Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,February 23, 2015 <br /> Page 29 <br /> the original plan, Mr. McNamara noted that involved much more site improve- <br /> ment costs. Mr. McNamara advised that to remain committed, the bank needed <br /> to see ongoing progress, and was willing to lay out 2-3 variables of options the <br /> bank could support. As stated at the HRA meeting by Community Development <br /> Director Bilotta, Mr. McNamara recognized that the City would have similar con- <br /> cerns to those of the bank, with all parties wanting the units to sell. Mr. <br /> McNamara advised that at the February 17 HRA meeting, he was envisioning that <br /> discussion to concern what was at the crux of drafting a Development Agreement <br /> and the City's requirements for GMHC and clear timelines, which the bank would <br /> respond to. Mr. McNamara stated that he anticipated much shorter timeframes for <br /> construction, twelve to eighteen months versus three or four years as a guideline. <br /> Councilmember Willmus noted that one issue faced and timeline delays involved <br /> two different entities owning property for the development: the HRA and City; <br /> and asked staff for their input on whether or not one of those entities should take <br /> position of the entire parcel, and which entity that should be. <br /> City Manager Trudgeon responded that having two entities with two governing <br /> boards did complicate things, and that originally the City Council had ceded re- <br /> sponsibility of the development to the HRA. However, Mr. Trudgeon noted that <br /> the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) transferring that responsibility had <br /> now expired, prompting tonight's discussion and his recommendation. Mr. <br /> Trudgeon opined that if the properties were combined under one entity, the City <br /> Council had a large vested interest in the project and had used the HRA to make it <br /> happen. However, since the City controlled the former fire station property, City <br /> Manager Trudgeon recommended that it may be more appropriate for the City <br /> Council to become the entity in charge, and get control of the land and purchase <br /> other parcels from the HRA. <br /> Councilmember Willmus suggested that action be taken soon. <br /> At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Buelow confirmed that, regard- <br /> less of the 18 or 25 unit plan decided upon, the goal was to start on Cope Avenue. <br /> In response to Councilmember Laliberte's question on the need for the former fire <br /> station to be razed immediately, Mr. Buelow advised that it added value to the <br /> property to have it razed and for marketing purposes to show a clean site, but if <br /> necessary could remain even though it would not be aesthetically pleasing to po- <br /> tential buyers of units. <br /> Ms. Olson noted that it would change equity in the property to some extent. <br /> Mr. McNamara responded that he was of the opinion that it was everyone's goal <br /> to remove the fire station in a timely manner; and while recognizing Coun- <br /> cilmember Willmus' comment about that causing uncertain equity concerns for <br />
