that proposals will likely be presented at the HRA's August 16`h Work Session; 2) proposal for the

York Ave) is being prepared. This will likely be presented for approval in August 2016, with
implementation to begin soon after; 3) 66 West Apartments broke ground in July. Developer
continues to seek operational funding. Possible ideas for Edina to provide assistance were
• discussed, but State Law, however, does not allow TIF to be used for operations; 4) Concept plans
to install monument sign at southwest corner of 66`h and York intersection have been completed.
HRA would pay for monument sign and the hotel developer would pay for surrounding landscape
and hardscape; 5) Staff continues to monitor possible special legislative session since Edina's TIF
provision for affordable housing is contained in the Tax Bill; 7) Staff is preparing an RFP for 3930
West 49 '/2 Street; likely issued in mid-August; and 8) Application for new restaurant at Valley
View & Wooddale is anticipated by August.

V. SOUTHEAST EDINA REDEVELOPMENT AREA PLAN — UPDATED
Economic Development Director Neuendorf stated the Grandview 2 Plan for Tax Increment
Financing and the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area Plan had both been distributed because
some minor edits to the Plans had been completed since they were adopted. Mr. Neuendorf
explained the edits consisted of labeling tables and illustrations but no substantive changes had
been made. He said he wanted to ensure the Council had the final form.
