<br />Ms. Paulseth indicated the $50,000 in question was for oversizing and looping and was <br />paid by a check and it is the other developer's costs that were not paid in excess of <br />$50,000 and they were billed. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that she feels that if the $50,000 was paid for the <br />looping she would like to include the remaining amounts left over after subtracting out <br />what was used at the Shores on the Peltier Preserve project. <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth indicated the $50,000 was to be used for the City's portion of costs for <br />looping. The City made an agreement with the developer to loop water a different way <br />and the funds were for the cost of what it would cost to go across the creek to mitigate <br />extra costs for the City and there was never a mention of the money going to benefit <br />residents. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated there was a motion in March of this year to utilize any <br />remaining funds for this project. <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth indicated that Staffhas been reviewing minutes but there are about 20 pages <br />that make reference to this and she was just given them today and would need to further <br />research it. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she had asked for the information to <br />determine how much was left of the $50,000 for looping to be first applied to the City's <br />costs on this proj ect in order to determine whether the amounts to the residents were <br />going to change. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that she feels. the developer's costs are more bills due <br />the City that the developer did not pay and she does not feel it is fair to take the costs for <br />looping out of those costs to offset what the City needs to collect. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she needed that number and when she has <br />that she would be willing to apply the balance to the rest of the project but wants to pay <br />the City's portion and take out what was applied to The Shores. <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth indicated that no oversizing has been transferred to The Shores fund yet <br />because that developer did his own engineering and the project is not final. <br /> <br />Ms. Paulseth commented that in every document that the City has it states that the funds <br />were for the City's trunk costs and there is no evidence that it was to benefit the residents. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the agreement that references the $50,000 was <br />between the developer and the City and residents were not third party beneficiaries to that <br />agreement. It was a benefit to the City for a particular project to benefit the water <br />system. He then agreed with Ms. Paulseth that the City has no obligation to offset the <br />assessment by any dollar amount but can choose to do so. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 19 <br />
