Administrator Statz stated that there may have been clarification needed for the wording of the item placed on the agenda. He stated that he is requesting that the Council consider authorizing Staff, the consultant (Northland Securities) and the TIF Attorney (Mary Ipple) to draft a TIF Developer Agreement at a cost not to exceed $7,500. He stated that this would continue the processes needed to further the proposed 53 unit apartment building if that was the desire of Council as he felt that the expenditures were significant if Council did not desire to further the project. He stated that Mr. Patrick Brama, Trident Development was in attendance to answer questions this evening. Mayor Paar asked Attorney Glaser for clarification. Attorney Glaser stated that if Council desire to go forward with TIF this item would need to be discussed and if Council was against offering TIF this would not make sense to authorize. However, at this time it is not authorizing TIF. Council Member Lakso asked whether these costs could be placed against or negotiated with the Developer or whether they were reimbursable. City Administrator Statz stated that the costs could be negotiated.. Council Member Love inquired about the differences in what has been presented by Northland Securities to date and this agreement.

Mayor Paar stated that Council will determine whether the project should be funded with TIF, the years for the TIF, dollar amount of the TIF and concessions if determined at a later date.
