COUNCIL MINUTES December 10, 2018 DRAFT 239 Council Member Manthey said he felt some concern about that language but he understands that there 240 are surface water needs in the area. 241 Mayor Reinert said he is concerned that this council and future council should not be bound to make 242 bad decisions. 243 Council Member Stoesz said he is also concerned about language on the surface water project; there is 244 no flexibility on the date to complete. Mr. Grochala explained the rate structure for surface water 245 management, typically collected on a phase basis; the amount in this development requirement applies 246 the amount as an assessment across all the acreage; it isn't subject to change. 247 Mayor Reinert asked the cost of the channel project and Mr. Grochala said approximately $3 million. 248 The mayor asked how staff knows that $2.1 million to the developer is the correct amount; Mr. 249 Grochala said it is based on calculation of established City charges. Mayor Reinert suggested this is 250 not an average project. 251 252 Mayor Reinert noted that surface water reuse is mandated by this document. That's a fairly new idea 253 but he sees it as a good idea to use pond water for irrigation. He doesn't like the word "mandate" for 254 that project though. Mr. Grochala explained what is proposed — what areas will be served by surface 255 water irrigation and those that would be served by typical methods. Engineer Hankee explained that 256 there are rules and regulations about use of the surface water and information will be posted. 257 Council Member Stoesz remarked that the "mandate" occurs in two areas of the agreement. 258 Council Member Manthey recalled past council discussions that brings the process forward for part of 259 the project. 260 Engineer Hankee explained when the typical irrigation system would kick in. She also noted use of the 261 surface water irrigation model in other cities; there is not concern about the process. 262 Mayor Reinert noted language in the agreement allowing the developer to periodically change financial 263 security but he doesn't see any guidelines to manage that. Attorney Squires said it is typical in a 264 development agreement to allow a reduction in security as work is completed and the project moves 265 on. The referenced language allows a request only once per month. The approval is normally not 266 brought to the council. Mr. Grochala noted that posted security and staff (engineer) review and 267 approval is involved. Mr. Grochala noted the language related to the Letter of Credit. 268 Mayor Reinert noted language on park dedication that appears to bind the City. Mr. Grochala 269 explained the location of the park and when the park dedication language occurred in the process and 270 how it will be used going forward. 271 Mayor Reinert discussed the language on the clubhouse, reading that it is to be constructed at "518 272 building permits". Mayor Reinert proposed instead of 518 building permits that it read "518 lots 273 approved". 274 Mayor Reinert pointed out language that requires the Peltier lake channel to be built by 2020; he asked 275 the council about their opinion on the language. Council Member Maher asked about the rationale? 276 Mr. Grochala explained that the developer cannot go forward with phases (even with grading) that they 277 have committed to without the water outlet that would allow for approval from the watershed district; 278 that year is doable from a construction standpoint. 7
