MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP <br />NOVEMBER 14, 2018 <br />The City Administrator reviewed the proposed conditions for the Development <br />Agreement. He noted that these would be forwarded on to the attorney who is <br />drafting the agreement. Torkelson stated that he was concerned that the average <br />job wage listed could be skewed by a couple of high paying jobs, while the rest <br />are at minimum wage. He would like the new jobs to be somewhere between <br />minimum wage and $15.00 per hour. <br />McGraw asked if there was a timeline for when Bix had to have the new jobs <br />added. The City Administrator stated that the proposed language requires the <br />developer to meet the hiring requirements within two years of completion of the <br />building. Torkelson stated that he agrees with the free market and not forcing <br />businesses to do anything, but they have now come to the State and City asking <br />for assistance, so he feels they have left the free market. McGraw is very <br />concerned about this business's exterior operations affecting the neighbors. <br />Montour stated that the back-up beeping of the trucks could be very disruptive <br />to the adjacent neighbors. Shearen "explained that when purchasing a new <br />loader, the City opted for a lower decibel back-up alarm because of noise <br />concerns when using it during the night. Several Council members agreed that <br />this may be a good solution to this concern. <br />The Council agreed to the conditions listed for the development agreement, <br />along with the proposed language changes by the City Administrator. <br />There being no further business, the workshop was adjourned at 7:26 p.m. <br />7o1;P11'1 <br />uy : leis, Mayor <br />s << <br />Attest: � <br />Christopher Heineman, City Administrator <br />2 <br />
