She noted this <br /> could be written into the fee schedule. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the JDA could apply for grants. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated this would typically be done by the City, <br /> the EDA, or the County. <br /> Councilmember Holden inquired why the City would be overseeing the final remediation of <br /> properties and suggested this remain with the County. <br /> Mr. Norton recommended this remain as written as it would assure that developers have properly <br /> met all MPCA requirements prior to any development taking place. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher explained this would not differ from the current <br /> process used by the City. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked why the City would be responsible for jointly requesting <br /> legislative bonding with the County. <br /> Councilmember Holmes was troubled by this language. <br /> Mr. Norton stated the County and the City were partners and the County wanted to be assured <br /> that the City was backing their requests. He indicated the largest expenses for this development <br /> would be the off-site transportation. <br /> Councilmember Holden suggested the "will"be changed to "may". <br /> Mr. Norton commented the intent would be to have the City lobby on behalf of the County to <br /> receive State or Federal bonding. <br />
