Mr. Kolstad is the realtor representing the bank that is still interested in locating in our downtown area.

Mr. Rehbein was asked to sign a new letter of commitment for a donation of 9,710 square feet of wetland credits to the City to be used in our development of LaMotte Park. An earlier letter from Mr. Rehbein had been signed for this donation of wetland credits. The donation was to come from credits that were earned from the construction of the pond he had created next to his shop. Those credits had already been allocated by the Rice Creek Watershed District. This new letter that I asked Mr. Rehbein to sign committed available wetland credits that he has from a development known as Fairview Farms in Forest Lake Township. Mr. Rehbein did agree to donate credits from this development and the Rice Creek Watershed Dist.- has received this letter and processed our watershed permit for LaMotte Park. This donation to the City would be worth $4,467 in the open market if we had to purchase the wetland credits separately from an available source. A copy of the donation letter has been placed in your mailbins. * In the above mentioned meeting with Mr. Rehbein, he had mentioned that he was meeting with the representatives from Sewall Gear on Wednesday. Mr. Rehbein also mentioned that he had held a meeting earlier in the day with the school's consultant for the proposed kindergarten building. The school is interested in signing the lease for the new building to be located on the property south of Eagle Trucking. They would like to have footings installed for the building this year.
