City Council 08-09-2006, 7:45 p.m. <br />Summary of Work Session <br /> <br />Present were Mayor Mary Capra, Council members Michelle Lakso, Richard Terway, <br />Jeff Paar and Tom Lee. Also present were P &Z members Jennifer Klennert-Hunt, D. <br />Love, Bob Wright, Jeff Hanzal, Tom Wood and Brian Hanson as well as staff members <br />John Meyer-Finance Director, Kurt Glaser-City Attorney, Paul Palzer-Public Works <br />Director. <br /> <br />The purpose of the work session was to meet with developer Beard Group and hear their <br />interest in the Downtown Redevelopment. <br /> <br />Representatives of Beard Group present were Bill Beard, Paul Gamst, Tom Gump and <br />Ron Mehl. Bill Beard presented a slide presentation indicating other similar projects that <br />they have done and then reviewed their vision for Centerville’s Downtown. They <br />indicated that they are very interested in working with Centerville. Many questions were <br />asked and answered by the Council as well as the P &Z members. <br /> <br />Concensus among the council was that the City Attorney should draft a pre-development <br />agreement that would express the City’s willingness to work only with Beard Group and <br />would permit Beard Group to refine its redevelopment plan for review by the City. It was <br />determined that the pre-development review process would likely run to about the end of <br />2006, at which time, the city would either sign a formal development agreement or look <br />for another developer. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Dallas Larson, City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />
