City Attorney Anderson addressed the costs incurred, as per contract terms, that the developer would be paying, and the differentiation between a contract and application. Mayor Klausing spoke in support of the motion; opining that the expenses incurred to-date were pursuant to the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement entered into between the City and Rottlund Homes; and that the work was requested of Krass Monroe by the City Council to allow more informed decision-making and to determine financial implications to best protect the City of Roseville, and prior to drafting the term sheet and further consideration of the project. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in opposition to the motion; questioning the legal authority the City has to disregard the TIF policy; reiterating her interpretation of the terms and specifications of the TIF Policy; and opining that Rottlund Homes should pay all consulting costs to-date.
