a.. =�s / i _ • ` � � ' •' �. , � \ � �'�/��' _r`,'�' ,,•�� '�j' \ `\��/- � ,,:>/. ±,;•'' �/ '�I � • � �/ "' h:. •.
