MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCA 10, 1999 Morelan asked about the deterioration of Ryan Drive and asked if the trucks coming from the west gate and using Ryan Drive were contributing to this problem. Frattalone replied that these trucks are coming out empty and were not damaging the street. Frattalone indicated that the problems with the road are related to the sub-soils. The City Administrator pointed out the proposed ordinance establishing the I-2 District, as well as the City Planner's recommendation for some revisions to that ordinance. Pedersen asked how the City will know how many tons the recycling operation will generate so that it can base the tax that would be due. The City Administrator suggested that there will be weight tickets that could be verified. Fahey suggested that the City stafF could work out these details with Fra-Dor. Pedersen asked if the tax would be paid annually or weekly. The Administrator sug~ested that an annual payment would be the easiest to administer. Frattalone noted that he pays County taxes on an annual basis. Pedersen asked how much money the City was talkin~; about. Frattalone estimated that the recycling operation sells between 60,000 and 100,000 tons per year, therefore, the tax generated would be between $6,000 and $10,000. Scalze pointed out that the City has made no commitment to spend that money exclusive(y in Ryan Industrial park. Stanke reported that the majority of the property owners who were present at Frattalone's meeting wanted to see the money spent in Ryan Industrial Park. Mark Hanson, Fra-Dor, reported that they suggested this money be spent in the park. However, that is not Fra-Dor's decision to make. Cloutier reported that the property owners would like to see this money spent in the Park given that some of the properties are in need of upgrading Scalze pointed out that if the Fra-Dor site were fully developed and paying full property taxes, the City would not designate the taxes from this parcel for use in upgrading Ryan Industrial Park. Scalze stated that she could not see how the City could desi~;nate this money to be used any differently than property taxes are used. She did not support the desi~nation of this money to be spent on one neighborhood.
