Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 23, 2015 Page 25 with Phase I consisting of six units along Cope Avenue, then selling each addi- tional building with construction to continue nonstop. Councilmember Willmus stated that he had some concerns with the phased ap- proach, especially since some of it centered around demolition of the former fire station, thereby eliminating any potential use of that facility by the City in another capacity. If the building is razed, Councilmember Willmus noted that such an op- tion was no longer available for the City, especially should future phases did not occur. Councilmember Willmus admitted his frustration with the process, and expressed appreciation to GMHC for their e-mail correspondence received today, that served to shed some light on things for him. Councilmember Willmus ad- vised that one of those concerns was his confusion as to why GMHC didn't pur- sue an extension of their Preliminary Development Agreement, which that corre- spondence indicated they had done, causing him to reconsider tonight's recom- mended action. While not knowing where his colleagues stood, Councilmember Willmus stated that he was not comfortable taking action tonight to terminate City involvement, since he did not feel he had all of the pertinent information and background on the negotiations to-date, and needed to obtain that information from staff. Coun- cilmember Willmus further state that he was not putting a motion on the floor at this time,but suggested it may be prudent for the City Council to step back to col- lect and gather information and then determine where they were at in the process and what was needed to proceed, including a clear timeline before entertaining additional conversation. At this point, Councilmember Willmus stated that he would not support the City Manager's recommendation to terminate. Mayor Roe stated that he needed to understand better from GMHC representa- tives and City staff how the City's interests would best be protected if units moved quicker in the market place that indicated by the appraisal; and if entering into a Development Agreement resulting in all three phases being completed, what recourse would be available if not accomplished, and that would be clear to all parties. Mayor Roe stated that this was a key aspect for him in his decision- making. Mayor Roe noted this may relate to figuring out the market after Phase I and if a better appraisal became available as a result of that phase. Ms. Olson advised that, while constructing Phase I, GMHC intended to be mar- keting Phase II and would be able to get an appraisal based on that one project. Councilmember Laliberte asked Re/Max representatives asked if they had seen the eighteen unit proposal provided by GMHC. Mr. Stockwell confirmed that they had seen the same one-page site plan provided to the City Council.
