ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—APRIL 30, 2007 7 . C. Motion to Approve the contract dated April 18, 2007 with Ehlers and Associates to provide financial consulting services relating to the purchase and development of the TCAAP Property and the preparation of a resource plan in the City in an amount not to exceed $150,000 Ms. Barton stated staff was recommending Council approve the Consulting Services with Ehlers & Associates, Inc., per the proposal dated April 18, 2007, for consulting services relating to the purchase and redevelopment of the TCAAP excess property and the development of a resource plan for the City, in an amount not to exceed $150,000. Councilmember Holden stated she did not see if the project went under TIF and the TIF went off after 25 years, where did it describe what costs were needed after the TIF would fall off. She asked how did they come into play for infrastructure. Ms. Wolfe stated it could come under several of the different project categories outlined and if that was a question they had that needed to be addressed in the report. Councilmember McClung stated that was a good question and they should explore this down the road, but they needed to remember that a TIF district did not need to last 25 years and even if it did last 25 years, once the TIF district was extinguished a portion of the revenue would come to the City, so he believed there would be a decent size of revenue coming into the City once TIT went away,but they did need to factor this information in. • MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to approve the contract dated April 18, 2007 with Ehlers and Associates to provide financial consulting services relating to the purchase and development of the TCAAP Property and the preparation of a resource plan in the City in an amount not to exceed $150,000. Councilmember Holmes stated she assumed Ehlers & Associates would be available to answer any questions the Council or City had. The motion carried unanimously(5-0). B.
