<br />City Council Regular Meeting - 09/26/05 <br />Minutes - Page 8 <br /> <br />opined that the developer should be responsible for <br />expenses to meet environmental standards. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kough brought to staffs attention several <br />questions he had on expenses; and requested clarification <br />by staff at a later time. <br /> <br />Mr. Welsch noted that the use of Eco-Deep's level of <br />expertise was a condition suggested by the Planning <br />Commission; and staff didn't have the professional <br />expertise to see the condition implemented, therefore the <br />firm was hired to augment staffs expertise; and was a <br />reimbursable expense by the developer upon billing by the <br />City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kough questioned the status of <br />reimbursements by Rottlund Homes; and continuing bills <br />from Krass Monroe for financial analyses. <br /> <br />Mr. Welsch noted that the City pays the periodic billings as <br />applicable, then invoices the developer for reimbursable <br />expenses. Mr. Welsch assured Councilmember Kough that <br />the developer was meeting their contract requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing requested clarification from staff on <br />allegations made by Councilmember Kough that Rottlund <br />was not current on their reimbursements to the City. <br />Councilmember Maschka concurred with this request, via <br />verbal report by Finance Director Chris Miller. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller advised that, to-date, Rottlund had been billed <br />and had reimbursed the City in the amount of <br />approximately $155,000; which was current with what they <br />had been billed. Mr. Miller noted that the City billed the <br />developer on a monthly basis; and there was an outstanding <br />$8,600 being processed by the City to the developer for <br />reimbursement. Mr. Miller clarified that the developer was <br />current with reimbursable billings by the City to-date. <br /> <br />Councilmember Ihlan noted that she had previously <br />requested documentation as to Rottlund payments to-date, <br />
