COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 19, 1997 three (3) years for the first term and five (5) years for each term thereafter. Council felt that longer license terms may give the customers more favorable rates. Staff was also directed to include a cancellation clause in the proposed draft, provide for a means to assess unpaid customer bills and extend the current license period for the current haulers to December 31, 1997. Haulers will bill the customers thereby eliminating the need for additional City staff. The matter will be brought back to the Council at a future work session. ENVIRONMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE (EAC)UPDATE, RANDY SCHUMACHER Council discussed the process of making the EAC a permanent body similar to the Park Board and the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Tesch will meet with Ms. Maurine Davidson, a member of the EAC o outline Council directives which include organizing this committee as the o mending boards; by -laws, and preparation of an ordinance establishing Council will receive an update on the matter in about EMERGENCY ORDINANCE, LAND O RA F t PHASE I, TOWN CENTER, BRIAN WESSEL Staff recommended an em • •'a in � e be adopted to purchase land to be included in the Town Center de =,,• �•. n'� e same process used in the purchase of the Apollo Business Park w.z� „• be for ,:s purchase. The purpose for this recommendation is the City would h te` k• ntrol of the development as well as the timing of the development. Mr. Wessel used the overhead projector and provided the background on this matter. He is proposing to purchase the Glenn Rehbein property former owned by the Methodist Church. Originally Mr. Rehbein wanted to be a partner in the Village development but now is directing all his resources to a development in Wisconsin. In addition, originally Mortenson Development was backing this project but now Kraus /Anderson will be the developer. Mr. Wessel outlined a proposal for acquiring the Rehbein property. Ownership of the land will remain with Mr. Rehbein until each parcel is sold. If there is no development within five (5) years, the land reverts back to Mr. Rehbein. The City has no other obligation. Mr. Rehbein will be motivated to go along with this proposal because he is facing trunk utility assessments. Mr. Wessel also recommended purchasing the Funkhauser's property. This property almost separates the Rehbein property from the property the City is obtaining via the land swap with Anoka County. PAGE 4
