She explained that it provides for a 20 year lease at 51,155.00 per year, improvements must be according to the approved site plan and AMOCO can only terminate the lease upon sale of the property. City Planner Tim Malloy reviewed the proposed landscaping plan and indicated he was in favor of the plan with a few concerns regarding the variety of rocks and large area to be landscaped with rock. He felt less rock and more turf would be advisable. Peter Bachman, Attorney for AMOCO, stated he was not familiar with the landscaping plans and requested the lease and plan be approved contingent upon final approval of the landscaping. He also stressed that the lease provides that the city or AMOCO could terminate the lease if MN/DOT does not turn the land over to the city (anticipated completion date of turn over is 6 months). Following the discussion Ciernia moved approval of the lease and site plan for the AMOCO Station at 1692 N. Snelling contingent upon final review and approval by the City Administrator and City Planning Consultant. Motion carried unanimously. PROPOSED RESOLUTION R-92-33 SUPPORTING THE ROSEVILLE AREA SCHOOL BOND ISSUE Following a presentation by John Thein, Director of Business Affairs for the school district, Gibson Talbot moved the adoption of Resolution R-92-33. Jacobs questioned whether or not it was appropriate for a city government to be involved in requesting people to vote for a school bond issue. Ciernia expressed the opinion that it was wholly appropriate as the council is concerned for the quality of life in the community and schools are an important aspect of quality of life. Baldwin commented on the fact that schools are kept separate from cities and counties to be free of politics, however, it was not intended that schools be free of support and encouragement. Gibson Talbot agreed that schools are important to quality of life and should be supported. Upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor of the motion, Baldwin, Ciernia and Gibson Talbot, and the following voted against the same: None. Jacobs abstained. Motion carried.
