City Attorney Couri explained that Land of Lakes Stone Co./GEM
Development has requested that the $16,750 Park Dedication fee and the $6,960
Trunk Water Line Charge required by the Developer's Agreement be specially
assessed to the property rather than paid directly to the City. City Administrator
Goeb recommended the trunk water line charges be specially assessed but that the
City require immediate payment of the park dedication fees, as the City has many
uses for the park dedication funds now.
Berning made a motion to assess the $6,960 Trunk Water Line Charges to
the Gem Business Park property over a five year period at an interest rate of one
and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) over the bond interest rate and to collect the
$16,750 park dedication fee at the time the plat is released. Gundersen seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Duane Day presented an update on the fire hall building. David Remely, an
architect revising the building plans reviewed the changes discussed with the
building committee. Councilmember Berning suggested that unless there is a cost-
savings to the City, the design should remain as it was originally approved. The
architect will discuss cost savings with the general contractor and report to the
building committee. The final plans will be reviewed by the Building Committee
and a recommendation to the Council will be made.
.
City Engineer reported that a pre-construction conference has been
scheduled for the 62nd Street Improvement Project on August 9th.
