a. FAST-TRACK Business Challenge
Updates of FAST-TRACK Challenge were shared. An overview of the EDAM conference and “Program of the
Year” award was provided.
Committee membership was discussed. Stroh offered to remain the point person with Foust for the next few
months. Stratton suggested the Bush Foundation as an opportunity for funding. Foust reported she has been
in contact with the MN Cup as a possible partner for the 2018 event.
Hughes has suggested the categories Gold and Silver sponsorship be further defined. Stroh recommended a
sponsor host the pre-event reception.
Foust will be presenting information on the 2018 FAST-TRACK Challenge at the New Prague and Belle Plaine
EDA meetings over the next month, along with the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce meeting. The next steps
are finalizing the applications and the three minute video.
b. County-Wide Incubator Update.
Foust provided an update on meetings with various cities. The Savage EDA will revist it in April. Shakopee is
supportive of an incubator but expressed a need to expand beyond “technology”. Meetings are scheduled with
the New Prague and Belle Plaine EDAs on February 14th and March 12th, respectively. The sample deck or
PowerPoint was provided to the Board. Foust noted she anticipates there will need to be mo difications to the
plan following city input. McCabe noted the Prior Lake EDA approved the business plan at their February
meeting.
4. New Business
a. Mentor Assignment – iWMS Global – Assignment of a mentor was tabled until the March meeting.
It was noted that iWMS Global may be interested in additional cubical space starting in June, 2018.
Lease Agreements were discussed. The three year term for tenants occupying space in Technology Village
was discussed. It was the consensus of the Board that it should be a three-year cumulative lease versus
continuous lease, if the tenant left in good standing. The Board discussed the ability to make exceptions to
allow a participant to continue on a month-to-month basis, if deemed beneficial, but suggested this may be at
2
market rate lease rates. It was suggested this language be added to new lease agreements. The Board also
discussed the term of lease running with the company name (new incorporation or filing) versus the ownership,
if company is truly different.
5. Updates
a. Technology Village Metric Report – January 2018
Board members reviewed and discussed the January 2018 Metric Report. McCabe provided an overview. He
referenced one new participant starting in January, iWMS Global. Other metrics highlighted included the need
to update the employee county, the occupancy rate of 100%. It was noted web site activity was down in
January, 2018. One Virtual Participant is behind in rent, but has indicated they will be paying.
b. Action Item Update
The Action Item report was included in the packet. Foust summarized recent projects completed. In addition,
it was noted Participants were surveyed regarding their preferred timing for educational meetings, roundtables
and networking. Four participants responded. Most preferred roundtables in morning, with the exception of
ZIET, LLC, who requested late afternoon/evening. The Board felt a networking event may work best in the late
afternoon, allowing more time for participants to share information.
c. Upcoming Meetings/Calendar 2018
A Participant networking session will be held Tuesday, February 20, 2018 from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. An
educational program will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chambers. City staff will video
tape the event. Approximately 30 people have RSVP’d.
Upcoming roundtables will be scheduled for Willwerks, LocalVibe, and Gifthorse. Foust will send dates to the
Board members who serve as their mentors, to coordinate the three.
Future educational programs were discussed. Jones suggested a presentation on bus iness plan development
with a business plan template. McCabe suggested contacting Christine Pigsley who is a professor at Mankato
State and former Open to Business Counselor, as a speaker. Funding options for businesses, including
bootstrapping, venture capital or angel investment funds was also suggested as a topic, by Jones and Braid.
d. Board Member Ideas/Recommendations
The Board briefly discussed the roundtable held on January 24, 2018 with ZIET, LLC.
The Board discussed metrics to ensure participant engagement, such as attendance at educational sessions,
mentor engagement, etc. It was suggested this be added into the agreements for future participants and virtual
participants.

952.496-8830 – jfoust@scottfss.org - www.technologyvillage.net

Proehl and Dave Rech. Present by telephone: Gerry Hughes. Staff present: Community Development Director Casey
McCabe, Business Development Specialist Jo Foust and Open to Business Consultant John Endris. Absent: Patrick Stroh

Meeting Minutes from the February 13, 2018 Board Meeting and February 21, 2018 Workshop session were included for
Board Members’ information. These will be formally acted on at the next Board meeting.
FAST-TRACK Business Challenge. Foust shared updates on the 2018 FAST-TRACK Challenge. The event has been
discussed and the 3 ½ minute video shared at various EDA meetings, SCALE Tech Team meeting, etc. Several
companies have been contacted regarding sponsorship or service provider opportunities. Press releases regarding
sponsorship/service providers have been sent to all area newspapers and Chambers of Commerce. Michael Beach
Consulting has signed on as a Professional Service Provider for the event. Foust will send a list of potential sponsors to
Board Members. If members have contacts they would be willing to follow-up with, they are asked to volunteer to reach out
to those corporations.
A Committee or Technology Village Board point person for the FAST-TRACK was discussed, as Stroh is unable to assist.
Stratton offered to meet with Foust and identifying tasks and assignments for Board Members for the FAST-TRACK
Challenge before the next board meeting. The Board expressed a desire to build on the 2017 event and discussed
bandwidth of Board members to assist in achieving that goal. The group discussed re-evaluating the 2018 event in June.
Proehl noted there are assets to utilize this year including the videos and the EDAM award to help sell the event to
sponsors.

has been lost. The website, which was hosted by Integra, is being rebuilt by City staff, but is currently inoperable.
County-Wide Incubator Update. Foust provided an update on meetings with various cities. Since the last meeting, Foust
met with the New Prague and Belle Plaine EDAs on February 14th and March 12th, respectively. The next step will be to
send a direct mailing to newly incorporated businesses to gather more information on interest in an incubator/accelerator
program and the type of assistance desired; virtual vs. physical space. Jones recommended start with virtual program and
matching mentor skills and areas of expertise with participants from across the county.
Mentor Assignments. Proehl is currently assigned as mentor for two Technology Village participants. In order to balance
mentorship assignments, Stratton volunteered to serve as the mentor to iMWS Americas, LLC. The Board acknowledged
the change in mentorship assignments.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure. Stratton noted he will need to remove himself from any actions or discussions related to
subsidies to Ion Concert Media due to potential corporate funding and possible conflict of interest. He has discussed this
with the City Attorney and City staff and wanted to make the disclosure to the Board as well.

Agenda item 4. a. Marketing Vacancies in Technology Village
On March 1, 2018 two offices and a cubical became available within Technology Village. The following
efforts have been made since this time to market the available space:
Advertising on the Prior Lake Sign
Advertising within the Prior Lake city website news section and City Newswire
Posted on Scott County First Stop Shop Facebook page
An ad will be included in the April/May edition of the Scott County SCENE (page 7)
Post card mailing: We have approximately 125 post cards from the 2017 direct mail advertising
Technology Village. The list of 900 new business filings in Scott County, in 2017, was reviewed
to identify potential technology and professional businesses. Approximately 60 businesses were
identified to send a direct mail post card to, as soon as the Technology Village web site is back in
operation.
11
Agenda item 4. b. Participant Departures – Lessons Learned
Two participants exited from the program in March, 2018.
LocalVibe had been leasing two offices and a cubical within Technology Village. Their lease was
scheduled to expire March 31, 2018. The business vacated on March 1, 2018, as the owner has decided
to relocate to California. The business will continue, with headquarters continuing in Prior Lake and
subcontractors assisting from offices in the twin cities. Information obtained during an exit interview
will be discussed with the Board. Appreciation was expressed for the mentorship and roundtables.
Gifthorse was a virtual participant from April 7, 2017 to March 13, 2018. He has decided to cease
participation in Technology Village.
The Board is asked to discuss lessons learned as we market the physical vacancies in Technology Village
as well as the Virtual Program.
12
Agenda item 4. c. Declaration of Vacancy
As you are aware, Board Member Stroh is temporarily unable to attend Technology Village Board
meetings due to a medical condition. The City Attorney has indicated the Technology Village Board may
follow Minnesota Statutes relating to this temporary vacancy. Per Minn. Stat. 412.02, Subd. 2b, the
Council [Board] can declare a vacancy due to illness, if the member cannot attend for 90 days. It can
then fill the vacancy until the next election OR until the member can serve again.
Action: It is recommended the Board declare a vacancy due to illness. A vacancy temporarily reduces
the size of the Board, which assists in reducing the number of members needed to achieve a quorum.
Board members Stroh will be able to fill the vacancy when he returns.
13
