City Council Minutes from July 24, 1996 <br /> Powers- Rasmussen explained that because of her absence she had questions regarding the <br /> feasibility study and wetlands in the park. She also expressed frustration with the decrease <br /> in the open space and that is not turning out to be what was originally proposed. <br /> Nyberg stated that the schedule will slip some because the city has not received the <br /> required escrow amount. (The schedule is noted in MSA's letter dated July 12, 1996.) <br /> Nyberg said because the developer is funding the project, versus going through the 429 <br /> process, the street and utilities do not have to be bid. C. W. Houle is the contractor <br /> generally used by the developer. <br /> Nyberg suggested that a good way to keep some control over the project would be <br /> approving the pay estimates. <br /> General consensus of the council is that no action or staff time is to be spent on the project <br /> until the escrow is received. <br /> Clearwater Meadows <br /> Nyberg stated the final submittal has been drafted and routed internally at Dewberry and <br /> 1 Davis and the main issues have been communicated with FEMA. There appears to be no <br /> problems with the FEMA application. <br /> Nyberg stated the utility bid could be awarded at the August 14 meeting and if it would go <br /> to August 28 the contractor has said they will extend the bid. <br /> Appraisal Proposals <br /> Helmbrecht stated it would be to the city's benefit to use an appraiser that works with <br /> Anoka County Court system. <br /> March stated it may be premature to have appraisals done before an issue has been <br /> formally presented to the city. Brenner said that the appraisals were requested to assist in <br /> setting the assessments. Nyberg thought it would set a standard that may not be in the <br /> best interest of the city. <br /> MOTION by Helmbrecht, second by Brenner to request that staff research what other <br /> cities are charging for water assessments and their procedure and to hold off on the <br /> appraisals. Motion carried, Powers - Rasmussen voted nay. <br /> Antenna Permit Fee <br /> MOTION by Helmbrecht, second by Powers - Rasmussen to approve the antenna permit <br /> application fee of $1250.00 and that resolution 96 -05 -- fee structure -- be amended to <br /> include this fee. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> CC7 -24MM. WPS 4 <br />
