All in favor. Motion carried. VIII. OLD BUSINESS 1. Plans & Specifications for City Hall Parking Lot Lighting Administrator Statz stated that this is a chance for Council to see the plans for lighting for design of parking lot. We were hoping to put it in the ground this fall and hoping to use grant money from OSHA, but the grant money ran out for 2022. He stated we will apply again in January 2023 when they have funds available and we would be successful getting the $10,000 grant from OHSA. Our lighting cost will need to exceed $20,000 for a match and if it does not we will add in some security cameras for the City Hall. We are going to wait on all of the issues to correlate with this grant. He is asking Council to review the plans for lighting and authorize staff to solicit quotes for construction in 2023. A discussion ensued about the security cameras, where they are positioned, timing, adding an outlet for holidays lights, flag or banners, if there will be a timer switch, and motion sensors for the lights. Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Council Member King Approve the Plans & Specifications for City Hall Parking Lot Lighting. All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Purchase Agreement with Schifsky Companies Administrator Statz reported on a purchase agreement with Schifsky Companies that is in packet. They are a contractor/excavator that is working with Team Boo to do a development on Block 7. Schifsky Companies are the ones that will be signing this Purchase Agreement and they will ultimately be the developer but Mr. Boo will acting on their behalf. He stated if Council was in agreement with this Purchase Agreement tonight, they would move forward and getting more due diligence done their part to see if they can make this project work. Their intent is to take Centra Home’s plan and build this project. This gives them 6 months to decide whether or not they are going to move forward on this project. On May 1, 2023, they would closed on the property. Administrator Statz stated what they anticipate is that they will sign the agreement within a month or two, we would see an application for a Preliminary Plat from them, and then we would move through the preliminary plat process. Once through the process, we would recommend the Plat & PUD and finalize purchase of property. Hopefully, construction would begin in the spring of 2023. A discussion ensued regarding the purchase agreement for the land, holding them to the contract, developer’s agreement, Centra Home’s plans, CBDG components and county oversights and protections in the agreement when the land sale goes up.
