‘It’s not my first TIF go-round’ BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CENTERVILLE — Every municipality would love to have a crystal ball when entertaining the idea of establishing a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. Will a city reap a return on its investment of tax dollars by subsidizing a start of a future successful development in a difficult area of the city or won’t it? The Centerville City Council doesn’t have a crystal ball either, so it only dangled the edge of its little toe into the TIF waters at the July 24 meeting. After much discussion and reservations about a proposed modification of Development District No. 1 and establishment of TIF District No. 1-8 within that district, council voted 4-1 (Council Member Matt Montain opposed) to call for a public hearing on the proposal at 6:30 p.m., Oct. 9 at City Hall. For help in speculating whether tax dollars invested in establishing a TIF district would be beneficial to the surrounding community, the city is calling on its citizens, commissioners, Anoka County officials and Centennial School District officials for input. A written plan for the proposed TIF district will be prepared by Northland Public Finance and distributed to the county and school

White Bear Schools bond would be biggest in state history BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — At its July 15 meeting, the school board unanimously approved a big ask — a $326 million bond referendum — to be on the ballot this fall. If passed, it would be the largest in state history, confi rmed Greg Abbott, Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA) communications director. MSBA has a record of passed and failed school bonds dating back to 2000 on its website. The largest bond passed was by Anoka-Hennepin

School District for $249 million in 2017, according to MSBA records. The district is using the money to renovate five high schools and build two new elementary schools. White Bear Lake Area Schools plans to build one new elementary school in Hugo, expand North Campus to house all high school grades and construct upgrades at all other schools with the $326 million. The plans include the relocation of Sunrise Park Middle School to South Campus. Sunrise would become an early childhood center, transition center and senior center, and would

house district offices. The vacated District Center, where the district offices are currently, would be an expansion for Central Middle School. Oneka Elementary in Hugo would become a K-5 school and Hugo Elementary would become an early childhood center. Districtwide safety and security improvements, as well as flexible learning spaces, are also part of the plans. The plans were put forth by a 90-member committee that met this winter. The facility planning committee of staff, parents and community members came to a consensus on the

plans this spring after discussing five options for high school and elementary configuration to meet growing enrollment needs. The facilities planning was prompted by the district’s recent strategic planning. The district projects that more than 2,000 new students will enroll during the next 10 years due to housing growth. The growth will be 25% higher than current capacity. The tax impact for the $326 million in voter-approved bonds on a $275,000 home would be an increase of $280 SEE BONDS, PAGE 18

Spinoff from NASA

E JUST CELEBRATED the 50th anniversary of the Apollo landing on the moon, an amazing, remarkable achievement and a downright difficult-to-understand feat. From this achievement, NASA developed a huge array of technology and products that are benefiting consumers. Through the process, over a thousand U.S. patents were granted to people working on the project. The source for the information in this column came in part from the NASA Technology Transfer Program. The list of inventions goes on and on, but let me share a few that I’ve come to appreciate About the and that might make your Top 10 list. I think we are all Town familiar with memory foam. Gene Johnson One of the engineers, Charles Yost, worked on the modules to be sure the astronauts could be recovered safely after landing. Researchers discovered “slow spring back foam” and later Yost developed the “temper foam.” Of course, since then memory foam is used in many applications, from the Dallas Cowboy’s helmets to high comfort insoles in shoes. Another invention was the anti-corrosion coating to deal with the extreme cold in space and the heat from the rocket exhaust system. As a saltwater boater, we have experienced the destructive forces from ocean spray and fog and its corrosive element. One of the celebrated applications of this coating came in the 1980s when it was applied to the Statue of Liberty to curb further deterioration. ArterioVision pairs ultra-sound equipment with NASA’s software genius to be able to detect early signs of arteriosclerosis, which threatens heart attacks and strokes. Now, with this ArterioVision, signs of cardiovascular illness can be detected in early stages. Cochlear implants – in the late 70s, Adam Kissiah, Jr., a hearing-impaired engineer, came up with a concept for a new type of hearing aid, an implant that produced digital pulses to stimulate the auditory nerve endings that would then transmit the signals to the brain. Another benefit we have today is scratchresistant eyeglass lenses. This provided the shift from glass lenses, which were heavy and dangerous, to a durable plastic. Ted Wydeven, while working another project, came up with a coating that was surprisingly tough. This abrasion-resistant lens was used for space helmet visors and in 1983 Foster Grant used the technology in sunglasses. Another development was the insulin pump, which researchers, working on the Mars Viking spacecraft and anticipating traveling farther into space, designed for monitoring the astronauts’ health. Through the space program we have water fi lters that have been developed to provide clean water that is safe to drink. Further spinoffs from NASA’s technology have given us LEDs, infrared ear thermometers, improved radial tires, fi refighting gear, cordless vacuums, powdered lubricants, and LASIK eye surgery. Space projects have helped us in our everyday lives. The program was curtailed under President Richard Nixon. Research is valuable to us every day. Programs like this enhance it. It brings industry and universities together toward worthy goals and achievements. Let’s push forward. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications

Give me a home where the butterﬂies roam

n May 11, 1858, the United States of America welcomed its 32nd state to the union – 18 million acres of prairie, 21 million acres of wetlands, 31.5 million acres of forests and 11,842 lakes, now lovingly known as Minnesota. Over the years, Minnesota has grown and prospered. Settlers drained wetlands to make way for cities and farms, and loggers felled towering pines, which they ﬂoated down the rivers to become houses, boats and stables. During the 1970s, a wave of environmentalism swept through the U.S. and, in years since Movers & the then, we’ve mostly towed the line, Shakers maintaining roughly 50% of the Angie Hong original wetland and forest acreage in our state to support a vibrant culture and economy of tourism, hunting and outdoor recreation. What, though, became of the prairie? Today, a mere 250,000 acres of native prairie remains in the state of Minnesota. It is a little more than 1% of the total that once covered the land. As the prairie has vanished, so too we have seen the decline of native bees, butterﬂies, grassland birds and, in many places, clean water. But, there is still a spark of hope. Over the past 15 years, a new wave of environmentalism has swept the state – much of it focused on individual action and locally led

meadow rue, butterfly weed and creeping sedum. Another nearby project to visit is the “Butterfly Sanctuary” at Pine Point Regional Park, which contains 14 acres of prairie planted with 2000 butterfly host and nectar plants. The butterfly-friendly planting was a partnership between Pollinator Friendly Alliance, Washington County Parks, Washington Conservation District, Monarch Joint Venture and Wild Ones. Next month, Pollinator Friendly Alliance will hold its annual POLLI*NATION FESTIVAL on Sunday, Aug. 25, from noon-6 p.m. at Kieran’s Kitchen in Minneapolis (1404 Marshall Street), with proceeds dedicated to building a new sanctuary for the Rusty-Patched Bumblebee, a federally-listed endangered species. The event will include food and drink, music and dance, stilt walkers, art and science interactives, honey, butterflies, bees and games. Tickets and more info at pollinationfest.eventbrite.com.

change. People have come to realize that their backyards, whether large or small, can be part of the solution. The Pledge to Plant led by West Metro Water Alliance, Metro Blooms, Wild Ones, Blue Thumb and Monarch Joint Venture, calls on Minnesotans to plant 10,000 native gardens for pollinators and clean water by the year 2020. Pollinator Friendly Alliance, a citizen-led organization th at got its start in Washington County, has also worked with cities and counties in recent years to pass resolutions to increase habitat and eliminate the use of systemic insecticides.

TIF DISTRICT: Council takes first steps toward studying the possibilites FROM PAGE 1

district at least 30 days prior to the public hearing date. Three criteria for establishing a TIF district require the district to be defined as blighted, a project that can’t be afforded without financial assistance and a project that benefits the entire community and not just the developer. Exploring whether to establish the TIF district in Block 7 came about because a developer approached the city about developing a portion of Block 1-8 using TIF dollars from the city. Trident Development, LLC of St. Cloud has proposed to construct multi-family dwellings consisting of 53 housing units within a three-story building. Other components include retail enterprises, surface parking and detached bays. The project is proposed to rent at market rate with an affordable component. Market rates are currently in the $1,400-$1,500 per month range for a one-bedroom rental, and affordable rates are in the $900-$1,000 range. The proposed site is on vacant, city-owned at Centerville Road between Sorel Street and Heritage Street. The total cost of the project is approximately $9.5 million, said Trident Development Vice President Patrick Brama. At the request of the developer, the project would be aided by a tax investment from the city of $1.3 million over 20 years, collected as tax increment and paid on a pay-as-you-go basis. With “pay-go” assistance, the developer and the city would determine the costs that qualify for public reimbursement. The developer would then spend its own money to finance the upfront costs of the land ac-

quisition and site improvements and provide evidence of the costs to the city. The city would then issue a TIF revenue note to reimburse those costs. This type of “pay-go” assistance does not represent a general obligation of the city. The establishment of a TIF district would allow the city to capture the increase in property taxes generated from the project (the “tax increments”) for a limited number of years (20), based on the developer’s request. The city may limit the duration to less than 20 years. The maximum life of the TIF district allowed by state law is 26 years. As it stands now, preliminary terms of assistance for further consideration also include a reimbursement of a maximum of $1.3 million of TIF eligible project costs (an estimated $350,000 for the land and $950,000 for site improvements). The estimated average annual tax increment collected from the project for the life of the TIF district is approximately $110,000, or a future value of approximately $2.2 million. The city would retain 5% of the tax increments collected to cover administrative costs for the TIF district. Council Member Russ Koski wondered how TIF would benefit the community and not just the developer. “So, we put up an apartment building and don’t see tax revenue benefit from it for 20 years. How does this benefit the city, especially with increasing costs to have 150 more people who need sewage, storm water, road maintenance, more public safety, more people attending elections and another public works person? All the while we’re not getting additional revenue,” he wondered. “It’s true – for 20 years the city collects no tax-

es,” City Administrator Mark Statz said. “But the customers are there and they will pay the franchise, storm, sewer and water bills, along with all the connection fees. The people are contributing. But, yes, extra costs like elections will chew up General Fund resources without taxes to account for those people,” he said. If all the formalities for establishing a TIF district are met, the TIF district is scheduled to be certified by June 30, 2020. Contingent on the TIF District being established, the city may then enter into a development agreement with the developer with specific terms for tax increment financial assistance. “I really like the idea of getting this project going and done — and TIF spurs it,” said Council Member Michelle Lakso. “When you look back 20 years there’s nothing there, but when you look ahead there’s something there.” “The power of TIF means you see rooftops, rooftops – a density of rooftops,” Brama said. Having all those rooftops means the city might attract commercial enterprises such as Caribou Coffee and others interested in setting up in Centerville, Mayor Jeff Paar said. “It’s not my first TIF go-round,” Paar said. “I was opposed to (an earlier TIF proposal) because it wasn’t a “pay-go”. The city was subject to much more risk with the previous TIF proposal, he said. “I’m still not a big TIF person . . . but I like this project.” “I would like more info. For tonight, we’re looking to just initiate the process and call for a public hearing — if you’re ready for that. It is not to approve a TIF,” Paar said.

Minimize dust while renovating Even though dust is ever-present both inside and outside of a home, when renovations are in full swing, dusty conditions are often exacerbated. Whether a home is new or old, numerous substances can be stirred up when removing walls, reďŹ nishing ďŹ‚oors, removing tile, or expanding living spaces. These include silica from drywall, lead, asbestos, paint particles, and even waste from bugs or rodents. Homeowners who want to remodel with minimal construction debris ďŹ‚oating through the air â€” both for health purposes and general cleanliness â€” may ďŹ nd these proactive steps helpful. â€˘ Prepare dust-containment plans. If a contractor is involved, it is often his or her responsibility to minimize dust. Do-it-yourselfers must make dust containment a priority. Protecting the ďŹ‚oor and keeping the dust conďŹ ned only to work areas can be achieved with plastic sheeting and other barriers. â€˘ Designate an entrance and exit. The experts at This Old House say it is best to choose one doorway as the only means in and out of a work area. Ideally, this doorway should lead to the outdoors. All other doorways should be sealed on both sides. â€˘ Remove extraneous items. Itâ€™s best to remove clutter from the room, including any furniture that can be taken out of the space.

This helps items from becoming dirty and hazardous particles from settling into nooks and crannies. â€˘ Close vents and registers. If forced air systems are part of the home, itâ€™s best to divert air away from the work area. Block vents and intake registers so that dust does not clog the system or transfer to other rooms. â€˘ Cut items outside. Design advice site Houzz says that some power tools have vacuum extractors to suck up dust at the point of contact, removing 90 percent of dust where it is generated. For those who do not have access to these tools, cutting and sanding can be done outdoors to keep dust outside. â€˘ Open a window. If weather permits, an open window can provide ventilation. Another idea is to create an air vacuum in the work area. Picking a window at the far end of the work area and mounting a window fan blowing outward can suck dust out and away from other areas of the house. â€˘ Clean up daily. By keeping on top of dust, including sweeping and vacuuming the work area frequently, dust will not accumulate and migrate elsewhere. Dust is a common side effect of home renovation projects, but it can be minimized.

BONDS: Proposed updates at all schools FROM PAGE 1

per year, according to board documents. For a $1 million commercial building, it would be about $1,300. The tax rate would increase from about 25 to 35 percent. The bond increase would begin in January 2020 and stay level to 2044. The biggest line items are the expansion of North Campus at about $179 million and a new elementary school in Hugo, at $43 million. The district plans to spend about $17.1 million renovating Sunrise into a new District Center. New classroom and media center furniture for the whole district is expected to cost about $13.6 million. Renovations to South Campus to become a middle school would cost about $13.2 million.

Included in the bond referendum is a $6 million line item to purchase about 21 homes near North Campus; the land isn’t needed to expand the school but could be used for parking and playing fields. Homeowners that had requested their homes be removed from the plans were disappointed that the line item was included. The district has said that it would only buy homes if homeowners are interested in selling them. The board has indicated it does not want to use eminent domain. However, homeowners that already told the district they don’t want to sell their homes were concerned that the $6 million was still included in the plans to buy homes. “How can they come in and say we want to buy your homes when we don’t want to sell them?” questioned resident Kathy Greene. Peg Vadnais noted that even though the current board doesn’t want to use eminent domain, a future board could. The board won’t be the same in 10 years when the plans are to be finished, she said. Vadnais also expressed

concern about what the neighborhood would look like if some people sell and some don’t; would there be vacant lots or rentals as individual homes are bought? “Our land is part of our family legacy,” she added. Her father built her home with a team of horses in the 1940s. Board Chair Don Mullin said the high school plans could proceed without buying the homes. “I just feel like you say it isn’t going to be the way it goes, but we got letters with our names on them,” said resident Mary Ryan. She said residents had a one-hour meeting with Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak but he apparently “heard very little of what we said.” Kazmierczak said as long as he is around, he will work to hold other boards to the standard of not using eminent domain. “We want to work with our neighbors if they want to sell their property and if they don’t want to sell their property, we want to work with them to ensure a smooth transi-

tion into what the future will hold for the neighborhood,” he said. It could be decades before the district buys enough homes for parking and playing fields for the school, he noted. Board member Deb Beloyed said the committee took into consideration what is best for the entire district when they decided North Campus could be the site for a new high school. Students from the north shouldn’t have a 25-minute commute to high school in the winter, she said. Board member Ellen Fahey said expanding North Campus is financially responsible because it reuses a building rather than constructing a new one. “We can do this without acquiring any houses,” she said. The district has been upfront about its interest in buying homes nearby before the bond passes, she added. She hopes the community supports the bond for the education of students. “I do understand the anxiety,” she said to the homeowners.

Local teacher wins Duluth five-miler Centennial shortstop moving on to SEC baseball with Missouri BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Clare Kazmierczak is accustomed to high finishes in road races of all distances. But finishing fi rst in a group of several hundred runners recently was pretty special. The 42-year-old White Bear Lake teacher was the women’s champion in the 48th annual Park Point Five-Miler in Duluth on July 18. Her time was 34 minutes and four seconds on a flat course in 87-degree heat. “I don’t remember the last time I won a race. I wasn’t expecting this,” she said. “I was thinking maybe top five or top 10, so to win was really a surprise.” The runners endured heat unusual for Duluth. Kazmierczak said her main strategy was running through as many sprinklers as she could. She finished 37 seconds ahead of the female runner-up in a total field of 626 runners. The men’s winner was Nick Nygaard of St. Michael in 26:27. It was Kazmierczak’s fi rst time running this five-miler, which is hosted by the Grandma’s Marathon organization. She has previously run their other races — the marathon (“at least a half-dozen times”), the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, and the William Irvin 5K. Two career highlights came in 2011, when she placed seventh the Bjorklund half-marathon with 1:21:37 and notched her personal-best marathon of 2:41 in Phoenix. Last September, she placed 31st of 630 women in the Jeff Winter Memorial City of Lakes Half Marathon in Minneapolis. Kazmierczak was a cross country and track athlete at Chisago Lakes High School and North Dakota State University. “I’ve been running for 27 years. I started running road races at age 15,” said Kazmierczak, a mother of three who teaches English as a Second Language.

Lino Lakes Legion goes 2-2 in playoffs Lino Lakes Legion baseball won two of four games in the sub-state tournament last week and finished the season with an 18-8 record. Lino Lakes beat Chisago Lakes 10-0 in five innings with T. J. Harmon throwing the shutout. They lost to Stillwater 4-3 as Gavin Zurn of the Ponies blanked them for six innings. Lino Lakes scored three in the seventh against relievers. In the third round, Lino Lakes beat Forest Lake 7-5, then were ousted by Tri-City Maroon 12-2. Bruce Strand

Dalton McNamara is the rare athlete who committed to a Division I program before he even made the varsity lineup in high school. The 2019 Centennial graduate — recruited by University of Missouri after playing in a Prep Baseball Report tournament in Indiana in 2017 — officially joined the Tigers by spending the last four weeks on the campus. “The coaches can’t coach us yet, but we were working out, taking classes, getting introduced to the program,” said McNamara, reached Friday while the 5-11, 170-pound shortstop was heading home from Columbia, Missouri. McNamara helped the Centennial VFW team win the state championship in 2016 after his freshman year of high school. As a sophomore, he was still playing on the Cougar junior varsity. “I thought I could have been on varsity, but our coach felt we had better middle infielders,” McNamara said. That summer, he attended PBR tryouts in Minnesota, and was picked for a team of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin prospects to display their skills at the Indiana tournament. “There were about 250 college and pro scouts watching,” he said. Among them was a recruiter for Missouri who was impressed by McNamara and let him know the Tigers had a spot for him. McNamara verbally committed that fall and signed his national letter of intent last November. As a Cougar varsity rookie his junior year for coach Rollie Goertzen, McNamara had a spectacular season, batting .578 at 37-for-64 with a homer, two triples, six doubles, 24 runs and 16 runs-batted-in. Then he slipped to .316 his senior year with the Cougars. “My first year, nobody knew who I was, and I was getting good pitches to hit,” said McNamara, who bats left and throws right. “This year, I wasn’t getting good pitches and started trying to do too much. But I made some adjustments and picked it up at

the end of the year.” McNamara played for the Minnesota Blizzard, a club team, for five years. He suited up for both Blizzard and VFW during the championship season, but did not play VFW or Legion ball after that. About playing for the club team instead, he said, “You play about the same number of games, but you get a lot more exposure to colleges.” At Missouri, McNamara thinks he’s joining a college team on the upswing. The Tigers were 34-22-1 this season, including 13-16-1 in the daunting Southeastern Conference (SEC), in their second year under Steve Bieser, who was hired after winning three Ohio Valley Conference titles with Southeast Missouri State. “Bieser turned the program around at Southeast Missouri, and at Missouri, he’s got all the right tools and a lot more resources,” said McNamara, who plans to major in sports management. “I think we’re going to be pretty good.” McNamara is especially pleased to have a chance to play in the SEC, which produced four of the eight entrants in this year’s College World Series. “The SEC is the best conference in the country,” he said. “If you can make it there your chances of going pro are a lot better.”
