Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 7, 2018 Page 11 "mall ownership and applicant ownership shall execute a parking alloca- tion agreement so as to provide no less than 42 parking stalls for exclusive use by applicant's customers. " Councilmember Laliberte and Etten agreed with the amended language. Councilmember McGehee commented that there is a problem in this entire area, but the Council is only being asked to look at a particular item. Until the City gets its governance in order, piece-meal decisions will continue to be made. Councilmember Willmus indicated he is not opposed to drive-thrus in general or a drive-through at this location. He does not like how the site is laid out. Mayor Roe spoke in support of the motion. There are conditional uses in place to work through these uses to make the projects work. As has been stated, these changes to the parking lot will make improvements to the flow and safety of the parking lot. The Council is looking at this from the higher level. Issues remain with the Snelling pedestrian crossings, and public statements have been made in planning documents to that effect. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, Etten and Roe. Nays: McGehee and Willmus.

Adopt a Resolution Supporting Local Subsidy for Colder Products Company (CPC) to Locate New Headquarters at 2814 Cleveland Ave Community Development Director Collins briefly highlighted this item as de- tailed in the RCA and related attachments dated May 7, 2018. She noted that Colder Products has identified as 2814 Cleveland Ave as their new global head- quarters for approximately 388 employees, up to potentially 486 by 2022. Due to significant site challenges, CPC is seeking environmental remediation dollars and also looking for redevelopment subsidy by way of a brand-new TIF for the site. The subsidy request is approximately $3 million, $2 million of a redevelopment TIF based off a preliminary TIF run by Ehlers, and approximately $1 million in HSS dollars towards remediation. These figures are very preliminary, depending on environmental conditions. Several representatives of CPC are present to talk with the Council.
