ARDEN HILLS TCAAP WORK SESSION-AUGUST 26, 2009 9 Councilmember Holmes felt there was no way Ryan could dispute the County Road H engineering expenses as this was fully TCAAP. Mayor Harpstead noted that if the City received a grant, they would be responsible for paying Ryan back a portion of these expenses. He questioned if the Council could provide guidance in this area and if they were in agreement with being flexible up to $20,000. Councilmember McClung indicated he was not willing to offer any flexibility at this time until Ryan provided more detail as to their disputes. Mayor Harpstead agreed stating the Council could ask for a specific proposal as it pertains to TH10 and CR96 so as to further understand the issues. The Council was in agreement with this suggestion. Councilmember Holmes questioned the difference in services provided by Bolton & Menk versus SEH. Mayor Harpstead explained that SEH was not chosen to provide services as they were too close to the developer. City Administrator Moorse indicated that SEH was doing the preliminary design work for Ryan on the County Road H interchange. Bolton & Menk was reviewing that work for the City. Councilmember Grant noted that he would like to know when the executed PDA amendments and/or resolutions came before Council, and would like to see the documents. He indicated that RRLD must have had representation at these meetings. Councilmember McClung agreed that this should be reviewed by Council with the signed documents. City Administrator Moorse stated that the County Road H document was signed and executed, but that he would bring these both back to Council for their review. Mayor Harpstead indicated this was his first experience with something not being co-signed or counter signed. He suggested the documents be found and that the minutes be reviewed before the September l oth meeting to provide staff and Council with the necessary information.
