Council Member Travis stated he would like to have the need for soil correction <br /> verified as well as the estimated costs. <br /> Mr. March explained there is a large range of assistance that would be provided <br /> and, at this point, it is not possible to determine that number. The letter of intent <br /> would indicate the Council is receptive to giving some level of TIF but indicating <br /> no predetermined dollar amount. He explained that a district would not be <br /> established for assistance until the soil borings are examined and costs determined. <br /> All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Bulk Water Fees <br /> Mr. March gave an overview of the request from the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes <br /> Regional Park to purchase water. He stated the City does not have a bulk water <br /> rate set at this time and staffrecommends that the bulk fee be placed at $20 per <br /> load not exceeding 5,000 gallons per load. Mr. March added that additional <br /> charges of $3 per 1,000 gallons would be charged for loads exceeding 5,000 <br /> gallons. The water would be used for improvements being made in the park <br /> (compaction of soils, dust control, landscaping, etc). <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she would not support a contract <br /> arrangement so the City has the ability to stop the supply should there be a drought <br /> situation. <br /> Mr. March explained that a hydrant meter could be used to determine the amount <br /> of water being used. <br /> Council Member Travis suggested that a deposit be required for the meter so their <br /> usage can be deducted from the deposit when the meter is returned. <br /> Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member Nelson <br /> to authorize the purchase of a metered gate valve and approve the Bulk <br /> Water Fees at $20 per 5,000 gallons with the ability to stop supplying water <br /> should there be a drought condition. All in favor. Motion carried <br /> unanimously. <br /> X.
