Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 03, 2008 Page 17 not be applied until future improvements proceeded, with development of an es- tablished process and policy to account for future dollars to be drawn on as needed or in a case by case basis. Councilmember Roe observed that if TIF funds were used, all of those funds were not collected in the first year, and as expenses were incurred, but if mitigation strategies changed, a TIF District could be decertified sooner. Ms. Bloom noted that each developer, as they came forward with their various applications, would be subject to negotiated agreements (i.e., PUD and/or TIF). Councilmember Ihlan suggested that, if TIF wasn't used for infrastructure im- provements, anescrow arrangement could be used. Councilmember Ihlan expressed appreciation for including the sidewalk informa- tion in the revised report; however, questioned how those sidewalks could be en- sured should right-of--way not be available, or if no major road imprpvements were occurring or costs allocated. Councilmember Ihlan sought to ensure that the City Council was expecting pedestrian improvements to occur as needed, and not allowed to disappear along the way. Ms. Bloom advised that the City Council could include them as part of the resolu- tion; but reminded Councilmembers that any potential projects will come before the City Council, allowing fora "checks and balance" system, in addition to up- coming meetings of the Pathway Committee later this year, and recommendations could be included for them as part of the Pathway Master Plan. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in support of including the language in the resolu- tion, as a substantial infrastructure component. Councilmember Ihlan also opined that language should insure that all infrastructure improvements be constructed, and if not needed by the development, there should be built in flexibilities to al- low for smaller or non-contiguous roadways (i.e., Twin lakes Parkway). Councilmember Pust suggested that Councilmember Ihlan limit her reference to pedestrian access to protect that area, rather than general infrastructure construc- tion. Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10605 entitled, "Adoption of the Twin lakes AUAR Infrastructure Allocation Study;" amended as follows: ^ The Resolution include the sidewalk extension improvement chart in the con- cept drawings as referenced in the February 15, 2008 memorandum from City Engineer Bloom; ^ Correct the reference to the correct document -Infrastructure Improvements for the Twin Lakes AUAR Area dated February 2008, prepared by for the City of Roseville; prepared by SRF Consulting Group, Inc.;
