To: DMCC Executive Board Members
From Dale Martinson, DMCC Assistant Treasurer
Date: January 26, 2022
RE: Request for 2021 Budget Encumbrance
I have reviewed the request made by the DMC EDA to carry forward budget authorization from
the 2021 budget into the 2022 operating year. This request is to complete two projects related
to the study/development of a downtown district energy system (DES) as I identified in their
2021 work plan. The DMC EDA has negotiated work with Darcy Solutions and Underground
Energy for geothermic test wells and a study of Rochester’s aquifer as an energy store.
Estimated costs of the geothermal wells by Darcy Solutions is $20,000 and the aquifer study by
Underground Energy is $62,000 for a total encumbrance request of $82,000.
Since the above-noted work was started in 2021 and was a part of the 2021 work plan, as well
as the fact that the DMC EDA will have more than $400,000 remaining unspent from their 2021
budget to cover this encumbrance, I support their request.

MEMO
To: Dale Martinson, Assistant Treasurer, DMC Corp.
From: Patrick Seeb, Executive Director, DMC EDA
Date: 01/24/2022
RE: Request for 2021 Budget Encumbrance
The 2021 DMC EDA work plan approved by the DMC Corp. board of directors and Rochester City Council
included an objective to “complete 9 projects identified in Phase 1 of Strategic Energy Project Plan and
begin work on Phase 2 projects.” One of the nine projects described in the Strategic Energy Project Plan
is the development of a downtown district energy system (DES). The DES will replace aging
infrastructure at several publicly owned downtown buildings and, with $1.8 million in DMC CIP funding,
include capacity for up to 500,000 s.f. in new private development.
In November 2021, the DMC EDA began DES-related negotiations with two technical services firms:
Darcy Solutions: Darcy Solutions will oversee the drilling of two geothermal test wells, which are
intended to determine the feasibility of geothermal power as an energy source for the proposed
district energy system. The test well analysis is expected to cost $20,000.
Underground Energy: Underground Energy will conduct an analysis of downtown Rochester’s
aquifer to determine if the aquifer can serve as an asset for retaining geothermal energy
generated by the proposed district energy system. The analysis will determine whether the local
aquifer can feasibly and economically serve as a store of geothermal energy. Additionally, the
analysis will provide the DMC EDA, DMC Corp., and City of Rochester with CAPEX and OPEX
estimates. The total cost of this analysis is $62,000.
The scopes of work have been finalized and the DMC EDA is requesting that the DMC Corp. board of
directors approve a 2021 operating budget encumbrance of $82,000 in order to pay for these services.
Funds remain available in the 2021 budget to cover these costs: as of December 31, 2021 DMC EDA
operating budget expenses paid by the DMC Corp. totaled $1,796,280.30, or 80% of the approved $2.24
million 2021 budget.

RE: December 2021 DMCC Budget Summary
The attached budget summary of operating activity through December of 2021
reflects total year-to-date DMCC operating expenditures of $2,064,085 of the
$2.5 million approved 2021 budget. The remaining amount unspent represents
18% of the total budget with one payment application outstanding of $63,508 and
a few remaining bills yet to receive before final close.
The second and third pages of this summary provides a listing of DMCC
authorized capital projects managed by the City of Rochester. We have tried to
categorize the project spend in accordance with program budgets.
Approximately $20.9 million has been spent on these projects through December
of this year with the majority spent on Heart of the City, Discovery Walk, North
Broadway and Rapid Transit activity. Total life-to-date expenditures on these
projects is just under $84.7 million.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Re: Destination Medical Center
February 15, 2022 Report
Dear Senators, Representatives, Commissioners and Chairs:
On behalf of the Destination Medical Center Corporation (the “DMCC”) and the City of
Rochester (the “City”), we are pleased to submit this report on the progress of the Destination
Medical Center initiative, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.40 – 469.47 (the
“Act”).
As we look back on the year 2021, the value of the Destination Medical Center (“DMC”)
initiative is more clear than ever: this model public-private partnership proved resilient enough to
help meet the continuing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as providing a
meaningful foundation for the years 2022 and beyond.
We are particularly proud to report that from 2013 through 2021, the collective efforts of
Mayo Clinic and other private entities exceeded $1 billion in qualified private investments.
Specifically, in 2021, we certified a total of $144,101,481.33 for the year ending December
31, 2020, which includes $60,341,258.46 in Mayo Clinic investments and $83,760,222.85 in other
private investments. The cumulative total of Mayo Clinic and other private investments through
2020, is $1,106,896,136.12. The City of Rochester has contributed $54,132,085.87 in certified
expenditures from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2020.
In addition to these secured investments, there are more than a dozen projects either
proposed or under construction, the majority of which are private investments with no direct DMC
public assistance. Approved DMC public infrastructure projects have created construction jobs
that generate median wages of more than $39 per hour, plus benefits.
In 2021, much focus was given to continue the DMCC priorities:
Discovery Square: Discovery Square is a sixteen-square-block area in the Development
District and is the cornerstone of the DMC economic development strategy. As a live,
work, and play environment, it has become a hub of biomedical research, education, and
technology innovation.
One Discovery Square, an 89,000 square foot building designed to support the
acceleration and translation of the most promising health-related therapies and
technology, is a key component to the continued development of the Discovery Square
subdistrict innovation ecosystem. It was completed and opened in 2019, and is currently
at 100 percent capacity as a home to several leading local and global health care
companies.
Two Discovery Square represents the expansion of DMC’s health care innovation
campus. It is currently under construction. It is a 125,000 square foot bioscience building
that will feature tech-forward tenant spaces designed with flexible lab capacity and
leading-edge technology. Project completion is scheduled for January, 2022.
Discovery Walk is a four-block linear parkway along 2nd Avenue SW that will serve
pedestrians and vehicle traffic while also serving as a catalyst to future private
18

development in Discovery Square. The project has been approved, and construction will
commence in early 2022, with completion scheduled for 2023.
Heart of the City Phase 1 – Peace Plaza: Heart of the City creates a true center of the
City, where Mayo Clinic, commercial, hospitality, retail, and residential meet. Restoration
of Peace Plaza public space and adjacent streets and alleys has been in the planning
stages for several years. It is a transformative project that includes improved safety,
accessibility, universal design elements, sustainability, integrated art and improved
infrastructure. A specific “Business Forward” Strategy was developed to support and
respond to business needs during construction. Additionally, efforts were made to allow
access to and accommodation of businesses operating adjacent to the construction site.
The construction schedule was also accelerated to ensure that construction activities do
not unnecessarily inhibit the resumption of normal commerce and public events as the risk
presented by the COVID-19 pandemic recedes. Phase 1 of this project was substantially
completed in 2021. A post-occupancy evaluation planned for 2022 is expected to inform
future DMC public space and infrastructure development.
Mobility: A forward-thinking transportation plan is integral to DMC’s success. With the
2019 selection of the locally preferred alternative for route and mode of the transit line and
an additional emphasis on creating transit villages, the City, Olmsted County (the
“County”), the DMCC and the Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency
(the “EDA”) worked together to submit a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Small Starts
Grant application. We are pleased to report that the project received a Medium-High rating
from the FTA Capital Investment Grants Program, and was included in the President’s
proposed federal budget. If successful, the federal grant will support an approximately
three-mile bus rapid transit (“BRT”) route that will run from the west transit village in
northwest Rochester to downtown Rochester via 2nd Street SW, with seven station stops
along the route. This BRT route, which will feature energy-efficient electric buses, is
expected to be the first phase of a more extensive transit circulator. At the Mayo Clinic
Hospital Saint Marys Campus Station, a transit center will be built, along with a pedestrian
tunnel connecting the hospital and transit center. The proposed BRT was re-branded in
2021 to “Link” rapid transit. DMC analyses of the transit route and mode, transit villages,
and transit stops indicate that significant economic development opportunities will be
created by this transit project and already there are several private development projects
proposed along the rapid transit corridor. This was studied further in 2020 with the creation
of the “New Rapid Transit For A Growing, Equitable Rochester,” a transit-oriented
development (“TOD”) study. Additionally, the City has established bike- and car-sharing
programs, piloted scooter-sharing, and marketed the services offered by the “Arrive
Rochester” transportation management association.
Accessing DMC Funding: A particular focus of the City and DMCC has been on ensuring
that the local economy in the DMC development district is provided assistance and
support. To that end, a funding application process for small and medium development
projects has been approved and will be launched in 2022, to assist small and medium
business owners and to aid in economic recovery and downtown retail revitalization, all
consistent with the DMC initiative.
COVID-19 Economic Recovery: Once the COVID-19 pandemic started, all of our partners,
the City, the County, Mayo Clinic and the EDA recognized that we needed to pivot, to try
to address the new challenges presented by the pandemic in order to blunt the harshest
economic impacts of the pandemic and best position Rochester to lead southeastern
19
February ___, 2022
Page 5
Minnesota’s post-pandemic economic recovery. Last year HR&A Advisors were engaged
to perform a COVID-19 impact analysis to assess dual crises: the unprecedented global
health emergency and the steepest job loss on record. To address some of the findings
contained in that analysis, including recommendations to support economic diversification,
the creative re-use of underutilized commercial space, and the proactive support of private
development, the EDA collaborated with the City on a DEED Main Street Grant Economic
Revitalization Program Application, to be used for capital projects only, with priority going
to BIPOC applicants and to properties that are vacant. The grant of $3.12 million was
awarded to the EDA, and requires a 70% match from other sources. The application
process and scoring criteria are currently being developed.
2022 Budget: In 2021, the DMCC approved a budget, in which the City concurred, that
reflects the strategic priorities for 2022, which include: transportation, public realm, housing,
workforce, transformative projects and sustainability.
This report will provide a brief background of Destination Medical Center and then provide
the responses required by the Act.
I. Destination Medical Center: Background.
A. Private Investment Leads the Public Investment.
The Act required that private investment lead the way for this private-public model of
partnership: over $200,000,000 in Mayo Clinic and other private investment had to occur before
any state funding would begin to flow. That threshold was met, and exceeded, in 2017.
B. Development Plan.
One of the primary goals of the Act was the adoption of a Development Plan. In
September 2013, the DMCC established specific goals and objectives for the Development Plan:
to create a comprehensive strategic plan, and over the life of the project, to stimulate over $5
billion in private investment that will be supported by $585 million in public funds, create 35,000-
45,000 new jobs, generate $7.5 billion to $8.5 billion in net new tax revenue, and achieve the
highest quality patient, visitor and resident experience.
The Development Plan is the strategic framework for the Destination Medical Center
initiative, establishing a comprehensive business and economic development strategy. It
addresses several items, including land use, transportation and infrastructure planning, market
research, funding priorities, business and economic development and market strategies. Upon
making the findings set forth in the Act, including finding that the City had approved the
Development Plan, the DMCC adopted the Development Plan on April 23, 2015. The Act requires
that the Development Plan be updated not less than every five years. The “Five-Year Update”
was approved by the City and by the DMCC in 2020, and is more fully described below.
C. Mission Statement.
The DMCC’s mission statement provides a framework to guide its work:
With Mayo Clinic at its heart, the Destination Medical Center (DMC) Initiative is the catalyst
to position Rochester, Minnesota, as the world’s premier destination for health and
20
February ___, 2022
Page 6
wellness; attracting people, investment, and jobs to America’s City for Health and
supporting the economic growth of Minnesota, its bioscience sector, and beyond.
D. Website.
The DMCC’s website is: www.dmc.mn. The website contains the regular meeting
schedule, meeting agendas, minutes and other information on DMCC activities, as well as project
updates, investor and developer information, subdistrict descriptions, market research, and
ongoing activities of the EDA. The City’s website, www.rochestermn.gov, also has a link to the
DMCC website.
II. Specific Elements Required to Be Included in the Report.
The Act requires that certain elements be included in this annual report. Some of what is
presented here has been referenced above.
A. “The Development Plan and any proposed changes to the Development Plan.”
The Development Plan was initially adopted on April 23, 2015, and amended in 2016 and
in 2020 to modify the Destination Medical Center Development District, the geographic area in
the City of Rochester in which public infrastructure projects are implemented to support DMC.
The Act requires that the Development Plan be updated not less than every five years.
As noted above, the Five-Year Update was posted publicly and a public hearing was held in 2020.
Pursuant to the statutory requirements, the City approved the Five-Year Update, and
subsequently the DMCC adopted it as well. The Development Plan and the Five-Year Update
can be found at the DMCC website: www.dmc.mn.
B. “Progress of projects identified in the Development Plan.”
According to the Act, a project must be approved by the DMCC before it is proposed to
the City. The DMCC must review the project proposal for consistency with the adopted
Development Plan. Since the adoption of the Development Plan on April 23, 2015, several
projects have been approved by the DMCC.
1. Completed Projects.
There have been multiple completed projects since the adoption of the
Development Plan, ranging from the Chateau Theatre, hotels, housing and
commercial and office space. The list of complete projects can be found at Exhibit
A.
2. Projects Underway.
Discovery Walk: Design development is underway for this four-block linear
parkway, and construction will begin in 2022. This public realm space provides
the linkage between Mayo Clinic and the Discovery Square projects.
Two Discovery Square: This expansion of the DMC bio-medical, research and
technology innovation campus is a keystone to the DMC economic development
strategy and is contemplated to be a 125,000 square foot building. Like One
Discovery Square, this new construction will support emerging entrepreneurs and
21
February ___, 2022
Page 7
innovators across health industry sectors. The groundbreaking occurred in 2020,
and is on track to be completed in 2022.
Riverfront Reimagined: Following a City-initiated small area plan study for a 60+
acre area, located southeast of the downtown core on the Zumbro River, the City
issued a request for proposals from qualified teams to lead a community process
to develop a plan to link this “front door” to the river to a gateway into downtown.
The plan is intended to guide the transformation of the redevelopment area to a
future mixed-use neighborhood.
Bryk Project: The Bryk Project is a mixed-use, mixed-income apartment building
consisting of 180 workforce housing apartments, providing rent at varying levels.
Construction began in 2021, and completion is expected by Fall, 2022.
Mobility: Rochester Rapid Transit, re-branded in 2021 to “Link” rapid transit, is an
approximately three-mile bus rapid transit (“BRT”) route that, in its first phase, will
run from a west transit village to downtown Rochester with seven stations. As
noted, DMCC and the City approved the submission of a grant application to the
Federal Transit Administration, seeking 49% of the capital costs, with the
remaining portion to be paid by DMC State and County Transit Aid. The project
received a Medium-High rating from the FTA, and was included in the President’s
proposed federal budget.
There are several other projects underway, in the initial stages of planning, or expected to
come to fruition in 2022. The status of these projects will be reported in a future annual report.
In addition to the approved projects noted above, the DMCC and the City have approved
a Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) for public infrastructure projects for 2022. Projects identified
in the CIP are categorized as follows: Public Realm, Strategic Redevelopment, Streets and
Sewers, and Mobility.
Public Realm Projects include:
Heart of the City
Discovery Walk Design and Implementation
Discovery Walk Phase 2 – Soldiers Field Park
Chateau Theatre Improvements
Streets and Sewers Projects include:
Downtown District Energy System
Block 6 Ramp – Roadway Improvements
Downtown Sidewalk Experience Enhancements
Mobility Projects include:
Arrive Rochester Implementation
Rapid Transit Implementation
The DMC-funded projects above are only a portion of the number and type of public and
private development projects in the DMC district. Early strategic DMC investments in public
infrastructure and commercial and residential projects successfully established Rochester as a
destination for investment and development. Other projects, which are now proceeding without
the need for public DMC support, include workforce and market-rate housing, extended stay
22

Page 8
hotels for patients and companions, renovations to historic properties, world-class medical care
and research facilities, co-working space, small business improvements, and more.
C. “Actual costs and financing sources, including the amount paid under Minnesota
Statutes Section 469.47, and required local contributions of projects completed in the previous
two years by the DMCC, City, Olmsted County and Mayo.”
The Act requires that an annual certification of private investment by Mayo Clinic and other
private investors be made to DEED by April 1 of each year, and DEED must certify that
$200,000,000 of private investment has been made before any state funding may be paid. This
threshold was met and exceeded in 2017. The cumulative total amount of private and Mayo Clinic
certified investments to date is $1,106,896,136.12.
In compliance with Minnesota Statutes Section 469.47, attached is the annual certification
of Mayo Clinic and other private investment that was submitted to DEED on March 23, 2021, and
the revised annual certification of City expenditures, which was submitted to DEED on May 5,
2021 (Exhibit B). DEED conducted its own audit process of the certified expenditures, requested
revisions, and then approved the expenditures. The DEED certifications, dated June 11, 2021,
are attached (Exhibit C).
In addition, we offer the following information:
1. Through December 31, 2021, State Infrastructure Aid in the amount of
$68,384,980.36 has been received. No State Transit Aid has been received.
2. Actual costs paid by the City from commencement through December 31,
2021 have totaled $73,156,419.92, based on year-end unaudited costs. The
funding source was initially City internal borrowing, which is being repaid, along
with the costs for new projects and initiatives, by the City’s 0.25% DMC sales tax.
The City has also issued capital debt for a new parking ramp in the district. Just as
the Mayo Clinic investments and other private investments have underscored the
commitment to DMC, so too have the City contributions.
3. Through December 31, 2021, Olmsted County has contributed
$13,500,000.
4. The 2022 combined operating and capital improvements budget for the
DMCC totals $62,594,888, a portion of which (approximately $20 million) is being
paid for with funding other than DMC funds. Of this amount $3,000,000 will be
provided by Olmsted County from its 0.25% sales tax. The remaining amount is to
be provided by the City of Rochester from a variety of City funding sources,
including its 0.25% DMC sales tax. In addition, Mayo Clinic has pledged financial
and in-kind funding to the EDA in the amount of $1,411,390.
D. “Estimated costs and financing sources for projects to be started in the next two
years by the DMCC, City, Olmsted County and Mayo.”
The Development Plan sets forth a framework and examples of projects that may be
considered for funding in the next several years. Each project will be approved on an individual
basis. See also the response to “B” and “C,” above.

Commissioner

1st National Bank Building
332 Minnesota Street, Suite E-200
Saint Paul, MN, 55101-1351
Dear Commissioner Grove:
Attached with this letter is Mayo Clinic’s certification of qualified expenditures of the medical business entity
for the Destination Medical Center (DMC) initiative from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020. The amount
of qualified investment is approximately $60.3 million. Major projects included the continued modernization of
Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus; many improvements to Mayo Clinic’s downtown Rochester,
Minnesota, campus; and investment in DMC’s Discovery Square life science sub-district.
As in prior years, Mayo Clinic is taking a conservative approach when counting DMC-eligible capital
expenditures, and we remain committed to achieving the long-term DMC development and investment goals.
Overall, we spent more than $300 million on capital projects and equipment in Rochester in 2020. In addition to
our commitment to DMC, these investments included improving our medical tissues archive and purchasing
world-class medical equipment. In total, we will invest more than $1 billion in Rochester facilities and
equipment between now and 2024. Through 2020, our DMC investment totals more than $650 million.
While impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to resume our investment in
major capital projects in late 2020 and added more than one thousand jobs to our Minnesota workforce over the
course of a challenging year. We accomplished this while also contributing to the worldwide efforts to end the
COVID-19 pandemic. I am incredibly grateful to our dedicated and hard-working staff – in Minnesota and
across the globe – who have continued to provide world-class patient care, medical education and research
during this unprecedented time. As Minnesota’s largest employer and largest-ever economic development
initiative, Mayo Clinic and DMC will continue to play important roles in supporting the economic resiliency and
recovery of our state.
We remain committed to collaborating with the state of Minnesota, city of Rochester, Olmsted County and other
stakeholders to strengthen our economy and affirm Minnesota’s position as the world’s premier destination
medical center.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jeff Bolton
Chief Administrative Officer

Dear Mr. Rybak and Mr. Bolton:
Thank you for submitting the 2020 Certification of Expenditures for Destination Medical Center (DMC).
We are excited to assist with this initiative to make the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, and Minnesota a premier
medical destination.
Your certification listed $60,341,258.46 in Mayo Clinic expenditures and $83,760,222.85 in other
expenditures. The Mayo Clinic provided DEED with information on all invoices and payments (more than
9,500 entries) to account for their certification amount. You also provided an independent third party
report from Ernst & Young LLP stating the law and procedures for certifying expenditures are being
followed properly. Additionally, DEED staff reviewed invoices and payments in your certification. We
selected 61 expenditures totaling $3,946,254. We selected one expenditure from each of the 61 new
projects listed. No previous years’ expenses were claimed or reviewed. All invoices for the selected
expenditures were on file and payments were made in a timely fashion. DEED staff also confirmed that
projects had building permits after June 30, 2013. DEED acknowledges the expenses and payments met
guidelines and the internal accounting and auditing system the Mayo Clinic has in place is sufficient.
Additionally, the DMCC and the City of Rochester provided DEED with a list of 36 completed projects for
$21,062,703 in expenditures. DEED randomly selected 10 permits and was provided the permit
application, permit, project closeout, and map of projects. From this information, DEED confirmed the
projects’ values, dates, eligibility, and completion. The city also approved $62,397,519.85 in
expenditures on eight projects that are completed over multiple years. The total 2020 Certification of
other private Expenditures was $83,760,222.85. DMCC contracted with Clifton Larson Allen (CLA) to
complete a review on its Certification to insure it is correct. CLA issued an opinion that the DMCC
certification process was correct.
As required by law, I have determined that the amount of 2020 Destination Medical Center
Expenditures are the $144,101,481.31 as you certified. DMC cumulative Expenditures are now
$1,106,896,136.12. As directed by statute, $200 million is subtracted from this amount to provide
(;+,%,7&
47
Qualified Expenditures of $906,896,136.12. Based on this figure and adequate general aid contributions
from the city, I have determined the City of Rochester has qualified for $24,939,644 of General State
Infrastructure Aid in 2021. As per state statute, this payment will be made prior to September 1.
Thank you again for your efforts on this groundbreaking economic development effort.

Steve Grove

Mayor, City of Rochester
201 4th Street SE – Room 281
Rochester, MN 55904-3708
Dear Mayor Norton:
Thank you for submitting the 2020 Certification of Contributions for Destination Medical Center (DMC).
We are excited to assist with this initiative to make the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, and Minnesota a premier
medical destination.
Your revised 2020 Certification listed $3,585,897.68 in city contributions between July 1, 2013 and
December 31, 2020. You provided a detailed listing of more than 2,000 expenditures. These
expenditures consisted of direct DMC expenses paid by the city as well as DMC Corporation and DMC
Economic Development Authority expenses paid for by the city. From that list, DEED randomly selected
53 expenses for review. We reviewed invoices, payments and city payroll files for accuracy and
eligibility.
Additionally, the city provided DEED with an independent third party report from Clifton Larson Allen
stating the law and procedures for certifying contributions are being followed properly.
The amount of your contributions qualifies you for the annual maximum of $30 million of general aid,
however Qualified Expenditures from Mayo Clinic and others were $906,896,136.12. This amount of
Expenditures reduces the amount of general aid to the city to $24,939,644. Your excess Contributions
will be credited towards future years. We will be providing payment prior to September 1 as mandated
by statute.
Thank you again for your efforts on this groundbreaking economic development effort.

Mobility
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Request of the board of directors:
Support directing staff to advance evaluation and design of project enhancements to return to the Board with:
a) revised project definition
b) revised project budget
c) revised funding strategy
d) revised timeline
Background:
A multi-modal mobility strategy for the DMC has been developed that includes the implementation of a Rapid
Transit Circulator, which is the current focus of DMC’s mobility infrastructure investments.
To ensure the standards articulated by this Board are incorporated in the project, staff has continued to
evaluate the user experience of the system as designed. Staff has identified three main areas where the design
needs to evolve to achieve the experience expectations and optimize Federal funding:
- Station design and pedestrian connections to stations
- The alignment at the eastern terminus of the route
- The potential to add infrastructure needed for the project into the FTA request to share funding
Fulfilling the DMC Vision, Mission, and/or Goals:
To address these opportunities, DMC EDA staff are working in collaboration with City staff and the consultant
team, SRF, and recommend the following project refinements, with a goal of creating a world-class experience
that centers equity of access and foregrounds BRT as a desirable consumer choice.
Current Status:
Below is a summary of each of the identified areas proposed to be evaluated for future addition into the project
scope, budget, and timeline. Staff recommends requesting any additional costs from Federal sources in a revised
FTA application and targeting keeping the local contribution the same.
Revised Project Definition:
1. Enhanced station user experience
• What
o Enhanced station design—especially for protection from weather (12 stations) and quality
materials for durability and sustainability
o Direct vertical access to pedestrian subways (3 stations)
• Why
o Community co-designer and stakeholder group input on station function and finish
o Requirement for patient/visitor/employee experience consistent with existing quality of
service
54
2. Realignment and extension at east terminus
•What
o New station on 6th Street SE, west of 3rd Ave. SE
o Eliminate 1-direction loop by removing 4th Street/S. Broadway Ave from route
o Add westbound station at Library
•Why
o Increase local ridership potential by closer connection to SE neighborhood
o Increase safety for commuters by eliminating the need to cross 4th Street
o Economic development multiplier effect of Rapid Transit and Downtown Waterfront
Southeast small-area plan
o More conventional bi-directional route design along 3rd Ave to 2nd Street SE
3. Expand project definition to include infrastructure investments not part of the original federal Capital
Investment Grant
•What
o Design & construction of a portion (1,400 ft) of the roadway and public parking at West Transit
Village
o Design & construction of extensions to 5th St. SE, 1st Ave. SE and & 6th St. SE
o Bus maintenance bay at PWTOC
•Why
o Opportunity to optimize use of federal funds by including additional infrastructure
investments in project definition now that more detail is known
Next Steps:
−Rochester City Council Study Session
−Public engagement to discuss adjustments
−Advance project design
−Return to DMCC Board and Rochester City Council with updated timeline, budget, and funding strategy
−Revise National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) report
−Submit a revised application to FTA (subject to Rochester City Council approval) to include:
o Design for new project elements
o New total cost estimate
o Revised funding strategy
o Updated project schedule
−Begin process for ROW acquisition and procurement of rolling stock prior to grant agreement

DESTINATION MEDICAL CENTER CORPORATION
RESOLUTION NO. ___-2022
Approving Adjustments to Bus Rapid Transit Application in Federal Transit
Administration’s Small Starts Program
BACKGROUND RECITALS
A. On October 18, 2019, the Destination Medical Center Corporation (“DMCC”)
considered the route alignment and mode for the bus rapid transit project (the “Project”) and
adopted a locally preferred alternative (“Locally Preferred Alternative”) for route and alignment
(2nd Street and Broadway) and mode (bus rapid transit, or “BRT”), subject to approval by the City
of Rochester (the “City”) (Resolution No. 87-2019). The City subsequently approved the Locally
Preferred Alternative on October 21, 2019. The DMCC also adopted a joint staff recommendation
from the City and the Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency (“EDA”), and
approved $3.872 million from the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan for the further design,
engineering, environmental studies, additional analysis and application to the Federal Transit
Administration Small Starts Program (the “FTA Small Starts Program”) for funding of the Project.
On November 12, 2019, the DMCC approved including three Project features – 2nd Street
Reconstruction and Streetscape; Saint Marys Transit Center and Subway Connection; and the East
Parking Ramp – for application through the FTA Small Starts Program and increased the 2020-
2021 budget to reflect an additional $2.343 million, all subject to approval by the City Council
(Resolution 89-2019).
B. By memorandum dated January 28, 2022 (attached, Exhibit A), the City and EDA
staff now recommend that the City and the DMCC authorize evaluation of three enhancements to
the Project (collectively, the “Proposed Project Enhancements”), for potential submission to the
FTA Small Starts Program, namely:
1. Enhanced station design, including weather protection for 12 stations with
quality materials for durability and sustainability and direct vertical access to
pedestrian subways for 3 stations;
2. Realignment with a new station on 6th Street SE, west of 3rd Ave., removing
4th Street/South Broadway Ave. from the route, and adding a westbound station
at the downtown library; and
3. Expanding the project definition in the application to the FTA Small Starts
Program to include infrastructure improvements, including design and
construction of a public plaza area, a portion (1,400 feet) of the roadway,
municipal utilities along this roadway, and public parking at the West Transit
Village, extensions to 5th Street SE, 1st Avenue SE, and 6th Street SE, and a bus
maintenance bay at the Public Works Transit Operations Center.

Staff notes that the Proposed Project Enhancements are expected to adjust the funding and
timeline for the Project and will provide updates as additional information is developed.
RESOLUTION
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Destination Medical Center
Corporation Board of Directors that, subject to approval by the Rochester City Council, it directs
staff to evaluate the Proposed Project Enhancements (enhanced station design, realignment and
extension at the East terminus, and expanding the scope of improvements within the FTA Small
Starts Program application) for further consideration and recommendations for final approval by
the City and the DMCC.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that staff is directed to consider and analyze the impact
of the Proposed Project Enhancements on Project costs, schedule, and the pending FTA Small
Starts Program application, to direct community engagement, and to gather additional information
to assist with final decision making.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the further evaluation, analysis, planning and
recommendations with respect to the Project and the Proposed Project Enhancements, including
recommendations for potential submission to the Federal Transit Administration, are deemed to
be arising from and in furtherance of the Integrated Transit Studies, and the DMCC approves this
work as a public infrastructure project within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes Section 469.40,
subdivision 11, and consistent with the Development Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chair and Vice Chair are authorized to take
such actions as are necessary and appropriate to effectuate the terms of this resolution and the
timely progression of the approval process.

Business Development / Lead Generation
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Request of the board of directors:
No action requested.
Site Selection: Multimarket evaluation of real estate, labor, infrastructure, costs, and government to
determine the best possible location for an investment.
Typical Sources of Site Selection Project Opportunities
• Proactive Lead Generation: 10-20%
o Projects generated through a process of targeted outreach, typically to companies in
specific industry niches, geographies, and stages of growth.
• Company Direct (reactive): 40%-50%
o The company making the investment is conducting their own analysis, they have not
outsourced that responsibility to a Location Advisor. They contact us directly.
• Location Advisors: 25%-30%
o Individuals that specialize in evaluating markets/sites for investment. LA’s typically
approach the process through the perspective of real estate, labor, costs, logistics, or
government.
• In-market Connectors: 20%-30%
o Referrals through affiliated organizations within a market. Typically include real estate
brokers, contractors, major employers, industry associations, and partner economic
development groups (state/regional/international).

61
Action Items
1) Build the business case – IN PROGRESS
a) What it is: A detailed, documented understanding of the various workforce, cost,
demographic, employer, infrastructure, logistic, education, and government factors that
can affect an investment decision.
b) Why it is important: Expanding and relocating companies need to be able to compare
markets to determine which is the most optimal for a specific investment. Having the
data they need readily available will enable DMC to add value throughout this process.
2) Create targeted sales collateral – IN PROGRESS
a) What it is: Marketing materials that translate the business case into a format to which
the expanding or relocating company will respond.
b) Why it is important: The DMC will deliver data and information directly when a
company makes a formal request (RFP/RFI). We need to be able to deliver that same
high-quality data to potential clients outside of a formal recruitment project to entice
them to engage further.
3) Develop key client databases – ONGOING
a) What it is: Contact data, project activity, and marketing outreach for out-of-market
Location Advisors, key company executives, local project referral sources, and any other
individual that can be a source of project activity.
b) Why it is important: Maintaining a record of communication, project activity, outreach,
and results will allow us to document progress, improve the annual program of work,
and measure impact.
4) Create a CRM to manage client and project data – LARGELY COMPLETED
a) What it is: A place to house data on key clients, projects, marketing, outreach and how
these various parts of the overall program intersect.
b) Why it is important: As the program scales, we will need to be able to systematically
understand current and past clients, the effectiveness of various marketing and
outreach programs, and the key parameters of our recruitment activity in order to
continuously improve the effort.
5) Build awareness and harvest leads – ONGOING
a) What it is: Targeted outreach, relationship marketing, and general awareness building
of the DMC mission and trade area.
b) Why it is important: As potential clients and connectors become aware of the DMC
mission they can bring investment opportunities.
6) Manage corporate recruitment projects – ONGOING
a) What it is: The process of nurturing opportunities for investment from inquiry to
announcement by leveraging data, relationships, and making the most compelling case
possible for the DMC trade area.
b) Why it is important: New jobs and investment are a key driver of expanded economic
activity.

Downtown Waterfront
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Request of the board of directors:
No Action Requested.
Background:
The City of Rochester selected urban design firm Gamble Associates, along with collaborators SWA Group, NEOO
Partners and Omloop in fall of 2021 and work commenced in November 2021. Currently the team is finalizing
the community engagement plan and testing initial design concepts.
The City-owned site has the potential to be both a “front door” that faces the river, as well as a gateway into
downtown. Located at the intersection of the Rochester Arts and Culture District and the main street Mixed-Use
District as outlined in the Downtown Master Plan, and in the Destination Medical Center (DMC) district.
The current use of the property is primarily public parking, consisting of a surface parking lot and a four-level
parking ramp. On the south end of the site is a vacant building and October 18, 2021 the City Council voted to
deny this property landmark status. This allows the small area planning to include options for adaptive reuse of
this building without Landmark controls delineating what is or is not possible.
Work on the small area plan has begun by initiating the community engagement efforts to ensure the planning is
rooted in the Rochester community vision.
Fulfilling the DMC Vision, Mission, and/or Goals:
DMC EDA staff worked in collaboration with City staff to select the consultant team, and DMC staff will continue
to participate through the visioning and design process. DMC is particularly focused on the public realm
experience and linkages between this site and the rest of the district.

Housing
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Action for the board of directors:
No Action Requested
Project Update:
1. Construction continues on the Bryk site and is still working toward a fall 2022 completion.
2. DMC EDA Staff planning to provide a housing strategy presentation and discussion to the DMCC Board at the Q2 board
meeting.
Background:
In 2020, the Rochester Housing Coalition in partnership with the DMC EDA, funded a housing study to understand the various
housing needs across the County, City of Rochester and in the downtown. The major take-aways of this study are summarized
below.
• Demand exists in the Olmsted County Analysis Area for the following general occupancy product types between 2020
and 2030:
• Market rate rental: 2,999 units
• Affordable rental: 1,274 units
• Subsidized rental: 762 units
• For-sale single-family: 5,623 units
• For-sale multifamily: 2,017 units
• Total housing need by 2030: 12,675 units
• In addition, there is demand for multiple senior housing product types. By 2030, demand in the Olmsted County
Analysis Area for senior housing is forecast for the following:
• Active adult ownership: 859 units
• Active adult market rate rental: 1,461 units
• Active adult affordable: 1,063 units
• Active adult subsidized: 40 units
• Independent Living: 772 units
• Assisted Living: 738 units
• Memory Care: 477 units
• Total Senior Housing Need by 2030: 5,410 units
• Across both product types, general occupancy and senior housing, there is a market need across Olmsted County for
18,085 housing units by 2030.
Concurrent to the Maxfield Housing study, the City and DMC also created a market demand study for the housing needs for the Bus
Rapid Transit system project to better understand the downtown housing needs as a subset of the larger county-wide housing
market demand. Within the downtown, the Bus Rapid Transit market demand study identified the need for various types and
amounts of housing units in the downtown. *Please note additional data review needs to be conducted to determine progress
against these targets.
• Downtown Transit Study – Housing Market Demand
1,213 affordable and subsidized units for downtown by 2030*
• 674 units at 30% AMI or below
• 224 units at 30% to 50% AMI
o Progress: Bryk Contribution = 54 units at 50% AMI
• 315 units at 50% to 80% AMI
o Progress: Bryk Contribution = 126 total units
18 units at 60% AMI
65
108 units at 80% AMI
With the construction of the Bryk Project, 180 units of downtown affordable housing unit needs are being met, which reduces the
overall need downtown affordable and subsidized market need to 1,033 units. In order to encourage more projects, the City is
leading a request for proposals effort for a parking lot that they own located in the downtown, north of the Mayo Civic Center.
Within the proposal, there was a heavy focus to include affordable housing and perhaps address some of the senior housing needs.
The data below summarized the downtown market rate housing market demand by 2030. *Please note additional data review
needs to be conducted to determine progress against these targets.
• 1,840 market rate units for downtown by 2030*
• 1,472 market rate rental
• 236 multifamily for sale
• 132 single family for sale
Across both product types there is a need for 3,053 general occupancy units. Please note that these totals do not include the senior
housing needs. Applying the same percentages for general occupancy housing units for the downtown in comparison to the rest of
Olmsted County, we can approximate the senior housing needs for downtown across a variety of senior housing types. These are
outlined below.
• 919 downtown senior housing units for downtown by 2030
• Active adult ownership: 147 units
• Active adult market rate rental: 248 units
• Active adult affordable: 180 units
• Active adult subsidized: 9 units
• Independent Living: 128 units
• Assisted Living: 125 units
• Memory Care: 82 units
The downtown housing market demand for market rate units, affordable and subsidized units, and senior housing units by 2030 are
summarized below.
• 1,213 affordable and subsidized units at varying levels of affordability
• 1,840 market rate units of varying type and affordability
• 919 senior housing units of varying type and affordability
• Total: 3,972 housing units needed by 2030 (22% of county-wide housing market demand)
To meet these demands, the DMC EDA has developed a housing strategy within the 2022 workplan.
1. Share market needs and recruit developers to deliver the various housing products needed within the downtown
Real Estate Summit Focused on Housing – Scheduled for May 2022
Prioritized recruitment and developer host visits

District Energy
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Request of the board of directors:
No Action Requested.
Background:
In 2015, DMCC adopted the DMC Development Plan, where the principles of
sustainability planning are interwoven throughout, through an integrated mix
of medium-to-high density uses, integrated live-work environments and green/park space features throughout the
downtown. Subsequent action by the DMCC board further reinforces its commitment energy, environmental
sustainability and the evaluation and strategic pursuit of district energy systems (DES):
• 2015: DMC Sustainability Goals Adoption within DMC Development Plan
• 2015: Sustainable Energy Options Report Accepted by DMCC
• 2016: District Energy System Resolution Passed by DMCC
• 2019: EIC Strategic Energy Project Plan Approval by DMCC
Recognizing the role that a downtown district energy system could have on realizing its energy consumption and
carbon footprint reduction goals, DMCC authorized $2 million in the 2021 and 2022 Capital Improvement Program,
building off prior investment in preliminary engineering studies in 2019 and 2020.
Current Findings:
• Olmsted County’s Waste to Energy Facility Steam Line will be decommissioned in October 2023
• Olmsted County decided to move forward with a building-based heating and cooling system and not participate
in a district energy opportunity
• RPU has created a business plan for the DES including it is anticipated operating costs and utility rates to
customers
• RPU Board supported an approach to construct, operate and maintain a DES pending City Council direction
• Rochester City Council in March 2021 had a study session summarizing the work, progress, and next steps for
the DES opportunity and asked that the City identify options to reduce the first cost and risk associated with
identifying private developments to connect to the system
Next Steps:
• The Project Team identified a pathway to connect the City buildings and create the initial district energy plant
within the Mayo Civic Center using additional space. City Staff will operate the system in its initial stages.
• DMC infrastructure funds are being used to upsize the system’s piping connect 500,000 SF of future private
developments around the government building sites. As more buildings are brough onto the system, a future
DES plant can be placed behind the Civic Center.
• Additional planning will be conducted to connect the system to the South of Downtown Waterfront Site
Development.
• City Staff brought forward a recommendation forward to City Council on May 3rd to move forward with the
design of the initial district energy infrastructure which was accepted.
• Design of the District Energy System has been underway since the spring and the City has been working to
develop the financial approach and various opportunities for the project. Initial cost estimates are above the
project budget, so some scope elements are being augmented to fit the established project budget.
67
• The City of Rochester and DMC EDA partnered on an economic analysis of the district energy system that will
deliver four key findings:
o Relevant to the City, the analysis will compare the economic and environmental benefits of two
outcomes: the City pursuing a building-level solution or a district energy solution
o Relevant to the DMC, the economic case to a private developer to connect including the utility and
environmental costs, and opportunity costs of saving space within a development
o Finally, the economic evaluation will also place monetary value to the environmental outcomes of
the district energy system to account for its environmental benefits and externalities
• Geothermal Feasibility Studies – In collaboration with the City of Rochester, Mayo Clinic, and Olmsted County,
we are conducting two geothermal feasibility studies to understand the energy potential of the aquifer below
Rochester. Two different technologies are being vetted for their suitability to the district energy system design.
• At the 2022 Q2 DMCC board meeting, the DMC EDA staff is planning to present the finalized design and budget
of the system through 50% design development, along with the results of the geothermal and economic
analyses.

Community Co-Design
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Request of the board of directors:
No Action Requested.
Project Update:
In collaboration with the City / Community for Health steering committee, the DMC drafted a Community Co-design
Toolkit to assist other practitioners to learn about the co-design process, its implementation, and ideally adopt it as
a community engagement strategy in the future
Background:
Through discussion with the City/Community for Health Steering Committee, the group identified the need for
broader and deeper community engagement in DMC Projects, particularly with individuals and communities that
had the most to gain from a particular project, program, or initiative. This concept was further developed with the
Steering Committee and created a model for DMC Projects called community co-design, where community
members are hired as consultants to assist with reaching previously underrepresented communities and
perspectives in the Rochester community. As consultants, community co-designers fill two roles. First, they act as
community researchers to better understand the needs of their community and bring a holistic perspective to
influence the design of the project. Second, they participate in design studios to ensure the intent of their
communities’ perspective is carried into the project design.
From piloting this process, the DMC and the City/Community for Health steering committee have found three
important take-aways.
1. Deeper level of engagement with communities
a. The pace, depth, and insight from a co-design process has identified prescient design
requirements from community that have created for inclusive, equitable, and accessible projects.
2. Community cultural, diversity and inclusivity competency
a. By hearing from communities most impacted and historically underrepresented, communication
pathways are established on topics of diversity, equity and inclusion are established and broader
community understanding and empathy among the project team.
3. Community and Individual Capacity Building
a. As a result of participation, individuals and communities learn about public-decision making
processes and project design sequences. As a result of this learning, past co-designers have
pursued new career opportunities.
4. Unique Project Insights
a. Engaging under-represented perspective can offer new and creative guidance and center
communities’ lived experience. This expertise cannot be accessed without directly engaging
those living it.
Looking ahead to 2022, the DMC and Steering Committee are identifying means to methods to share the toolkit,
continue to work with local organizations interested in its implementation, and building local capacity within
facilitators and organizations to deliver community co-design.

Fulfilling the DMC Mission, Vision, and/or Goals:
Equitable development is a key vision of the DMC project as recognized by the DMCC board in late 2020 and
affirmed in 2021. The community co-design process utilizes the concept of human-centered design, which
prioritizes the involvement of individuals and communities that have the most to gain from a program, project or
initiative in public decision-making. This focus on co-designing with people most impacted creates more equitable
policy, programs and projects, and builds collective capacity across our community, and individual capacity for
leadership roles.
Work plan or capital improvement budget implications:
The current DMC work plan describes a variety of initiatives supported by the DMC 2021 operating and CIP funds
to assist development projects broaden their engagement strategies to include members and communities of
Rochester that historically have been excluded from participation.

Equity and Sustainabiliy
To: DMCC Board of Directors
From: DMC EDA
Date: January 28, 2022
Request of the board of directors:
No Action Requested.
Project Update:
• Since the last DMC EDA Board meeting, the interview process was completed with our project
partners from the City of Rochester and Diversity Council. The interview team unanimously
identified Wafa Elkhalifa as the recommended applicant for the Equitable Development
Coordinator position.
• Wafa started at the DMC EDA on January 10, 2022, and we look forward to welcoming her to the
agency and introducing her to our decision-making bodies at an upcoming board meeting.
Background:
• The McKnight Foundation has supported the DMC EDA’s sustainability activities since 2017 in
the sum of $150,000 over two years.
• In 2019, the Foundation, increased their commitment to the EDA’s sustainability programs by
supporting its efforts for another two years, through 2021 in the sum of $185,000 over two
years.
• Toward the end of 2020 and early 2021, the City of Rochester and DMC EDA finalized another
application for McKnight funding through their Climate & Energy Program, and through their
Vibrant and Equitable Communities Program.
o The Climate & Energy Program invited the DMC EDA to apply again for a $185,000 grant
over a two-year period. The DMC EDA prepared an application in collaboration with the
City of Rochester. This funding will help support the following initiatives:
• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Community Plan
• Active Commuter Resource Center: Community Co-Design
• Sustainability and Resiliency Downtown Demonstration Development
• Sustainability and Resiliency Action Plan Implementation
• Staff Support
o In collaboration with the City of Rochester, Diversity Council, the DMC EDA prepared an
application for the Vibrant and Equitable Communities Program in the sum of $154,000
over a 12-18 month period. This funding will help support the hire of an Equitable
Development Coordinator within the DMC EDA to work on the following initiatives:
• Accelerate Economic Mobility: Within this objective, the Coordinator will support
local initiatives that foster economic equity and inclusion and advance ownership
opportunities. This work is critically important to promote the myriad of projects and
initiatives within the City, foster connections, and as possible develop strategies to
form a coordinated approach and strategy to entrepreneurship.

• Cultivate a Fair and Just Housing System: Over the past year, an extensive housing
analysis has shown there is a considerable need for affordable housing within the
DMC District and throughout the region at varied rental and price points. The DMCC
and the City of Rochester have identified affordable housing as a strategic objective.
With the results of the recent market demand studies in hand, the Coordinator will
research housing development models that foster ownership opportunities for BIPOC
communities and identify partners to deliver on the vision.
• Strengthen Democratic Participation: Based on the success of piloted equitable
community engagement approaches coined community co-design, the Coordinator
will work to operationalize this process into DMC infrastructure projects in 2021 and
beyond.
Fulfilling the DMC Mission, Vision, and/or Goals:
Energy and sustainability is a key piece of the DMC principles, development plan and goals for the
project. The DMC EDA team is working to implement a range of projects, programs and initiatives to
realize the ambitious goals included in the DMC Development Plan across a range of impacts including
community health, workplace health, energy, greenhouse gases, water consumption, waste, and
transportation.
Work plan or capital improvement budget implications:
The current DMC work plan describes a variety of initiatives supported by the McKnight Foundation,
