1). Albertville Friendly City Days Social Event — Discussion

distribute an invitation to the event to the various boards and surrounding cities.
2). City Administrator's Update
Nafstad indicated that Westbridge Community Church had approached staff about bringing a revised
application back to the City Council for reconsideration and plans on doing so at the June 1, 2015
City Council meeting. Sorensen inquired how many times an applicant can bring forth the same or
similar application after going through the Planning Commission and City Council approval process.
Couri explained that a rezoning application cannot be brought back within a year unless certain
criteria are met. In this case, a majority of the Council must find there are changed circumstances
relating to the application or a supermajority of the Council (4/5 vote) must agree to reconsider the
application. Couri indicated that the first question Council will need to consider is not whether to
rezone the property, but whether they should consider reviewing the application again.
Nafstad reported that on behalf of Old Castle Glass, Scannell Properties is pursuing the City's offer
for the City -owned industrial park lot to be a second site for Old Castle. Staff is working with bond
counsel to develop a draft TIF contract and anticipate that Scannell will submit site and building
