. . ARDEN tlI.LLS CITY COUNCIL. DECEl'vf~ER 12. 1994 3 Councilmember Malone suggested perhaps a shorter extension of 70 days, which would bring it up to the date of the February Worksession. Mayor Probst concurred and indica~ed 120 days is too long. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the request was a stalling tactic or were there valid reasons for the extension request. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the rationale Everest has for requesting the extension is that it would then prohibit the City from negotiating with anyone else and this would provide them with a comfort level. Mayor Probst indicated the main concern is land acquisition. Mayor Probst indicated this issue needs to come to a closure and the City needs some assurances from Everest that the land is going to be development. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested revisiting the vision for the Gateway Business District. Mayor Probst instructed staff to have Everest at the Worksession to present documentation for their reasons and establish if they are working toward the same vision of the City. He also indicated they should be made aware of Council's feelings as discussed at this meeting. . Councilmember Aplikowski indicated the City would also need to establish how much money they are willing to spend on this project. Mr. Fritsinger indicated he will be meeting with financial consultants and Everest and will ultimately forward information from such meetings in the form of a staff recommendation to council. ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Post indicated additional information will be presented to the Council at the W orksession, but he wanted to notify Council of an individual that has threatened a legal challenge regarding the City's assessment policy in general and his Ingerson Road reconstruction special assessment in particular. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Hicks indicated he had requested Parks and Recreation Director Walsh to review the possible sale of land owned by the City. Ms. Walsh recommended in her memo the sale of this property. She indicated the money derived from the sale of this lot could be put in the Park Fund and used for projects such as the Perry . Park redevelopment or trail development.
