ARDEN HILLS TCAAP WORK SESSION-AUGUST 26-51009 5 City Administrator Moorse noted there were no challenges at this time. Councilmember Grant indicated this item was in dispute as Mike was over budget. City Administrator Moorse stated this has been discussed. Councilmember Grant explained Mike Comodeca's work was completed because Barry Steinberg was not around, which meant RRLD was using the City's environmental attorney. He felt these expenses should be reimbursed. Mayor Harpstead agreed. City Administrator Moorse indicated the closed work session meetings discussing the PDA extensions regarding RRLD were important to Ryan and the City. Mayor Harpstead questioned if any of the invoice dollars were spent after dissolution of the development agreement between the two parties. He felt the answer to this was no. City Administrator Moorse indicated the City did agree to spend a specific dollar amount in May to close everything out. The expenses from Mike Comodeca and Steve Bubul were roughly $4,000 over the budgeted amount. Mayor Harpstead requested a copy of the double-signed letter that was signed in May and asked that Finance Director Iverson clarify the overage. Councilmember Holmes reviewed a memo dated May 11, 2009 with the Council to clarify this information. The next item for discussion was the invoices from Steve Bubul. City Administrator Moorse noted there have not been any comments or challenges on these invoices. He explained a substantial amount was spent on the Security Agreement that Ryan needed with US Bank, which was a fully reimbursable expense. Councilmember Holmes indicated Steve Bubul was not over budget and none of his invoices were in dispute. She then questioned why these invoices were not paid in full by Ryan and why staff did not check into this sooner.
