Based on those joint discussions, Mr. 5 Trudgeon reviewed revisions to the proposed project timeline and task outline (Attachment A) 6 over the next 1.5 years and selection of a preferred developer, as well as modifications to the 7 Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment B) between the City Council and RHRA for the 8 City-owned lot. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the City Council approved the Memorandum of 9 Understanding, as amended, at their October 15, 2012 meeting. 10 11 Board members had no further revisions or feedback. 12 13 Motion: Member Willmus moved, seconded by Member Lee to approve the 14 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (Attachment B) between the City of Roseville 15 and the Roseville HRA regarding the sale of the Dale Street Fire Station located at 2335 16 Dale Street to the RHRA; as amended with Item C.3 to read as follows: 17 “The RHRA will undertake environmental review and remediation of the Property, 18 including conducting a Phase I and Phase II environmental review as necessary; a 19 Hazardous Building Assessment and resulting remediation as determined by the studies.” 20 21 Ayes: 5 22 Nays: 0 23 Motion carried. 24 25 As a bench handout, attached hereto and made a part hereof, staff provided a sample letter 26 dated September 25, 2012, addressed from the RHRA to area property owners in the 27 neighborhood, alerting them to potential plans, and advising them of future opportunities for 28 their input as the process evolves. 29 30 In response to Chair Maschka’s request for feedback of the joint meeting with the City 31 Council, the consensus was that it had been a good meeting and discussion, and was found 32 very encouraging by Members. 33 34 At Member Masche’s request, Mr. Trudgeon addressed potential environmental issues at the 35 fire station site, anticipated to be asbestos. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the vehicle oil 36 underground holding tanks had been removed in the late 1990’s, however, no thorough testing 37 for leaks had been done at that time to determine if the surrounding soil had been 38 contaminating. 39 40 Therefore, Ms. Kelsey advised that this was noted in the Phase I environmental review as a 41 potential environmental concern, prompting a Phase II to determine if any contamination was 42 in evidence. 43 44 Mr. Trudgeon advised that a Phase I would be conducted on the home as well. 45 46 As noted by Member Masche, Mr. Trudgeon confirmed that it was the intent to deliver all 47 properties free of any environmental issues; and noted that the City would work with the 48 RHRA on the fire station site; and $50,000 had been set aside for environmental remediation 49 and purchase prices lowered accordingly. 50 51 Mr. Trudgeon advised that this would be discussed in more detail at a future point in the 52 process. 53 54 Discussion included opportunities for individual RHRA input in the design process for the 55 three (3) acre site beyond future meetings with the neighborhood for their input; brainstorming
