Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 28, 2008 Page 20 Further discussion included staff's role and financial impacts to the City for their oversight roles, and whether that administration would be eligible for grant funds, with staff again responding negatively that there was no such mechanism in these grant funds, but that administrative costs could be captured in relation to any TIF fees. Community Development Director Trudgeon advised that he was proposing, in his department's 2009 budget requests, that escrow accounts for developers be put in place to allow for staff's billable time. Councilmember Pust spoke in support of such a provision. Further discussion included soil vapors and stipulation for a barrier. Tam McGehee Ms. McGehee shared personal historic information and environmental work re- garding the TCE and its vapor issues and its toxicity and the need for the vapor barrier in place. Councilmember Ihlan questioned if the City had access to Cent Ventures' envi- ronmental studies, and whether the City had a copy that they could keep. Mr. Trudgeon noted that in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), page 2, line 6, Section 6 provided for the City to receive copies of all environmental documents and reports.
