MEMBERS PRESENT: Reinert, Neal, Kuether,'Elliott,,; Bergeson MEMBERS ABSENT : None Staff members present: Consulting Planner, Al Brixius; City Attorney, Bill Hawkins; Assistant to the City Administrator, Dan Tesch and Clerk -Treasurer Marilyn Anderson. Jim Golembeck from the League of Minnesota Insurance Trust was also present. The purpose of the closed session was to discuss a proposal for settlement of the Reshanau Park Estates Homeowners Association (RPEHA) litigation. Mr. Hawkins gave a brief background on this matter. A jury trial had been scheduled for August 15, 1994. However, the RPEHA had presented a proposal for settlement. The City Council met in a closed session on July 25, 1994 and directed the Consulting Planner, City Attorney and the City Administrator to prepare a counter proposal to the RPEHA proposal. Mr. Hawkins asked Mr. Brixius to outline the counter proposal. Mr. Brixius explained that he did meet with Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Schumacher and discussed whether the City should go through the process of granting a PDO for use of the outlots. If the City were to propose that the RPEHA apply for a rezone to PDO and such an application were made, the City would have to follow all ordinance requirements including: holding a public hearing (it probably would be a large audience), publishing notices in the official newspaper and directing the process through the Planning and Zoning Board. A public hearing could be controversial and the City Council would have to agree in advance that they would look favorably at granting a PDO. Mayor Reinert noted that originally the RPEHA was directed to apply for a PDO and they withdrew the application before the City Council could take action. PAGE 1
