Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 16, 2015 Page 30 County and MnDOT detennined their scope and the nature of those improve- ments anticipated. Mayor Roe called for public comment, with no one appearing to speak. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon noted that all public im- provements related to this development would be specifically addressed through staff and JLL negotiating a Public Improveinent Contract with a final dollar ainount defined, and subject to future fonnal action by the City Council.

City Attorney Gaughan stated that the action currently before the City Council was to approve the PUD Amendment Agreeinent as presented, and stated that his office and staff recommended its approval as presented. Councihnember Laliberte asked if City staff and civil engineer was in agreement with this estimate of $400,000 by JLL's engineers. Public Works Director Culver responded that this was the current estimate pro- vided by Kimley-Horn, who was a respected and coinpetent consultant that the City had used on past projects. Mr. Culver advised that City staff had reviewed their brealcdown of the estimate, and for the most part, it seemed reasonable. Mr.
