Jim March To: Jim Hoeft; Brian Hanson; City Council; Dave Italian; Doug Porten Elizabeth Scheller; John McLean; Lori Dom; Mary Capra; Michelle Moser, Ray Devine; Theresa Brennen Tom Peterson Subject: Week in Review Week in Review February 18, 2000 Building Permits this Period = 1 Building Permits YTD = 9 New Homes Year to Date = 3 * Attention!! I have one Centerville Lion's Cadillac Dinner ticket remaining for the event to be held at the Hugo Legion tomorrow evening. If you are interested in coming to this fun event, please give me an immediate call for details. * We received our second half SCORE reimbursement from Anoka County. This payment partially reimburses the City in our efforts for promoting recycling in the community. The payment was $3,040. * Paul Palzer and I completed the walk -thru of the Eagle Trucking building on Monday. There are numerous items of personal property that Mr. Hubers is willing to leave with the building that would be a benefit to the public works department. I would encourage Council members to walk through the building prior to the Council meeting. Mr. Hubers is willing to provide tours as long as you call ahead first. The tours can be arranged any time during normal business hours. I can arrange a common time or times can be scheduled individually on your own. A revised purchase agreement will be discussed at our next meeting. * The realtor representing Socrates Babacus stopped at City Hall again on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Vincent indicated that title work is being done on the Rehbein property that they are interested in purchasing. This would be the proposed site for the retractable roof "Star Dome ". Mr. Vincent indicated that Braun Intertec has been retained to perform soil borings. KKE architects of Minneapolis has been retained to complete the preliminary master plan. A check for $500,000 has been ordered for the escrow account of Lino Lakes. They plan to meet with Lino Lakes in two weeks. Socrates Babacus is due back in the area on March 10th. Mr. Vincent indicated that they have pulled their options off of the other sites that they were exploring. Mr. Vincent seems very confident that this stadium will be built. He also stated that if Lino Lakes even hints of any potential lack of desire for the stadium, Socrates will drop the deal. In my opinion, this proposal still seems like an extreme long shot. A breakfast meeting has been scheduled for March 1st with Lino Lakes City Council, Centerville City Council, Anoka County Commissioner Margaret Langfeld and 2/18/00
