<br />VI. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />VII. OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Grassen Companies - Streetlights (Eagle Pass 2nd Addition) <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg apologized for misleading the residents in attendance into believing <br />that the streetlight issue had been discussed as he was not aware this was on the agenda. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the two issues were the same. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />had recommended that Council seriously consider the streetlight situation and make a <br />decision. She then explained that some of the Commissioners felt the City could put <br />some lights in and some felt the City should not put more lights in. She also explained <br />that there was a resident in attendance that had accused the Planning Commission of not <br />caring about the safety of the residents. She further explained that the residents of Eagle <br />Pass feel that the neighborhood is not safe because the streets are winding and there are <br />not enough lights. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked if there was a way to check into why Mr. Quigley had <br />paid for 15 lights and there are only 12 in the development. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that getting 12 lights when he paid for 15 <br />lights is an issue for the developer to deal with. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated that Mr. Quigley paid the City for the 15 lights as part <br />of the developer's agreement. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated he did not have the developer's agreement with him but <br />said he does not think the developer's agreement is based on a number. He then <br />indicated that streetlights are calculated and an amount is required for escrow or letter of <br />credit based on the estimate of lights for the development. He further indicated that the <br />City and the developer are not obligated to the 15 lights. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the lighting for the development was designed by Xcel <br />Energy and reviewed and signed off on by the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked staff to respond to the letter from Grassen Companies. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if it was the consensus of Council not to <br />authorize more street lights in the development. <br /> <br />Page 13 of25 <br />
